How are these people losing access to their MS accounts on their computers?

20 years, oh well you showed me. They’re definitely the ones to blame for the current situation. Better keep voting for the current lot, they’ll fix it this time im sure.
It’d fit the privilege of using someone else’s software.
None of this says “manufactured”.
What was the bribery?
Adding extra tiers that only the people who already bought a Plex pass would buy? If you run a Plex server and haven’t got a Plex pass by now, you were never going to unless they did what they’re doing now, as it’s basically feature complete.
You don’t really seem to understand that businesses need revenue and profit to survive, publicly traded or private. You’d rather see Plex die than have their most hardcore users have to pay a tiny fee?
I really don’t give a shit if a corporation needs more revenue to satisfy their infinite growthTM.
Oh so they don't deserve to be paid for their work, the only reason they'd be after money is for "infinite growthTM"?
What’s not fine is taking something away people used to get for free
I agree that's never good, but what's the alternative? Go out of business? Insert ads into your streaming of local content? Another way rip look at it is that they’ve been giving away their product for free due the last 10+ years that they should have been charging for.
I mention JellyFin because at some stage it will become a business and they'll start charging too, or it will get left behind because it's free. People can fork all they want, but businesses that provide services can't do so for free for eternity.
Is there even anyone that runs a plex server who doesn't have a lifetime plex pass these days? I’ve had one for 10+ years at this stage. I bought it to support the devs as they made this amazing software that I’ve used for probably hundreds of thousands of hours of streaming from my server. I paid like $100. I pay less than that much in 1 month to my ISP.
IMO it’s a fair change, because the product has always been worthy of being a paid product.
People are free to go elsewhere, but they’ll quickly realize that the one off plex pass price is cheap for what you get.
But your "evidence" isn't indicative of all "right-wingers". It's some small study of "homophobes". Many on the left are homophobes, seemingly more and more these days as "trans rights" and gay rights don't mix very well.

Nah. How would you get Uncle Bob to use tailscale on his PS5 to watch Jellyfin, for example?
Lemmy admins/mods are even more heavy handed than Reddit ones from what I’ve seen in the mod logs - especially around transgender topics. There is seemingly no discussion allowed, only echo chamber agreement.
Like if you said that you agreed with the UK Supreme Courts ruling on biological sex and sex based spaces, you’d probably be banned for being “transphobic” on many communities and instances here.
Some of Lemmy appears to be Reddit admin/mods but dialled up even further to the authoritarian side, which I didn’t think was possible haha
