You know, it’s not even about hitting the ball. Hitting the ball is great and all, but that’s not fair to the other team. What if they weren’t ready? This is about sportsmanship! It’s about being the bigger person! And most importantly, it’s about the players. Chuckie needs a new glove, and nothing inspires other people to buy girl-scout cookies more than knowing they can make a difference to help the runner-up win the next championship tournament.

Arrest, not autopsy? That’s very optimistic of you.

Might be. It is definitely a thing, though.

When I used to work for a large American corporation that sold products to consumers, they took it extremely seriously and breaking it would result in disciplinary action. It probably had something to do with advertisement laws, but it also easily could have just been because it makes the company look very bad.

one place even asked people to write fake reviews on Trustpilot/job sites

That sounds unethical, to say the least. Did they verify if you actually did it, or just “suggest” you do?

Corporations drill it deep into your head that you do not positively promote your own products or negatively review competitor products without both making it clear that you (1) work for $Corp; and (2) are sharing your own, personal opinion.

Giving the benefit of the doubt to Plex, they suck at training employees about social media policies.

plus these are benches too it looks like

This part is the most surprising. For something meant to go in urban areas, where’s the hostile architecture? No railings between seats? No spikes?

I prefer removing the -french language pack on every install. The command comes with a typo though, so you need to fix that for it by adding /* at the end

“The ‘elites’ are driving stock prices down to make Trump look bad. He’s being blamed for Democrat fraud” or something along those lines.

It certainly is more cultured than them, at least.

Greenland? That’s so 21st century.

Make a network state on Mars, guys. Take one of Elon’s Starship rockets up there too, while you’re at it.

After conservatives get to be on top, it’s conservative men on top. And then, white conservative men. Next, rich white conservative men.

It’s going to be one hell of a lemon party by the end.

JavaScript was a mistake, but this is one of the few things they did correctly. Implicitly importing everything from a package into the current scope makes it difficult to follow where variables or functions come from, and it’s prone to cause problems when two packages export the same identifier.

If you’re an absolute masochist, there’s always a workaround. Against all best practices, you can use the deprecated with statement. Or, you can Object.assign() the packages into the global object like a monster. Or if you’re using node, you can use the node:vm module to create a new V8 context with its own global object of your choosing.

If the passwords were properly salted, it wouldn’t. But if they’re not salted, helloooooo rainbow tables. Or the world’s greatest crossword puzzle, like that one Adobe accidentally made. Maybe even both!

They’re not generic adapters if they support the Switch. The Switch was intentionally designed to not work with generic USB C to HDMI adapters, and they did it by adding additional negotiation steps before the Switch would enter DisplayPort alt mode.

It really should use a vertical line from 0 to 5 as a way to represent the welfare cliff, too.

We did it America! The red wave is here and the Dems are no more!

And then lost the reflog by rm -rfing the project and cloning it again.

I actually jumped ship a while back. I agree that Plex is a business and they do deserve to get paid for development and infrastructure costs, but it’s the blatant enshitification that I have a big issue with.

They chose to lock a previously-free feature behind a paywall for everybody and asked for even more money to get it back. The less shitty alternative would have been to ask only the users who needed to use the relays to purchase a Plex Pass. Or, if they wanted to make it seem like a positive thing, they could have made the new subscription into an “enhanced quality” remote streaming experience that enabled higher bitrates over relays.

They gave their users the middle finger by picking the most transparently greedy option that they could get away with justifying.

Fair enough, although that actually has worse optics IMO. It goes from “this costs us money, so pay us” to “we need money, so we’re creating an artificial reason for you to pay us”

The self-hosted servers use UPnP and NAT-PMP to automatically forward the port used for media streaming.
