    Plex’s crackdown on free remote streaming access starts this week

    Jump

  • The conversion is not the biggest issue. For my dad or Grandmother to stream my content, Plex as a streaming app is something they can easily understand and digest (though Plex's new streaming app has done quite a bit to undo that -_-). I have the subscription, I acquire the content, I choose who to share it with. Now they need a subscription, too? Where's the value? Why wouldn't they just pay for a streaming service at that point? I'm using my hardware and doing all the work and they are paying Plex? And if I accepted payment for the same thing it would be a crime! BUT I'm not sure I'm comfortable opening Jellyfin to the internet, even behind nginx, and I don't want to have to spend time setting things up for them or troubleshooting their issues w/ Jellyfin. I put enough labor into this thing already.

    So yes obviously everyone should switch to the FOSS option, but in reality it's not that simple because the services aren't 1:1.

  • You mean Sundar Pichai didn't say "One thing was to train our LLM on every piece of copyrighted material created by humanity. We made our peace with that. But to willfully use copyleft software? That's a Faustian bargain I hope I can atone for:"

  • The NEO robot. I only can see this as a bad idea. What do you think?

    Jump

  • Literally just slavery with extra steps. You can be damned sure those extra steps exist solely to keep the poor at a distance and the robots are gimped so they can't be used against the rich slavers.

  • The AI hype

    Jump

  • Well yes and no. The tiny hands will be that of a robot we (the slave class) will control remotely.

  • Literally just slavery with extra steps.

    The rich want slaves but they don't want to see or interact with them. Creepy CEO even made a point to show off how weak robot 1-X is, so the slaves better not get any ideas, either.

  • Considering these people are in charge of the only systems capable of regulating them, yeah probably not. And if you won't sell them they'll force you into foreclosure and buy you up even cheaper like JD Vance's Acretrader has been doing to farms.

  • Vulture capitalism. These VCs come in and take out a huge loan to buy these established companies, then the company becomes responsible for paying the loan, and the company also pays the VC "management fees" then when the company is a hollow husk of what it used to be they start selling off assets and closing stores. Kmart, Sears, Toys R' Us, Circuit City, Party City, Payless, etc etc etc. This is how Thiel made his Billions and what Vance did before pretending to be a politician. Lately they've been going after the funeral home industry and veterinary clinics.

  • The Jade Helm 15 conspiracy theories were based on the Jade Helm 15 United States military training exercise, which took place in multiple U.S. states between July 15 and September 15, 2015. The exercise, which involved 1,200 personnel from four of the five branches of the U.S. military, was designed to train soldiers in skills needed to operate in overseas combat environments, including maneuvering through civilian populations. The announcements of these training exercises raised concerns and generated conspiracy theories, mostly from Alex Jones, that the exercise was a hostile military takeover.

  • Damn employees expecting to be fairly compensated for their labor. Don't they know they're literally stealing from the executive's bonuses?

  • Please take it from me. I and many others have also carelessly bet on RAID as a backup and lost. I know storage is expensive but you've got to at least back up the important things.
