Yeah it’s more than likely the same people doing it all the time.

Edit: either that or AI bots farming information from Lemmy to feed their databases.

Lifetime pass, it still works well so why would I switch?

Turn off history on youtube. From that point on you will only get shorts from the people you’re actually subscribed to and nothing else.

Oh and even with history turned off when you start a regular video from one of your favored creators, the sidebar will continue to suggest videos from other people you are not subscribed to. So you will not be completely isolated. But it will tone down the brain rot considerably.

How much you want to bet some billionaire bought them on the down low? Because they’ve been working fine with this FSFE for 15 years and now all of a sudden this is something that they require? It’s very suspicious.

And the Fediverse continues unabated. That’s the beauty of it.

This potential dilemma just further highlights that cloud-connected devices should be enhanced by connectivity, not reliant on it.

This should be everyone’s takeaway.

The problem isn’t the company possibly going out of business, its the loss of online service nerfing the device that is the real issue.

I mean, bugs are bugs. It’s not like Google makes them they are there.

No but there are big bugs and small bugs and it sound like Google’s AI bug finder is flooding them with small bugs that don’t effect the security or end product so much. But some unpaid volunteer from FFMpeg has to check them all out regardless. And Google getting pissy about it doesn’t help.

That’s the point. If your business has to create a mountain of un-recyclable trash in order to thrive, it should absolutely fail.

Holy shit this is so unbelievably full featured it’s not even funny. This is going to rattle some big names. I wonder how long till they try to shut it down because it’s better than anything commercially available.

Are you using the free version of Plex or the paid for version?

It’s the recent “We all hate Plex now” because they implemented a price in regards to the way we access content remotely because it was costing them too much to maintain for free. So anything that smells even remotely like they are trying to make money is getting the shocked and dismayed reaction. Usually followed by a dozen or so people talking about how they’ve ditch Plex ages ago for a truly free platform like jellyfin/Kodi/etc.

LoL, my side hurts from laughing because of how true this is. 😂😂😂

Probably Firefox. Firefox handles video like shit.

Mostly it’s a Word doc with extra steps.
