don’t use Brave.

Yes its a decent piece of software made by some properly smart industry experts but I have zero faith in them on a personal trust level. The CEO (despite his amazing resume and past accomplishments) is an arsehole, a bigot, a crypto-scammer and a science denier.

The data-point that someone is using a dumbphone or actively trying to minimise/restrict profiling is a very important and valuable profiling data-point itself.

jellyfin was a fork of emby anyway, its core framework is solid.

Emby has more of the plex-like polish, but it is more closed source than I would prefer to trust with my media, so I get by with Jellyfin. It works more than well enough fro my in-home media streaming and I still run plex for my remote users as I bought a plex pass way back at the start and I’m going to use it until I simply cant anymore… which seems to be rapidly approaching.

They don’t need to listen to you to know exactly what you are thinking.

The average tech user likely has no idea how accurate these profiles can be without active listening.

I put of grabbing one of these when my work was clearing them out, giving them away for next to nothing.

Now when I actually need one I cant find one for less than the cost of my best damn server. and nobody seems to make a basic cheap one.
