Woke up at full mast; obviously you've gotta raise the sails and weigh anchor.

My rent has gone up 3.4x in the last 14 years. 2010 I was paying roughly $800/mo for a three bedroom house, now I'm paying roughly $2700 for a smaller 3 bedroom apartment.

they closed their local branch

That was due to threats of arrest for not paying these fines, that were issued for refusing to silence critics.

I was trying to skip past all those middle steps and get to the root of the issue. What started it all.

that’s what you think is wrong with Twitter

?

What is 'that' exactly...?

I've said nothing about what's wrong with twitter. I've said I agree with refusing to silence political opposition for those in power, at least in principle. I've also, at least tried, to be pretty clear I'm likely missing some contex; so that may be a bit of a misinterpretation of the situation.

~~As far as I understand this is a right-wing authoritarian gov silencing left-wing opponent's.~~

~~Am i mistaken?~~

/pre-post edit: Yes, yes I am.

That certainly throws out any bit of sympathy I may of had... Though I still think they made the right decision to refuse to comply.

¯\(-_-)/¯ oh well.

I'm kind of on the fence with this one.

As much as I dislike Twitter/X and it's owner; their 'crime' is refusing to silence the political opponents of those currently in power, then further refusing to pay fines for that decision.... Decisions, at least in principle, I agree with.

That said: I haven't actually seen the content that's at the center of this dispute; the posts of those political opponents. I'm also not very familiar with Brazils politics, so perhaps there's context I'm missing.

Again; I'm just the messenger. Didn't make the decisions.

Head over to lemmy.ml (in a browser) click on 'mod log' at the bottom and search your name.

There's another 20ish communities on lemmy.ml you've been banned from at the same time for the same reason.

I don't have a problem with subscriptions on open source software myself

That's kind of the root of the issue imo; having a subscription based model doesn't really work with open source as the project just gets forked every release to remove the subscription.

This leaves Emby with little option but to go closed source if they want income through subscriptions.

So, I'm not sure I understand what you mean with 'the way they went about it'. Is it the subscription you had an issue with, or the fact that they were no longer open source? What would you have done differently?

And, if you don't mind me asking: Had you supported (paid) Embys developers prior to them shifting to closed source + 'Emby Premiere'?

To be clear, I'm not trying to be argumentative or divisive; I'm just trying to understand the animosity towards Emby and why it's so often left out of the conversation, so to speak. It's something I've never been able to wrap my head around. Thanks for taking the time to chat about this.

WOW.

I can understand making a mistake in the website design, leaving such a vulnerability; but to shove it under the rug and ghost the people that reported it???

The TSA and DHS are begging for an incident.

Glad Ian Carroll+Sam Curry made the info public. Maybe that'll be the push needed to actually fix this.

I'm curious to know why you think/feel that way.

I found/started using personal streaming solutions around 8 years ago; so post-Emby/MediaBrowser split into Jellyfin.

While I started with Plex, I very quickly came to despise their always online/centralized authentication system and moved to Emby as the only alternative I'd seen/heard of at the time. From there I learned of Jellyfin and (at least some of) it's origins; though I've had 0 reason/need/desire to actually install Jellyfin as Emby works fantastically.

I've been really quite happy with Emby; particularly with their stance of not tracking/collecting userdata and maintaining Emby as a private company focused on their customers instead of investors/partners. I understand some people don't like the Premiere licensing model they use; but I think it's a good way for the developers to ensure stable income for their work; and TBH, especially with the lifetime purchase option, I think it's undervalued. Unfortunately that model is not compatible with opensource (as users just fork it to remove the paywall), which is why Jellyfin exists from what I understand.

LMAO, we're a commin' for that syrup 🇨🇦
