Probably going to work. Just another company trying to wring money from their user base since they can’t reasonably grow. So many people were like “oh I’m cancelling Netflix if I can’t share it” and then it was record sign ups for them and overall more money.

They are doing this right before The Boys comes back on and somewhat during Invincibles part 2 airing. People will be annoyed and pay the upcharge.

And like me pirating those still won’t change much since I already was.

And this is how I found out The Peripheral was cancelled 😭

Stay strong

How’s it hidden? You to to the default app settings…

Or just install another browser and they’ll walk you through it.

I find Windows way more egregious, it will allow you to set it but not really, half of anything you do will open edge and then they’ll occasionally reset your default browser with bugger updates.

I was interested at first but then slowly came in the freedom of speech stuff.

Sounds like another truth social, rumble bullshit thing. “Don’t worry if your favorite Nazi gets deplatformed we got their back! Now you’ll see they moved to Rumble.” Depending on their discovery it’ll be a cesspit in no time.

Okay but they are definitely hooking up first. I have a hard time believing the app with built in dick pic sharing features and reputation for being useless for dating has people being like “hey QT you have any jobs?”

Even better they can spam literal child porn at you because of “outrage” and youll get a exec from Twitter defending you to parliament!

Ultimately this is probably a good thing. From what I’ve gathered of Linus he is a person that can recognize his mistakes, but only once you get past his stubbornness. His response saying they should’ve hit him up is kind of classic response. What could you have said really? Like GN is right that like almost every video has a pinned comment or on screen edit of a correction. And you know these companies are complaining. Yet it continues.

Having their audience put them to task will go a long way to making them recognize it is a bigger issue than individual videos. I’m really curious about the idea of Labs being able to actually test things publically in a way consumers haven’t been able to. (Give me more of transparency like digital foundry for games and Jerryrig everything for durability.) So they need to pull their shit together if they want to claim to be a data driven lab. Like accuracy is all that matters.

I think the ethical concerns section is overblown. LTT is almost harsh on their sponsors and I got a kick out of Linus starting the last video talking about Framework saying how he doesn’t actually use the Framework laptop as his daily driver at the time and complained about it.

As someone who’s been running unRAID out of a tower and like 5 drives; it’s weird watching like four people who are definitely more tech savvy than me just bumble fuck their way through all this server stuff with enterprise level gear. Like I do more research for myself and I’m not jumping on video. Ultimately I like the videos, I enjoy seeing the approaches, but they try to come off like authority figures. Then they don’t even know how to properly parity swap and make unRAID look harder than it is.

Yeah I wish there was a setting that’s like if it’s released in the last two years just grab it. I always have an issue with my peeps wanting old stuff. Like my uncle was like that and I let his shows auto approve but then he asked for some show from 2019 with 8 seasons and it grabbed like 200gbs of shows in a few hours and I was like “nope, no more”

I don’t think so, but I’ve never had someone do that on the old system. They always want all 16 seasons of some old show lol. Drives me crazy. My brother asks for a show every two weeks and be like where are they? And I’ll respond with the like last 12 shows he asked for with zero watch time from tautilli

Yeah I’ve been trying to cut out the middle man. My family isn’t technically proficient and I found just having it sync straight to Sonarr and Radarr was saving me a step since I always have them open and already have them accessible on my website. Since TV shows was the only thing I don’t have auto approve it just made the decision on letting it search or going out and manually finding a pack happen at the point that matters to me.

But yeah I still have the request site up but thinking of taking it down because I still have some issues pop up and less moving parts is better for me.

It’s also a plus for me because I use NZB360 to manage everything on my phone which is much better with Sonarr and Radarr

Fwiw there’s a new feature in Plex you have to opt into but the Sonarr and Radarr devs figured out how to use it. So you can make it so things people add to their watchlist on Plex get sent to the 'arrs. Like I have it auto add movies and search for them with the typical profile and then add TV shows unmonitored and send me a text message.

Really simplifies everything. Like now my grandma doesn’t have to go to a website and stuff. Since even if you turn off the free TV spam the search function will still return things you don’t have and let you naturally add it to your watchlist and even put it in a recently added bar on the watchlist page when it’s there.

Then that will get screenshotted and posted on r/wholesome r/wholesomememes and r/mademesmile then make the rounds there forever.

I got to lvl 8 Gandalf level and it stopped being fun. It’s super overtuned. Just saying “word” in almost any context makes it refuse to answer. Prompts unrelated to anything trigger it. As a conversational AI it fails in that regard lol. It doesn’t easily give the password but it’s useless for anything else.

I’m on my phone so I didn’t want to go crazy trying long prompts

I know this sounds dumb probably but 2 years is too short a time. Considering how email is basically the backbone of the Internet deleting old accounts after 2 years sounds nightmarish. People will be forever locked out of things. I even have like 6 Gmail accounts I use for different things. Like I’m going to have to login and rotate through them every now and again just to be sure.

Needs to be like five years or something considering they were presumably eternity before. You can still use Hotmail accounts.

If they recycle the email address so other people can use them that’s a whole other bag of worms. Like people.will find old email lists and try recreating them and seeing what they can get into. Expect your dead grandma to be suddenly posting on Facebook soon about great opportunities.

I get like emptying data out. Sure delete all their drive files and emails after 2 years but the account itself should never be.

Can confirm. I’ve been doing a lot of technical setup lately. Hardware, and niche software. Any issue I had or comparison of online services I looked for Reddit was the top result and of course I would click it because I’m burnt out and just want an answer. I’ll say about a fourth of the comments on the comparison/help posts are now deleted or edited to make a statement about Reddit. Everynow and again it’d be a private sub. It was super wild. Luckily google has a cached version to view the sub in those cases.

I don’t think Lemmy will ever be able to replicate that utility though. There can’t be an expectation of a very specific technical post to still being around in 5 years since it’d be contingent on the instance to still exist.

Spider-Man Remastered and Death Stranding are my top ones. Vampire Survivors is an obvious suggestion though.

But Spider-Man and DS hit super different in handheld. I love jumping on Spider-Man swinging around and stopping crime. It’s a perfect mindless game imo once you have nothing left to learn. So I just boot up and chill every now and again.

Death Stranding is super unique to me, I have 50 hours in the starting area alone. If you bum rush the story idk if it’d be chill, but when you’re in the open world I don’t know of another game that’s able to just let you feel like running from point to point is engaging. I really enjoy playing this on the SteamDeck while watching TV or a movie. It’s like mindless enough but still can be entertaining. And everynow and again you have a BT event that makes you focus up. But it’s fun to just do side missions and they are technically never ending in that as soon as you clear out a batch of deliveries you’ll get more. I love it.

I have a PS5 and both games on there and I am so much more likely to put a show/movie I want to watch on the tv and boot up either one of those games.
