humans can do FAR more complex work than robots can

Surely that’s very situational? Some cases have robots doing work that a human couldn’t possibly do whatsoever.

I would agree, but I wouldn’t say they are killing the project. 👍

Is “kill” a strong word here? They are heavily restricting it, and it’s reversible with some effort, know-how, and compromise, right?

But killing it, I feel like they are not. Even though I strongly oppose what they are doing, don’t get me wrong!

Your first sentence is 100% incorrect assumption. :P

I have used Plex for over a decade, and I’m now fulltime on Jellyfin.

Plex works trash on my TV (LG from 2019). Jellyfin with the exact same library just flies. The performance is just god awful while browsing your library.

• startup takes minutes
• moving between posters takes seconds
• searching is not debounced between key presses so searching takes ages
• Plex on my TV cannot seem to play different audio/language tracks correctly. I select my preferred language, I explicitly select language, I set it to default in the container, nothing. It just plays English no matter what. Trash.
• The developers don’t care about their users. These issues have been reported for a literal DECADE, and they responded years ago but have since ignored them. I reported it more recently, have been ignored for years now, despite keeping the thread alive from auto-closing.

Fuck Plex, they don’t care, I don’t care. Hail Jellyfin, it does all Plex could do and more, that I needed. Performance is great. It handles multiple language tracks.

The only thing Plex did better was duplicate merging. 👍 Not worth it though. Strictly unusable on my TV in general.

How can you be toxic without communication? What happened?

Count me in on the minimalist interface preference gang. I’ve been using it for probably more than a decade. Less nowadays that I watch content on my TV through my media center server, but on the off occurrence that I need to watch a file on my computer, mpv is my boo.

I like shorts. I say this again and again: Curate your shorts by liking and subscribing. Press “don’t recommend this channel” for shit you don’t want to see.

Hone your algorithm. 👍

Alright, good enough.

“Being secure” doesn’t seem to be the primary function of a “UEFI shim”, so no? 🤷‍♂️

IMO, broken ≠ vulnerable. Broken to me means it doesn’t work. There’s a difference, to me. 🤷‍♂️

What, why?
