Yeah this is one of those rare occasions where the foss app actually looks better and is more polished than the commercial one! The new beta plex mobile looks much better but you can no longer hide the live TV and on demand stuff, the entshittification is real. And the jellyfin video player still shits on the new plex one.

There are still a number of areas where jellyfin lags far behind plex though like offline playback/downloads, ability to skip intros/credits on mobile. And plex overall is slightly better at transcoding, downmixing etc and requires a lot less manual setup in general.

Personally overall I rate them roughly equal when you balance out the pros and cons of each, assuming you already have a plex pass. But there’s absolutely no justification to pay for plex when jellyfin is just as good for free

In all seriousness though I do worry for the future of juniors. All the things that people criticise LLMs for, juniors do too. But if nobody hires juniors they will never become senior

By leaving you are voting with your feet, one could argue it’s one of the most effective ways to fight. Staying means that in many ways you will be continuing to support the broken system

Saved you a click: power = rate of energy use (energy/time)

Having used reddit for many years i find the hive mind here to be even more extreme, especially around certain topics (all FOSS is good, all other tech is bad, etc)

That’s a low bar, google sucks now

Yeah it’s crazy how intense the Lemmy hive mind is about some things. It’s basically a cult

That sounds like user error, not the LLMs fault

I don’t use Chrome, just pointing out facts

No, all the other ad blockers besides uBO support mv3, and for uBO there’s uBOL which seems just as good

The Lemmy hivemind Firefox bias is a little bit insane lol

What a silly comment. Chrome has plenty of good ad blockers still.

Apple has a conflict of interest too: they need to keep safari gimped so that users have to install apps instead of using PWAs, so that Apple can keep getting 30% of the app sales.

As a result, Safari is terrible and very far behind in standards. It’s the new internet explorer.

At least it helps, even if only a tiny bit, when nothing else does!

I don’t think they understand the meaning of the word pledge lol.

USA hasn’t been a democracy for decades. It’s hard to pin it down to a certain tipping point but I’d hazard it was when you decided that corporations are people and buying politicians is free speech.

builds a new browser from scratch without borrowing existing code

still chooses to do it in C++

Epic fail

Hello pot, meet kettle

It would be nice to spend one day on Lemmy without seeing a half dozen posts telling me to switch to Firefox nor 100 comments on every post that’s even vaguely browser-adjacent about how ever since they switched to Firefox their life has been nothing but joy and rainbows

I do. It happened somewhere in my mid-late 30s. The two main contributing factors have been:

1. Years of therapy so that I’m able to have my shit together
2. Having a kid so I’ve got a reason to have my shit together

Order of those two is very important!
