Baker’s testimony shows that Mozilla depends so much on its deal with Google for revenue that “the biggest loser of a DOJ win in the Google case would be Mozilla.”

You can export EVERYTHING, Forward email, and have alternatives for every thing. It’s incredibly easy to move away from Google.
It’s a choice. There is no lock in.
oh definitely. I haven’t used a Google service in 5 years. But Google’s lock in is not forced, it’s one that relies on people tech illiteracy, comfort and not knowing better.
I disagree. It’s easier to use.
Look I have commits to PHP, python, cncf, and hasicorp shit. Running that stuff takes effort and skill. I design and implement multicloud fail over resiliency apps professionally. I have zero fucking desire to run jellyfin at home.
Google offers valuable services and you don’t need to be a tech illiterate boomer to find value in the services they offer. I don’t want to have to explain why a raid failure lost 20 years of photos and Google is going to put a hell of a lot more effort into that than I will.
Not gonna lie. This is the kind of tech illiteracy people are talking about.
In the specific case of setting up Jellyfin, it takes about 10 minutes, you do it once, never have to do it again, and it has no programming skill requirement to it.
These services google offer thrive on ignorance of alternatives, they’re not any easier to use than the alternatives.
No it’s fucking not when you have to support a fucking family or ultimately are responsible for backups or service for family members.
Jellyfin fucks up just like Plex. If it’s translations a busted fine from a bad torrent, usenet having incomplete manifests (yes, this is a I’ve been doing this longer than your life comment), or a shitty default download setting from *darr service.
I don’t want to fucking deal with my family bitching at me for support when paw patrol episodes don’t line up with the automated scan of my library.
Christ, even with my low key, I fucking commit to core Linux highly available services technology comment I still run into assholes trying to acklutally me while ignoring that I don’t want to run a help desk.
