I am beginning to remember what made me think Jellyfin wasn't user friendly.

Maybe it wasn't the user interface after all.

Tl;dr:

  • PhotoPrism: Local AI with strong privacy but heavier setup.
  • LibrePhotos: Same, but less polished, more community-built.
  • Immich: Best self-hosted Google Photos alternative.
  • Ente Photos: E2E encrypted, low-maintenance, most "plug and play"

although they can probably mitigate the effects by moving to one of their 500 houses that's in a safe zone

That's why they don't care.

Climate change hits the poorest first and hardest (see: hurricanes in the Caribbean and SEA).

Billionaires can fly in, enjoy the sunshine, fly out and not get a drop of water on their skin.

And they'll keep "outrunning" climate change on an individual level, and only feel it when it hurts their net worth*.

*At which point, they'll just re-organize their investments to exploit clean energy subsidies and real estate wherever everyone is fleeing to when the coasts flood.

Yep. What's considered intuitive UI changes depending on what you're used to.

It's why Google fought so hard to put Chromebooks in American classrooms.

I believe you. I feel that way about iTunes (trauma intensifies).

But Jellyfin doesn't have that reputation.

And then they bring you steak with bees because the server's new and she doesn't quite understand the kitchen shorthand yet.

Hate when that happens.

I set up Plex on my mum's TV and she can just push play. The UI is intuitive (read: familiar) to her.

Jellyfin has a reputation for giving users more control and customizability, but the other side of that coin is that it's more "fiddly".

My users don't want to fiddle.

Even if Selfridge's entire existence were a collective fever dream*, the "full quote" is the better quote.

I can't imagine anyone who has worked in direct sales, at any amount of money, who genuinely believes "the customer is always right" is more correct of a saying without "in matters of taste".

*If everyone born before 1925 was a fever dream, it changes literally nothing about the state of the world today.

I read that. (I literally mentioned features not being paywalled in the original comment.)

If the key doesn't unlock features, what does it unlock?

Do you get a little thank you message from the devs when you enter it in? Does it add a "Supporter" tag next to your name on the app settings?

The practice exists in both software and games of adding paid cosmetics (e.g. Discord or Deep Rock Galactic) that don't change the core featureset but allow users to pay more to support the developers, so I think it's a valid question.

What does the $100 server key unlock (besides "supporter status"), since features aren't paywalled?
