Marketing really has just ran away with everything. I wonder what they’ll rename the console as

I landed on digital ocean. Fair prices for a vpc and a reliable name

Yikes. Good luck to you, noble goals, but there are real consequences for even unknowingly hosting that content.

Good intentions, but I would be wary of anything not official like foldingathome or boinc (both great projects I recommend)

The reason is other people are horrible, and while your intentions are good, it’s significant risk. Lemmy had a csam attack a while ago and I immediately moved my instance to the cloud because I learned that if I even accidentally hosted anything it means immediate seizure, self hosting it means they plow through my door and yank the servers.

Tor nodes, peertube, you open yourself up to that risk

That guy is the woooorst

Pocket has helped millions save articles and discover stories worth reading

It did?

we’re channeling our resources into projects that better match their browsing habits and online needs.

So other things no one asked for?

Idk, I’ve heard things about HooliChat… Didn’t their stream go down in the middle of a big title fight?

I run Bazzite, primarily gaming for everything, added jellyfin as a non steam app. Works pretty well. Wish jellyfin had a slightly better interface but overall decent.

Most everything works with the controller, and for anything that doesn’t steam will emulate a keyboard and mouse for, but I keep a keyboard next to it just in case

Agreed, these are two different things meant for two different purposes. At this point nothing beats audiobookshelf

Unfortunately shows that even if you are rich, it doesn’t mean you know how to manage money well. I’ve always been conflicted about Britney for the conservatorship. Looking at this shows why. Her family were not acting in her best interests, but she also (still) does not know how to manage that fortune either. Most of these (let’s admit) kids who are suddenly wealthy do not understand how money works.

Even with a failed your, he should have enough money to recover and live very comfortably the rest of his life without ever dreaming of selling his catalogue. But, spending as he did, well, here we are

From the forum post:

Just because he works at Plex doesn’t necessarily make his review fake.

Yikes the copium here. Reviews are meant for users of the app, this is so incredibly biased and in bad taste. I have had my shittiest companies ask us to leave positive reviews on Glassdoor. The shittiest ones.

Maybe their big redesign that no one asked for isn’t doing well, and this is a self preservation thing, to get more people to download it. Maybe CEO asked them to. Maybe they’re just over eager. All are excuses and not valid reasons to give a rating on your own company’s product

Honestly have to agree. I was skeptical on your take until I read his blog post. I see zero reflection on it. Instead I see blame and anger, and yes frustration.

Look, the market is trash, but there are jobs for those willing to learn. He mentions php. Php hasn’t been relevant for new jobs for a while. The only time I mention my php knowledge is it it’s in reference to an older project I did. He mentions he’s kept up on AI by “reading HN and articles” and then saying he has 5 projects he has essentially vibe coded it sounds like. That’s not keeping up with AI from a software engineering standpoint. That’s just using AI tools and reading articles. Keeping up with AI from an engineering standpoint to me is using their apis, running models, training your own models. Go under the surface, show curiosity.

We work in a field where a fundamental requirement is to keep learning. It’s very easy to get comfortable in a role and not learn anything new, but you’ll get stuck there. If you have unemployment learn every library you can. Learn Rust, Go, random languages. Choose the packages you don’t know very well to build your app. Deploy your app yourself, learn CI/CD and infrastructure. Don’t stand still.

I’m a dotnet engineer now. Right now that means I’m 40% dotnet, python, nosql, kubernetes, and React. 5 years ago I was Angular. 10 years ago I was php and webforms. You can’t just say “I learned to code, I’m done!”. In this field it’s never done.

Edit, I also want to call out two other red flags from him. He’s unemployed but the thought of in office was a red line for him? I prefer WFH of course, but if it’s door dashing or an office, it’s a no brainer. Then also if you have that many connections on LinkedIn and no one will vouch for you, that’s a moment of introspection. I won’t say all or even a majority I would expect to help out for me, but I have a decent network. You have to keep that up

I’m not saying every three months, but after 5-7 years like me, it’s probably just a good idea. Who knows what devices have the passwords saved on it still

Oh this is going to be amazing

I appreciate they took the time to do this. Still though, when was the last time you changed your steam password? Regardless of this it never hurts to update it

I honestly wonder if they sped up season 2 not because they thought it’d get cancelled or go stale but because since it was successful Disney wanted more control over it. It’s already come out Tony Gilroy was butting more heads with execs for season 2. He seems like he would want to go out his way.

With that being said, maybe not 5, but I think 3 would have been perfect

Made by and for douchebags. Honestly if they actually wanted to make a little truck that was an EV I would have been all over it. Just something small to haul some dirt or lumber for home projects. I don’t want a giant f150, I want some danger ranger size or smaller for light projects. I think that could have been very popular.

Which makes sense on paper to a corporate board, what I love is how ironically the less risky means more boring, and that we’re finally seeing people not showing up to boring repetitive slop. Iron man and the MCU started as a risk, and they had interesting new storylines. Now it’s boring safe slop

I’ve wondered if they planned on Andor flopping and we’re going to just doa season trial run, or it came at the time they were greenlighting everything star wars. There’s no way it should have slipped through marketing, legal, the feel good police, but it did, and I’m very grateful for Tony Gilroy telling the story he wanted
