the only reason i didn’t delete my account is because i’m squatting a valuable handle. haven’t been there in years, what a shithole.

certainly it’s not difficult to understand that those aren’t the same people doing both, right? like, this is trivially easy to understand.

my jellyfin server continues to work if my internet is down. the choice is simple.

it becomes easier to understand when you look outside of your bubble for, like, a second.

if you want to try explaining to my eldery mother that lives 3000 miles away how to setup wireguard so she can access my jellyfin server on her smart tv, be my guest. oh you’ll just do it remotely? ok, explain to her how to install and setup vnc and forward the right ports so you can remote in, oh but she doesn’t want to watch on her laptop, she wants it on her tv. can’t vnc into that.

or you can say “install the plex app and i emailed you your login details.”

i’m a jellyfin user, but that’s why people continue to use plex.

anyone who is hopeful about xbox’s new leadership probably isn’t terribly aware of microsoft’s past. they’ve done this dance a million times. “we’re improving!” -> people believe it yet again -> surprise, they found a way to suck even more now.
