Something wrong with that link

No, like this:

Is this a screenshot post, @ipostscreenshots@lemmy.zip?

I don’t use any of these suggestions, but the ones I keep hearing *about are Quik and Fossify Messages.

Edit: accidentally a word

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.

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”

although they can probably mitigate the effects by moving to one of their 500 houses that’s in a safe zone

That’s why they don’t care.

Climate change hits the poorest first and hardest (see: hurricanes in the Caribbean and SEA).

Billionaires can fly in, enjoy the sunshine, fly out and not get a drop of water on their skin.

And they’ll keep “outrunning” climate change on an individual level, and only feel it when it hurts their net worth*.

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.

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?

Awesome. Although I can’t tell whether comments weren’t migrated or the original posts just didn’t have any.

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)”

That doesn’t address the other two bullet points.

It’s like tracking an animal moving in tall grass. You don’t need to be able to see the animal directly to tell where it is.

If I can’t disappear completely, there’s enough data points around me that a useful silhouette can be reconstructed from all the surrounding data.

What’s the point?

“They’ve already got my data”

From our site: https://www.rebeltechalliance.org/gotmydata.html

The main retort to this is

“No they don’t - they need to continually replenish their profile on you for it to be useful. If you cut off the supply now, then their power fades.” That’s why their data harvesting is so aggressive. It needs to be, otherwise their promise to advertisers of being able to predict what you’ll want, and when you’ll want it, cannot be fulfilled.

You just need to step off the playing field and their game comes grinding to a halt!

I already “get it” and I don’t find this argument too convincing.

If you’re 25 years old and cut them off, they still have :

• your data from the last 24 years
• the data of everyone in your demographic
• the data of your family, friends, and coworkers

(Yes, I get that it’s different if everyone cuts off data harvesting at the same time, but this is about convincing one person.)
