I bought the lifetime plex pass years ago for like $50, and I wouldn’t even pay that today. The service is so fucking subpar, that I assume the only reason people still use it is they don’t know any better and aren’t technical enough to do the slightly more work involved with making jellyfin functional.
I moved over a few years ago during the pandemic (maybe before, what even is time anymore) and I have 0 complaints.
“We have asked our party who is at fault, and it’s the Democrats!”
Hmmmm, who could be responsible for this completely expected result of underfunding? Surely not the party that has been in control of everything for 2 years, or at least partially in control of Congress for the last 16 years, right? They say they’re very fiscally minded and are America first, so there’s no way they would intentionally destroy critical institutions, right?
RIGHT?!?!
If you’re not paying for it, it’s not yours.
More likely it has to run the bit of the client that handles DRM calls.
Goddamn, that’s ridiculous. I can’t say I seen that one myself, but I also haven’t really watched cable in like a decade. I wish I could be surprised or even consider the idea even remotely hyperbolic.
No one should be surprised, cable tv played out the same way. Got you hooked on content and then started shoving ads in so often they sped up credits or ran the credits under the commercial break to squeeze just a biiiiiit more out of you
but I doubt they would be broadcasting the headline unless they thought they had a way to make the math, math.
Bro, Elmo runs SpaceX and Tesla has been talking for over a decade about how FSD is right around the corner, and it’s still pretty much trash.
Don’t assume these chuds have actually thought shit through just because they are making publicity around it. Silicon Valley is notorious for lying about capabilities to get investor money, and has been for as long as I can remember. If I had a dollar for every full of shit promise I’ve heard out of these dipshits I could pay for healthcare…
Summary: Humans have a “hidden” sensory relationship with the environment that bypasses conscious hearing. A new study reveals that infrasound, sound waves below 20 Hertz (Hz), can physically alter our bodies without our knowledge.
Even brief exposure to these low-frequency vibrations, which are common near traffic, industrial machinery, and aging ventilation systems, significantly raises cortisol levels and increases feelings of irritability and sadness. These findings provide a scientific explanation for “haunted” feelings in old buildings and suggest that invisible noise pollution may be a silent driver of chronic stress. [Source - 2026)]
And if a study released in the last couple of months is too recent, here’s another from 2021
Exposure to high levels of infrasound (more than 100 dBz) interferes with cardiac muscle contractile ability, as early as one hour after exposure. There are numerous additional studies which support this conclusion. These results should be taken into account when considering environmental regulations.
To me, the very goal of interoperability is not to force you into creating multiple accounts. Big Monopolies have managed to convince people that they need one account on each platform. This was done, on purpose, for purely unethical reasons in order to keep users captive
Goddamn, what a shit take.the big monopolies are trying to get you to sign up to each service using their accounts as the authentication IdP for other platforms. Having a central account to funnel data back to the mother ship is exactly why a lot of us DON’T want a single account. Hell, I have multiple Lemmy accounts for segregating what content I see.
Not sure I care any more about this dudetake when his base premise is so far off line.
Yeah, rather than just implementing anti-spoofing technology, let’s give the government even more of our private data that won’t be used against us ever
Agreed. I finally got around to setting up a system in a mostly isolated subnet to play with agentic coding recently, and I was reasonably surprised at how not awful the result was. Still won’t trust the fuck to spit out anything without supervision.
All I wanted was to make a debug version of a FOSS app I use because the official app is lacking basic features. It took a few attempts, but it solved my issues and spat out an answer that was the minimum viable patch (after instructing it to do so and not edit a dozen unnecessary files) that looks reasonable. I never got into android apps, but I understand the syntax well enough to know it didn’t do anything horribly out of pocket.
That’s why the Republicans and the supreme court are working to repeal basic civil rights so they can weight the elections in their favor.
Your entire last comment was 100% wrong, so your understanding of you being wrong is meaningless.
Chrome’s handling is barely more secure. A compromised device will have a much easier time reading Chrome’s encrypted store than scanning your RAM to find passwords.
Regardless, they’re still loading them into memory in plain text, and knowing this exists, is going to be an easier task to grab than dealing with the encrypted store chromium uses. At least chromium uses the in built credential api to try to protect the secrets, the fact edge doesn’t is an egregious security hole.
I don’t disagree that users need to have to enter a password to view their stored passwords, but you’re hand waving a massive and intentional decrease in security on Edge’s part. No matter how easy it is to get out of another browser, this is a violation of basic secure development practices. Security is only as strong as the weakest link, and edge is determined to not even close one of the easiest links in the chain.
True, but there’s a big fucking difference between handing over the keys without being asked, and doing basic fucking due diligence and not loading all your passwords in plain text into memory by default.
(@iglou@programming.dev ) I can’t defend MicroSlop because that mentality is pants on head stupid and is directly in opposition to any statement that they care about security. Because, again, they made their browser behave this way for no real reason besides blowing smoke up our ass. Chromium handles passwords properly, MicroSlop chose to do it insecurely and is hiding behind the dumbest defense. Because their OS has more holes than Swiss cheese and they refuse to plug a basic security hole that they put there intentionally.
Btw, don’t ever copy&paste from your password manager, if that’s a problem
Maybe, but at least with my password manager, they’d only get passwords as I use them and not the keys to the kingdom when I open it.
The problem is, the weird way it is implemented in Edge and how MS handles the issue.
“Handles the issue” is a weird way to say they don’t give a shit about protecting your passwords. They had to change this behavior, because chromium doesn’t do this by default, so it’s not really even negligence in Microsoft at that point. They chose to do this.
Safety and security are foundational to Microsoft Edge. Access to browser data as described in the reported scenario would require the device to already be compromised. Design choices in this area involve balancing performance, usability, and security, and we continue to review it against evolving threats.
“We value user safety and usability, but if you’re already compromised you can go fuck yourself”
None of that refutes my point, or supports your non sequiturs, and is just making up bullshit about what you think I believe.
What part of my statement was a lie? Or are you lying and claiming an opinion as fact? Because
Has nothing to do with what I said, unless you think subpar means broken. It’s doesn’t, it just means below expectations.
If I wanted a shitty interface and stuff I don’t give a fuck about shoved in my face, is pay for a streaming service and skip hosting my own. Plex was originally about that, but had to enshitify to make money. That’s what makes it subpar. But if you want to eat a shit sandwich, I won’t stop you. I’m just not going to pretend it’s not shit. Because anything that feeds me ads is shit IMO.
