If/when the day finally comes I’m assuming there will be resources of the options available, perhaps even a megathread here. Or I’ll just look into what’s out there myself. But I think it’s fair for the fediverse to be championing the biggest FOSS front runner. I do appreciate you putting another option on my radar.

Because I’m simply not aware of it or all the other options since, as I mentioned, I have no imperative to leave plex at the moment.

That’s where I’m at. Ride my <$80 lifetime license till the wheels fall off and see where jellyfin is at that point.

You’re missing the early days when plex lifetime pass was ~$50usd and jellyfin wasn’t a thing (that I know of). I believe Kodi was the only real competitor at the time, and it was much less friendly.

Plex has slowly moved in a less user friendly direction, but still meets my needs and I’ve easily gotten over $750 in value from the…almost 20 years, wow…I’ve been using it.

Yep, the “laziness” of reliance was a big part of my immediate reaction. I’ve recently found out that veterinary clinics across the country, and especially in Texas, were aggressively moved on by investment capital in the years between now and my last dogs. The pet economy, including medical care, has long been seen as recession proof. Medical care in particular is seen as emotionally driven and ripe for greater exploitation, so of course the vultures moved in. Having AI flag everything, allowing you to show a customer tons of things to worry about and milk them for more diagnostics, a.k.a. more money, is the logical conclusion.

Exactly. Imagery is my field so them just saying “AI X-ray analysis” instead of something more specific or scientific didn’t inspire confidence.

I already immediately left a veterinarian for using AI as part of its xray diagnosis process, which may even be somewhat acceptable since computer vision is relatively mature. Fuck if I’m lasting 5 mins with a human doctor that utters the letters “AI.”

upset that my worries were justified :(

That’s a succinct summation of life for many of us about far too many things, sadly.

What community is this? Oh…. Right.

Legit the lack of a monoculture has been one of the worst results of connectivity and has had some terrible knock on effects.

That is some wild shit

Are there really dudes defending fake/small pockets on women’s clothes? That’s a new level of…I don’t even know what.

I’d say Jim conditioning him to ask for a treat after a sale was closer to this gum setup.

Why did no one take any of the infinite opportunities to take the green dude’s mask off from behind? He’s definitely bolting if that happens, real ICE or not. And with rulings from judges against wearing them, I’d think you have decent legal standing even in the slim chance something comes of it.
