You should not trust any company to stand up against court orders.
I like when companies openly show what data they do provide, all of the good vpns do.
- Comment on Tools to migrate from Plex to Jellyfin? 2 weeks ago:
Sunk cost is more then just money… Every reply here is some variation of “i would switch but i have all my ratings and users settings in plex already and dont know how to migrate”
Which i can understand paying because you dont have time, i just also think its foolish to pay for a service like plex when the main use case is piracy, something a company like plex clearly can not continue to support legally forever.
Eventually the big media corps will decide they need to end all library sharing options and plex will not be able to win that fight.

Its about $60 more then ive ever paid for any software, and its literally a tool for piracy, why would i pay a company that clearly want to pivot to being a second rate netflix with ads, when i can get what i need for free and not support a shitty tech company.
It was the same thing with realdebrid, its just foolish to think these companies arent going to start cracking down on any kind of “sharing” features until eventually they get removed due to pressure from the anti piracy goons.
If you got your money worth thats great but id rather direct my money to projects that arent trying to profit off pirates until they can pivot to being a legit service and wall out what actually made them good in the first place.
Its clear at this point plex is getting worse and jellfin is getting better. Almost all the replies sayibg they still use plex have a “BUT” in them about wanting to switch and being stuck because they dont know how to transfer this or that (ratings, view counts, etc), which im going to look more into later to see if i can help with.

Or sunk cost fallacy, but whatever helps you justify paying $120 for software i guess. I dont think its a black and White one size fits all thing, i just have seen this patter before with other software, and it was already happening with plex before the price increase.

PLEX is not FOSS, plex is a proprietary for profit fork of XBMC.
My point is that in 5 years a lot of these plex users will wish they made the switch to jellyfin sooner. We’ve seen this before with other FOSS projects that gets forked into proprietary bullshit to make money.

- Comment on Does not the constitution say something one should not be charged or something to vote? If so then why does my home state charge 50$ to get a regular id to vote? Is that no illegal? 3 weeks ago:
If you are unable to afford the fee for a state id then you would be considered indigent and would be able to get some kind of waver for the fee.

- Comment on Funkwhale Wants to Filter Out Far-Right Music 5 weeks ago:
This seems like well intentioned but ultimately pointless. Nothing is stopping a nazi group from just forking off an older version like how gab did with mastodon, and no currently active funkwhale pods allow right wing content already.

- Comment on How North Korea pulled off a $1.5 billion crypto heist—the biggest in history 1 month ago:
In a way crypto has fulfilled the promise of “banking the unbanked”… Its just that the main group of ”unbanked” people happened to be criminals and scammers.
Its been a huge boom for scammers, before this you had to convince people to use wester union or something and convince a person they are talking to some inconvenienced soon to be oil barron, now all they do is throw up a website with tradingview charts and people will throw money at them.

You know its good for kids if roblox is involved. That company puts every child coal mine of the past to shame with how well theyve managed to exploit kids.

Your bank has an option to export transaction history to a CSV file that can be imported into a spreadsheet.
Anything more automated is going to sell your data or cost a subscription or both.
