  • It’s a hammer in search of nails. If you don’t want transcoding it simply doesn’t work. It’s nice that it exists and works for some people, but I despise ‘solutions’ that have no reason to exist except the devs needing an excuse to do thins they like. If jellyfin had a normal, regular, honest and simple option to just turn off transcoding I’d probably switch to it (even if the library scan process takes days instead of seconds). I don’t want to transcode anything ever, I use things in my lan, my devices can play all of the formats in my librabry - this is like archiving and unpacking every single file I move around on my pc.

    Now plex is not opensource freeware nice things - it does what I tell it to do. That’s about it







  • Wait was it privacy or was it having an intrusive “ai” bullshit thing? I can’t remember exactly Jokes aside, proton is not something we should look up to. Blender is a great example of a thing where various people contribute and somehow nobody needs to suck off facebook, the thing works and is getting better, usually listens to their community, there is no bullshit corporate structure and a ceo that needs his parachute gilded etc



  • This is one of those situations. People would eat sweet food if they didn’t know it’s bad for them. In fact they still eat shitloads while they do know it’s bad. Same goes for opiates, and there’s a reason why they are regulated in most of the world (the usa of course is fucked up with this). So yes, let’s boil the fucking oceans so dumb fucks don’t have to learn how to write a fucking email. Let’s say people have to learn what kinds of shit are included with “ai”, they have to learn how much it actually costs, what all of the nft cunts are now doing, and then say if they want something or not. I mean, this is all just fucking gaslighting by now, right? I don’t care what a fucking ignorant shit thinks about mostly anything - but this is a shitty company telling us ‘you want it so hard baby’ so it can pump that ai investor hose SO HARD
