Plex requires me to install Docker (which I use elsewhere so would install anyway) and docker compose -f file with my entire media setup

We could endlessly debate which cognitive model is best but you know, that’s stupid… because there is only one…

…Packaged executables should die off. I want to compose electron state in a machine not some randos config formats and syntax art.

I don’t understand Apache OR Plex (or nginx or Docker, etc). Would prefer logic simply be modeled in open code libs I can list in a dep file and run; but software _products_ whether open like Apache or closed like Plex, with a bunch of opinions on acceptable UX/CX are foisted on me by Apache or Plex devs.

I’m just as sick of learning one asinine tribal jargon after as I am the arguments about which tribal jargon is superior!

Bring on the AI chips that abstract away software. Bleh what a trashy gossip fueled industry.
