  • Honestly I’ve tried jellyfin and I have a hard time agreeing with this for a few reasons:

    • UI generally more unresponsive than Plex;
    • changes to correct a show/movie being assigned the wrong show/movie metadata very slow to propagate if at all, same for changing other library options like title language preference;
    • generally slower to buffer and get into videos;
    • very rough android lollipop UI;
    • not as easy to set up tech illiterate friends for play together.

    I’ll give you that morally jellyfin is less customer-adverse than Plex management is at the moment and it is more open in some ways so you can have more plugins and add-ons that Plex lacks, and sure it’s a free product so it should be given some leeway.

    … but if I just listened to all of the people saying jellyfin is just so much better I’d think it was an objectively better offering, but it’s not. When it comes to what I care about, it fell short, so just giving my 2 cents. Still worth trying, considering you can just point it to the same media folders, and maybe there’s a good proposition if you don’t already have a Plex pass, but if you do and you’re looking to migrate it’s a tougher sell.


  • The truth is though that it’s not an apple-specific thing. On the android side Asus was the last large phone maker to ship modern small phones, and even they have taken over their zenfone line (small phones line) with a large phone for the ZenFone 11.

    Based on reports from companies, it sounds like the market is just not there, at least not big enough to warrant the R&D compared to “regular” phones which make them good money.

    Have you heard about “arguing in bad faith”? When it’s an entirely different person or entity from those that screwed us in the past it’s unfair on them to assume they’re in it to screw people over especially when it comes to open source federated platforms where cutting one head means it can still work fine.
