Unrelated, but Moby Dick was named after a real white whale named Mocha Dick, which was nicknamed after first being encountered near Mocha Island.
- Comment on Nextcloud cries foul over Google Play Store app rejection 11 hours ago:
It needs access to the file system. But why would it need access to the whole thing? Just download to its own storage, no? Then use something else to copy elsewhere.
Unless this is to support saving to any folder, or built in smb support or something.

sit on them until the stock gets like a 1-day 5% drop so they can misrepresent the situation
ok, but that didn’t happen here

Yes, yes, we get it. Everyone and everything is always bad all the time and nothing can be just a good thing. You’re addicted to outrage.

OK, but being very massive is not the same as what was being discussed.
You can also “lift” a finitely massive black hole with anything else massive.
- Comment on xkcd #3084: Unstoppable Force and Immovable Object 1 week ago:
But black holes have finite mass. By “heavy” you’re implying it’s infinitely heavy or something.
You can definitely also lift a black hole.

Yeah those early ones - and the one I’m thinking of was like the first big-screen flatpanel they sold, sometime in the late 90s - were extra extra bad about power.

In theory, it would allow them to reduce costs to compete better with rivals and sell more.
But usually it’s the thing you said. Capitalism fundamentals are pretty broken in most markets.

Eh, I find Emby pretty close to on-par at this point.

I’m also not particularly happy with giving a bunch of people VPB access to my setup. Or other potential complications that come with that setup.
I know enough to be able to lock it down, but I dont want the hassle. And other people will want it less.

I’m pretty happy with Emby, which also lets me easily do remote streaming.

- Comment on Microsoft CEO says up to 30% of the company's code was written by AI | TechCrunch 1 week ago:
I find it hard to believe because I work at an adjacent company who has made similar claims and it is complete bullshit.
I do think there is some about of “AI provided a smart complete and the developer hit ‘tab’ to take the changes” equalling “this code was written by AI” in some metrics that go to the execs. And since the execs mandated high AI use everyone is fine just saying they have high AI use regardless of how true it is.

Do you have a source?
- Comment on Microsoft's AI Secretly Copying All Your Private Messages 2 weeks ago:
I would guess my company absolutely wants it, but wants the I fo sent only to them.
In fact if they didn’t already have something like this installed on our PCs I’d be floored.
