I’m @froztbyte more or less everywhere that matters

plex has decided that it is no longer worth maintaining merely partial tax on those who “want more”, and has decided to continue on their path to become the bridgetroll:
As of April 29, 2025, we’re changing how remote streaming works for personal media libraries, and it will no longer be a free feature on Plex. Going forward, you’ll need a Plex Pass, or our newest subscription offering, Remote Watch Pass, to stream personal media remotely.
As a server owner, if you elect to upgrade to a Plex Pass, anyone with access to your server can continue streaming your server content remotely as part of your subscription benefits. Not sure which option is best for you? Check out our plans below to learn more.
got your own server and networking and happy to stream from your home setup? no more. the extractivist rentlords are hungry.
these people are fucking insufferable
aaaand this from 22h ago: an insta showing what looks like triple (or more) bodies than that first group
guess they feel comfortable that they worked out the launch kinks? but that also definitely is enough people to immediately stress all social structures
found another from early march
trying to follow up on shillrinivasan’s pet project, and it’s … sparse
that “opening ceremony” video which kicked around a couple weeks ago only had low 10s of people there, and this post (one of the few recent things mentioning it that I could find) has photos with a rather stark feature: not a single one of them showing people engaged in Doing Things. the frontpage has a different photo, and I count ~36 people there?
even the coworking semicubicles look utterly fucking garbage
anyone seen anything more recent?
as a thing both parallel and tangent to usual sneerjects, this semafor article is kinda notable
I’ll try gather previous dm sneers here later, but some things that stood out:
no idea, sorry. “find some wordpals online” maybe but then you need to also deal with the vetting/safety issue
it’s just so fucking frustrating
I’ve logged a support ticket.
after I’ve previously posted this and this, an update: both the memrise browser version and the iOS app now have “chat to a buddy” as a non-skipable step in course iteration
the “buddy” is a chatbot of unclear provenance. this page mentions “MemBot - powered by AI” at the top, which is a link to this zendesk page, but that’s a dead link
so it looks like duolingo is planning to become damage to be routed around
From: The Sentry Team <noreply@sentry.io>
Subject: Update to Sentry’s List of Subprocessors
...
- Google LLC (Google Cloud Services) and OpenAI, L.L.C. are now reflected as subprocessors for all Sentry products, instead of select features only; and
- Anthropic, PBC is now added as a subprocessor.
sigh
they do still have user-specified controls (and appear to respect them), but… sigh
which reminds me, I’ve wanted to post this as a NASB
haha I was just about to post this after seeing it too
must be a great feather to add into the cap along with all the recent silicon issues
gotta make sure to catch that wave before the air goes outta the balloon
(I should be clear, they based “their” thing on the “not steve”… but, well…)
I bring you: this
they based their entire public support/response/community/social/everything program on that
for years
okay look, I wanna be quite fair to this comment
and that starts with first apologising to you for what I’m about to do, which is engage in one of the worst social patterns and false logic modes of engagement that plagues forums
so I just gotta ask you: what the fuck made you choose that abominably shitty semi-clone of a rust emblem? good god. do better.
breathe
okay. with that out of the way. on to the meat.
I’m sorry you fuckin wot m8?
did you ever fucking pay any attention whatsoever to the details here? are you so fucking thoroughly up your own goddamn ass that you do not see the problem here?
holy fucking christ in a tapdancing duet with the devil, how did you think this post of yours was an okay one to make?
dhh having a normal one
