Refusing AI is what the Nazi Billionaires want the principled to do. Refuse the perscribed-use of it sure, but the “AI Infringes Copyright” stuff? Besides being settled law but for recent court cases, it’s a distraction.
I figured this out in the first few months. Any other driver I tried explaining this to called me crazy and/or a cheater. I made twice what they did in a third of the drive-time, maybe half the time in my car when you count the time I sat Available while playing on my phone, using indoor bathrooms like a human-being, napping/meditating, or stuffing my face.
Sure buddy, I’m just that jealous of your work-ethic and two-door hatch-back that’s probably seen you reported dozens-of-times over. Super-hacker, liar, lazy fuck; Ya got me dead to rights.
Edit: I only drove passengers for the ride-share companies. Washing my hands enough for anything food related on an on-going basis destroys my skin, and my car is nicely climate-controlled, so …
They would literally make more money by job-hopping in pursuit of such a company, but you’re right. Even a single team that remembers what ethics are is a big ask.
I agree that the things they are saying are non-optional aren’t, and that teams can get too large, resource allocations so large they become a hindrace, etc … but calling being intentional about such things “cheap” just invites Elon-stans and their ilk to give their teams, suppliers, and vendors shit over not magically pulling off the unicorn-trifecta,; Without (paid)overtime, no-less.
Do NOT let people re-define the necessities and trade-offs of price(raw materials, equipment, comforts, safety), pay, team-size, or (excessive)managerial/administrative overhead. In the end, they will have you feeling like you owe them for the opportunity to do the work of five people for peanuts.
If you care to check my comment history, I recently got-into-it for trying to redefine “en-shitification” to include things like tech-debt and planned-obselescence. Really, what irks me is that the one has all-but shut-down conversations about the other two. “That’s just enshittification” or “that’s not enshittification” will get trotted-out whenever needed to bring the conversation away from them, or keep it from moving towards the two, because no-one gets promoted by mentioning any of the three, but enshittification is almost-acceptable water-cooler talk, for the moment, with the bonus that it shames the speaker for cussing.
Wrong take on cheap, and addressed to the wrong party in the system. Efficiency and simplicity are already mandatory for being good, particularly in software.
This is why so many techbros should stick to software, or even better, sales. You are not the user.
Sending telemetry where? My phone? My server?
Exactly.
Its not “the Cloud” if its your own systems from top-to-bottom … More like Remote Play? … Seems Sony, Microsoft, and Valve all use that terminology for Streaming Gameplay from their consoles to another device.
Streaming to another location than where your Server is setup is tricky, mostly due to latency and establishing a connection that doesn’t get throttled(or compromised) by the ISPs involved. Personally, when I tried to get into it, about 10 years ago, I didn’t have the budget for a GPU that could be persuaded to support it at all.
Today, I’m more likely to keep such a server in my vehicle(on Battery/Solar), so its always just a local connection away, if I were to bother with the budget and hassle involved*. Around the house, I’ll just slap a new desktop together where I want to play games, or game on my laptop, and call it done.
*Ideally, I could build this for less than my good laptop would cost to replace, and use something much closer to outright disposable to game outside of my car. In practice, I just bring my good laptop with me everywhere, risk be damned.
I would be more interested in themed favicon sets like on Android or Linux DE’s, and any way that would avoid Google or lock-in/forced updates to such as with the Play store or Windows I would avoid like the plague.
Gimme back .dll’s full of icons I can create and edit to my liking. For modernization, meta-text(url or application name) for each icon instead of referencing “icon #x in this .dll”, and a format more usefull than .dll’s full of icons that all have to be the same size(and .tiff, .giff, or bitmaps at that, when jpeg and vector formats exist), but that’s about it.
All this re-inventing-the-wheel/web2.0/3.0 shit is geared towards creating dependency and lock-in in the stupidest ways possible.
Laziness gets a bad rap, stupidly bad when you look at how work-obsessed many 1st-world countries are, and the effects that has on people’s health, empathy, and the ability to leave well-enough alone.
The Demo-pol is coming. Westworld Season 2 is comming. Can’t wait to see how the expiriment goes “wrong”.
Imagine thinking Tesla has all-that-much in place to prevent those things in a stock configuration. Full-stop, any self-driving is one of the first features anyone trying to disconnect their cars from Tesla servers would lose outright.
I thought their implication was that they would use the WebUI for downloading videos for offline watching later. Beyond that, I don’t really know or care; Their suggestion was weird to me, but I took it at face value and replied accordingly.
I didn’t say I’m satisfied. I just think this comment-section about Plex’s rug-pull isn’t the place for such niche criticism of Jellyfin.
I mean, I bought the Lifetime Plexpass when it was on sale years back, so I have little reason to change my own setup, but I still have even less reason to stan them at Jellyfin’s expense.
Seriously, one is a paid service executing rug-pulls, and the other is a free and open-source project. This level of nit-picking at Jellyfin is a shit stance to take.
Your regular friends are constantly using your Plex server to download files for offline viewing, eh?
I know I’m in the minority, being less afraid of a Nuclear-armed Iran and/or North Korea than the sheer idiocy and malice of US foreign policy, since '98 or so, but it blows my mind more and more how people just can’t see it.
An invasion takes millions of lives, full-stop. There’s no way either country gets enough ICBM’s in the air to offset their entire territories being turned into glass parking lots. The cost-benefits ratio for both sides in all this posturing only makes sense if there’s a shared goal to keep their dictators in power.
I run ffmpeg on my phone. Alternately, I could shrink the file on my server and then download it without much trouble. You’re in a vanishingly small subset of users who know enough to care about file-size and know what can be done about it, but can’t be bothered to do it themselves.
I was avoiding suggesting getting more storage, but it sounds like in your case, keeping a 720p x265 version of each file(~1gb per movie) on-hand would cost you nothing.
They are selling their AI to anyone they can. Their static AI - you can’t actually re-train them in any meaningful fashion. The words “perscribed use” were meant to imply a lot from their spot in the middle of my comment, but they were always there.
