  • I have had a plex instance but when they started adding their own movies and crapola into it, and requiring logins and etc etc etc I started keeping a Jellyfin instance live as a hedge. I still use Plex primarily, but use Jellyfin and keep it patched just in case. If there’s any kind of ugly action with Plex, I feel like my bets are pretty well hedged. Plex definitely has a lot more polish than Jellyfin, but I wouldn’t doubt if there is a rug-pull in some way or another. After all, Plex sold a bunch of lifetime subscriptions ONCE but they still end up paying to support those. Sooner or later they are going to want more money again.




  • Good. At this point reddit is just a weak sauce place for bots/marketers to post where other bots/marketers scrape them. It’s rumored that 10% of their revenue is from content deals with Google. At this point, most of the interesting communities on reddit have gone elsewhere and it’s long ago jumped the shark.

    It’s clear that the corporate goons in charge are busy just trying to squeeze any remaining nickles out of the userbase. At this rate it won’t be long before a private equity firm buys reddit and you start seeing articles “Reddit: what happened?”

    Too bad, it was a site that used to be so good and was sold out 5 ways to Monday and the corporate overlords have fucked it again. At least lemmy is around… it doesn’t have the scale of reddit but it’s way better in a lot of ways already.








  • Folks, let me tell you, the deal of a lifetime is waiting for our Palestinian friends! You don’t want to miss out on this incredible opportunity. Imagine leaving Gaza and moving to a place where everything is better—like really, really better than before.

    Just think about it, folks. Gaza has been through some tough times, but we’ve got a solution that’s going to make your lives so much better. You’ll have more opportunities, better jobs, and the best of everything. It’s like a real estate deal that just can’t be beaten.

    Now, I know some people are worried about Jordan and Egypt not being on board, but believe me, they’re just jealous of how great this deal is. They don’t want to admit it, but deep down, they’re envious. You don’t need their approval because you’re already winning with this move.

    So don’t hold back, folks! This is your chance to make things huge. You’re going to love it, and so will everyone else. It’s going to be tremendous!

    P.S. If you’re on the fence, just think about it—what do you have to lose? The best deal in history is waiting for you, and it’s not going to be around forever. Make the move while you can!


  • The interesting part of the story is not so much that Tesla is losing – it’s who is winning. Electric vehicles are in MASSIVE demand throughout the world. The USA has responded more or less by putting an iron curtain in place against BETTER electric vehicles produced elsewhere. Sure, our governments use some scary words around Chinese imports, but look at their cars in isolation, especially BYD. By almost any metric you can imagine, BYD products are superior. The USA is temporarily putting their head in the sand about China. However, make no mistake, in other markets where there is FAIR competition, America’s lunch is getting eaten. This cannot go on forever. Hopefully our US auto producers get their heads out of their ass and start competing instead of relying on tariffs to level the playing field. Tarriffs can make Tesla competitive domestically, but if you want to dominate the world, this is almost certainly not the way forward.
