The underlying intelliJ platform is, not the entire IDE. I did edit the post though, as I realized not all of them are built on that platform.
If you are working on open source, you can still grab free licenses. You just have to renew them each year (completely free, just requires proof of FOSS contribution)
The Jetbrains suite of IDE's. Particularly Jetbrains Rider. The platform ~~they are all ~~ many of them are built on is open source though, and you can get free licenses for all of their products if you are using them to develop open source software!
Ditto. You could also leave Jellyfin as your back end, and link it to Kodi for your front end (if it is just the UI you are bored of)
You can just enter a fake Microsoft account and password. When it doesn't work, it gives the option to continue with an offline account (or at least whatever version I installed did)
I just installed 11 recently. There isn't a skip button anymore. I had to enter fake sign in details for it to give me the "offline" option.
So it seems like their point may still stand.
As someone who has lived with people smoking under the kitchen hood vent: nah.
Here it is. Mostly the sunk cost of VST products with miserable DRM. It seems like it can be done, but I have zero interest in mixing that headache into a creative space.
I was mostly just poking fun. Right now my media is only consumed at one location, so I primarily use Kodi on an Asus mini PC. I will likely keep Kodi as a client, and move to Jellyfin as a server in the future to allow for more clients.
EDIT: I understand downvoting my original tongue in cheek comment. Downvoting my response to someone's follow up question is pretty odd though. Especially the guy signing in with multiple accounts to do so 🤨
Mostly just poking fun. It came off as an odd flex (laughing at people who choose to pay for media) while also repping software that has features locked behind a paid tier (a subscription, at that)
Lol using closed source apps with paid tiers hiding important features for media 🤣
I imagine they mean launching in more of a release sense (IE: Announcing the launch of new app XYZ). I sure hope so, anyways.
