maybe that’s me being overly harsh
That’s actually probably fair: the M-chips are impressive, but they’re just an evolution that’s come out of the A-series stuff for their phones.
Which, of course, Apple bought and did not actually create. (I’ll let someone else argue the merits of buy vs do it yourself, especially when you give your aquisition endless R&D funds to make good shit.)
His advice was always bad.
Somehow, and I don’t get how, he got a reputation for “common sense” financial stuff.
He always was the 10%-to-the-church type which is just braindead if you’re financially strapped: the Jeeesus can live without your money, but your family probably can’t.
Also he’s a sexist, homophobic and probably racist piece of shit (since those come in threes) so really, no reason to do anything other than pretend he doesn’t exist and try to save cult members.
If your retirement window is 5 years, you’re probably very very fucked.
If it’s 10 years, as long as you’re assuming social security is going to contribute $0, you’re probably still pretty fucked.
15 years? Maybe, but at that point that whole global climate change thing we’re ignoring is going to start getting more serious, so I’d wager on fucked.
20? Please, you’re already in the trenches of the Water Wars, so your retirement plan is machine gun when you go over the top, sorry.
Basically retirement is going to be you dying once your insurance lapses and someone coming along later to pick your corpse up and billing your family for doing so.
(I’d love to be proven wrong, but ‘What’s the worst most awful thing that could possibly happen’ seems to be the right choice these days.)
Sounds like a fantastic plan.
The handwringing about if we’re being nice enough to the alt right is directly contributing to why we have so much mess we’re now having to deal with. The approach seems sane to find music that’s very specifically nazi rock, so they’re being extremely limited in response, imo.
Screw em, kick them out of anywhere you find them, and then nail the door they used to get in shut.
“Work 50% longer weeks so you can make something that’ll both make me richer AND cost you your jobs!” is not the motivational speech he thinks it is.
nothing of value will be lost
I’d argue the opposite: there’s actually a lot of stuff out there that’s actually interesting: old-school lets-players who’d have done actual informative playthroughs of games. It’s kind of a dying art, but it’s also exactly the kind of content that’s going to get purged by this kind of action.
It’s interesting to spend, say, 10 hours watching some guy play Sierra games and actually talk through shit about the game and whatnot, and it’d be a shame to have that vanish.
But not entirely unexpected since that’s not profitable content in the way that the current morons babbling about bullshit reaction videos, totally-not-camgirls totally not showing their tits, and whatever other brainrot nonsense most of twitch is. (Also alt-right propaganda, but eh.)
No no, you don’t understand!
He’s one of the good billionaires!
(/s for some of you, and for others perhaps you should reconsider why you feel the need to defend a billionaire, regardless of your opinion on video game platforms)
Well knowing Elon, he’s probably paying minimum wage and also forcing the guy to clean his toilets and bring him tendies.
And complaining the entire time about how the tendies doesn’t have enough honey mustard.
Ugh I always hated that phrase. Like, space age technology is ball point pens, Tang, and those MPET blankets you find in first aid kits. Oh and freeze dried ice cream.
It really really does not mean shit at this point.
Question: how is LinkedIn useful to you?
For me it’s just a non-stop swarm of recruiters from India who want me to kindly listen to their offer of a job that pays less than I’d make picking up garbage, utter sociopaths dredging up some psychotic hustle culture nonsense, and previous people I’ve worked with/for asking for favors, which of course means free.
Is it somehow more useful for an actual business?
No no, he’ll just change it so that all posts must be 14 words. Much less obvious.
I don’t disagree, but if it’s a case where the janky file problem ONLY appears in Jellyfin but not Plex, then, well, jank or not, that’s still Jellyfin doing something weird.
No reason why Jellyfin would decide the French audio track should be played every 3rd episode, or that it should just pick a random subtitle track when Plex isn’t doing it on exactly the same files.
As someone who’s had the misfortune of having to use Salesforce professionally, this might actually improve the quality of their slop.
If you share access with your media to anyone you’d consider even remotely non-technical, do not drop Jellyfin in their laps.
The clients aren’t nearly as good as plex, they’re not as universally supported as plex, and the whole thing just has the needs-another-year-or-two-of-polish vibes.
And before the pitchfork crowd shows up, I’m using Jellyfin exclusively, but I also don’t have people using it who can’t figure out why half the episodes in a tv season pick a different language, or why the subtitles are somtimes english, and sometimes german, or why some videos occasionally don’t have proper audio (l and r are swapped) and how to take care of all of those things.
I’d also agree your thought that docker is the right approach to go: you don’t need docker swarm, or kubernetes, or whatever other nonsense for your personal plex install, unless you want to learn those technologies.
Install a base debian via netinstall, install docker, install plex, done.
Mine? Mine? Mine? Mine mine mine mine.
I’m a little horrified that a 15-20% hike is $3000.
That’s uh, well, even before the price hike that makes me feel very Luigi…
That’s a much better name than something I was thinking.
I just made the assumption they’d do the standard open source thing and call it Libre-something.
I’d pay actual money to see the meltdown Matt would have if it was forked and called WP Core.
$5 says there’s a hard fork led by all the commercial providers and anyone else who has a business that depends on Wordpress, and that it happens fairly soon.
It’s GPLed, so while you can’t call your fork Wordpress, you can just rename it and carry on with everything as it was, except you’re no longer involved in dealing with crazy.
I’m not sure the average customer of any of those businesses knows or cares about the name of the software that their site runs, and won’t give a single crap about it not being Wordpress but some other name while otherwise staying exactly the same - or, maybe, without an opinionated obstructionist sitting in front of the code approval path, perhaps even better.
Essentially, yes: they’re not going to contribute to their primary project because some fee-fees got hurt. It’s not really a suicide note, but they’ve certainly decided they’re not opposed to it.
I had a discussion about using the Slashdot style voting rather than the Reddit style.
It not only has the additional tag, it has the max “upvote” display limit of 5, and the display code will expand and promote the best rated comments, while hiding the garbage.
I think comments on most forums would benefit from there being no ‘big upvote’ number to chase, as well as making the highest rated comments in a thread of say, 200, more obvious.
