If you have Plex pass, this does not effect anyone using your server.

It’s still a shit asshole move by them, but at least it isn’t catastrophic. Hopefully by the time Plex starts to suck jellyfin will not blow chunks.

Because comparitively, jellyfin sucks.

Once they reach some semblance of feature parity, then you can in good faith ask this question.

If you have Plex pass (honestly, get the lifetime, it’s worth it, jellyfin is pretty shit compared to Plex) it will not effect users of your server.

As long as you have Plex pass it’s all good and nothing changes. That said, this was exactly my reaction. Plex expends exactly zero fucking resources for my server, so wtf is this shit supposed to mean?

This headline is misleading. If the owner of the server has Plex pass than the users can use remote streaming as normal. If the owner does not have Plex pass, then the users need Plex pass to use that server remotely

Imo a stupid move by Plex, but as a lifetime Plex pass holder, no one that uses mine will have to worry so I’m relatively unbothered.

The gracefulness of how the point flew right over your head was breathtaking

It’s a long road and it’s tough, but you can do it!

Then why did you open your big mouth? No one fucking cares.

Ffs. People like you are absolutely exhausting.

There is no reason that a fediverse client has to be free or open source. It just so happens that connect is excellent and is free.

It is free. The developer is here. Maybe you should stop being a curmudgeon about everything.

Purity testing is idiotic.

Connect for Lemmy is the goat

If you want something that actually functions well, use Plex. Jellyfin isn’t anywhere close to feature parody with Plex.

Jellyfin will have you tearing your hair out when you meet its limitations, whereas Plex pretty much just works out of the box.

Fwiw, chatgpt gave me a full historical account of the incident., after some prodding, so did deepseek local.

Deepseek local is easy to remove the guardrails though.

Go to the download page on Microsoft’s site, change users agent to macos or iOS and safari and you can download the ISO directly.

If you are upgrading from 10 you can just mount the ISO and run the setup file. If you need to make a bootable USB use Rufus.

DISCONNECT FROM THE INTERNET AND DO NOT CONNECT UNTIL YOU ARE ON THE DESKTOP LOGGED INTO A LOCAL ACCOUNT

For local account creation, when oobe setup starts hit shift f10 and in the cmd prompt type oobe\bypassnro and press enter. When it prompts for a network connection choose I don’t have internet.

This is very good. The apps need to be able to do on the fly conversion for hevc/heic though, especially on iOS.

To my knowledge, none of the Android apps can do it yet.

No more instance based communities. Instead instances are assigned to groups of servers for redundancy and you end up with a more centralized experience.

Essentially you end up with a server cluster.

Regarding the fediverse at large…

I believe that this is a design issue. Instances are designed so that they function like categories. That categories then have subcategories.

The issue is that with user distribution, you can’t then just assign users round robin distribute the load. This leads to what we now have which is very confusing to the end user.

Users was a centralized experience. The duplication of communities is a prime example of the bad design.

In the abstract, I would consider putting all instances in a pool. Each instance runs a different community, with servers also duplicating x number of communities for the sake of redundancy (instance goes offline, content still exists on another server). It’s complicated, and has it’s own issues/flaws, but I believe that from a high level view, it is a better design in general.

The current system is just a mess unfortunately.

Perhaps there could be a hybrid of these two approaches that would be superior.

My back of the napkin design prioritizes user experience and ease of use. That said, I can immediately think of a few downsides.
