Pioneeers in the field 🙃

Right! Google acting like they are losing billions a month due to adblockers when in reality it’s like .2% of their total profits and they STILL foaming at the mouth.

"That i possess a licence to practice law in the legal jurisdiction of the province of British Columbia does not make i into a lawyer, the same way that having a driver's licence to drive a motor vehicle does not make i into a driver," Arbabi said.

Uhhh, whut.

My question is how did this person ever become a lawyer???

LMAO FUCK NO

If you want Jellyfin to fetch media from a rapidgator or megaup URL, then nope, haven’t seen anything like that.

It’s a bit old but here’s a pretty thorough list of their plugins: https://www.reddit.com/r/jellyfin/comments/ozncze/list_of_all_known_jellyfin_plugin_repositories/

And: https://github.com/awesome-jellyfin/awesome-jellyfin

JF supports all the Arrs suite, so you may be able to do what you want (stream media) in other ways. For example, doing it all on JF yourself and then creating accounts for your family. You would be the admin setting up the content and they would just log in and consume it.

Yeah what a future! Literally everywhere you look or turn, there’s someone yelling in your ear for cash. Can’t wait 🙃

It’s honestly wild that our species has gotten here. When are we setting up on Mars again??

Apple is a hardware company. Over 90% of their cash comes from hardware. Latest figures show that about 6-8% are from services. Aside from making a browser that’s quite popular on mobile, they really have little to no control on the net.

Their partners certainly do, but they are not a software company. They have nowhere near the impact Google or Microsoft do because those two are both service companies and both actually control and own giant slices of the net. Google has shaping the net’s infrastructure for decades now.

Not saying Apple doesn’t influence in other ways, but is just a spec compared to the companies that actually own parts of the nets backbone.

It’s going to be like old telecom soon, where the companies that own the physical lines have all the control. And that’s scary. I don’t want kids growing up using Google Internet or Microsoft AllNet to access the web.

You’re not wrong. Apple are relentless perfectionists and expect the same from their partners (they have unparalleled QA requirements that most small manufacturers just can’t meet). No one. And I mean no one seems to like working with them! They demand… a lot.

But that’s what makes their products so polished, while everyone is still shipping cheap plastic crap.

The entire scientific community isn’t what people think. There is so much corruption or bias, it’s absurd. But I agree, every peer reviewed paper needs to have its top 3 sources of funding right there is the title. And we need to keyword them so every article Google or Microsoft have ever funded are right there in plain sight. And not some forgotten footnote.

Leave it to capitalism to mix everything with money and subsequently greed 👍

But then governments do this on the daily too. My first year bio prof left her job testing water samples for the government because she found things. Bad things. And they didn’t bring them findings to light, they suppressed them and told her to forget about it (applaud her for having the backbone to leave!).

Thanks for coming to my ted talk.

Lmao Fox News. Who reads their crap

I worry about that shit more than I do what social is doing. The fact Meta, Google, MS, etc can control actual parts of the internet is just beyond wild to me.

Go capitalism 🙃

At this point I’m pretty convinced Zuckerberg eats about 2-3 babies a month.

I find things that carry over despite having little to do with the original. Tape for example. We were saying that for a while when digital recorders and cameras on phones could do video.

Same with the disk icon. Still used for save despite most millennials now having no idea what the thing is.

Read your EULA; they aren’t responsible for any data loss.

The patents. I mean Q modems are definitely quality, but only because they bought all the patents and basically bury anyone trying to compete with them. But the patents. To Apple, that is gold. Because I imagine lots of those patents prevent Apple from making this modem (finding the right personnel aside).

Yeah not saying they aren't shit. Just that the internet isn't just social media. I surf with mullvad blocking all nuisances (social media included) and I don't even really feel its effects unless I actually try to visit facebook.com or equivalent.

Yeah, it's Apple, they don't really talk about future plans unless it's some vague or obscure comment (we have "magical" things set to come out soon). Not to mention, Qualcomm is probably watching them like a hawk ready to unleash their billion dollar law firms at even the slightest hint of an Apple modem.

The delay is likely Qualcomm's anti-competitive behaviour and patents, something Q has been hoarding since the early 2000s.

But they are 100% looking to exist that deal and just bring it in-house. I imagine that's Apple's end-game: to bring all sub-components into their own. No more licensing, no more idiots that don't innovate. It's just win win for them.

That’s because almost all of the apps in the App Store are subscription based.

They dropped PPC for Intel. Within two years, Jobs was on stage lamenting the partnership as Intel frequently missed deadlines or just simply couldn’t deliver. It took them a while, but we all saw it coming and I’m sure Apple couldn’t have been happier dropping such a shitty company that did nothing but hold onto its monopoly. The blackberry of processors.

They then partnered with AT&T as their exclusive carrier and again, within just a year or so, top VPs would take shots at them during their keynotes. Within a few years, the arrangement was changed.

Qualcomm has been a thorn in their side for over a decade. They have sued them. Publicly called them out on their exhortation pricing.

There’s no way, given Apple’s dedication to perfection, will they just suck it up and stay with them. Their pricing structure alone is enough reason to build their own modems.

So much awful. Little girl dead. And they get to relive the event over and over because media couldn’t let it go. And still can’t?

The video no one needed to see.
