My tech-illiterate mom uses my Jellyfin instance with no issues. I sent her a link to the app store, her credentials, my server’s hostname and that was it. And once it’s set up, Jellyfin is much more straightforward to use than Plex.

Sure Jellyfin has issues and doesn’t support as many types of devices, but Plex is far from perfect. I use it like twice a year, and the UI gets more and more confusing with each update IMO.

Yeah, if they’re not lying it will be the worse phone ever made. The US-made Purism Liberty is $2000 and has similar specs to the Asia-made, $800 Librem 5, which is already overpriced compared to Android devices.

Mob hits.

Yeah but if the script which initiates the connection to the local server is blocked there’s no connection to intercept in the first place.

Nah, the script connects to a server run by the Instagram or Facebook app and feeds it info, bypassing isolation mechanisms entirely. I think ublock or other script-blocking add-ons might work though.

They’re at the “right to do whatever the fuck we want” stage.

Yeah the point is just to soften the populace to the idea. Our fucking PM covered for pedophile priests in a Catholic school 30 years ago, he doesn’t give any fuck about kids.

Got it today too. I clicked on “fuck you” or something like that, and I went on to watch my ad-free video.

They still need money for their jets, ICE and defense contractors.

Honestly, I’d take Niel as my overlord any day over the fuckers who are actually running the show.

That’s just not true, chatgpt & co are hugely popular, which is a big part of the issue.

Yeah, if you only do touristy stuff you’re gonna have a bad time. It’s like saying NYC sucks when you’ve only visited Time Square.

Why bother switching then?

Plex sucks but jellyseer, the *arr stack and jellyfin are all open source and entirely free. Together they provide an experience almost as straightforward as any commercial streaming platform: find a media on jellyseerr and request it with a single click. A few minutes* later the media is available in Jellyfin, and you can watch it on your computer, smartphone, smart TV, …

*with Usenet and a good internet connection

I know, I meant that although I’m interested in the tech I’ve barely tried it.

Well I do want this, augmented/virtual reality is exactly the kind of shit I dreamt about as a kid during the 90’s, and having a huge screen available anywhere I go is pretty fucking cool.

But yeah, I used a VR headset exactly once for like 5 minutes, and there’s no way in hell I’d buy one from meta or apple. If Valve releases good XR/AR glasses I might consider it.

They have quotas to fill. Makes sense for them to pick these low-hanging fruits.
