Ok so you missed the point.
Democrats have been in charge for 30+ years. They've been in charge and helped create these problems. Do you think they will fix them?
Republicans didn't get CA into this mess, Democrats did.

"Shitty move by a corporation"? You mean requiring the person that's using their flagship all encompassing flagship software product to pay a one off fee? A one off fee that seemingly most people who host a Plex server already bought?
Software costs money to make and maintain. You're not entitled to it for free. Plex's software is legitimately great and is the only software on the market that does what it does and makes it as easy as it is.
and evidently has no costs associated to the corp
As has been pointed out many times in here, this is wrong. Plex have hardware that is used when many, probably most, people stream remotely. Also developers cost money to employ. Developers make the software that is regularly updated. They deserve to be paid, don't they?
It is pretty damn obvious how this will continue.
So you agree the same thing will happen to JellyFin then, right? So why even bother getting Jellyfin set up now when it will inevitably happen there too?
No Jellyfin app on AppleTV or PS5.
Insert virus on your server.
My next NAS might not be by Synology due to their recent announcement about supported hard drives,
Just on this - this was widely misrepresented just like this plex announcement is. Just so you are aware of the actual truth - the new + Synology NAS's do not require Synology branded drives. They will still accept and work with all drives including WD, Iron Wolf, Seagate, etc.
All that is changing is that only the Synology branded drives will get some of the "smart health" monitoring features and easy firmware updating (of the hdd). Nothing else is changing. You will still be able to buy all of the new Synology devices and plug in whatever HDDs you want and they'll work fine.
If the host is on a VPN then you need access to that VPN to be able to access Plex.
Set up Bazarr.
Yeah a VPN isn't "necessary", but it's the most straightforward way. Unfortunately it's not really at all feasible for many people who currently play from other peoples plex libraries.
The closest thing to justification I can figure is “all my clients are borderline illiterate as well and it upset them”.
And now OP is saying that he's switching to Jellfin and thinks that all of his borderline illiterate "clients" will be ok with using a VPN to access Jellyfin, if their device even has Jellyfin lol.
Also the way that OP says "users" and "clients" makes it pretty clear that he is charging people for access to his library. He is ok with making money off Plex's work, but hates the idea of Plex making money.
Nah. How would you get Uncle Bob to use tailscale on his PS5 to watch Jellyfin, for example?
