They’re not hated. They’re very fragmented and confusing for the layman.

Mmmmm gross.

I’ll leave you with this, though. Shit like this is all goalposts. For now it’s just “their” content and not yours. But in 12 months it’s gonna be all content. And what excuse will you make for them, then?

And that makes a difference to you?

Seeing the replies in this thread it kinda makes me wonder what Plex actually has to do for these zealots to quit using their platform.

Like do they literally have to steal naked pictures of you and pass them around the office? Like wtf.

Chromecast. Regular is cheap, and grab the 4K one if you wanna stream higher quality movies. Cost you less than $100.

Israel is like that guy that’s super afraid of being seen as weak, so they pretend with all their might to be seen as an “alpha” just for it to be paper thin and for everyone to think they’re a weak person.

rclone.

DS223 is a fine little machine. Nothing exceptional, but not bad by any means.

That sucks, I immediately wanted it. :(

I try to explain this to the plex cultists and they usually have one of two responses;

1. “Why would I be without internet?”
2. “How is that helpful?”

Takes every ounce of willpower I have to not eye roll.

Escaping vendor lock-in. It’s why people hate the cloud when it used to be the answer for everything. You make a good product that can only be used with your hardware/software, whatever, and people run from that shit because it’s abused more often than not.

Apple is the biggest example of this. Synology is getting worse and worse. Plex not far behind either.

You got a nice guttural laugh outta me for that one.

I mean, it’s technical documentation. There’s a limit to how exciting it can be. lol.

If documentation is written in a readable and confluent way, RTFM isn’t such a big deal. The issue comes with overly draconian and non-confluent documentation.

Am I not allowed to tell people I like the beer I brew?

That’s not really what he’s doing though. It would be like if you pretended to be a customer and drink your own beer in front of actual customers and were like “WOW! This beer is super good! The guy who made it has a really big dick!”

It’s just shitty to do because it’s sheistery as fuck.

Plex employees totally have the right to review Plex in the store. But they should be expected to advertise that they work for Plex…because he didn’t the review loses any credibility that it had previously.

Hate to point it out, but it’s an entirely different scenario.

43 USC §364.e: With respect to geographic names the pertinent decisions and principles issued by the Secretary shall be standard for all material published by the Federal Government. The United States Board on Geographical Names in the Department of the Interior created by Executive order, is abolished, and the duties of said Board are transferred to the Board herein created, and all departments, bureaus, and agencies of the Federal Government shall refer all geographic names and problems to the said Board for the purpose of eliminating duplication of work, personnel, and authority.

We didn’t rename the Gulf, but the way its referenced from within the federal government (and its agencies) was changed by EO. Since Google is a government contractor, they’re contractually obligated (and legally obligated) to follow the nomenclature expressed by the US board on geographical names or they risk losing all of their government contracts.

So did we change the name of the Gulf? No. Is it shown different to US residence now? Yes. Google additionally released a statement saying;

“a longstanding practice of applying name changes when they have been updated in official government sources.”

Hurricane Electric gets my vote.

All the more reason to setup Adguard Home/Unbound.

Duct-tape that shit to the inside of your case. lol

I mean, twitter sucked when it first launched, too. Doesn’t mean it won’t get better.

Not sure why everyone is so hellbent on FOSS software to be in its most usable and polished state on launch but will buy prereleased and/or beta games and put in 10,000 hours into half finished games without batting an eye. The double standard for FOSS developers is insane to me.
