If Trump keeps being antagonistic, Carney should start calling him Premier Trump.
I’m told we’re going to get so tired of all the winning.
From the set up, I’d have expected the agents to have unleashed whatever was in that manila folder. You’d think it was important if it was one of the only things they brought in.
Now I’m thinking it was less ICE agents carrying a warrant and more “militia leader bought a pack of folders at Staples” and told his racist minions a folder will get you through doors like wearing hi-vis or a ladder will.
What is “this” and “it”, and who is “they” in your comment?
Disappoint Denethor.
In my area there’s an unwritten rule that nobody calls conservation and nobody talks to them if they come sniffing around.
Oh that’s just my dad. He’ll tell you when you should be wearing gloves or eye protection, and then exempt himself from that rule.
I paid over $400 to teach my staff self defense.
That doesn’t seem like nearly enough money to teach multiple people how to effectively defend themselves.
Do you hold it in your hands, or in some kind of bag?
Given Plex’s users, I think it’s appropriate to notify everyone with a Plex account for changes like that. No issue there.
What I take issue with is that email. It’s at best lazy and at worst manipulative. It’s worded like “if you stream media you need to buy this new pass”. Ok, clear. This free app I use now costs money.
But then they slap on “alternatively, if you connect to a server with a Plex Pass don’t worry about it”. But that’s not something the majority of consume-only users are going to understand. I have about 15 regular users and the only one who knew what that meant was the one who runs their own Plex server.
Dork detected.
I have a Plex Pass and my users are still getting this.
To be crystal clear to anyone getting this email: if the server admin has a Plex Pass, users need to do nothing to continue as normal. The streaming pass is only for users who aren’t connecting to a server that has a Plex Pass.
What I find shitty about this is that it’s being indiscriminately sent to every Plex account. There’s bound to be lots of people who don’t understand what this means who will be tricked into buying a streaming pass they don’t need at all. I’ve been getting messages from my users all day asking wtf is going on, and I’m getting tired of trying to convince them to just ignore the email.
Read the email again. The key word in their marketing slop is “alternatively”. You have a Plex Pass and are the server admin. Your users need to do nothing.
Unfortunately, that does mean I have to respond to messages from all my users asking what that email means and convince them they can just ignore it.
A second “nice” part of this change is that iOS users no longer have to buy the Plex app on the App Store to stream longer than a minute. The app is only like 5 bucks one time, but it was a barrier when trying to convince stubborn people to just fucking TRY my Plex server.
This was me when I was young and stupider. The Conservatives always campaigned on addressing problems and explaining why I should care about them.
It took a few years before I learned to start asking why and how. At the time, it didn’t occur to me that I had to check their work to see if their problems were even real or if they had any idea of a solution to them.
And they did not. But they were awfully good at talking about economics while running higher deficits than any other government.
AXE THE PICKLES!
This warms my heart more than anything else this election.
If this resonates with anyone, I strongly encourage reading Ed Zitron’s writing. He takes a big shit on Big AI and brings receipts on why it’s not even compatible with capitalism, which is the only thing propping it up.
Vibe coding. I’m seeing my highly intelligent department of software developers pick up their new AI-powered IDEs and immediately start phoning it in. I’m being asked to review code that was obviously written by AI, obviously not understood by the „author“, and obviously does not and cannot work. And it’s happening more and more as we „increase our velocity“. I’m very worried for the next generation.
But I also go to a chat bot to get search results. It used to be you could use google and add some + and - keywords to narrow down what you need. Now the results are so terrible (once you scroll past all the AI slop and advertising) that it’s completely unusable for searching for anything that isn’t shopping.
