I fucking loath LinkedIn! I don’t go on there much, but every time I do it’s 99% shameless self-promotion using vapid, one-dimensional content that’s wrapped in a thin veneer of motivational speech bullshit.
How do many people can’t see through it (let alone tolerate it) is beyond me. LinkedIn embodies so much of what’s wrong with modern society.
JavaScript, AJAX, and modern web frameworks have pushed us away from displaying information in a pure and clean way. We need to go back to a better time!
Looks at no-HTML websites
Shit, we’ve gone back too far!
Exactly!
Screw that. Give the government a way to track my vitals 24/7 and sell that information off to their cronies in the private sector? No thanks.
That’s not how knowledge works. You can’t just have an LLM hallucinate in missing gaps in knowledge and call it good.
Pretty good advice. Although they are probably recommending that for more than just it being a Meta data farming scam.
Awesome, thanks for the tips!
I started down the Jellyfin path after they made that announcement. It’s super easy to install, and in many ways the UI is nicer than Plex. But I ran into challenges getting my server safely accessible for users outside my LAN. And I haven’t had the time to look into that further.
Would be great if there was a clean, easy way to set up the webserver portion so it’s as easy to share content entirely as Plex. But I get they are a volunteer project with a lot on their plate.
Good news good Signal.
Accelerando is such a weird but excellent novel.
TIL Ghostery had their own browser.
Oh maybe it is only FOSS.
Hopefully Revolt (a Fediverse alternative to Discord) continues to improve and can completely take the place of Discord relatively soon.
Edit: it might only be FOSS, not federated. Still a promising project though.
Who would have thought that gutting the technical expertise of the company would lead to such vulnerabilities. 🤔
Ohh right… everyone with more than a few brain cells!
I started using it right after they launched their streaming service. Back then it was awesome. No ads, nice UI, and lots of great content, so for a good price.
But that was a long time ago.
I cancelled my subscription several months ago. And I should have done it much sooner. The difference between what is was way back in the day and what it is now is jarring.
I think a lot of people keep paying for nostalgia reasons, and because of a futile hope that Netflix might somehow go back to that earlier version. In retrospect I think that was a big part of why I kept my subscription for as long as I did (which was obviously a mistake on my part).
Now, the company says it imagines an “Uber-type of setup” to fill their ranks, with gig workers logging in remotely to argue with customers from the comfort of their own homes.
So they’re using their spectacular failure as a chance to exploit their new ‘employees’ via the gig economy.
Fuck them. They have learned nothing about respect or decency, and I hope they continue to crash and burn.
The same courts that the government routinely ignores, and that has a sham, corrupt supreme court at it’s head? Yeah, good luck with that, unfortunately.
Not if you’re willing and able to pay an arbitrary $30 a month extra. That lifts the oh-so essential data cap. Yeah… fuck Comcast, or whatever they are calling themselves this month.
With tungsten cubes apparently. Lots and lots of tungsten cubes!
