It’s just some circle of life stuff, fertilizer, carbon dioxide, light in, The algae produces more algae. It loads up on a bunch of carbon, some of the bloom dies off, by removing it, you take the carbon with it along with some of the fertilizer components. You add a little more fertilizer in and the algae blooms more and sucks up more carbon dioxide.

sigh take your upvote

Fantastic, I don’t think I’ve ever seen you give on anything before.

This is cool, are you incapable of not getting the last word in? My schedule just opened up today and man, I’ve got all day.

Nice gaslight you got there. You do you man keep trolling.

As I said gentry, you do you.

All you need do is look at the histories of Playon, Evernote, LastPass, and the hundreds of other titles that have changed their business model to be less free.

If you hear your engine knocking, you should plan for your car to break down.

Everything you said is true.

Also of note, tailscale is making a shit load off money off corporate America. Every one of us who are deciding engineers that dips our toes in goes holy fuck that’s cool and immediately pushes to implement it in a professional capacity.

And, when Tailscale reduces its free offering, it’ll be time to move to Headscale (or elsewhere).

We (most) are not advocating leaving Plex because it is not FOSS. We’re advocating leaving them because they are changing the terms in ways that have repeatedly suggested that it is circling the drain and feasting on its current userbase in a very Google/Apple/Microsoft way.

We’re not getting anything out of people leaving Plex. There’s no stock here, the community is not so small that it needs all the people from Plex. It’s a humanitarian effort, probably a neurodivergent one, but still humanitarian.

LOL

Hope for the best, plan for the worst,

or don’t plan, you do you!

This change, is absolutely benign for the vast majority. Which means it’s a desperate grab to make more money which will ultimately fail.

Check out the trend over time.

They removed plugins when it was a threat to them controlling their ecosystem, people were using them to pull from YouTube and anime sources directly. They were basically turning them into Kodi, but with benefits

They did the same thing with offline resharing. You used to be able to sync a bunch of crap to your phone, go on vacation and share it with your family from your phone.

Then they started obnoxiously tracking you under the guise that you could see what your friends were watching, but they changed their terms so they could sell your watch data to third parties.

Then they started putting ads into free remote watch

Now there’s no more free remote watch.

As you said, this change is unlikely to make a big difference for anybody, so it’s unlikely for them to make any serious money from it.

My personal guess is, they’re sitting on a fuck ton of venture capital promises and those bills are coming due with the market becoming questionable.

They’ve done everything to the free crowd to increase revenue. If they are truly cash strapped, the next logical thing is to get all these people with lifetime passes to buy in again but on a subscription basis. That means they’re either going to abandon the lifetime product like playon did, or find some other way to force everyone to pay monthly to watch their own content.

Nobody seen anybody needs to switch to jellyfin but you’re going to need a backup plan because inside of the next year or two chances are Plex is not going to be recognizable to you.

Playon, Evernote, Lastpass, there have been plenty of examples.

Whenever a company starts charging for previously free features, it’s time to GTFO, even if you’re on their pay side.

I’ve got lifetime Plexpass, but I can read the writing on the wall. It’s only a matter of time before they enshittify my product or stop providing updates. They’ll sunset Plex and start Plex+ or some shit, give em a year or so.

Get your Jellyfin installed and working, they can work beside each other. Tailscale if it’s just you, reverse proxy if you have the fam on in.
