Algos have us all doom-scrolling.

When 9-11 happened the Fukushima I couldn’t tear myself away from the footage. Ended up being the same in Reddit with live updates, would have been the same with Tiktok I suppose but I never engaged on that.

I moved Youtube back to clients that only gave me who i follow, moved to lemmy/piefed.

I just want enough news to know what’s happening. I don’t need every gory detail or every opinion piece on it.

I even split on bluesky, wasn’t healthy.

Fediverse is just about as healthy as I can find.

I’ve been looking through the source. I could totally fix it, but I worry no one would appreciate my code chops :) And I think the current work on the db changes might invalidate anything I actually try.

I absolutely hate what Plex has become. I bought a lifetime pass a long, long time ago, and ever since that purchase, they seem to have done nothing but strip features I need and force features I don’t want.

Now if we could just sort the jf collections type in ways other than by date ;)

One too many apparently :)

I’ll survive.

100%

Ads, selling private data, adding AI, cutting features.

I just need JF to be in the same neighborhood as the corporate stuff for security and end-user ease of use. I can do a hell of a lot of complicated stuff on my end, but walking grandma through a change is painful.

I love EVERYTHING there except

Saved servers and settings will not be migrated from Jellyfin Media Player.

I can fix it, and it’s no big deal, but I provide services to friends and family who’ll need me to walk them through it.

That’s the stuff where we lose out to corporate products.
