It’s a reference to South Park’s S27E01 episode.

Tea was storing its users’ sensitive information on Firebase, a Google-owned backend cloud storage and computing service.

Every time. With startups, it’s always an unsecured Firebase or S3 bucket.

Protesting against christofascists in the government isn’t mutually exclusive with protesting a christofascist censorship organization. You can protest two things at once, you know.

If we’re adding “runs from people trying to ask them questions”, we should be more accurate about it.

runs from people trying to ask them questions, calling them plants put there by political opponents

Democratic governments should allow all voices to be heard, not silence speech they dislike.

That’s real fucking rich coming from the government that:

• Removed all references to “trans-” regardless of context.
• Retaliates against left-leaning press.
• Calls information they dislike “fake news”.
• Sends immigrants to concentration camps.

Aside from anticheat BS, Linux has come pretty far. It’s not perfect, but it’s not the frustrating mess like it used to be half a decade ago.

Switching to TempleOS made me hear the voices again.

Do you have HDR monitors? If you do and care about having the HDR part working, you’ll likely want to pick one that uses KDE Plasma for the desktop environment.

3.1% NixOS… that’s barely a step below Debian at 3.4%. Is Nix really that popular?

going after trump’s businesses will probably avoid a military response

More likely, it makes the poor baby (-hands) cry and throw a tantrum. Being the malignant narcissist he is, he thinks the resources of the United States government are entirely at his disposal. With that in mind, he’s absolutely going to demand a military response to any attacks on his businesses.

Whether saner heads prevail, all we can do is hope.

One instance? There’s at least two. But does that really matter? Reddit had r/TheDonald and r/conservative, and trying to get those people to fuck off and stop proselytizing elsewhere was like trying to play whack-a-mole against an anthill.

Here, you block the tankie instances and move on with your life.

Might be. It is definitely a thing, though.

When I used to work for a large American corporation that sold products to consumers, they took it extremely seriously and breaking it would result in disciplinary action. It probably had something to do with advertisement laws, but it also easily could have just been because it makes the company look very bad.

one place even asked people to write fake reviews on Trustpilot/job sites

That sounds unethical, to say the least. Did they verify if you actually did it, or just “suggest” you do?

Corporations drill it deep into your head that you do not positively promote your own products or negatively review competitor products without both making it clear that you (1) work for $Corp; and (2) are sharing your own, personal opinion.

Giving the benefit of the doubt to Plex, they suck at training employees about social media policies.

plus these are benches too it looks like

This part is the most surprising. For something meant to go in urban areas, where’s the hostile architecture? No railings between seats? No spikes?

I prefer removing the -french language pack on every install. The command comes with a typo though, so you need to fix that for it by adding /* at the end

They’re not generic adapters if they support the Switch. The Switch was intentionally designed to not work with generic USB C to HDMI adapters, and they did it by adding additional negotiation steps before the Switch would enter DisplayPort alt mode.

Oh, interesting. I knew something was off about the place when I kept seeing anti-“woke” conservative opinion pieces posted there, but I thought it was just a bunch of MAGA morons voluntarily role-playing as “independent” “journalists”.

I actually jumped ship a while back. I agree that Plex is a business and they do deserve to get paid for development and infrastructure costs, but it’s the blatant enshitification that I have a big issue with.

They chose to lock a previously-free feature behind a paywall for everybody and asked for even more money to get it back. The less shitty alternative would have been to ask only the users who needed to use the relays to purchase a Plex Pass. Or, if they wanted to make it seem like a positive thing, they could have made the new subscription into an “enhanced quality” remote streaming experience that enabled higher bitrates over relays.

They gave their users the middle finger by picking the most transparently greedy option that they could get away with justifying.
