I am a huge asocial nerd that lives in a hovel surrounded by vintage computers.

Boring. I want the Kuro5hin site. That was actually good and hysterically funny at the best times. ASCII reenactment players of Michael Crawford anyone?

Did you just make up “hate” from an imaginary argument you made up? I am simply baffled by the behavior and “needs” of people these days. In what universe is limiting “remote streaming” a problem? How many hours a day do you need to be entertained for?
It’s more like I’m surrounded by compulsive hoarders and chronic upgraders, for what? You can’t watch any more movies than you have conscious free hours in a day. I don’t get it anymore.
Computers used to solve problems, now they are the problem.

Sorry, I didn’t read your reply, I was streaming every movie, album, book, and magazine in existence to every location in the universe at all times. Even when I blink I have 16K screens inside my eyelids.
This is normal behavior in 2025. If you cut off my terabit stream, I will writhe on the ground and scream.
I am not in any way addicted to digital hoarding or continuously upgrading systems that have already exceeded the capacity of any normal person to watch a movie since 20 years.

Said the needle to the arm. You’re all addicts.

Seems pretty simple to parse, what is causing you an issue? What is not clear?

Imagine being so addicted to having every nanosecond of your waking life filled with noise and colors that this announcement means anything.

I don’t have the addiction or condition that makes that compelling to me.
I can’t figure out why or how that is a need people have.

Can someone explain to me why you need anything more than directories filled with files to view content?
I’m struggling to understand why anybody would need or want something like Plex.
I want to watch a movie. I open explorer, go to the folder movies, select the movie, and double click the icon.
The end.
