There's a big difference between owning content, and having access to download content.
The problem here is that you were not buying a version you could download and store on your system, and just play it back with whatever.
So you 'bought' it while it was still under their control etc.
But like so many other comments here state: it's very much a known fact that 'buying' something like this is just renting it for a short time period.
We must keep fighting for them to actually state this in bold text before you pay them.
In my opinion (which might not be shared by everyone) this is a you problem.
Developers in the team not using decontainers should not have to worry about your environment.
ide/local-env stuff should be ignored in the users git setup, everything that the repo creates (build artifacts, environment files etc) should be in the repo.
It sounds really insane. Too bad there is 0 proof or anything in the article, so I am very skeptical. Without proof etc this is just a very nice doom story.
Check out the project called superpowers. It can use different models for different agents. I use it witb opencode to have different models for reaearch, planning, execution, testing etc
also, it's very much possible that the chinese companies get heavy investments from the state. Since it's very hard to get this info we have no idea wether they really make a profit or not.
The article misses a couple points:
- sharing. With plex this is easy using plex accounts
- 3rd party integrations. There’s a whole ecosystem around plex.
- a lot of things that are built in into plex are either not available in jellyfin or are offered as (no longer maintained) plugins
- clients are far from the quality one needs
accepting the update TOS is not the same as signing a new contract.
But yeah, a lot of stuff is constantly blocked behind: accept the new terms before continuing.
There's this nice config option that you enabled that stores originals in iCloud, and removes them from your device to save storage space. I think it is called something like 'Optimize Storage'.
So, you enable an option to not eat up all your storage and have the originals stored in iCloud, iCloud gets a new TOS, and you complain your originals are 'held hostage'? riiiiiight. I mean, it's doing what you told it to do.
