  • Plex could be held liable as a vicarious enabler of infringement. Your suggestion that they turn a blind eye would endanger their very existence. Of course they are going to capitulate. It's a wonder they still exist as it is.

  • Likewise, there is a level of stupidity here that I also will not engage with further. Peace, bruh.

  • If you don't vote, you forfeit the right to bitch and moan. Not like that would stop you, of course, but it is the height of entitlement to abstain from the democratic process while expecting any kind of personally desired outcome.

  • Yes, it's called a diff and git was designed with exactly this workflow in mind because it's how the Linux kernel has been developed for decades. GitHub is just a new fangled way to social network-ize the git workflow.

  • This is crazy. At work, collecting PII about data subjects is merely a tangential thing that happens in the course of rendering services and we are super careful not to run afoul of GDPR. Is reddit truly running roughshod over the law like this? Why the hell do they think they can get away with it?

  • Wouldn't you know, there are still hard feelings in parts of the US about what happened, and the fight is still fought. And Jim Crow and segregation weren't protectors of large amounts of wealth and power, just social structures and power in urban enclaves. You're going to face a hell of a lot more resistance with what you propose. This would be more akin to the end of slavery than the end of Jim Crow, and that took a civil war.

  • "Possible" and "likely" are quite different concepts. I am in New England. If this would be likely anywhere, it would be here. But that doesn't matter, because there are plenty of other regions who will fight to the death against such changes. Please, do describe a path forward. I do not see one in my lifetime. We are talking about the national stage, not a homeowner's association somewhere.

  • Except none of what you suggest will ever happen. Ever. Republicans obstruct even the actual work of governing that desperately needs doing and that would, oddly enough, help their cause in the democratic realm (i.e. showing their constituents they can get things done). Why would they do anything that would basically destroy their party with two strokes of a pen? Same goes for the Democrats, for what it's worth, but getting rid of first-past-the-post and subjecting the US to proportional representation and coalition governments is even more of a pipe dream.

  • It's fine, I'm sure all the maggots will just hand-wave this away and focus on the true work of governing, starting with impeaching Mayorkas.

  • If they build the infra, I'm sure some idiots will just start shooting at the HVDC lines and converter station thinking they're for mind control. We don't need no stinkin' voltage and frequency support from the devil's evil liberal Eastern and Western Interconnections!

  • He was just letting him use the RV! He paid it back!

  • I haven't had to reset mine in 4 years. I would get another radio and move it to its own network.

  • Yes. It generates a lot of traffic. Once you get it reporting reliably, I struggle to see the benefit of a more expensive solution unless you want more channels.

  • Lol, I'm not Gen Z, bud. And calling your screeds "telling the truth" is quite the stretch. Most of them are just indignant bitching. Yes, we know, there are problems. The bitching is excruciating, especially when you're the one who keeps poking your own wounds rather than bandaging them.

    For most people who claim to be as observant and clued in as yourself, starting a thread like this and being almost universally panned would prompt some self reflection. I hope this is true for you, too.

  • As someone else said, you sound super toxic, and frankly, insufferable. I've had friends like you. They are exceedingly tiresome people to be around.

  • I have the aeotec zwave HEM that I imagine you are talking about, and have been using it for 4 years. Mine is on its own zwave modem, separate from the one I use for everything else, but you can also try increasing the reporting intervals, and maybe disabling reporting for anything you don't care about.

  • Your agitation is largely self-induced, as you stomp your feet and whine like a toddler denied his toy rather than mitigating it like an adult. Microsoft is a business. Their motivation is to deliver as little value to the user as possible while making as much money as possible. This has been this way since they won the IBM DOS contract and no longer had to compete on their product alone. You can whine, or you can use something else that better aligns with your needs and values as a user.

  • This sub merely asks for questions but instead we got a wall of indignant text about how you will pre-ignore any solutions to your complaint.
