Sunk cost fallacy does not require continued investment. No idea where you got that from. It just requires considering a sunk cost in your decision making.

The difference between unusable and inferior was never the cusp of this argument to begin with.

Literally quoted the inferior part in my original response and specifically mentioned you should just consider both on their merit without considering the sunk cost:

The logical way to think of this is: You already paid for Plex so both are free for you. Since both are free, just pick the better one.

Never said you should switch. Just because you seems to lack reading comprehension skills and misread my comment does not mean I am moving the goalpost. You are using a straw man argument: pretending I argued something I didn’t and debunking that nonexistent argument instead of my real argument.

One valid complaint is that I did ignore switching costs in my shortened explanation. This is a mistake on my part, though it does not affect whether your statement as written is a fallacy. It is.

No I didn’t.

no. What you describe is just one form of the fallacy. Sunk cost fallacy in general is when you include a sunk cost in your decision making process at all, instead of just considering the costs and benefits that are affected by the decision at present.

The part I quoted is the fallacy. You wrote you will stop using it when it is unusable, not when it is inferior to Jellyfin. Maybe you were thinking something different, but we can’t read your mind. We can only read what you wrote and what you wrote is a sunk cost fallacy.

Not sure if you’re trolling or you just had a brain-fart 🤔 Happens sometimes. Maybe think about it a little more.

You’re right, but I don’t care if they switch honestly. I used that wording because of the “anything else is stupid” statement, which just irked me when paired with the obvious fallacy.

It was just a reaction to the “anything else is stupid” statement paired with the fallacy. I wouldn’t use that phrasing otherwise.

I paid for it, I’ll use it. When it is unusable I’ll bail. Anything else is stupid.

What you are saying is called sunk cost fallacy. A notoriously common stupid way of thinking.

The logical way to think of this is: You already paid for Plex so both are free for you. Since both are free, just pick the better one.

Assuming you mean publicly, no argument with that.

But the goal is to reduce consumption, and it will work.

Yes, but the black market has serious sides effects. You have to compare the disadvantages of allowing people who want to smoke to smoke, damaging their own health vs the black market funding cartels, mafias, and/or other criminals, causing problems for everyone.

Who said national law doesn’t exist? You break national law, decent chance you end up in prison. That’s real enough, even if not perfect. But what happens when you break international law? 99% of the time, nothing. And in the rare cases something does happen, it’s usually not really because of the law. It’s because countries have incentives independent of the law that make them enforce it. Often, the enforcement being illegal as well. That’s not really law, that is a bunch of outlaws shouting at each other with pipes in their hands, threatning each other.

Pretending for a second that international law really exists, it is defined by international treaties. In this case, it would be UNCLOS.

Well, that is against UNCLOS, but while Iran signed it, they did not ratify it. So, kinda not really.

Except that they are completely legal, you are correct.

No. As I said, apps don’t work. I cobbled together an API key service that let’s you have an API key (password) in the server URL in Rust for myself. This works with Apps, but it is a bit too messy and single purpose for me to open source it right now. Maybe one day.

Honestly, I may have to write one at some point. I just used the documentation of those two tools to set it up.

So use a reverse proxy with authentiacation before access to Jellyfin is allowed. I use Caddy forward_auth with Authelia for this. Unless you also want to use the apps without VPN, this works great.

Well, Arab countries are paying for it, just not to the US government. They pay to Raytheon, Lockheed Martin, etc. Have you seen the new missile and equipment orders?
