It cost me $80 dude idgaf

👍

Dude I just don’t care anymore leave me alone. Trolling isn’t a good look on you. Just piss off

i don’t use Google or social media other than Lemmy. You know nothing about me. Did you know I was gonna do that too Nostradamus?

Fuck off

If

👋

Nope it’s all yours. Clearly it’s very important to you.

Dude they increased their price for the first time in many years. Pay for it or don’t. This isn’t some ethics lesson, people are whining that a paid service they don’t use is charging more/putting features behind a (what I believe is reasonable) price. They’re advocating for Jellyfin and rejecting a corporation. Valid, go for it. But don’t make this something it isn’t. This is people going “haha stupid plex people look us doing real self hosting”

Do you even know what that word means?

Apparently that’s not ok for me to do because you won’t stop commenting and whining about my decisions using sloppy comparisons

I have plex pass. I will enjoy it so long as it does what I need. I have saved hundreds of dollars already with it as a result of having NO subscriptions. The math is simple.

When it stops working I’ll deal with it then. It’s not like my computer will self-destruct and all other options will be gone. I already have a Jellyfin server I use internally as it’s.

Got lifetime pass for $80-$90 over a year ago. No media subscriptions in my life. That also wasn’t directed at you specifically, there are just a lot of comments here really upset that anyone uses Plex.

You seem rather defensive. This is the second time you’ve come at me like this. You literally said you have Plex pass in the other comment, why are you playing dumb?

You can apply that to literally anything in life. People are so desperate to hate Plex they are making up theoretical situations. You should plan for your car to break down, you should plan for your house to burn down, you should plan to stub your toe today.

ITT:

Truly some of them are so insufferable - it’s as if none of them owns an iOS or Android device or pays for any subscription services.

If you’re not a professional than no it is highly unlikely you will run up against these issues. I was pretty clear about this in the many other comment chains I was involved in.

Still, millions of professionals use Photoshop, so that means there are millions of people that cannot use these alternatives.

Why pay for anything ever if it’s going to potentially get taken away?

I paid like $80 and have already gotten over a year out of it. I pay for literally no subscription media services. The math is clear and obvious on this one.

My wife and kids can access my server on any device without any fuss. Updates are trivial - I use a $100 beelink I update/check on maybe once a month. If you can’t see why this is an attractive situation for people I don’t know what to tell you

Do you change the oil in your car (if you have one) yourself or do you go to a shop? Have you ever gone out to dinner? Sometimes we pay for convenience. $80 is nothing for what I’m getting out and have gotten of Plex. I got tired of fucking around with Jellyfin and trying to get my wife and kids on it. I am pretty tech savvy but I had a lot of trouble getting it to consistently work outside of my home in a secure way. So I use Plex now with Jellyfin some internally.

Ok so you expect us all to listen to your lectures and operate under a standard you yourself don’t because you, as you put it, “are lazy” and are “chipping away at it.” Got it.

I also use Jellyfin chill dude

Turns out some of us make compromises and you’re just going to have to get over that.

You use no services that have some info on you? Not one subscription service? Not one social media account? Nothing Google or Apple or Microsoft?
