https://www.plex.tv/about/privacy-legal/wrote last edited by [email protected]Force PlexPass first, get money, then change terms.
Coordinated big-brain evil.
Big plus - identify all accounts interested in privacy. Thus = suspicious accounts.
This is the path for Plex to become Digg, Playon, and reddit.

It’s an email address, it doesn’t matter lol
Just say you don't care about privacy and having all your data out there for anyone to do anything they want with.

Yeah great perspective. I think we all need to have this perspective more as many tech companies will randomly change their minds on their products.
Kind of like how I got free photo backup on my first two pixels. It was a nice feature, I'm sad it's gone, but it's fine.
Did they really kill off free photo backup? That's so incredibly shitty, they even compressed them!

they only have to type a full URL once or twice in their lifetime.
We know very different sort of people. Remember that older people wrote the full address as the default, bookmarks and especially googling everything (and "apps") only became the default later on.
Yeah, but the proportion of people who used computers during that time is much smaller than the generations after, meaning they only represent a very small minority of non-technical computer users.
Not to mention that my country lagged behind in terms of computer adoption during the 90's and 00's compared to developed nations, so it is even less likely for you to find that category of people around me.

No rain here.

What TV is that? I have an LG OLED TV from 2019 running WebOS, so that's the version of Plex I am using.
My Plex library loads instantly on my phone and on the web.
I have a Philipps OLED TV from 2019, with Android 9 or smth. But WebOS is a different beast.

You can hide libraries on jellyfin.
Just create a family user and a porn user and login how you please.
Sweet Jesus thank you!
-
It specifically mentions email addresses (used for account creation I assume) and what content is being watched, which a VPN wouldn't do anything for.
What if its all tied to a seedbox, would that matter?
-
lmao.
Yes! How can I use this with my seedbox? Just FTP to my computer and use the stashapp from there?

Or...If feeling a little bit paranoid, run a second copy of Jellyfin. That's what I do. Works well for me.
-
It's interesting to see the different kind of comments here and on Redshit.
Here, people are smart and they are switching to Jellyfin. On Redshit, if people mention Jellyfin in a comment they get downvoted right away.
I think it was maybe last week or the week before there was a thread about plex enshitification and I recall a lot of downvotes to folks praising/recommending jellyfin over plex.
-
I might actually have to switch to Jellyfin then...
I say that as a paying plex pass customer
I find it wild that you still seem unsure. What would make you say "Thats it, im switching!"?

It’s all fake and manipulated there anyway.

Damn it damn it damn it!! I can't use Jellyfin because...its what I watch all my porn on. Plex was used for all the family stuff. Mother fuckers! Greed is a bitch.
Edit: Wait..what if we are using a VPN...shouldnt we be good then?Docker and tailscale you can run multiple instances

My suggestion: Get Symphonium in addition/to replace Finamp.
Much more advanced in what it can do.
Only downside: You can't exclude libraries. If you have a soundtrack-like library separate from the regular music library, it can't be separated.Thanks for the suggestion. I will try it!
Is it good with gapless playback? It isn’t as crucial for me as for some people who listen to live recordings etc, but it’s always nice to have and is a good sign for the quality of the player.
