Not for me. Before Plex I was browsing folders on my TV and I actually had to organize everything, plus find and download matching subtitles. It sucked so much.
I got into self hosting because of Plex and ran it on a 2015 Shield (both the server and the player) for ~8 years. Just moved the server to another machine this year.
Still happy premium user.
That's nice to read, happy you found a solution fitting for you.
Also happy to read you'd like to contribute, sometimes I get mixed feedback when it's about giving back somehow to these devs.
Thanks for bringing it to my attention. I think I used an apk from way before and now after updating it I see their new beautiful UI. Pretty nice.
I'm also all for OSS, but in this case, for me, there's no OSS alternative for navigation. Both CoMaps and OsmAnd can be used for it, but not tailored to do it.
As a frequent and satisfied user, I'm happy to contribute to their development. 15 EUR annually doesn't seem far fetched, but you can actually get the Premium package on their site for 6 EUR (link to the pricing page). That's like 3-4 can of beers kind of money.
What I'm doing is, having this kind of rss feed where I'm adding the sources (Capy reader with Fresh rss ftw) and when I need more/other I'm checking Kagi news https://kite.kagi.com/
I would say definitely not essential, but it can elevate both forming and having one.
There should still be something in common to build on.
In general, being a big fan of both Psych and Scrubs on TV, I would say pop culture references elevated both of those shows for me greatly. It feels like theyrey sharing insider jokes with me and I do get them.
I was not expecting to change your opinion instantly. I'm sure you have real experiences backing up your sentiments.
Still I hope you get this same feedback from other places, and realize that the world is usually not black and white, bad and good... and you're actually welcomed to develop more sophisticated views of things and people around you.
It's all easy and cozy to think in extremes, but it will get you nowhere as a person.
As an HR professional, that's just incredibly hurtful to read.
I'm really sorry you had that experience, which is making you generalize a whole a set of people based on what they are working on.
And it's also bad to see a lot of people just jumped on the hate train and upvoted it.
This level of armchair negativity contributes nothing to the conversation.
I've already read like 10 of these before, so I'm kind of confident saying that most people would recommend Mullvad as the best and most secure/private, and some of them would also add ProtonVPN.
I'm using Proton here and there, no issues, would recommend.
It's just really sad to see this comment and also upvoted this many times.
Doesn't contribute to the conversation at all, plus possibly starts some hate circlejerk.
Unfortunately this is the case I'm seeing happening more. I would love to use a router of my choice, but then I would lose the TV service (Telekom, Hungary).
And it's not just about the freedom of mine to choose the hardware, but the features their one is lacking.
Also with the TV box I got from them 2 yrs ago, I can feel and see that's is miles behind my 2015 (!) Shield TV.
So yeah, ISPs giving out crappy hardware and force you to use it, is my nr. 1 gripe.
