Well, I can tell you how Jellyfin differs from a directory full of files, but I can’t help you with understanding that other people have different preferences and desires than you.
You’ll have to make it to that one on your own.

You are imagining how to use a computer filled with video files.
Now imagine having your own personal netflix available on a variety of devices, using just that one computer full of video files.

Emby
Jellyfin exists because Emby was only open source until it wasn’t convenient. Some of their own devs pointed out they were violating the license, and their response was… non-ideal.
So Jellyfin was forked with the last fully open-source Emby code.
At least that’s my recollection several years down the line.
I decided then that no amount of headache from Jellyfin (and let me say that I was an EARLY jellyfin adopter AND former Plex user) would be enough to get me to use Emby. (Because things like that are important to me, though I realize they aren’t important to everyone.)
And reading this thread I’m apparently a super-genius because I have my Jellyfin behind a reverse proxy and serve it to my elderly parents with a simple login and an app they were able to install, and never found it to be a headache. (Which, if I’d read this thread only, I’d conclude was just not possible without voodoo magic)
No headaches along the way, and whereas Plex had already begun the march to enshittification when I left, Jellyfin has done nothing but steadily get better.
Anyhow, longer answer than intended, but I’d go back to Plex before I’d go to Emby, just on principle.

Odd, since my Jellyfin sits behind a reverse proxy.
- Comment on George Floyd Murdered (2020) On this day in 2020, a Minneapolis cop murdered George Floyd by kneeling on his neck for more than nine minutes. Floyd's death became the catalyst for protests around... 1 week ago:
Yep, I spent all of 2020 watching police escalate and beat protesters, all with maga yip yapping about cities “burned to the ground” and insisting that what I saw with my own eyes was not what I saw with my own eyes.
Won’t ever look at cops the same again. I was already beginning to realize they weren’t like I was raised to believe (in the bubble of privilege I grew up in) but 2020 made a lasting, permanent change.
I treat every single interaction with police, no matter how casual, like an event to be exited as soon as possible, and as if it could turn violent at any moment.
Police testimony without bodycame will = hearsay when next I’m called for jury duty.

They gotta feed the “he was no saint” narrative. (Not that I, nor anyone else, ever said he was…)

Loose fit for this community? Maybe. Never hurts to have a reminder though, given that Trump is undoing all the federal police reforms proposed as a result.

There seems to be some debate on that, but he definitely wrote a song in 2017 that should have been released a couple of months ago. 😁

I don’t feel it’s substantially changed, you’ve just added more detail. You don’t need to care about my opinion though, and I’m not suggesting you should; I’m just sharing how I see it.
- Comment on Netflix will show generative AI ads midway through streams in 2026 3 weeks ago:
I just think it doesn’t matter. We live in an economy designed to suck every possible penny from every person and pay them the least amount it possibly can, to ensure the enrichment of the 1%
Someone wants to keep a few more bucks in their pocket rather than spend more in some principled stance that will change absolutely nothing anyhow, I’m not going to judge them for it. Life fucking sucks for just about everyone in the US right now, to varying degrees. On the list of things I might judge my fellow man for, that seems ludicrously privileged and self centered.
You don’t get to decide who is poor enough for it to be “OK” for them to buy the cheap tier. I mean, sure, you do get to have that opinion of course, but man I’m sorry I think you are really kind of a jerk to have this attitude.

It’s literally the reason the cover exists. To entice you to judge it positively and pick up the book for a closer look.
Whenever I hear anyone say that, I conclude it’s one of those things that somehow meant something slightly different when the phrase was coined. Either that or we’re all just a bunch of goobers.
- Comment on Netflix will show generative AI ads midway through streams in 2026 3 weeks ago:
So you’re angry that the poor are choosing the cheap option (🤔) because it helps the wealthy win? You’re righteously indignant because they ignored that “Doing without is an option” and decided to spend some entertainment dollars in a way of their own choosing?
Ok, but I don’t really find that very convincing.

Regardless, if he had someone in his life to guide him in any way, I can bet that’s not the approach he’d be taking. This kid landed here by neglect, I guarantee it.

I kinda feel like this is a sincere attempt to improve his chances, and while yes I see the creepiness, I feel a bit sad for him also.
Willing to bet a makeover would help him more than anything he puts on a shirt, and no one in his life to tell him that.

While that fight should continue, society has more mundane tools to ostracize & make people’s lives hell.

I’m not a defender of the concept of Qualified Immunity, my point is that it’s not an absolute shield. Even if it successfully shielded them from 100% of civil rights cases (which it objectively has not) it provides no protection from criminal charges.
I won’t argue against the idea that it covers them far more than can be rationally defended, I’m just saying it’s not an absolute shield, and (in my opinion) there is every reason to imagine that the specific group we are discussing here will routinely violate the rights of the people they detain in such an egregious fashion as to satisfy even that narrow range of criteria in a higher than you might expect number of civil cases once this is all said and done.

I’d settle for fair prosecution using the body of US law that existed up to the inauguration of Trump47.
- Comment on We'll have plenty of camps to have them sent to by then. 3 weeks ago:
Qualified immunity specifically does not apply in cases where someone’s clearly established civil rights were violated, though the criteria for that is specific. Further, it applies only to civil cases, not criminal cases. It may certainly help them in some instances, but it’s not going to be a blanket shield.
1 Was a constitutional right violated?
2 Was the right clearly established at the time of the alleged violation?
www.justia.com/…/qualified-immunity/
Under this doctrine, government agents—including but not limited to police officers—can never be sued for violating someone’s civil rights, unless they violated “clearly established law.” While this is an amorphous, malleable standard, it generally requires civil rights plaintiffs to show not just a clear legal rule, but a prior case with functionally identical facts.
In other words, it is entirely possible—and quite common—for courts to hold that government agents did violate someone’s rights, but that the victim has no legal remedy, simply because that precise sort of misconduct had not occurred in past cases.

While yes, IANAL, I’m exceptionally doubtful that clearly established constitutional rights aren’t being violated by the behaviors of ICE under Trump, in many, many circumstances.

Just so we’re clear, this isn’t Truth Social or X. Folks only engage with the bigots and racists here for fun. When it’s done being fun you just get blocked. If that’s an entertaining way for you to conduct yourself online, go right ahead.
