Ok, well then why the fuck are you insisting that it’s evidence of poor software design? Are you really bitching about it slugging your system without even looking at what the default settings were, let alone looking to see if they were appropriate for your setup? Like jesus christ, you can’t even play a typical PC game without tweeking your video settings these days, and yet somehow a self-hosted open-source app is supposed to just guess what your setup is?
yea, lowkey fuck plex standards. I’d sooner use a cheese grater as a razor than go back to that POS
Why do you think I didn’t look at what the default settings were? I mean, I told you a bunch of times I went as far as getting into bug reports mentioning similar symptoms, you think I just didn’t click the checkmark for “don’t turn your computer into a doorstop”?
I didn’t change any defaults I didn’t need to and I didn’t have a complicated task for it (and let’s be honest, if I did you’d be here telling me that it’s user error for trying to make it do complicated things). That doesn’t mean I didn’t set it up.
But yes, absolutely, a self-hosted open source app is supposed to guess what my setup is. At least as much as its paid competitor. Because that’s my entire point, UX matters and being open source is no excuse for your UX sucking, people are just going to use whatever works best. All the well intentioned whining about security and independence in the world won’t beat UX. So if you want more OSS get OSS devs to focus on usability.
But hey, I do appreciate the honesty of admitting this defense of Jellyfin’s UX is not about Jellyfin’s UX being as good as Plex’s, it’s an ideological argument independent from UX.
Which is fine, I share your goals. I want Jellyfin to be bigger than Plex.
But for that it needs to be as good as Plex. Or better. And it isn’t.
Lmao, just fuck off. I don’t have time to be your therapist.
I am glad you don’t. Not that I’d pay you for therapy. I mean, no offense, but your bedside manner is terrible, you’ve lost your shit multiple times and you keep trying to pass double bind crap as reasonable arguments in decidedly toxic ways. You’re a 5/10 opinionated online interlocutor, but a 3/10 therapist at best.
