I have a lifetime pass already but I’ve been souring on the app as they changed direction.

Previously it was the best app for running your own personal streaming service. It lets you share your library with friends and it even had its own group watch feature allowing multiple people to watch the same stream together. It was perfect for remote friends and family, brilliant during Covid…. And they removed it for no obvious reason.

Now the company spends more and more time trying to promote their own ad-laden video streams, they want us to rate movies and presumably sell that data. The company lost its way.

Lifetime Plex was still worth it with those features at $200, not at $750. If I had to do it all over again I’d probably use JellyFin.

But racists treat it like one.

Comma AI can do it with far far less.

Intel set up shop in Israel long ago, but I’m still boycotting. At least we have AMD as an alternative.

Sepp of all people, when he’s saying this you know things are much much worse.

Good. Larry Ellison does not appear to be a force for good in the world. Steve Jobs had negative things to say about him and his obsession with increasing his billions.

Waymo is currently level 4 autonomous driving. The difference between levels 4 and 5 is that level 4 is geofenced and level 5 is not. (And level 5 has no steering controls).

Most Americans I know were upset with both.

I was going to say the same thing but you beat me to it. Thanks.

Most of Wikipedia articles hardly change over time. The entry for potassium for example, or Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act. The controversial or recent current events topics get most updates.

Hyundai has been pretty good. And I only hear good things about Rivian and Lucid.

Apple requires some developer credentials and notarization for sideloading apps, to prevent known malware. What is the problem with this?

Edit: everyone this is an honest question.

His positions are actually quite in line with mainstream America. Most Americans now criticize Israel’s war on Gaza. Most Americans believe the rich are under-taxed. Most Americans believe the rent is too high. Mamdani is not the boogeyman that conservatives claim.

The recent policy update under Brig. Gen. David R. Everly reversed a 2022 rule". This “rule” is very new and was likely found to harm wartime readiness after trying it out.

Likely according to what evidence? You’re making an assumption here. I have zero reason to assume good faith with Trump and Hegseth changing anything right now, why should you?

Sounds like a cult member volunteering for suicide.

Much easier to pull out after, and I can leave quicker despite taking slightly longer to pull in.

That’s just the loudest voices, not the majority.

Haiti has a lot of lynchings of suspected gay people. Grenada and Barbados and Dominica still jail people for gay sex with long prison terms.

Instapaper is still going strong.

Apple also has Reading List built into safari and iPhone.

So does the Caribbean and much of the developing world, but like UAE these old laws are still on the books but not enforced. Can you show me an example of death penalty being carried out in UAE for homosexuality in the last few decades?
