  • Here's a comment I wrote on it about a year ago

    Tldr; they are an early example of open source enshittification before enshittification was even coined (iirc)

    This is going to go back quite a ways, and much of my knowledge is old at this point so some details might be off.

    ~15 years ago Plex as we know it started out as an OSX fork of the 0G Xbox homebrew software XBMC (Later renamed Kodi (For those who don't know, XBMC was XBox Media Center and would turn the 0g Xbox into the cheapest Home Theater PC you could get at the time, man those were the days lol))

    Plex was only briefly open source and then was quickly closed when they incorporated a year or so after they had something functional. They never made any promises about not charging or being open source or anything, so that's why I'm generally fine with Plex

    Sometime around 2012ish Emby came along as THE open source alternative to Plex and things were good. MOST of it was supposed to stay open source as was promised. From the beginning they kept build scripts n such closed source, probably should have caught on them, but heh ya know hindsight and all that.

    Then around 2014/5 they took it all closed source, relicensed it and introduced their paywall including locking away already existing features. This is what pissed me and many others off and this is when and why Jellyfin split off promising to be truly fully open source forever. (There was a ton of drama about it at the time, but it looks like Embys Q&A thing a bit back doesn't even bother to mention it, imagine that lol)

    I don't have a problem with subscriptions on open source software myself, but the way they went about it...yea. fuck em

  • Jellyfin, unfortunately failed the spouse test when I last tried last year.

    Besides, I don't think for this particular case it would help much, they both pull their data from the same places iirc

  • Is there a good "small web" community here on lemmy/fediverse?

    Jump

  • I just do a classic search for keywords based on whatever in posting to find the closest match and generally avoid "catchall comms". For example, if I'm posting an article talking about newly discovered animal behavior, instead of shoving somewhere like [email protected] id put "animal" in the comm search bar and see what comes up which would lead me to [email protected]

    Though it works better on lemmy.world than PieFed.world because PieFed isn't nearly as federated with remote comms as lemmy.world is, so sometimes I go back to lemmy.world or use Lemmyverse.net to look up and then back to PieFed.world to subscribe to it

  • Lol yea, I was wondering if anyone was going to catch that, but at least then it was usually a "Why didn't you just install it‽" rather than a 6 hour marathon of patches and drivers compiled from source or some shit LMAO
