Plex is more polished, but I love Jellyfin’s subtitle search; it blows Plex’s socks away.

Also, Jellyfin doesn’t nag me every effing time to enable DRM in Firefox for some unfathomable reason.

But Plex definitely wins on performance, IMO.

Take HomeAssistant for example: you’re free to use it self-hosted, but as soon as you want to expose it securely through the Internet, there’s need for infrastructure that has costs, both in materials and labor. In HomeAssistant’s case, it’s NabuCasa that does it, and costs money, and helps fund the work of HomeAssistant’s developers.

Having things free (libre) and open source is a blessing, but we have become used, entitled, even spoiled, to enjoy the work of very specialized people for free. That’s not always feasible.

Another example, Zabbix, is totally open source and free, they only charge for support and training if you ask for them. It has worked for them for many years, but if they start to struggle with funding, I’d understand if they charged for it.

It also assumes the masses behave rationally, which they won’t ever.

We’ll just get the cheapest shit with the limited information we are given, unless it is life-or-death, where we will pay any price out of fear.

What did GenP stood for?

We do what we must
because we can
For the good of all of us
Except the ones who are dead

I’ve always suspected these are attempts at stock manipulation. Release scary news, make the stock go down, buy, stock rebounds quickly as the scaremongering dissipates, sell.

The most mentally-challenged businessmen love pump and dump (and the reverse in this case) because it doesn’t require any talent whatsoever, just insider trading.

They have a brain as complex as ours, they’re social, and they’re believed to be really smart.

If they’re actually dumb, very dumb, I swear to god I will buy a single non-certified dolphin-free tuna can out of spite.

This is scandalous! We were supposed to get a different kind of fraud!

They even probably worked better than real AI, the shame!

Wow. Aren’t we Mexicans inventive?

Apple has teased with making the iPhone-as-a-service, meaning you lease it instead of owning it. The tariffs might give it the pretext it needed to go ahead with the idea, because the alternative would be sacrificing some of its abundant profit margins.

You joke, but Russia is a better replacement for China than Ukraine. The territory is bigger, which means more resources, and instead of giving them aid USA can buy raw material cheap because they need money.

At least that’s the strategy I’d expect from your current administration, since everything is laser-focused on very short term profit.

I would never had imagined that in my lifetime I’d see gringos reverse-smuggling game consoles from Mexico. I guess you could smuggle them from Canada too, but Mexico has always smuggled merch from USA. We even have a term for it: “fayuca”.

The lucky ones that live near the border can cross, shop switches 2 at non-orange prices, open them and smuggle the back as personal devices.

Guess they will start teaching vtubing in high school then.

TBH Apple is closed mainly because it makes them boatloads of money, not because of security. It could still be open and responsible.

Don’t blame him, they had that bias because we’re friends, and I would be perfect if not for my excessive modesty.

TBH Plex is years ahead on maturity, their dev team is excellent, unfortunately it seems like enshittification has begun for them.

Support Jellyfin not because it’s better, but because it’s open source and it puts users and tech first. Don’t expect it to beat Plex’s performance, quality, or cross-platform availability yet, but expect it to become better as more people donate or get involved.

Darth Vaders’s main power was not lightning, but telekinesis. I’d bet he would have a greater output spinning one (or more) industrial generators.

I don’t know how to handle either one without actually getting equipment to handle them.

I understood hardware equipment too. What kind of equipment did you mean?

To be fair, they want more regulation n others, not on them. Specially if they’re doing shady things.

Unregulated capitalism. That’s why people in dominant market positions want less regulation.
