Which proprietary software do you prefer over their open-source alternatives, and why?

The most recent one is, of course, Sync for Lemmy. It may just be muscle memory at this point, but I find the experience a step improvement in browsing.

On my home server front, I would mention Plex despite Jellyfin's massive improvements over the past 2 years. Plexamp is just a magical piece of software.

For the most part, though, I think I'd reverse the question. Most of the time, I prefer OSS.

PeerTube v8.1 is out!

This will be a huge lift for content discovery. I love the idea of PeerTube, but still struggle with discovery and subscriptions. As the links and videos are populated through communities, it will help!

I have struggled to filter with YouTube Kids what is allowed. The setup is default allow with channel denies (opposite of a good firewall), so I have taken to yt-dlp and Jellyfin to get around it. I don't agree with the law as written, but I get the intent. Parents should be more active in their kids's lives versus the state.

We is Us

I was in the same boat and finally watched it on a flight awhile back. Very cerebral and an interesting concept all around. For sure worth a watch and one of the few shows that lived up to the hype as of late.
