It failed the spouse test when I last tried last year

Ig they’re rolling it out in waves, they decided to overhaul their app UI…for the worse IMO

Here’s a comment I wrote on it about a year ago

Tldr; they are an early example of open source enshittification before enshittification was even coined (iirc)

This is going to go back quite a ways, and much of my knowledge is old at this point so some details might be off.

~15 years ago Plex as we know it started out as an OSX fork of the 0G Xbox homebrew software XBMC (Later renamed Kodi (For those who don’t know, XBMC was XBox Media Center and would turn the 0g Xbox into the cheapest Home Theater PC you could get at the time, man those were the days lol))

Plex was only briefly open source and then was quickly closed when they incorporated a year or so after they had something functional. They never made any promises about not charging or being open source or anything, so that’s why I’m generally fine with Plex

Sometime around 2012ish Emby came along as THE open source alternative to Plex and things were good. MOST of it was supposed to stay open source as was promised. From the beginning they kept build scripts n such closed source, probably should have caught on them, but heh ya know hindsight and all that.

Then around 2014/5 they took it all closed source, relicensed it and introduced their paywall including locking away already existing features. This is what pissed me and many others off and this is when and why Jellyfin split off promising to be truly fully open source forever. (There was a ton of drama about it at the time, but it looks like Embys Q&A thing a bit back doesn’t even bother to mention it, imagine that lol)

I don’t have a problem with subscriptions on open source software myself, but the way they went about it…yea. fuck em

Am I doing this right

Well if you ask me, not really, I disavowed emby years ago and afaic its just Plex and Jellyfin in this space to me

They like completely overhauled the UI lol

I think this chart might be a bit dated, I’m fairly certain Disney has taken full control of Hulu, not 67%

Jellyfin, unfortunately failed the spouse test when I last tried last year.

Besides, I don’t think for this particular case it would help much, they both pull their data from the same places iirc

I hope there’s not any XP waste

Cracks fingers

Time to start logging into my Xitter, ND and FB alts again LMAO

Lemmy has this problem too, its why many think .ml has all these huge comms, but thankfully by MAUs, only like Linux and Privacy are top

(What’s the problem with Lemmy.ml?)

Going into a recession to own the libs!

I mean yea, did anyone think they wouldn’t?

Ah gotcha, I wasn’t sure because my surface feels so…weird (it doesn’t feel or look like glass or ceramic) so I wasn’t sure if the “magic” was in that or just the way induction worked

Which brand was this? On mine, which is a Samsung (so if any brand was going to poorly design it, it’d be them lmao) I have had no issues simmering

I got one last year, replaced a shitty old school electric coil one.

Similarly, I was kinda skeptical, but in my mind I reasoned it can’t be possibly worse than the shit electric one I had at the time and I’m not going to pay to have a gas line installed sooo I went with it.

It’s the best fucking stove I’ve ever cooked on in my life. By a LONG shot.

I can watch a pot of water boil
Oil is up to temp faster than you can turn around and grab your meat and seasonings
Almost-magic fast temp adjustments

The best part? You know those black burned on crud spots(that are most prevalent on glass tops) that you have to scrape off? Non existent. Idk if its unique to Samsung, but it’s surface is fucking dead easy to clean, it never got the burned on crap after a year when I’ve had new stoves in the past develop it in a matter of weeks

The Guberment is LYING to you, it’s the radioactive that gives you super powers!

The original comment reply to you was all about how the legal system would act, that’s the primary concern. All it would take is a Trump loyalist judge, a Trump leaning appeals court and the right-wing Supreme Court and boom suddenly the CFAA covers a whole lot more than what was “logical”

Not a bad idea, or a mass register of all certified kid friendly domains regardless of TLD that such filtering software can freely pull from

Please instruct me on how I go to the timeline where the legal system always makes decisions based on logic, reasoning, evidence and fairness and not…the opposite…of all those things

You have a lot of trust placed in the courts to actually do the right thing

You say, just as news breaks that the top German court has over turned a decision that declared “AD blocking isn’t piracy”
