Yup, doesn’t matter where the data centres are - a contract is only as trustworthy as the person or company you signed it with. Throwing all your government and medical and everything else docs on somebody else’s computer with a “trust me bro” privacy statement seems like a recipe for disaster.

Not to mention that it feels like Microslop only makes Copilot vibecoded slopware.

Remember when the world wasn’t fucked up and Microsoft got spanked just for including IE in the OS? Look at the shit these fucks get away with now.

I will never understand how advertisements pay for things… Like who’s out there thinking “hell yeah, I really want to support this shit that’s interrupting everything I try to do every few minutes!” The stuff that people do buy that are advertised to them I always assumed were things they’d buy anyway like junk food and snacks.

The AI part might be new, but major subreddits were forcing people to freeboot content for years. I tried calling it out, but apparently I was the one in the wrong lmao

That might work too, but making it more difficult to access would mean fewer basic users accelerating its destruction lol. Ideally we need to move tech back to the enthusiasts who actually understand and care about it

Lol seems easy as fuck to obfuscate, especially when you’re dealing with an old telnet style system

I find it hard to believe you’re constantly learning when you turn away from something as simple as Jellyfin for being “too hard” and consider Apple products to be user friendly…

No lol. The basic setup is: you point it to your libraries, it does the rest. Just like Plex.

Connecting remotely is maybe slightly trickier since you have to open it up to the internet, or just run tailscale.

Jellyfin is complicated? It’s easier to get going than Plex IMO. It might be slightly trickier to access it outside of your home network but even that’s not all that hard, just set up tailscale

You’re not supposed to answer, you’re supposed to re-read your stupid comment and realize how wrong you are, then fix it? I’m not looking for an echo chamber, I’m looking for stupid users to stop being stupid before tech gets completely ruined by them all.

Can’t we just go back to BBSing? Improve the tech behind it to improve security, and problem solved. It’s too complicated for the normies to use and allow further enshitification from lol

I remember playing Rock’n’Roll Racing with my friend over 56K modem back in like 2002… It’s existed for a while lol

Plex and Jellyfin are basically like having your own Netflix built off your own media library. Plex offers a bunch of extra crap for a premium though.

Wouldn’t they hurt use Jellyfin? Lol The only “value” that Plex seems to have to offer these days are the weird tv services things they keep trying to push

You should learn anyway. I switched and I have no plans of looking back. Jellyfin is basically everything Plex would have been if they continued as they were installed of trying to become some stupid streaming service mess that they are turning into

Apple devices definition don’t serve people first lol

Apple died the second Woz was pushed away.

Lmao I didn’t even get that far down their stupid post. That’s some impressive stupidity. Apple is a marketing company that happens to manufacture some sub-par commercial devices that appeal to idiots that like to pretend they know what they’re talking about.

Did this person manage to get anything correct in their long-winded cloud yelling?

This is such an incredible long bunch of misinformation and nonsense…

Jellyfin is everything Plex used to be before it started sucking.

Streaming outside your home network might be slightly trickier with Jellyfin but that’s the cost of security and ownership… But really, setting up tailscale is dead simple as well, and would get you what you need in a way that is far superior to Plex…

I stopped reading beyond that because as I skimmed the post it was just more nonsense. Are you sure you’ve actually used Jellyfin?
