Pretty hateful thing to say lol

I responded to exactly what you wrote. It’s not my job to read your mind and know that you actually meant something else. Cheers :)

Completely wrong.

Gay is same sex attraction. Nothing at all to do with gender and especially not gender identity.

Trans people and advocates call gay men who won’t date a trans man (a female) “bigots” and “transphobes”. They say that a male can be a lesbian, and if a lesbian won’t suck a “female penis” she is transphobic and a bigot. That’s homophobia, and like I said, it is rife in the TQ community.

Gay rights and trans rights are not compatible. One is based on sexual attraction, one is based on “gender identity”, the latter of which tries to force the former to not exist. The trans activists don’t even hide it - they call it “genital preference” and say it’s transphobic. That’s incredibly homophobic.

Probably should have said that instead then, rather than talking about not convicting.

Oh so there isn’t a cost of living crisis, it’s just that only rich people are allowed to live there because of the nice climate?

WOW lol

Also lol at most desirable climate in the world. Let me guess - you live there?

But they convicted trump……

This is a complete false equivalence and I feel that you know that. The idea of a console is to expand it by buying new games. That’s not unexpected.

It's not though. The idea of self hosting isn't to not have any software costs associated with it. Domain names aren't free. VPNs (that you use to aquire content) aren't free. Cloud backups aren't free. Would you prefer everything was free? Absolutely. Do you sometimes have to pay to get the best software for the job? Absolutely, and Plex is that software.

I am a software developer.

Same here! That makes your argument even crazier to me! Someone demanding that your software should be free and should never be changed to be paid even if it means the company goes under is bananas.

The argument is that this is an exceptionally poor business model and as a developer I’m disgusted that people are defending it.

The business model of having the people that use their main product that requires the most development and time and resources, Plex Server, pay either a cheap one off fee (that regularly goes on sale for half price) or a monthly subscription fee in order to use it, is "exceptionally poor"? How so? Is it just that it was free? This business model has been around for eternity. Get people in the door and hooked by offering it for free, then start charging for it. It's one of the actual best business models around, not "exceptionally poor" lol. You're looking at it from the "I want it to be free forever" point of view, not the "We need it to be a viable business with revenue to be able to sustain it" point of view.

until there’s no such thing as free software anymore.

That will never happen, because people will always be making free software to put out there for people to try and to use - and many of them will then transition to PAID because it's not sustainable otherwise. For software to thrive you often have to have full time developers working on it, and full time developers need to be paid.

At the end of the day you’re paying twice to avoid buying IP. Just fucking buy the IP if you’re going to be stupid. Movies are like $12. At $250 you’re paying $2.10/mo in addition to your hosting costs.

Just go buy 20 movies for the same price. It’s so dumb.

I paid ~$100 ~10 years ago for Plex Pass. It paid for itself instantly as I was simply supporting the developers of the software. As a software developer I have no problem doing that. I wasn't forced to buy it, but I did.

I'm not quite sure where you got this $250 figure from though? What is that, the monthly remote pass x 12? Also most people running a plex server get far more than 20 movies a year lol. Pretty sure I got 20 movies last night.

What are you talking about? Where did I "pretend I have questions but just have insults"? Where did I even insult anyone in my post that you replied to? Here it is, please show me:

It seems to be a common left-winger fantasy that right-wingers are secretly obsessed with gays/trans/femboys/queer/etc sexually. Doesn’t seem to be based on any truth, just your typical left/right wing rubbish.

Insult......where? You just saw an opinion that you didn't agree with and therefor didn't like and just went straight to "they're trolling".
