Then they shouldn’t be called lifetime subscriptions. This seems like a really smarmy justification of a shitty business practice.

I actually prefer the Jellyfin client to the Kodi client by a lot. Using Kodi on top just adds more unneeded complexity and reloading libraries in my experience.

It works pretty well for me but I separate anime and TV/movies, and make sure the anime library is only scraping data from anime-centric databases. But I’m also not watching too much new or obscure stuff.

Don’t do this. You will lose quality every time you re-transcode an audio file. AAC is supported by basically everything now.

Also MP3 is a pretty bad format all things considered. The most efficient format is Opus, it’s open source and transparent at 160kbps.

Bandcamp only works if the band originated there. Most labels don’t sell anything through bandcamp. If a label doesn’t release digital lossless for me to buy it’s getting downloaded on Soulseek.

Of course it’s real. This is maybe one of the least shocking beliefs from a webcomic like xkcd ever. Like 1/5 of all the comics are about hacker culture or Linux.

I’m personally not a fan of permissible licenses, but you don’t need to bring your fetishes up in every conversation.
