I’m convinced this is all to normalize keeping your data in the cloud and other 3rd party hands. It’s hr decline of the PC market, the fact that games, movies and music no longer come on media you own, instead is now just a license to use the content…
This is all part of the strategy of ensuring we do not own our data. They want all storage of all the data to be something we have to pay to access. They want to control everything, and make access to it a subscription.
It came to me last night, how all this AI and the difficulties obtaining hardware. This is all them trying to end the idea of ownership, at least of your data. They want to control all the data, so everything you do, every picture you take, every game you play, every essay you write, will be only available in the cloud. We are getting close to the point where are must pay for every bit of our own data that we access.
This is the inevitable result. I’m very glad I’ve spent years building my own library of content. I just hope I can continue getting replacement hardware to keep it alive.
I understand the authors reasons, but for me personally, having paid for the app, I’ll use it until it no longer suits my needs. Right now it does early what I need and does not cause me any issues. As soon as the enshittification hits me though, I’ll abandon it for something else. I also would not recommend someone purchase it, given the new pricing, and the availability of free alternatives. Had they been there when I paid for Plex, I’d be using them instead.
Yes and no, I only buy refurbs these days, so long as they work out of the box, they have been far more reliable than retail drives from a box store.
Definitely higher incidents of DOA drives, but the ones that work, have been pretty solid.
Still don’t trust spinning rust, so in addition to dual parity raid, I also have a full backup copy. But I no longer have reservations about refurb drives…
I like the name, and I’ve got lots of projects in various states that I’d love to share. I’ll check it out.
Weaponized incompetence is malice. They are about power, and it’s a huge display of power to put morons who cannot think for themselves in positions of authority. They know that these people are useful idiots, and they know how much it demoralizes the rest of us.
ACAB isn’t just a slogan, it’s a strategy.
Oh my god this is ghoulish.
I paid for it ages ago on a deal, and it currently suits my needs. It runs as a docker container and it just works. It’s easy enough for my elderly mom to use remotely and I’ve ripped my entire movie collection for her to watch. I also like the live tv that’s included with the pass.
I would switch in a heartbeat if it wasn’t doing what I need, but so far I have no complaints, it works well for my family’s needs.
It moves a tiny bit so that when you use it either push or pull, it reads correctly (think pushes against an inside corner vs hooked and pulled an outside corner). The little slop makes up for the thickness of the metal.
Pretty much exactly the same as me, which is why I posted it :).
Now they need to preserve salad fingers. I’m still creeped out by it and so should future generations.
I know, but it’s not really a misspelling though, Milquetoast was named after milktoast.
My first intro to it was Milquetoast the Cockroach from Bloom County. It all makes perfect sense :)
It’s an excellent word, means a timid, meek, or unassertive person. I love it since it sounds like exactly what it is “”milktoast” sounds boring, unappealing, and bland, just like milquetoast people… it’s an effective synonym regardless if intended or not :)
Right-o, LMDE for my desktop machines, Debian for all my servers. How nature intended it.
ha, gotta give you that one :)
(obligatory - same here)
It’s 2026, open a window.
Right, he might be a little further down, but he’s absolutely still on the list. There are no good billionaires.
I have an 86 45 shirt I used to wear during the first term. When the comey bullshit first hit the news, my father called me and told me how I shouldn’t wear violent messages, told me that I’d better watch my back if I wore something like that again. I hung up and ordered an 86 47 shirt. Wearing it today in fact.
Bicameral mind due for a comeback I see.
