I started with Plex because it was an installable app on my NAS. It worked great with a Roku stick that was given to me. Same for a TV that had the Plex client. It works well for the others in the house. I got a Plex pass on sale a few years ago.
I’d like to switch to Jellyfin, but would need to find the client for 2 TVs and deal with the complaints if it doesn’t work exactly like Plex.
Check out the 6th frame again. That seems to be the author’s viewpoint.
In my interpretation, it’s less about “AI is bad” and more about an employer’s need to turn employees into mindless instruction-following drones. It overlaps a bit with Doctrow’s thought that your boss wants to replace you with AI not because it’s better or faster, but because you will tell her/him that they’re an idiot for doing something stupid.
TL;DR: humans have free will and were born to create and impart their ideas upon the world, not blindly follow instructions.
Ask them if their employer paid for their retirement (pension). Ask if they were repeatedly laid off because the work can be done [poorly] cheaper in another country. Ask if they were union.
Many companies used to be loyal to their employees and vice versa. That is all but gone now and the companies cry that nobody is loyal.
I thought it was, “feed a fever, starve a flu”, because you probably shouldn’t eat much when you can’t keep anything down.
Yes, often. Between being in the car a lot since RTO mandates and being alone in the house a lot and needing to have some noise to help me focus on the task at hand, the radio is on a lot.
I have the advantage of a great, local, non-profit radio station with real, local DJs that just talk normal. They play an abundance of local and emerging artists alongside classic artists. Since it’s non-profit, there are no commercials other than a “sponsored by” message from time to time.
Ibfind it ironic that to put an animal out of it’s misery is called being “humane” though to do it to another person is called “homicide”.
I think the general point is that the financial hurt that I can put on a company is peanuts compared to someone with deep pockets (ie: shareholders & businesses). Even if I were to get all my friends, family and direct coworkers to alter a shopping behaviour, it’s unlikely to result in any change.
On the other hand, if I were to take that same group and be able to pressure my political representatives to do something about it (as we frequently see in California), then something may change. Similarly, me quitting my job out of disgust with a non-recycling policy won’t get any attention, but if I can get my union to take it up, then the company will listen.
TL;DR: a person can’t make change, a group of people can.
I used it this year to write my performance self-review. It successfully turned my usual rambling but valid accomplishments into management friendly synergistic paradigms, saving me the anguish of doing it myself.
From Wallet Voting by Cory Doctrow:
Wallet-votes always go to the people with the thickest wallets, and statistically, that is not you.
It doesn’t mean to keep shopping at Amazon if you hate their business practices, it just means that you & your friends won’t have any impact on Amazon’s business policies.
Granted, you’d be a hypocrite, so definitely don’t shop where you hate, but don’t expect a giant corp to change.
You captured the equipment at a great angle but the clouds make this picture so much more dramatic.
Is this why I’m blinded at night by oncoming vehicles? I just assumed that everyone just started driving with the hi-beams on all of a sudden.
There are lots of good suggestions here, but I found that putting my access point up high helped immensely. I did it when painting a room and noticed better coverage in places that were not so good before.
As a kid, me and a friend bought the game “Leisure Suit Larry” or one of the sequels. It included an age check because of adult content. After asking our age, which we dutifully entered as 19, it would ask questions that only an adult would know, like “who was the US president in 1962?” We would research these questions in my friend’s encyclopedia to play the game.
Now, I have all this trivia knowledge in my head due to my childhood quest to see highly pixelated cartoon boobies in 640x480 resolution.
A girl. An ultimatum. I left. We’ve been married 26 years.
I win.
Agreed 100%. Enable parents, even not tech savvy parents, to parent. Ultimately, if the parent wants their kid to do whatever, they’ll just create an adult account for their kid. Do we really want the government parenting our kids? Sure, it may be an improvement for some, but it’s a slippery slope and could lead to a Brave New World.
Many of the older games suffer from bad graphics but the game play still holds up. I played OpenRA with some friends at a good old fashioned LAN party when we all didn’t have computers that could play the latest games or budget issues to purchase the latest games. We set up in different rooms to form teams and it was super fun. A side benefit is that nobody had all the maps, hints and cheats memorized so we were on equal footing.
You’re welcome.
It’s the smell of daemons leaving your body.
God bless you.
I have something similar to host paths with node selectors: an NFS provisioner for PVs. The provisioner is tied to the node with the large disk. It’s not resilient to node outages, but allows me to spread pods across the nodes. For my deployments, I’m preferring to use S3 storage wherever possible.
I’ve struggles with shots like these. How do you not let the sun overtake the background while showing the plant in such detail? Mine either have the plant in a silouette or the background completely white. In this shot, both seem to have good detail & coloring.
