I appreciate your letting me know that I am wasting my time actually explaining the potential uses of these tools i’m sorry you’re so myopic about this.

AI audio tools have allowed me to restore audio that five years ago I would’ve said had to be re-recorded or is otherwise unsalvageable.

AI transcription has been one of the greatest gifts to the disabilities community we have seen in decades. It is borderline as significant as screen readers for the visually impaired.

Again, just because you don’t know about applications doesn’t mean there aren’t any. You need to stop speaking out of turd about things you don’t understand. Again, I say this as somebody who is harshly critical of LLM‘s and the theft that trains these systems. There are a lot of different forms and tools that this technology takes.

Other guy covered it decently. I think it’s also remember to have a little bit of humility and remember that just because you don’t have a use for something doesn’t mean others don’t either. In addition, just because you can’t think of a use for something doesn’t mean there isn’t any. I say this as a huge critic of AI/LLM’s and how they’ve been deployed.

Do you want a serious answer or are you just being flippant?

And I like that my wife and kids can jump on and access my server whenever they want from any device without fuss. Everyone has their priorities! I take my privacy pretty seriously but I can’t make it the number one consideration at the cost of everything else all the time. Plus, Jellyfin is a security risk if you don’t know what you’re doing. I’m pretty tech savvy but it definitely pushes my limits so I do not feel comfortable setting it up and constantly maintaining it.

Yeah if I was just serving myself I would’ve probably stuck with Jellyfin, but my wife and kids also use my server. Because of it we pay exactly $0 a month in subscriptions. Plex lifetime pass was a very easy decision to make.

If they do a complete heel turn tomorrow and fuck us all, I could simply shut it down. The money I’ve saved so far has been worth it.

I’m going to try and take a step back here and really give you a more charitable interpretation.

I am sorry I had such a reaction in some ways. I do not appreciate the implications and accusations you threw my way, but I can believe that they were not meant to be like that and I can get past it. Have a good rest of your week.

I’m not upset, you’re just being annoying. And for somebody who says you don’t care or otherwise not invested in all of this, this comment is pretty damn long. So I skipped to the end, have a great rest of your week as well I guess. Assuming you’re actually being sincere.

And before you complain that it’s disrespectful of me to not even read what you wrote or whatever, frankly I found it very disrespectful that you opened up by trying to make me sound emotional and unable to process this rationally and tried to diagnose me (which as someone with autism I’m sure you understand how problematic that is to do to a stranger online after like 2 comments).

A lot of this is simply a really rude Internet argument tactic that I don’t appreciate. I’m calm. I’m being rational. You’re just being rude and again, problematic.

I’d love to see your homework on that. Must be really interesting data points here. I’d love the ability to prove my opinions and ramblings on the Internet are “objectively true.”

All this BS aside I was clearly wrong because they said so. It was a mistake. You’re going to survive.

“Jacked their prices” is a tad dramatic and if you use Plex regularly you’d be foolish not to just buy the lifetime subscription when they put it on sale for like $80 every year. The price change this year was modest except for lifetime which went from $125-$250 with a heads up meaning you could’ve still gotten it at $125 before the change.

Do you know the details of the price change?

👍

I understand why you might find that useful but I do not think that is exactly the most important feature in the world to most people. I could also rattle off plenty of things Plex can do that Jellyfin can’t. I have used both and the fact of the matter is just am willing to take the trade offs for the simplicity of Plex. You do you!

oh well if you’re saying so then it must be true.

The humorous intent was not obvious.

I know people are going to crucify me for this but just fucking use Plex at that point

You’re hiding behind literal definitions to avoid addressing the functional issue/implications.

This is like when somebody says “no one believes that“ and the other person finds a tweet by one person that believes the thing. The claim isn’t that literally not one person does, it’s that it’s so unusual you may as well act as if nobody does.

Surely you understand how people talk and basic vernacular?

Over a decade old and kind of narrow, for instance:

A new study shows that heterosexual women might prefer masculine men – but only when they are ovulating.

but these are actually real sources and there’s an argument to be made, I can live with that.

I’m sorry, your source is a short 15 year old quarterly fluff university magazine piece written by an undergrad citing a study that isn’t even linked in the article?

based on science and reality

If you’re going to be that hand wavy and sure about it, then it’s only fair that I respond with “source?”
