Yeah this is one of those rare occasions where the foss app actually looks better and is more polished than the commercial one! The new beta plex mobile looks much better but you can no longer hide the live TV and on demand stuff, the entshittification is real. And the jellyfin video player still shits on the new plex one.
There are still a number of areas where jellyfin lags far behind plex though like offline playback/downloads, ability to skip intros/credits on mobile. And plex overall is slightly better at transcoding, downmixing etc and requires a lot less manual setup in general.
Personally overall I rate them roughly equal when you balance out the pros and cons of each, assuming you already have a plex pass. But there's absolutely no justification to pay for plex when jellyfin is just as good for free
In all seriousness though I do worry for the future of juniors. All the things that people criticise LLMs for, juniors do too. But if nobody hires juniors they will never become senior
By leaving you are voting with your feet, one could argue it's one of the most effective ways to fight. Staying means that in many ways you will be continuing to support the broken system
Having used reddit for many years i find the hive mind here to be even more extreme, especially around certain topics (all FOSS is good, all other tech is bad, etc)
Apple has a conflict of interest too: they need to keep safari gimped so that users have to install apps instead of using PWAs, so that Apple can keep getting 30% of the app sales.
As a result, Safari is terrible and very far behind in standards. It's the new internet explorer.
USA hasn't been a democracy for decades. It's hard to pin it down to a certain tipping point but I'd hazard it was when you decided that corporations are people and buying politicians is free speech.
I mean great if it gets there but in the meantime I'm not going to recommend it to anyone as a google maps replacement. It does look like a good maps.me replacement for hiking though!
