I don’t know what that means, sorry.

Because there are some signs the bubble might be about to burst. Some of the purchase orders have either been rescinded or downsized, and - ironically - thanks to capitalism AI is becoming unaffordable for some businesses. As popularity increases, AI companies are raising prices and this is leading to human labour once again becoming cheaper than just vibe coding everything.

Do you never leave the house for any period of time where you might want to bring some of your media?

In short; do you never travel?

Plex charges for downloading your own media through your own local network onto your own local devices.

I’m not talking about remote streaming. I’m not talking about downloading media while you’re already out of the house. Nothing about local downloads to local devices should require Plex’s servers, so it should come at no cost to them, which makes it a pure cash grab.

So yes, Plex does charge for local use :)

Federation doesn’t fix the problem, at least not in its entirety. I posted a longer comment in another thread but the long and short of it is that accounts need to be portable if it’s going to work for a git hosting solution.

The comment: https://lemmy.zip/comment/26430897

Do you know, the farm takes up most of my time and after that I just like to have a cup of tea, I don’t know how much time I can devote to this whole “racism” thing.

I DON’T CARE AS LONG AS I GET TO HAVE A GO AT THE GREEKS!!!

The problem is, I have an account on lemmy.world but switched off during a time it had major problems with downtime and broken images. When I wanted to switch to another provider, my account was not portable. I hadn’t posted or commented an overwhelming amount, but it’s still not associated with this account.

So let’s say someone creates a federated Git hosting platform and feature matches GitHub with Actions/CI etc, so there’s no reason not to switch. Let’s then say git.world starts acting up, but you can create an account on git.zip instead.

Now you have given up your commit history and any commits you make from your git.zip account is not neatly linked with your git.world account.

I’m sure this problem can be solved, but it’s vastly more important for it to be solved before federated Git hosting can replace the “security” of GitHub. We do have to consider the fact that some people point to their GitHub profile when job searching, so git contributions and commit history is more valuable than Lemmy posts.

Thank you ❤️

Thank you ❤️

Do you have an archive of the archive? archive.is seems to be captchablocked as it is impossible to get through the captcha, it just reloads every time I solve it.

It’s funny coming from the Plex thread into this; ~100% of people who keep using Plex do so because it’s centralised and it makes sharing their library with their network of family and friends easier.

The truth is; a lot of us feel like we need more internet accounts about as much as we need genital warts. Part of the reason GitHub got successful was the fact that you only needed to register once and you had access to fork and PR all the repos on there.

Decentralisation is great for self hosting things for, well, yourself and your household, but it’s got hefty downsides. Account creation is a friction point for others to join and collab.

Isn’t that kinda exactly what the OP was saying with their comment about MBAs realising they have non-paying users?

I don’t run Plex so I don’t know, but from your comment it sounds like the Plex Pass isn’t “all past, present and future premium features”?

Or were you theorising about a future where they do ask you to pay more?

If we accept the premise that certain distros will need to comply with age verification laws (school specific ones, distros running on govt machines), then it would be better if that information was securely stored in the system database rather than relying on each school/government agency reinventing the wheel.

I will save my ire and save my effort protesting until age verification, not attestation, makes its way into my distro of choice.

This is actually something that intrigues me quite a bit. If you’re good at one part of management you get promoted, until the point where you’re only okay. We are so obsessed with title and status that it’s better to be an average “Executive Vice Manager” than just “Vice Manager” or whatever, and we foolishly tied compensation purely to job title.

Bro I can quit adding things to Sonarr whenever I want I just need one more drive bro last time bro I swear bro

This is the most sane take I’ve read in this entire debacle. Between arguing the semantics of attestation vs verification and whether we need five hundred forks and PRs, I’m glad to read this.

The biggest mistake the original PR did was not make it more clear it’s not directly because of the laws themselves, it’s to support higher level systems that may want to or need to comply. Systemd is no more complying with any present or future laws than a keyboard manufacturer is violating the law if the user uses it to type racially motivated hate speech.

I’ll check them out, thank you!

What are some good free indexers? I’ve only heard of paid ones (nzbgeek personally) 🤔

You skipped over the fact that getting vanilla Arch installed is often what trips people up, and also what makes people who run vanilla Arch feel like they accomplished something and truly built something - because they did.

You’re also glossing over the fact that a lot of people run the CachyOS kernel even on vanilla Arch because of the performance gains from having a kernel specifically compiled for instructions your CPU supports.

In other words; I don’t think the convenience of a proper installer, nor even just a 5% gain in performance, is just “marketing”.

Bias disclaimer; I run CachyOS btw

I think part of the reason I don’t care that much about Steam achievements is that they don’t do anything, plus the fact that they can be scammed via 3rd party tools.

I’ve only used said tool once to grant myself the “Paragon level 200” achievement and “Explore Nahantu” achievement in Diablo IV because I earned those on BNet and the unlocks aren’t retroactive.

While I might limit myself from “unlocking” achievements I haven’t earned, there’s nothing stopping someone else from “platting” a game they have played for 20 minutes, other than a lack of profile feed posts for these cheated achievements. As much as I would like Valve to make achievements matter, they can’t be allowed to matter while that tool exists.
