- Comment on Plex is increasing Plex Pass prices and paywalling remote playback for personal media at $1.99/month or $19.99/year. 5 weeks ago:
Well, that’s Plex gone from my server, then. I had switched to Jellyfin, anyway, but it was mostly “still there”.
No more.
- Comment on Open letter: ~100 EU companies urge EU lawmakers to take “radical action” to shrink the reliance on foreign infrastructure by fostering a so-called “Euro stack”. 1 month ago:
Running the stuff on someone else’s computer still requires a dedicated team for “something serious”, unless you stuff everything in specific “serverless” platforms, in which case you’re still paying for admins, just not yours.
- Comment on Mozilla is already revising its new Firefox terms to clarify how it handles user data 1 month ago:
Neil doesn’t need a chatbot with sparkles for that, he’s plenty capable to take absolute piss himself. 😁
- Comment on Mozilla is already revising its new Firefox terms to clarify how it handles user data 1 month ago:
A fair amount of drama is exactly their fault. Mozilla chose to increase management pay and fire people, Mozilla chose to flirt with ai, Mozilla bought an ad firm, and so on. It’s not like someone was holding a knife to their throat.
- Comment on Vance warns against 'tightening the screws' on AI in rebuff of Europe 2 months ago:
In Dutch, we have the similar “zoals de award is, vertrouwt hij zijn gasten” (roughly “the way the innkeeper is, is how he trusts his guests (to be)”).
- Comment on The Cybertruck Appears to Be More Deadly Than the Infamous Ford Pinto, According to a New Analysis 2 months ago:
I believe they’re absolutely not street legal in the UK, nor in the EU. Those were never “ridiculous sized trucks” Walhalla to begin with (although I see more Rams than I care to, these days), so there’s roughly zero chance those things will become mainstream here.
Heck, we have rain here, that’s enough of a wankpanzer repellant.
- Comment on Le Chat: A faster European alternative to American AI 2 months ago:
The tech might be the same, but the models can certainly differ, and something that is trained on US-centric data gives US-centric results, which may not always be desirable.
- Comment on Bluesky now has 30 million users. 2 months ago:
Yeah, no, not anybody can host a server. Sure, you can host a PDS, but the AppView still wasn’t open source last time I looked, and hosting a relay requires tens of terabytes of storage, not to mention the bandwidth to keep up.
Meanwhile, people host actual activitypub instances on repurposed routers and their car entertainment system…
- Comment on Europol chief says Big Tech has ‘responsibility’ to unlock encrypted messages 3 months ago:
Simple, the position doesn’t require technical insight. At all. It should, but it doesn’t.
