Cool, now they can correct the “mistake” made regarding Army Maj. Gen. Charles C. Rogers …

Yes, that’s great for me and mine, but not for others. I don’t like to support or platform/promote applications that require a subscription for any access at all.

The problem is Plex aren’t Netflix in my usecase. I’m sharing my library with my friends.

Now if they’d like to charge for the content they host. Great more power to 'em, but I feel icky with a payment or subscription model that charges to deliver my collection to my friends and family.

So, like I said. I’ll likely start migrating to jellyfin and start the conversation with people in how to get the jellyfin app on whatever device they have.

Fuck your pipeline

Also. there were demonstrations against DAP in 2008 way before Greenpeace got there.

A lot of flatpaks early on wouldn’t survive a major point release upgrade or worst case would hold on to dependencies and the user would end up with an unbootable mess after an upgrade.

I haven’t seen that recently though.

However I regularly run appimages on my fedora silverblue system so take what I say with a grain of salt.

IMPORTANT NOTE FOR CURRENT PLEX PASS HOLDERS: For users who have an active Plex Pass subscription, remote playback will continue to be available to you without interruption from any Plex Media Server, after these changes go into effect. When running your own Plex Media Server as a subscriber, other users to whom you have granted access can also stream from the server (whether local or remote), without ANY additional charge—not even a mobile activation fee. More on that later in this update.

I guess that’s something.

Gonna be a long slow explanation to my family and friends how to switch to jellyfin. Hopefully there’s an app ecosystem there as well. I was lucky to get a lifetime pass way back in 2009 when I did some work for them. It’s very different now.

Fedora based actually

Install using the debian net installer. Only add a GUI/Desktop Environment through command line and apt. Don’t use tasksel.

Do this on a laptop that’s not mission critical. Barring that, use Tails on a USB drive

Plex/jellyfin

If I could do it all over I’d pick jellyfin however plex is on more devices and easier for people to setup…for now.

However you may also be interested in the arr stack. For reasons.

My sentiments exactly. Been an increasing problem over there since 2016 that I noticed but I’m sure there was this bullshittery there before and I just wasn’t in the subreddits where it festered.

Glad to hear it. Hopefully you have a long tenure there and the company grows at a sustainable rate. You’re in like 1% of the market.

You deserve to be there or they wouldn’t have hired you. You work with smart people who know their shit. They wouldn’t have you there if you didn’t contribute.

However remember that as soon as it starts to get bad jump ship or form a union. You only matter until that tiny company gets bought up by another larger company…like Amazon.

With the impending financial crisis expect there to be a lot of “consolidation” in the market.

Great way to get rid of rotting inventory and recoup costs through insurance.

CHEF MIKE!

Likely as not Chinese companies will profit through shell corporations and NGOs rebuilding Russia and Ukraine. The US could’ve but they dismantled USAID and are actively courting Russian interests in the region.
