Remember that interview with Don Lemon where Musk got heated over censorship?

Me too.

I mean. They could go with google and most ideally change nothing, or stay with the open source project and try to cut out a slice of the appstore pie for themselves.

Google can only do that if they can maintain grip on the market. This requires the likes of Samsung, who also contribyte to android, to move with them to their then propiatary solution. Google is not going to win this just with their Pixels.

Google closing android would ruffle a lot of feathers so it definitely wouldn’t be a given they would come out of that on top.

Apple has no problem existing outside of Google’s sphere of influence. And honestly if the android market would split and you’d get legitimately google-less phones with large app stores that google doesn’t control that would be fairly beneficial if you ask me.

If google where to close android it’ll undoubtedly be forked. Pretty sure the likes of Graphene and Calyx will be fine for the forseeable future.

As much as I’d love to take this at face value, people taking a run with what an AI told them is highly problematic.

Explain to me me how “someone told you in private” would ever apply to this derrick leaking a group chat. What is private about a group chat?

Obviously I’m talking about the guy that forwarded juicy messages someone sent to him personally to his buddies in this leaked group chat.

Maybe I could have explained better. Maybe you’re a bit too eager to find people to recreationally chastise.

I think you think I’m agry with the wrong person. Who do you think my statement was directed against?

My problem was not with Derrick?

The abuse of trust is the problem there, not the trust itself…

There’s no scenario where you’re not the a-hole if you’re going to parrot something someone else told you in private, elsewhere.

I’ve definitely got some bleak ass humor with some friends in private but forwarding messages people sent you in private to other people and group chats? Really?

now i throw my trash out the window.

You don’t believe not using paper towels was a net positive so now you choose to create and by extention live in a pigsty? I’m not following.

Dare I assume you are aware we have “industry” because we consume?

I’m aware of this, but it still mostly just something for people speculate on. Something people buy, sit on, and then hopefully sell with a profit.

Bitcoin was supposed to be a decentralized money alternative, but the amount of people actually, legitimately, buying things with crypto are highly negligible. And honestly even if it did serve it’s actual purpose, the cumulative power consumption would still be a point of debate.

That it’s controlled by a few is only a problem if you use it… my issue with it starts before that.

My biggest gripe with AI is the same problem I have with anything crypto: It’s out of control power consumption relative to the problem it solves or purpose it serves. And by extension the fact nobody with any kind of real political power is addressing this.

Here we are using recycled bags, banning straws, putting explosive refrigerant in fridges and using led lights in everything, all in the name of the environment, while at the same time in some datacenter they are burning kwh’s by the bucket loads generating pictures of cats in space suits.

Well, yeah. That’s life as an admin under the best circumstances.

I don’t disagree, but I don’t see the reason in tempting/inviting work to spawn. Especially in the cases where windows itself is optional.

I also think it’s interesting you’re not convinced it’s a reasonable risk. I’ve had updates break things on clients under my control on several occasions, particularly post Windows 7 with the bigger feature releases.

It’s definitely a “when”, and not an “if” to me.

It’s also worth pointing out Microsoft has already actively been working against allowing you to bypass the requirements. It’s very clear to me they want to go towards some kind of hardware lifecycle management and I would definately not put it past them they deliberately make windows stop working on unsupported platforms at some point.

Also IT guy. Hot take indeed. I’ve done this but won’t support this. I will almost guarantee some update will break shit at the most inconvenient time humanly possible and the people you’ve done this for will need your help, all at the same time.

I’m using this opportunity to expand Linux market share.

Most people only use a browser these days. People that ask me about Windows 10 eol get pushed towards Linux. There is really no need to spend money to replace a machine mainly used to browse the web.

Only if they need stuff that won’t work on Linux or they really really want Windows to use Chrome or Firefox on for some reason I’ll recommend complying with Microsoft’s hubris.

But not before suggesting Apple sells pretty and user friendly computers as well. Because I really want this to hurt Windows’s market share and by golly I’ll do everything in my power to help.

As surprise to absolutely no-one. Me buying a Samsung panel with tizen on it one of my bigger regrettable purchases in my home theater life.

So lazyness is the real answer. ;) This is fair enough, to be sure, but logically I continue to have problems with it when looking solely at the wife factor.

My wife sets nothing up, that’s my area of expertise. My wife’s a user. This is true for Jellyfin but also things like our home automation that she very much enjoys but has no clue to how I made work on a technical level. She just taps things in the Home Assistant app as desired and things happen.

I would also argue setting up Jellyfin, though more a complex proposition as Plex, is a lot easier then setting up things like an *arr strack or ripping the media you eventually play back with it.

Plex does very little in a vacuum so despite it being easier to set up, it would be equally unlikely she ever would.

So far I’ve had no problems using jellyfin on basicly anything that exists in my house which includes a Apple TV, Xbox SX and a Xiaomi TV Box S.

But I can see there’s probably no Tizen app for things like Samsung TV’s.

Setting jellyfin up is for the technically inclined, i’ll agree there, but once deployed I don’t really see where Plex fundamentally excels over Jellyfin when it comes to “the wife factor”?

You open the app, app shows library, you click on desired media item, desired media item plays. What am i missing?
