It’s definitely because of Louis. He’s been doing a lot of work in the right to repair field, as well as this whole fuckin fiasco that Bambu (the 3d printer company) got themselves into by violating the LGPL license with some software. Streisand’d themselves good on that one.
Ironically, this kind of response is exactly what I’m talking about.
not a frothyboi sorry. unless you’re encouraging other people to just open it to the internet with no security in place… that’d be a bit frothy.
Like I’m all for choices you know. But I want people to make informed choices. If I’d tried to pitch Jellyfin to my group of gamer friends for sharing media then it would have gone nowhere because it requires more technical knowledge than they possess or that I want to support. They were all able to set up free, relatively secure Plex instances with essentially no assistance.
It’s only frothing if you insist that installing tailscale on your grandma’s DSL modem is the best way to share home movies
Also you dont have to be lumped in with the frothing at the mouth Jellyfin users.
At this point if I were to switch from Plex I would go with Emby just because a bunch of sweaty nerds don’t simp over it every time Plex comes up in the news.
This is the same business model that tech “startups” use, just at a vastly accelerated time table. Upend some existing market (in this case, several markets) by burning through cash at an unsustainable rate. Once your customers have been hooked, and/or the alternatives eliminated as competitors, you crank up the prices to try and make the business cashflow positive.
which whicher would you most like to which?
They should turn Go Fund Me into a cage match or something. Let people donate against the cause and whichever group wins gets to pick where the money goes. The against group would have to pick a charity.
Last time this picture/tweet was posted I believe the purpose of it was to help locate victims of human trafficking.
On my parent’s it doesnt render anything at all. Just shows the wallpaper.
Roku has had a big ad on the side for a while now? I’ve been blocking it with DNS.
“Extremism”
lol i thought they meant shower with headphones instead of water. like a sonic shower for your head.
The problem is that some people have wildly differing ideas on what counts as “just politics”. As an example, the doctor brings up the question “would a pride flag be banned if it make a homophobic person uncomfortable?”. To the homophobe, gender identity is “just politics”. To the gay/trans/etc person it very much is not politics.
Yup, just got my dual diagnosis at 40. In the US you couldn’t even have a dual diagnosis until like 10 years ago. It doesn’t change my day to day much but it does make me feel better about failing when trying ADHD coping mechanics that just aren’t made for me. Now I can look for specific strategies.
The extent of the setup for Plex is to log in with your email and password, pick which shared libraries you want to be pinned to your home screen, and then browse. My parents in their 70s were able to figure it out and all I had to do from my end was grant them access to the libraries I wanted to share with a simple check box.
You’ll retain your existing lifetime pass, fwiw. This is just price gouging new customers.
