I see more and I become more aware, which leads me to do research on competing brands if it’s something I want.
If I only saw ads for GM I’d wonder why they suck so much that they need to push so many ads for people to buy their vehicles. My comfort with a brand/product relies in the experience I’ve had with them along with word of mouth from friends and reviews for it.
The world would be a much better place if everyone was autistic, probably lol
Yup, doesn’t matter where the data centres are - a contract is only as trustworthy as the person or company you signed it with. Throwing all your government and medical and everything else docs on somebody else’s computer with a “trust me bro” privacy statement seems like a recipe for disaster.
Not to mention that it feels like Microslop only makes Copilot vibecoded slopware.
Remember when the world wasn’t fucked up and Microsoft got spanked just for including IE in the OS? Look at the shit these fucks get away with now.
I will never understand how advertisements pay for things… Like who’s out there thinking “hell yeah, I really want to support this shit that’s interrupting everything I try to do every few minutes!” The stuff that people do buy that are advertised to them I always assumed were things they’d buy anyway like junk food and snacks.
He’s the chair of the gym club, why would you doubt his regimen?
How long until it’s bypassed by gifs/3D models and a virtual webcam?
Meanwhile I get all sorts of password reset and MFA calls/texts/emails/notifications from people trying to break into my account in countries that I have never been to and are nowhere near me.
Cool cool
The AI part might be new, but major subreddits were forcing people to freeboot content for years. I tried calling it out, but apparently I was the one in the wrong lmao
That might work too, but making it more difficult to access would mean fewer basic users accelerating its destruction lol. Ideally we need to move tech back to the enthusiasts who actually understand and care about it
Lol seems easy as fuck to obfuscate, especially when you’re dealing with an old telnet style system
This is why gatekepeeping hobbies isn’t necessarily a bad thing. When outsiders become more numerous than the enthusiasts, the whole thing goes to shit.
I find it hard to believe you’re constantly learning when you turn away from something as simple as Jellyfin for being “too hard” and consider Apple products to be user friendly…
No lol. The basic setup is: you point it to your libraries, it does the rest. Just like Plex.
Connecting remotely is maybe slightly trickier since you have to open it up to the internet, or just run tailscale.
Jellyfin is complicated? It’s easier to get going than Plex IMO. It might be slightly trickier to access it outside of your home network but even that’s not all that hard, just set up tailscale
You’re not supposed to answer, you’re supposed to re-read your stupid comment and realize how wrong you are, then fix it? I’m not looking for an echo chamber, I’m looking for stupid users to stop being stupid before tech gets completely ruined by them all.
Can’t we just go back to BBSing? Improve the tech behind it to improve security, and problem solved. It’s too complicated for the normies to use and allow further enshitification from lol
I remember playing Rock’n’Roll Racing with my friend over 56K modem back in like 2002… It’s existed for a while lol
Plex and Jellyfin are basically like having your own Netflix built off your own media library. Plex offers a bunch of extra crap for a premium though.
People like him are why gatekepeeping hobbies isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Once the flood of normies comes in, they outnumber the passionate ones and it all goes downhill from there.
