“Big Island Video News” sounds like an onion news channel.

At long last, we have created the Torment Nexus…

Discord-compatible (Use all your custom clients/bots with minimal changes)

I was excited at first, because I thought I could still chat with friends who won’t leave Discord.

Thanks for the archive link.

Ah, homework.

The #1 method for persuading the kiddos.

100% they should. Live your dream, Science Team.

I am beginning to remember what made me think Jellyfin wasn’t user friendly.

Maybe it wasn’t the user interface after all.

Tl;dr:

• PhotoPrism: Local AI with strong privacy but heavier setup.
• LibrePhotos: Same, but less polished, more community-built.
• Immich: Best self-hosted Google Photos alternative.
• Ente Photos: E2E encrypted, low-maintenance, most “plug and play”

Yep. What’s considered intuitive UI changes depending on what you’re used to.

It’s why Google fought so hard to put Chromebooks in American classrooms.

I believe you. I feel that way about iTunes (trauma intensifies).

But Jellyfin doesn’t have that reputation.

We still have those?

I thought they all went into tech*.

I set up Plex on my mum’s TV and she can just push play. The UI is intuitive (read: familiar) to her.

Jellyfin has a reputation for giving users more control and customizability, but the other side of that coin is that it’s more “fiddly”.

My users don’t want to fiddle.

So Plex has downgraded to [insert the word below feature parity] with Jellyfin.

I read that. (I literally mentioned features not being paywalled in the original comment.)

If the key doesn’t unlock features, what does it unlock?

Do you get a little thank you message from the devs when you enter it in? Does it add a “Supporter” tag next to your name on the app settings?

The practice exists in both software and games of adding paid cosmetics (e.g. Discord or Deep Rock Galactic) that don’t change the core featureset but allow users to pay more to support the developers, so I think it’s a valid question.

If you’re not concerned about them starting to require that you use Synology-branded hard drives, then :

For most Synology services/apps, we do not collect data on what you store or what you do with your files. We generally only collect statistical data on what packages are installed and which functionality is used. This helps us keep track of what features are important or popular. Purely statistical data is not linked to your account and does not include Personal Identifiable Information (PII). (Source: the other forum)

What does the $100 server key unlock (besides “supporter status”), since features aren’t paywalled?

I got a completely different More Like This from you.

Is your algorithm trying to tell you something?

They’re not asking whether it’s literally true.

They’re asking why it feels like there’s less.

That’s a subjective, but still valid question.

This is concrete, thanks. I can work with this.

The arguments the article gives are way to broad to fly around a Thanksgiving table.

They might as well have titled it:

“Ways to convince people to take online privacy seriously (who are already on the fence and leaning so hard in your direction that a stiff breeze would do the job for you)”

Or buy this version and then upgrade the storage yourself.
