As I said, I don’t think it’s worth it. And that’s OK – we can disagree.

Remote access is the single area where Plex is better. Even then, it’s not that you can’t do it with Jellyfin; it’s just harder to set up.

Everything about Jellyfin is free. This includes hardware transcoding, which is subscription based on Plex.

The Jellyfin apps are also much better than they used to be. I’d say easily on par with Plex now (the native Jellyfin client and the music app, finamp).

To me, it seems like a really hard sell when Jellyfin effectively does everything that the paid service does for free.

That’s the arguably part. The argument.

+1 for heliboard.

GBoard has good recognition, but I’d rather my keyboard didn’t just siphon off whatever I type.

Psh, even I could do that!

Heads to Claude Code…

It’s so weird though. Do they not know it exists? Do they expect their customers not to know it exists?

When your primary competition is free (and arguably better), the last thing one should think to do is raise prices.

I can only assume that some C-suites are looking at numbers and don’t know what else to do but make the product more expensive.

This. The GOP has wanted to privatize USPS forever. They keep it barely functioning so they can point at it and claim that only private industry can save it. Then they bring in their friends and throw those sweet taxpayer dollars into their own coffers.

Amazon’s role isn’t surprising here, either. Bezos couldn’t get closer to the Trump admin if he were sleeping in Melania’s bed.

Expect similar moves to be taken towards privatization of ATC in the US. Thankfully it’s much more heavily regulated, so it has at least taken more time and is harder to choke as quickly.

This is amazing! Thanks for putting it together. Looking forward to exploring.

A fantastic summary.

Addendum to #2: to add insult to injury, a lot of the training data in AI models was used without consent. That means that the output of skilled people was stolen from them in order to train systems designed to steal from them again.

There are simply a lot fewer people on Lemmy. That’s to be expected.

I will say that the quality of conversation tends to be a bit higher on Lemmy. YMMV though.

I feel a lot less of the hive-mind effect on Lemmy versus Reddit. Not sure why that is.

This is Sony, folks. Once they get in a mood to hang onto something needlessly, they do it.

The last Betamax cassette was manufactured in 2016.

I’m quite new here but it seems to be a pretty good instance. Thanks!
