If you’ve signed in to a MS account you have your bitlocker encryption key and won’t lose any data.

and forced obsolescence refers to Win11 blocking everything prior to Zen+ and Coffee Lake

Because Win11 uses features that that hardware doesn’t have. Win10 is still there and still works. You can’t stop progress forever.

and not all people are comfortable with having to sign up for an online account just to install their OS and would rather make a local account if possible;

Sure, but most are fine with it especially with the benefits it brings. For older people it’s an absolute godsend, as all their files are automatically backed up to onedrive and accessible on any computer.

Also, I didn’t know local backups of your data ala simply copying it to an external drive at the minimum, weren’t an option that existed anymore. sarcasm

What are you talking about?

Not really doing too well there either, are you?

Yeah the best solution is to definitely just keep voting for the same people who have been in charge for decades and have overseen it get worse and worse. No other options at all.

Step 5, recover password?

That’s what the online MS account is for - your BitLocker encryption key is stored on your account that you can access from any web browser.

It’s rather difficult to get people who are willing to lie and commit fraud for you.

X.

If anything they’re more empowered here if they lean the right way politically (which is a hard left), because the mods are even more militant in their banning due to wrongthink here.

The task was to tell you the difference. It told you the difference, it was just wrong about the differences. Giving an incorrect answer to a task is still doing the task.

If that’s what you think you don’t understand the ruling, or transphobia.

It’s very likely that the Democrats are the fucking reason people WANT to be there.

More Americans left California between 2023 and 2024 than any other state across the country, according to new data released by the Census Bureau.

The Golden State lost a total of 239,575 residents to other states, the largest net domestic migration loss in the country over the past year. New York, another blue bastion in the country, saw the second-highest loss, losing a total of 120,917 residents between 2023 and 2024.

Guess where they moved to on average?

Citation needed.

No citation needed. They’ll either do it one day or the software will languish behind in obscurity.

Anyway, what’s wrong with being left behind?

Nothing I guess, other than the competition getting further and further ahead and your users leaving for them.

We’re not in a race, so I don’t understand how we could get left behind.

You definitely are. JellyFin doesn’t exist in a vaccuum. You might not feel like its competition, but the jellyfin software competes with all the other media streaming software out there.

We literally currently have a federal government taking US citizens from their homes and sending them to prison in a foreign nation they’ve never been to before, for simply criticizing Israel.

No US citizens have been taken as far as I’m aware?

From what I’ve seen the last week, basically if you don’t agree with the group-think you’re labelled as “trolling” automatically lol. You don’t even have to be doing anything even remotely resembling “trolling”, just saying something that isn’t what the echo chamber decided is the right opinion.

Also, the UKSC judgment is a pseudo-scientific piece of junk. Agreeing with it is a big-ass red flag.

This is a giant red flag actually.

We have no ambition of being more lenient than Reddit

At least you’re honest I guess. Authoritarian dictatorship enforced echo chamber is the goal.

I always see this and I have to ask: why do you care?

Because OP is scared of losing their users because of their incorrect thinking that Plex was requiring them all to buy a remote streaming pass, so clearly OPs goal is to not lose their users, right?

OP asked, we’re answering. That’s kinda the whole point of this thing called Lemmy. We don’t care per se, we’re just telling OP our opinions and thoughts on their questions and proposed solutions.

Have to agree with the other comment that asks why do you need to use a vpn. Fax

If you don’t use a VPN you’re putting yourself at risk. There’s no real way around it with Jellyfin, as others have said.

I find it hard to believe that there are bots scanning for jellyfin exploits

You are very, very naive and uneducated on what bad actors do on the internet then. Basically any popular service that exposes a port to the internet WILL have bots scanning for that port specifically.

Landlords and the system that treats housing as a profitable investment is the cause of high costs of living.

And who is in control of, and has been for most of the last 30 years, that system?

High cost of living cannot be solved by switching to the other current political party.

And it definitely won’t be solved by continuing to elect the same people who are making it worse. You don’t get change by doing the same thing over and over. By continually voting for them in spite of it getting continually worse, you’re telling them you’re ok with it.

Literally nothing changes for me, the plex server host, or any of the people streaming from my server though. Nothing at all. Nothing is ruined, nothing has started to be ruined. I don’t have to pay any more money, none of my friends and family have to pay any money.

And no, jellyfin won’t do anything like this because they don’t have control over how you use it and don’t force their cloud on you.

Until Jellyfin no longer maintain it and change to a closed source product that they want to make money from.

Plex’s own “cloud” that they “force” on you is part of what makes Plex the success that it is, and it costs them money to maintain.

They are not a company.

They definitely are.

Nothing changes for anyone that isn’t HOSTING a plex server, and most of those people would already have a Plex Pass due to the benefits it gives.
