Google and others used Reddit data to train their LLMs. That’s all you need to know about how accurate it will be.
That’s not to say it’s not useful, but you need to know how to use it and understand that you need to only use it as a tool to help, not to take it as correct.
I can’t believe this Is the supposed high level of discourse on lemmy
Lemmy users and AI have a lot of things in common, like being confidently incorrect and making things up to further their point. AI at least agrees and apologises when you point out that it’s wrong, it doesn’t double down and cry to the mods to get you banned.
AI doesn’t lie, it just gets things wrong but presents them as correct with confidence - like most people.
So AI is just like most people. Holy cow did we achieve computer sentience?!
How are these people losing access to their MS accounts on their computers?
Jellyfin isn’t yet. It will if they ever want to actually compete and make a living from it.
It’d fit the privilege of using someone else’s software.
I really don’t give a shit if a corporation needs more revenue to satisfy their infinite growthTM.
Oh so they don’t deserve to be paid for their work, the only reason they’d be after money is for “infinite growthTM”?
What’s not fine is taking something away people used to get for free
I agree that’s never good, but what’s the alternative? Go out of business? Insert ads into your streaming of local content? Another way rip look at it is that they’ve been giving away their product for free due the last 10+ years that they should have been charging for.
I mention JellyFin because at some stage it will become a business and they’ll start charging too, or it will get left behind because it’s free. People can fork all they want, but businesses that provide services can’t do so for free for eternity.
Is there even anyone that runs a plex server who doesn’t have a lifetime plex pass these days? I’ve had one for 10+ years at this stage. I bought it to support the devs as they made this amazing software that I’ve used for probably hundreds of thousands of hours of streaming from my server. I paid like $100. I pay less than that much in 1 month to my ISP.
IMO it’s a fair change, because the product has always been worthy of being a paid product.
People are free to go elsewhere, but they’ll quickly realize that the one off plex pass price is cheap for what you get.
Nah. How would you get Uncle Bob to use tailscale on his PS5 to watch Jellyfin, for example?
“Shitty move by a corporation”? You mean requiring the person that’s using their flagship all encompassing flagship software product to pay a one off fee? A one off fee that seemingly most people who host a Plex server already bought?
Software costs money to make and maintain. You’re not entitled to it for free. Plex’s software is legitimately great and is the only software on the market that does what it does and makes it as easy as it is.
and evidently has no costs associated to the corp
As has been pointed out many times in here, this is wrong. Plex have hardware that is used when many, probably most, people stream remotely. Also developers cost money to employ. Developers make the software that is regularly updated. They deserve to be paid, don’t they?
It is pretty damn obvious how this will continue.
So you agree the same thing will happen to JellyFin then, right? So why even bother getting Jellyfin set up now when it will inevitably happen there too?
No Jellyfin app on AppleTV or PS5.
Insert virus on your server.
My next NAS might not be by Synology due to their recent announcement about supported hard drives,
Just on this - this was widely misrepresented just like this plex announcement is. Just so you are aware of the actual truth - the new + Synology NAS’s do not require Synology branded drives. They will still accept and work with all drives including WD, Iron Wolf, Seagate, etc.
All that is changing is that only the Synology branded drives will get some of the “smart health” monitoring features and easy firmware updating (of the hdd). Nothing else is changing. You will still be able to buy all of the new Synology devices and plug in whatever HDDs you want and they’ll work fine.
If the host is on a VPN then you need access to that VPN to be able to access Plex.
Set up Bazarr.
Yeah a VPN isn’t “necessary”, but it’s the most straightforward way. Unfortunately it’s not really at all feasible for many people who currently play from other peoples plex libraries.
The closest thing to justification I can figure is “all my clients are borderline illiterate as well and it upset them”.
And now OP is saying that he’s switching to Jellfin and thinks that all of his borderline illiterate “clients” will be ok with using a VPN to access Jellyfin, if their device even has Jellyfin lol.
Also the way that OP says “users” and “clients” makes it pretty clear that he is charging people for access to his library. He is ok with making money off Plex’s work, but hates the idea of Plex making money.
If they can’t do anything better than jellyfin which is fully free open source I don’t see why they should expect money.
Plex is much better than jellyfin, especially for the exact thing this whole outrage is about - remote streaming.
This mindset is bizarre.
“Everyone should get out now because at some stage in the future Plex might get greedy and ruin it all and charge us through the nose. Move to Jellyfin! They’ll definitely never ever do anything like Plex.”
I think you know where this is heading…
I paid $100 to play Forza Horizon on my own device too - should that have been free?
That no other solution exists that is as easy and secure as Plex? That’s not just absurd, but profoundly absurd? What other solution is there that is?
Your entire argument seems to be that software should be free if it’s on your own device, which is a profoundly absurd statement. The only paid software should be on hardware you don’t own?
