It's just incredibly funny that the site that tried to fight spam and ad bots because it harms user experience is now implementing spam and ad bots to harm user experience.

Obviously that's okay because it's their spam and ad bots!

And because they are such black boxes, there's the sector of Explainable AI which attempts to provide transparency.

However, in order to understand data from explainable AI, you still need domain experts that have experience in interpreting what that data means and how to make changes.

It's almost as if any reasonably complex string of operations requires study. And that's what tech marketing forgets. As you said, it all has to come from somewhere.

If only the container was an issue, you would have a direct stream which doesn't impact quality, it just repacks it in a container that is compatible with the client.

You can see the transcode reason on the dashboard by clicking on the i symbol. Start playback on android TV, open jellyfin on your phone and you should see the transcode reason.

Round and round and round.

It's the same all over again. MS got a slap on their wrists with the browser choice tool they had to introduce in Windows 7.

Then everyone forgot about it and they started forcing Edge on users. Now they get a slap on their wrist again and the same will happen in another 10 years.

Don't get me wrong, it's really awesome and I'm glad that EU regulations actually have a impact. But I still wish for more, more permanent and stricter anti monopoly laws.

Being a maintainer / project owner is not always fun, but it's rewarding in a sense that you're able to offer something useful to others.

I don't like providing free support via github issues. And that's usually what happens, you don't get many developers that put care into bug reports. Instead it's mostly users that don't really understand, sometimes entitled, sometimes really nice but completely wrong.

However I really appreciate those that do care or at least follow the template and make an effort.

I see issues as a form of a necessity to help the software improve, but I've chosen to no longer pay too much attention to it because it's just draining.

Support is draining, and I respect everyone who does it, those who provide support for free even moreso.

Wireguard through gfw worked fine when I tried it. The other client did have a static IP and static Port tho, that probably helped
