There’s also Syncthing Tray’s experimental android interface. You either need to install from apk, or use something like obtanium, but it may be less flaky than Termux.

At the same time, it was also good enough that it made Paramount want to pop out more shows.
SNW couldn’t exist without DSC giving us a taste of Anson Mount as Captain Pike, for example.
If people had left it, chances are, they’d have left it buried for a few more years.
DIS was shit but the worst thing about it was really that it was the first thing after the pause.
Honestly, I don’t think it was that, as much as its production was just a mess. Showrunners and writers were consistently fired partway into the season for at least the first two, and it shows, because the plot would just suddenly fly off in another direction mid-season, which doesn’t exactly work well for a serialised show.
Past that, it basically turned into an experimental testbed for show ideas, and never really seemed to find its own identity before it ended (though it came close in its last season).
- Comment on That's all folks, Plex is starting to charge for sharing 1 year ago:
Trying to monetize the piracy of your users. That’s a bold business strategy.
Some time ago, never mind how long precisely, Plex were trying to legitimise themselves, by adding streaming from official sources, etc.
I would be curious if this is meant to be a deterrent, or just to look like one by making piracy expensive.
