Oh boy, I shared the spacebar news article a year ago or so and was hit by a shitstorm of indignant comments.

I have offered logins to a couple family and they just say hmm, never heard of it, sounds illegal and don't use it lol

Yes, it took me a long time to figure it out. Which is why Plex feels comfortable charging for it

Yes, it does introduce insecurity, so not for everyone. I have it behind a domain on cloudflare (let's encrypt cert) with nginx reverse proxy

I just confirmed it has it. You need to be on the same subnet, which is why VPN won't work. But then everything shows up as castable

It is enshittification for sure. At the core it makes sense to not have it free, since dynamic DNS is not free. However it is a very small cost

IIRC it has it. Not if you're behind VPN or a tunnel. Only over HTTPS.

I use an Nividia shield that I've had for about 5 years. Have an alternate ad free launcher enabled. Still works really well. I use it mostly with Kodi streaming from SMB, some Jellyfin though I have Jellyfin hosted on a Pi4 so video quality is somewhat lacking. The 4k upscaling still works very well and is somewhat unique among streaming boxes

The point is that you can move elsewhere without losing access. There is no central control

Exactly. The right's claim that they're fighting DEI to restore merit is merely a smokescreen. These people believe that low melanin content is a precondition of merit

I am still on some meta services because my family is there. But I only post stuff relevant to those people. Everything else is fediverse and bluesky

I hope other things happen to them that I will leave unsaid

People should be leaving Reddit. They are poor stewards of our content for innumerable reasons. Go back to forums. Go to Lemmy. The key thing is that we should not have centralized arbiters of our discussions online.

As an American, it used to be fossil fuels. I'd go elsewhere and it'd be 3x the price. But lately we seem to be catching up. One thing where we're still likely cheaper are high-end electronics. At least, it looks like the iPhone is still cheaper in the US than almost anywhere else. I remember living abroad a few years ago, colleagues would ask if I could buy an iPhone or Mac on Christmas break and bring it back to them lol

They put out plenty of content about the US's flaws and failures

Journalists need to be paid. Ad revenue is in freefall, and it never really supported long form content that doesn't endorse a product. If you want real news, it has to be paid for somehow.

I am not optimistic. Kevin Rose spent the last few years doing crypto/NFT nonsense, and is now on the AI train. Plus, link aggregators have tried to double down on AI with mixed results. See the example of Artifact, which crashed and burned just last year. There is no business model for this, and if there were, I wouldn't trust Kevin Rose to deliver it. I say this as someone who was a massive Digg/Revision3/Diggnation fan as a teenager but grew disillusioned.

The article discusses that. This is bringing the EUs approach to Brazil

This is why LLMs are not appropriate for applications where regular syntax is needed, like calling an API. I don't understand why they made the LLM the first step, handing it off to the old hard coded Google assistant second, rather than the other way around. Having everything go through the LLM first is wasteful, slow and unpredictable. I am very confused about Google's decision here

I completely agree. It is likely a constitutional amendment will be needed to institute a wealth tax/ceiling. But it is needed, for national security. The centre cannot hold.
