The only one being cheap here is uber, don’t be thick.

You can give the delivery driver a tip when they get there. I’ve been doing that for decades.

That’s a good way to perpetuate the cycle. Also, who tips BEFORE getting a service?

It’s funny how I don’t need to clarify that it’s sarcasm for people to know that it is.

I would say that Uber is a shitty company. Tipping is bs, you should get paid a decent salary and it’s your employer’s responsability to do that.

As usual, what a poignant observation from pizzacake.

If that data were encrypted it would at least reduce the number of people that has access to it.

It’s also only possible because the information they used (BFI) is unencrypted.

It’s because people don’t like to be publicly proven wrong or humilliated or whatever you want to call it. Unless they come to that conclusion themselves or you can express your point in more polite and less preachy manner, you’ll always get significant pushback.

No hay nada por lo que pedir perdon! Fue una correccion menor, se entiende lo que quisiste decir de todas formas :)

*a mi tambien

And I’d rather not deal with extra, unnecessary security concerns.

Or just use ZeroTier/Tailscale/NetBird/Wireguard and you can access your server from anywhere without exposing it to the imternet directly.

You’re so far off the mark that I’m not even going to keep spending my time to explain why.

“They” don’t have to do that. They can just install the jellyfin server .exe in their computer and point it to their libraries, that’s it. As time goes on they couls slowly start adding plugins or learning how more advanced features work. But hey, if you want to pay a thirs party to access your own media, go ahead. We all make mistakes in life xD

If you tell me you don’t have time, sure. Been there, done that. However, “too complicated”? Nah. I’m also not trying to convert people to Jellyfin users. Use what you want to. Doesn’t mean that I can’t think you’re making the wrong choice. I’m as free to think and say what I want as you are.

Google makes most of it’s money from advertising - which works by tracking everything you do and building detailed profiles of you.

So the answer’s “no”? Gotcha. I do try to avoid using google products and I do use extensions to try to prevent tracking. So maybe they’re making less money off of me than others? Who knows.

This might not be intentional, but it sounds to me like whataboutism combined with “there is no perfect option, so we shouldn’t do anything”.

Not even close my friend. However, you can’t fight every single battle. I try to pollute as little as possible, selfhost everything I can, don’t buy things I don’t really need, etc. Regarding youtube though? I just wanted to watch videos without ads on my tv and it cost me next to nothing to be able to do that.

Pro tip :P you can use "> " to quote text. It’s easier to read.

It’s like 5usd for a family plan in my country. I doubt that’s making a dfference. Also, I sincerely doubt you’re not using any Google services/products in your life. Not to mention that there are plenty of "evil inc"s out there.

Is there an advantage to using newpipe if I pay for premium?

Uhm, no? I just use the lan IP for my jellyfin server at all times. The only difference between being phisically in the same place and outside is that I enable tailscale when I’m outside. I’m telling you, this is far simpler than you’re making it out to be.
