Well, I've tried it since this comment, and I'm using it occasionally (primarily because I like the Delfin app for Arch Linux), but there's a lot of reasons I still prefer Plex. First and most importantly, I use PlexAMP as my primary music player and I have 1tb+ of music that I don't feel like perfectly setting up again. It's a huge amount of work, and I listen to a lot of lesser known shit that just isn't easy to gather data for, and a lot of Various Artist shit that I'm really particular about how it shows up.

The other big issue I have is that Collections is a separate tab in Movies, rather than being listed alongside the rest of my library like in Plex, and that's really just not useful for me. It automatically populated my collections just fine, but if my primary Movies tab is just gonna list each individual movie and I have to actually go to the Collections tab to see collections, it's just not how I like my library. If I can find a solution for this it'll go a long way to pushing me toward JellyFin.

well this is my current music library all together in a WinAMP Playlist

TV folder is 6.66tb, Movie folder is 1.84tb, Music is 600gb

That's cool, but why not just use Soulseek?

Plex. I'm not sure if Jellyfin is foss, but if it is, I haven't felt like converting my library. I've put a lot of work into making it just right.

Steam, obviously.

other than video games, I think that's really it. I still use some others, like Spotify, but not primarily, I just like to have options.

Clearly whoever wrote this has not tried torrenting popular content 🤨

What else is there for movies and TV tho? 1337x and pirate bay are all I really know, and they're both pretty dubious.

I miss Demonoid so much 😭

The fact that "they're trying to take away my right to take away the rights of others" never stands out as a logic issue to these people says enough

I've done a shitload more than dabble, and I assure you, it didn't end me up here. This is just people who desperately lack critical thinking skills.

This seems to act like games and their default difficulty options are commandments carved in stone when they're not. If I find a game to difficulty to enjoy and then find it enjoyable by cheating, that's what I'm gonna do.

Winning is good, right? Yeah, but not if it's too easy

That's how you feel about it, though, not an objective thing everybody feels the same about. I absolutely cheat whenever I'm finding a game too difficult, and I assure you, I'm still enjoying the game. I don't know what people get out of what I find to be the extremely infuriating act of repeatedly failing over and over until I finally get it right, but I have not ever felt the sense of accomplishment I'm told I should feel after finally beating something I struggled with. I feel angry and like I wasted a bunch of time when I could have been enjoying something more fun.

I'm just trying to have a good time, not compete with myself or prove that I can learn just the right way and right time to hit certain button combos or whatever.

Same, and now one of my favorite things about the Switch and Steam Deck 👍

Well I guess that's at least one good thing about Threads
