The only Russian shill spreading misinformation here is you, Ivan. Go back to Kamchatka.

Are these tankies in the room with us right now? Fuck the CCP, but we're talking about the west right now, stop trying to divert attention.

all decisions are handled by parlaiment

Who is backed by the undemocratic FPTP system, extremely pro-establishment press owned by capitalists waging open class war and a literal house of "lords" who have direct and legal legislative influence, not even lobbying. Imagine if Elon musk could reject legislation. Yeah, democratic af.

It's a ruse you fell for, nothing more.

who are actually a net possitive from tourism.

Myth. Many countries do not have geriatrics riding around on golden thrones amidst record food bank use while having far more tourism than the UK, and I mean western European nations, not typical global south tourist destinations.

You answered that yourself.

Question:

What streaming services is plex pushing?

Answer:

They offer integration for other services you subscribed to like Netflix or Disney and they also offer free, ad based services

Honestly thought it was just one service, not services, didn't know it was that bad. Yikes! Commercialisation strikes again.

Plus, there's the "Plex pass" as you mentioned. I'm sorry but I'm not buying some bullshit battlepass just to watch movies lol.

Convoluted

How are Jellyfin settings convoluted in the slightest? How is the UI convoluted? You keep saying it, but you can't give a single example so far. Can you mention at least one?

As for the settings they're all neatly split by categories and pretty straightforward, not that you have to use the settings much if at all tbh. Outside of "scan library" I don't think I've been in the settings once after setting up the automatic subtitles download plugin.

Jellyfin is a great example of how FOSSware just works, and doesn't stop working like the competing capitalist enshittificationware when it decides to rake it in.

It's alright boss happens to the best of us. Check out this, in images, step by step, on the android app, but it should be literally the very exact same for basically any client apart from Swiftfin.

I never said Plex is google-level enshittification, don't project words in my mouth. What is a fact though is that it is undergoing enshittification and that it's a buggy mess and video transcoding might work for you, but it's a well known source of pain for others. It could be better on Jellyfin too, but nowhere near as difficult to set up, even on weird/unsupported systems.

UI screams no designer

Idk what you're on about, not even LTT Linus pointed out any issues with the UI and he is no Linux CLI wizard.

If anything it's far simpler to use than Plex because it doesn't have the dark pattern bullshit into it.

You load the app, you hit movies or TV shows, hit your favourite movie or TV show and play. It's not complicated at all, no need to click past the various upsells and no need to buy battle passes just to watch a film.

The only thing this supposed absence of a "UI designer" seems to have brought is the absence of upsells and enshittification/dark patterns.

But that's the thing. To play the devil's advocate:

Should expect/demand better

Should they? Says who? Us - who to most people are - "weird computer people" for knowing how to navigate an excel spreadsheet?

We know it sucks. But they're entitled to think it's fine, especially since we've made so much noise about this for the past decade that it's hard to imagine anyone is uneducated still.

"Liberating" the masses in this manner seems like a crusade up the alley of Don Quixote.

I mean if the above things are what defines the west then yeah. But I don't think they do, or at least they don't have to - I believe we stand for better things than that - for liberty, for democracy and welfare of all and I believe in progress, not complacency and decay thinly veiled by whataboutism.

EDIT: The user above clearly manipulated vote counts. All his comments get an extra 8-12 upvotes, everything that disagrees with him has an extra 8-12 downvotes. Blocked and reported.

That sounds awful. My condolences.

FYI the word you're looking for is guarantour.

In Sweden yes, maybe, idk, not Swedish. In Europe no, we have heard of renters' rights, but as a renter I can tell you we have practically none.

Literally who is downvoting you? Are there landlords on fucking solarpunk memes?

Right click the entry and hit identify and type in the IMDb number into the appropriate field and apply. That should give you a list of options to pick from, click the right one and it should be hunky dory. or click edit metadata and edit it in manually if you wish.

Yeah that's well put. All this advocacy for adblockers and not accepting the awful state of things fall on deaf ears, most people don't care, they accept the state of things as it is, and technology as magic.
