why stop there?

do it to meta, twitter, amazon, etc

do I seem burnt out?

hey, real talk. if the users weren’t so obnoxious maybe the admins wouldn’t be burnt-the-fuck-out…

Because the EU at least remotely cares about it’s citizens.

don’t get over ambitious. EU is challenging all Western tech because they see the dangers of it running unopposed within the US government.

don’t believe for a minute that any government has your interests in mind when they create policy. you only have the illusion of support when your interests and the government interests align.

well, I don’t have anything to hide. Do you?

edit: because the sarcasm was lost on some, I am not advocating for this message.

I am mocking it.

cool. now I can lose even more data when it dies.

no thanks…

typically the phone home is looking for a response to unlock.

use a packet sniffer to see what the request/response is and replicate it with a proxy or response server.

this is also know as a man-in-the-middle (mitm).

takes skill and knowledge to do, but once you do a few dozen it’s pretty easy since most software “phone homes” are looking for static non-encrypted responses.

tbh anyone who’s willing to degrade themselves for a job like that isn’t going to have the same work ethic of someone who refuses to debase themselves to the whims of a micromanaging employer.

if you think you’re in that group, I’m happy to let you work for a shitty company while I go work somewhere that at least pretends like my contributions matter to the field.

I may be selling my soul to a company that secretly doesn’t care if I live or die but at least I can sleep at night with the belief that my contributions matter to someone within the company.

unlike at these shithole companies that don’t even care enough about their culture or other employees quality enough to put the effort out to find the best candidate for the role.

it does if you make it work in those conditions.

software that “phones home” is easy to fool.

everything is unmonitored if you don’t connect to the network.

fucking tomcat and jboss…🤮

haiyaaa…that explains it.

I have never had a smart TV worth a damn.

why you gotta bring reason and logic to this jellyfin orgy?

sounds like a poorly optimized system tbh. My Plex instance loads within a few seconds. on roku, android, and web.

keep in mind I’m using nginx caching and some advanced configs.

how dare you bring facts to this community! we just want to shit on anything but jellyfin!

I’ve never seen Plex users argue in support of Plex. only comments along the lines of, “I use it because…”

the jellyfin users are generally the ones getting bent or upset because people still use Plex for their own personal reasons. they then accuse the Plex users of not contributing to jellyfin because they still use Plex. “if only you used jellyfin, xyz feature would be magically finished because you are a part of the community!”

point is, the only people arguing here are jellyfin users. Plex users are gonna Plex.

the printing press didn’t unlawfully steal content and print exabytes of shit-streaked garbage.

the printing press expanded the potential for knowledge to be shared at a higher volume and speed due to the nature of mass printing.

it was more akin to multi-core hyperthreading than AI.

I think what you mean is that AI is like the discovery of distribution of electricity. the story of where a self-educated immigrant attempted to sell his method of distribution that was safer and more pragmatic, was slandered and tormented by a tech oligarch that had no qualms with electrocuting elephants in public. oh and not to mention Thomas Edison didn’t even “invent” AC power, he stamped his name on it and falsely claimed he did. sounds like some other tech bro we know today…

this is the problem with you “AI bros”, you can’t even provide a valid argument because your brain has turned to dog shit from using AI 100% of the time.
