  • Plex has a few more features with plex pass.

    However I switched to jellyfin a few years ago because I found everything to be too limiting and dependent on them. Including the necessity to pay for codecs / playback on some of their mobile apps.

    Jellyfin is a lot less polished, but it works well and you’re in control of everything.

    I would recommend trying out jellyfin first. If you encounter some deal breaking issue or aren’t happy with it, check our plex.





  • Yeah what the hell is going on?

    There was a lawsuit and in Windows 7 Microsoft was forced to offer a browser choice program that allowed users to pick different ones.

    Nowadays everyone just forgot about that?
    Browser lock in is worse than it ever has been since the 2000s and is approaching levels of monopolistic behavior we haven’t seen since the internet explorer vs Netscape debacle, if not already worse than that.

    Every ecosystem forces their own browser and the only way to circumvent it is with hacks.

    To access certain one drive elements on android in the browser with Firefox, it tells you to open the page in chrome to proceed. If you do that, the Microsoft login page then asks specifically for using edge to sign in.

    It’s insane that nobody cares. I went back to Firefox as soon as manifest v3 was announced, but nobody cares.

    It’s alarming and once people realize what happened it’s too late.
