In an effort to lift everybody’s spirits, Zuckerberg offered to host a company-wide hackathon an attempt at a lighthearted diversion that landed with a thud among employees.

lmao “Hey, you guys wanna work more, but ‘for fun’?”

News to me they’re joining forces, but that’s extremely exciting!

Tells me that AI was already ingrained in the process. Reeks of “well, we’re doing it here & here, why not with her voice, too?”

He’s programmed to waffle when he becomes unpopular enough.

Huh. I’m unclear on what law he might’ve broken. It’s definitely an eyebrow-raiser to be storing that much cash in your mattress, but I didn’t catch what was “wrong” about it.

Not quite - the regime is bending over backwards for people it feels it can control. They don’t care about the privileged people leaving, just that there are enough bodies left to fight wars & work.

Thank you for the explanation! Makes sense to me.

I’ve been trying to get on ripping my dvd library, but some of this stuff flies over my head:

Can you give me a gist on what a “remux” is & why you prefer it over encoding it? From the context it seems like it’s similar to lossless vs lossy codecs for audio?

… well, at some point any hobby grows to the point where purists show up.

There’s give and take with everything. Is it “self” hosted if you rely on Docker - a 3rd party with control over their own infrastructure? Or hosting it on a Debian OS? Is it really “private” if it’s connected to the internet at all?

Are you running the Plex Server application on some hardware so other devices can access the library? Hey, that’s self-hosting. That’s it.

Still a better outcome than when a fireworks show “glitches”.

I’m in the throes of attempting a migration from Plex (lifetime pass, here) to Jellyfin, and my main issue is echoed elsewhere: It’s a headache to set up secure external access. My users would either need a new account through some auth gate I’d have to set up & manage, or I’d have to wire everyone up through wireguard or something they’d have to remember a password for and blah blah blah.

Plex is the only thing my home server is sharing. I don’t have anything directly exposed to the external internet. In any case I can think of, doing this “right” means extra steps (on top of new steps) for my current users, plus new security concerns & added user management for myself.

I really don’t understand it. I’ve played a little of both Dota & LoL and it’s the same group of miserable pricks. Is there a moba that doesn’t have a lethally toxic player base?

Thing is, I remember a time when getting cosmetic surgery / Botox was the “I’d never do that” thing. Now it’s getting harder to find people in the public eye who haven’t had it.

I think all it’d take is Google/Apple/Meta/MS to normalize the requirement.

Because it makes the big line go up. Anything to prove that “AI” is anything other than a dumb series of if/then statements.

Again

In a statement, Ambani said: “They are living, sentient beings, and if we have the ability to save them through a safe and humane solution, we have a responsibility to try.”

Eat the rich, but maybe save this dude for last.

No joke, great mod.

Don’t be scared. Fuck around a bit.

I like the cut of their jib.

It’s bananas how Terraria keeps getting updates. Looking forward to yet another play through.
