  • It’s your system and you agreed to licence your data to them. So technically it’s not theft. But also technically, pirating isn’t theft either, you’re not breaking into microsoft HQ and stealing a product key.

    On a practical everyday way, yeah, I would say they are “stealing” your data, since they hide that as a clause in a massive EULA that can be altered at any time, and you either accept it or don’t get to use what you bought.





  • No they weren’t. I used to play Elite Dangerous and the paddles were used as modifiers, so for example the left paddle held down would change all the face button inputs to distributing energy while the right pad would swap them to common cockpit functions (landing gear, fsd, lights…) Meanwhile both bumpers and triggers remained as a single function: yaw and weapon groups










  • Jellyfin user here, glad I dodged the bullet when I had to pick between it and plex.

    Tl;dr you want something like plex to:

    • manage your media files for you
    • get metadata for extra features (eg. show me similar movies, select an actor from the cast and see all your media with that actor, etc)
    • track your watch progress
    • play on several devices (tv, mobile, pcs consoles)
    • transcode media to a compatible format for your client device
    • share your media library with your family
    • get notified of related media being released (new season of a show or new movie onba series)

    And the biggest one for me

    • tidy up ripped dvd/br movie collection, download missing CC or subtitles
    • create a self-hosted alternative to shitty subscription services
