cause meet effect

I can’t believe investors were OK with him selling twitter to another company he co-owns.

Sounds like a small claims court case or something. Abhorrent.

When was the last time you saw a “wall” erected on a freeway that was perfectly painted to mimic the current time of day, road, weather, etc. I’m not talking about for that example, i’m talking about in the real world.

The answer is never.

Yes, the optical sensors are fooled by an elaborate ruse that doesn’t exist in real world operating conditions on a highway.

I still argue that for most normal driving circumstances, it is massively safer than humans who malfunction constantly.

I will never, ever buy a tesla so long as felon musk has any ownership in it whatsoever. The guy is irredeemable. Still have way more faith in self driving tech overall (industry wide) than human drivers though. That’s the work of engineers, not an asshole.

It’s all about the whole dunning-kruger effect where most just know nothing despite thinking otherwise, right?

I think the fair comparison would be humans that drive legally.

Humans don’t drive legally. I don’t believe for a second there is a human on this planet who has never violated a rule of the road. The easy default is that we all speed.

Who hasn’t done a rolling stop at a stop sign? Taken a turn they legally shouldn’t have? (No U turns? lol) Taken a right on red when it says not to but there’s literally nobody around?

Cell phones are mostly illegal everywhere while driving and if you look around almost everyone is staring at them.

This mythical person who never, ever does anything against the rules is impossible.

I hate felon musk but I honestly believe their self driving tech is safer than humans.

Have you seen the average human? They’re beyond dumb. If they’re in cars it’s like the majority of htem are just staring at their cell phones.

I don’t think self driving tech works in all circumstances, but I bet it is already much better than humans at most driving, especially highway driving.

now replace chatgpt with these terms, one by one:

• the internet
• google
• facebook
• instagram
• tiktok
• reddit
• lemmy
• their cell phone
• news media
• television
• radio
• podcasts
• junk food
• money

Reddit didn’t grow in it’s early days like it does today. To use an analogy for what you’re saying: think of a snowball rolling down a mountain and turning into an avalanche. It’s easy to forget that the snowball started it.

We don’t really have a choice, unfortunately.

This platform has the downside of day 1 bots, unlike reddit of yore.

Don’t worry, the enshittification of both is proceeding well.

Replacements are inevitable in time. This one is growing.

I think most people probably have a lifetime plex pass for their plex server, or they are using alternative servers.

Lifetime pass grants licenses to all clients, at least it used to unless this changes that.

My server has many users and nobody has paid anything aside from my original buy of $120 in 2019. So far that comes out to about $1.67/mo for unlimited users and unlimited updates.

I’m not saying I really like the updates though. I think they should have remained slim, but someone is trying to make more and more money by branching out into bullshit beyond private media serving. All that trash should be separate products that are divorced from the private media server / client product.

All this being said, check out Jellyfin, little reason to use plex over it for private media but it has some limitations if you need subtitles or cannot relocate file structures.

Jellyfin is absolute dogshit though.

Sauce: I just installed it on my media server that concurrently runs plex. I run the app on a fire tv cube to use it… and it crashes* constantly.

Edit: More stuff :)

-My media library when imported immediately showed seasons of shows as separate shows, it doesn’t intelligently automatically merge it like Plex would.

-Subtitle options are not consistent or robust. I MUST have subtitles due to having a multilingual family which is largely ESL, if they speak English at all. This is the problem I tried moving to jellyfin to fix.

not that long ago, a single working man could provide for a house, 2 cars, a wife and 2.5 kids.

While women worked for pennies on the dollar, people of color weren’t allowed to go to school with white people and women didn’t go to college, they went to secretarial school. Plus tons of people were dying from all manner of health conditions because there were no regulations for practically anything.

The “golden days” have some serious nostalgia but they were far more fucked up than people remember. Buying a home from 0 has always been like living in poverty for almost everybody in the US. Only the top earners have ever had vast excess of earnings.

When houses were 35k people were making $3500/year or much, much less.

Didn’t he just make stupid billions from his ponzi coin scheme?

allegedly influencing the 2024 election

Where are the damages again?

There’s tons of alternatives out there now that are as good or better.

If he gets it then clearly it will be the Confederate States ChatGPT.

Good thing I pirate all their shit already if I want it.

I stopped paying for Amazon Prime over a year ago once they announced similar bullshit with their video service.

Once Disney dropped subscription sharing… I started downloading their shit too.

Now i’m left with Netflix and Crunchyroll. I’m this close to axing netflix. Crunchyroll is kinda shit but at least it’s cheap.

This almost certainly will go nowhere.

Good to know that our elected officials in the legislative branch are no longer able to create laws that are actually enacted.

This shit is outside the scope of the presidency.

Can confirm, lead feasted.
