  • The conversion is not the biggest issue. For my dad or Grandmother to stream my content, Plex as a streaming app is something they can easily understand and digest (though Plex’s new streaming app has done quite a bit to undo that -_-). I have the subscription, I acquire the content, I choose who to share it with. Now they need a subscription, too? Where’s the value? Why wouldn’t they just pay for a streaming service at that point? I’m using my hardware and doing all the work and they are paying Plex? And if I accepted payment for the same thing it would be a crime! BUT I’m not sure I’m comfortable opening Jellyfin to the internet, even behind nginx, and I don’t want to have to spend time setting things up for them or troubleshooting their issues w/ Jellyfin. I put enough labor into this thing already.

    So yes obviously everyone should switch to the FOSS option, but in reality it’s not that simple because the services aren’t 1:1.










  • "TikTok took down my 8-second video featuring an image of Debbie Brockman — the news producer just detained by CBP agents — saying it violates the “joy of TikTok” "

    The violation notice from tiktok:

    “Part of the joy of TikTok is coming across new and unexpected content. But the platform is not a place to intentionally shock, upset, or disgust others. We recognize this type of content may be triggering, cause psychological harm, or lead to extreme discomfort.”

    No surprises here, Tiktok has long been a tool of fascism.
