Would be nice if you guys could do that quietly. Not every change in how Plex does business needs to echo through social media. We'll let you know when the time comes.
It’s like the standard ”I use Arch btw” meme, but maybe there are too many Linux users on Lemmy so these people need to find a new way to feel special.
I've never seen a bunch of pretentious assholes react so hard to a product they don't use so loudly. not even Linux vs Windows users are this insufferable.
then you have an actual JF developer stirring the shitpot up with posts like this.
I really don't mind them capitalizing on this, the echo chamber just makes it super annoying.
Very apt way of putting it.
Here's another meme that came to mind:
Always remember that the point of this scene is that the guy saying “I don't think about you at all” is an insecure prick who is constantly anxious of losing his power and status. He thinks about it all the time, this scene is just bravado to keep up a façade of suave indifference, but inside he is spiraling out of control because the other dude took a project away from him. So, this meme doesn't say what you think it says.
I think the thing is, every news cycle there IS a few people who's time has come. And so jellyfin is brought up
I say this as someone who has a plex lifetime and is still using plex. I appreciate everyone getting riled up and passionate, because that means the fallback will be that much more polished when my time comes.
You sound like someone pulling up the ladder and yelling at the people below to shut up. Anyone new to the space is dealing with this absurd $750 lifetime price. Of course they're yelling
Wy do it quietly when we can help others know about the alternatives, how to get them, how they work and what would be the cons and pros?
That's one of the utilities of social media, no?
