I'm taking control of my media collection.

For years i have been paying for service without explicitly owning the content.

I'd rather buy a copy and digitize the media.

#jellyfin to replace streaming audio and video (replaces #spotify, #netflix, #primevideo, #disney)
#radarr for movie metadata
#sonarr for music metadata
#lidarr for series metadata
#bazarr and #opensubtitles for automated subtitles
#finamp for android
#subsonic to provide music to garmin

And from there the world opens up!

#OpenSubtitles

Dialogue from 53,000 movies and 85,000 TV episodes is included in an AI-training data set that has been used by Apple, Anthropic, Meta, Nvidia, Salesforce, Bloomberg, and other companies.

It includes writing from every film nominated for Best Picture from 1950 to 2016 and at least 616 episodes of The Simpsons.

And there goes another victim of enshittification.

The old #OpenSubtitles API, from the end of this year, will be only available to VIP users.

I have been donating to OpenSubtitles for several years because that's exactly what I wanted to avoid. I know that it takes money to run the infra, I know that it takes time for people to caption movies and series. I contributed to it because I wanted the service to remain open and free.

I guess I'll kill the Platypush OpenSubtitles plugin and look for fully pirated solutions instead. I've made the conscious decision that Platypush should no longer support enshittified services that have turned their back to their own community and contributors. I'm sick of software products with the open/free word in their name that accept contribution for a while and later start begging for money so hard that they lose touch with their own user base and original mission.

I've tried my best to donate to many projects like these to keep them alive as we know them, and prevent them from getting enshittified, but all was to no avail apparently.

From now on, it'll be piracy all the way down with no remorse. Of course, I could simply switch to a premium account and pay the same amount I used to donate, but that's not the point. It's about the principle. I'm much happier to donate money to keep an open project open, rather than spending the same money (or even less) for a closed product.
