Dyskolos

I switched from plex to jelly, but (at that time, it might be cooler now) it was horrible. Nothing really worked. Then gave emby a try and bougjt premium a week later. It just works. Has a webhook-support (for my smarthome) and whatnot. No crash, no hickup, no glitch. All just works.

It is. I switched after many years of plex because they started to annoy me. It was a long while ago and zero issues since. Big community and if you’re stuck (which u won’t) you’d get help there

I’m using Emby for that and loving it (even paying the premium). It’s free too for most features. If i got you right, you have your movies and a pc. Emby runs fine on linux/android/win. Setting up the server is child’s play on win (haven’t tried linux).

If you dislike it and like to tinker more (coz u have to) : Jellyfin (same base as emby).

Or you can pay and go the mainstream-route with plex.

If that is what you’re looking for?

Unexpected futurama-reference :-)

You nailed it. Sadly so. I weep for the future of the net. It’s been going downhill for many many years now

Sorry, but it’s not ghosting to me if they’re ignorantly refusing to use anything else than this piece of crap software despite any explanation and help to install another one. Unless they’re technically that challenged, that they would need years to understand it. I would accept nearly ANY other messenger, which i would install too. Once had viber installed just because one friend was slovakian and it’s their thing there. But not WA. To me it’s integrity, i couldn’t look in the mirror if I’d be installing what i despise. Like a vegan eating meat not to offend someone.

I know, most people don’t care about those things at all. But I do. And i hate, that the worst companies always win the races. I can’t hate AND support it at the same time.

Of course email serves a different purpose. But that’s beside sms the only alternative that’s most likely already installed/available. I get a message on my messenger whenever i receive an email on any account, so i least it would be little lag for me.

Ahhh i see. So no data at all but still free WA. That does make sense. And is pretty mean 😊

If everyone would think this way, all other messengers would be extinct and Zuckerberg would rule over everyones most personal data. And then, oh wonder, it suddenly has a subscription-cost too.

Not for me. If people are so stubborn to use it, they gotta go back to email or sms if they really wanna reach me. I don’t use that crap, nor facebook or twitter or instagram or tiktok or…

So. They can choose the app, but you mustn’t? That’s a weird reasoning imho.

You know, there’s still a thing like sms or email if they really have to and ignore my simple wishes.

You mean the WA-traffic made a significant difference? But how? It’s still mostly just text, no?

Here data is expensive, but a messenger wouldn’t make a difference (unless you’d exchange a lot of large files) so that any provider would gain a benefit over the competition. Including TV or netflix or tidal hifi, that’d would. Weird…

Sadly no. But would not change my stance anyway 😊

How is that even a thing? are your data-plans that shitty that this bit of whatsapp-traffic matters? Unless you’re sending some hour-long movies every days.

Telegram won’t bow to countries. Russians know that Pavel had to emigrate due to that. WhatsApp surely complies to all russian inquiries :-)

At least edge is a better browser than whatsapp a messenger :-)

I’m german too, and I just deny using a tool just because “everyone else does it”. Those who use it and want to contact me, have bad luck or just use a decent messenger. This “there-is-no-escape”-mentality helps that shitty company to keep its grasp on people. I try to educate and offer alternatives. If it’s not accepted, then at least I tried.

I’m also in Europe. And for me it’s as i said. Wouldn’t even know one reason FOR whatsapp besides the popularity.

Never met an it-pro using that thing. And beside some boomers and younger technically challenged, i have never seen one using it. To each his own. People actually use facebook too. Or even twi… Errr. X.

The boomers who are using zuckerapp do have emails. It will work out fine 😁

Disgusting. So glad I don’t use either.
