dhh having a normal one
(got this as a mail, didnāt immediately see a link in the mail to a published post for this)
plex has decided that it is no longer worth maintaining merely partial tax on those who āwant moreā, and has decided to continue on their path to become the bridgetroll:
As of April 29, 2025, weāre changing how remote streaming works for personal media libraries, and it will no longer be a free feature on Plex. Going forward, youāll need a Plex Pass, or our newest subscription offering, Remote Watch Pass, to stream personal media remotely.
As a server owner, if you elect to upgrade to a Plex Pass, anyone with access to your server can continue streaming your server content remotely as part of your subscription benefits. Not sure which option is best for you? Check out our plans below to learn more.
got your own server and networking and happy to stream from your home setup? no more. the extractivist rentlords are hungry.
these people are fucking insufferable
aaaand this from 22h ago: an insta showing what looks like triple (or more) bodies than that first group
guess they feel comfortable that they worked out the launch kinks? but that also definitely is enough people to immediately stress all social structures
found another from early march
trying to follow up on shillrinivasanās pet project, and itās ⦠sparse
that āopening ceremonyā video which kicked around a couple weeks ago only had low 10s of people there, and this post (one of the few recent things mentioning it that I could find) has photos with a rather stark feature: not a single one of them showing people engaged in Doing Things. the frontpage has a different photo, and I count ~36 people there?
even the coworking semicubicles look utterly fucking garbage
anyone seen anything more recent?
as a thing both parallel and tangent to usual sneerjects, this semafor article is kinda notable
Iāll try gather previous dm sneers here later, but some things that stood out:
no idea, sorry. āfind some wordpals onlineā maybe but then you need to also deal with the vetting/safety issue
itās just so fucking frustrating
Iāve logged a support ticket.
after Iāve previously posted this and this, an update: both the memrise browser version and the iOS app now have āchat to a buddyā as a non-skipable step in course iteration
the ābuddyā is a chatbot of unclear provenance. this page mentions āMemBot - powered by AIā at the top, which is a link to this zendesk page, but thatās a dead link
so it looks like duolingo is planning to become damage to be routed around
From: The Sentry Team <noreply@sentry.io>
Subject: Update to Sentryās List of Subprocessors
...
- Google LLC (Google Cloud Services) and OpenAI, L.L.C. are now reflected as subprocessors for all Sentry products, instead of select features only; and
- Anthropic, PBC is now added as a subprocessor.
sigh
they do still have user-specified controls (and appear to respect them), but⦠sigh
which reminds me, Iāve wanted to post this as a NASB
haha I was just about to post this after seeing it too
must be a great feather to add into the cap along with all the recent silicon issues
gotta make sure to catch that wave before the air goes outta the balloon
(I should be clear, they based ātheirā thing on the ānot steveā⦠but, wellā¦)
(caveats: ianal, and not familiar enough with US corp law)
took a brief look at this last night and no, donāt think it entirely kills it. theyāre changing two notable things: one is converting from whatever they are into a Public Benefit Corp, and the second is turning their weirdo ownership thing into actual stock
while those AG paragraphs do indeed indicate that they got told to get fucked, perverse incentives still apply and saltman still needs to try find a way out of the squeeze theyāre in. donāt think theyād be doing either of those changes if they didnāt see a possible path to exploiting it
