    Everyone is, some are just in better positions than others.

    To me, this very much seems like a “don’t hate the player, hate the game” type of situation. It’s like companies not paying their “fair” share of taxes - they’re just following the laws. It’s up to us to change them if we don’t like it, just like the issue of having soulless corporations as landlords.





  • whatever helps you justify paying $120 for software

    Does that sound like a lot to you?

    Considering the use I got out of it, even if I switch to something else tomorrow, the cost for the lifetime pass was peanuts. I’m sure others making that decision based on the situation today will feel the same in a few years. If Plex seems like the best solution today it’s not going to fall off the cliff before $120 were worth it.

    Not like FOSS projects are immune to bad decisions, and then you either fork it yourself or depend on unpaid volunteers to keep the version you like alive. There’s always some risk.
