OK you’re not a lefty, you just use all their favourite terms, make all the same arguments for why the things you want to buy should be cheaper, and jump straight to the sane old insults as quickly as leftists do.

If it quacks like a duck and all that…

Generally the people that throw around the term “bootlicker” in situations like this, who feel entitled to others work for free or process they choose, are leftists.

Bootlicker, another term so misused by the left that it now means nothing.

I don’t think the switch 2 emulation scene is going to go anywhere after what Nintendo did to the yuzu devs. Not to mention that now any emulation would have to try and emulate the cuda cores, which has never been a thing in consoles before.

Just save your pocket money for a few years, maybe ask your parents what other little jobs you can do to earn a bit extra, and you’ll get a switch 2 eventually.

You’re the one that seems mad. I understand that not being able to afford something doesn’t mean that there is “price gouging” going on. I understand that I’m not entitled to everything I want being affordable to me with pocket change.

Once more but in English please?

No one is being price gouged by Nintendo. It’s a luxury technology device. Gaming is more for adults than kids these days, and had been for a long time. The average age of gamers has been increasing for decades and is around 30 years old.

It sounds like OP is charging users to stream from his server, that’s why he freaked out.

I just saw you guys did your first iOS app update in 3 years, and first Xbox app update in 5 years, congrats!

Now what was that I was saying about being left behind again?

Heaven forbid people take any personal responsibility.

So if you answer a question wrong on a test you didn’t complete the test?

If you’ve signed in to a MS account you have your bitlocker encryption key and won’t lose any data.

and forced obsolescence refers to Win11 blocking everything prior to Zen+ and Coffee Lake

Because Win11 uses features that that hardware doesn’t have. Win10 is still there and still works. You can’t stop progress forever.

and not all people are comfortable with having to sign up for an online account just to install their OS and would rather make a local account if possible;

Sure, but most are fine with it especially with the benefits it brings. For older people it’s an absolute godsend, as all their files are automatically backed up to onedrive and accessible on any computer.

Also, I didn’t know local backups of your data ala simply copying it to an external drive at the minimum, weren’t an option that existed anymore. sarcasm

What are you talking about?

Step 5, recover password?

That’s what the online MS account is for - your BitLocker encryption key is stored on your account that you can access from any web browser.

It’s rather difficult to get people who are willing to lie and commit fraud for you.

X.

If anything they’re more empowered here if they lean the right way politically (which is a hard left), because the mods are even more militant in their banning due to wrongthink here.

The task was to tell you the difference. It told you the difference, it was just wrong about the differences. Giving an incorrect answer to a task is still doing the task.

Citation needed.

No citation needed. They’ll either do it one day or the software will languish behind in obscurity.

Anyway, what’s wrong with being left behind?

Nothing I guess, other than the competition getting further and further ahead and your users leaving for them.

We’re not in a race, so I don’t understand how we could get left behind.

You definitely are. JellyFin doesn’t exist in a vaccuum. You might not feel like its competition, but the jellyfin software competes with all the other media streaming software out there.

I always see this and I have to ask: why do you care?

Because OP is scared of losing their users because of their incorrect thinking that Plex was requiring them all to buy a remote streaming pass, so clearly OPs goal is to not lose their users, right?

OP asked, we’re answering. That’s kinda the whole point of this thing called Lemmy. We don’t care per se, we’re just telling OP our opinions and thoughts on their questions and proposed solutions.

Have to agree with the other comment that asks why do you need to use a vpn. Fax

If you don’t use a VPN you’re putting yourself at risk. There’s no real way around it with Jellyfin, as others have said.

I find it hard to believe that there are bots scanning for jellyfin exploits

You are very, very naive and uneducated on what bad actors do on the internet then. Basically any popular service that exposes a port to the internet WILL have bots scanning for that port specifically.

Literally nothing changes for me, the plex server host, or any of the people streaming from my server though. Nothing at all. Nothing is ruined, nothing has started to be ruined. I don’t have to pay any more money, none of my friends and family have to pay any money.

And no, jellyfin won’t do anything like this because they don’t have control over how you use it and don’t force their cloud on you.

Until Jellyfin no longer maintain it and change to a closed source product that they want to make money from.

Plex’s own “cloud” that they “force” on you is part of what makes Plex the success that it is, and it costs them money to maintain.
