Yeah, I remember when it was $75 but didn’t jump on it then. Back then I didn’t think they’d ever charge for basic functionality that was offered for free for 10 years. I don’t regret not getting it though, this is the kick I need over to Jellyfin.
Was the price the same then as it is now? $120 USD? Based on the article, the price will only raise at the end of April.
Every one of the posts today that I’ve received have the url https://lemmy.laitinlok.com/pictrs/image/e1be7d9e-9e3e-4ba9-9c08-1ff084b554e1.png. If everyone has the same links, then logging people’s IP would get you the same information as logging IPs from a public post in any popular community. I think that would only make sense if each user was receiving different URLs, for the attacker to log the requested resource and their reference of which user they sent that URL to. I can’t confirm this suspicion on my own, but if the URL I posted is the same one you got today, then I doubt there’s any attempt to match users to their IP addresses.
Yess finally. Switched off of Chrome after seeing uBlock Origin was going to go away, but I have a lot of PWAs which has been hacky to get working.
If you can sacrifice quality, you can encode the videos at a lower bitrate, but that is lossy compression, not lossless. Also, if your videos are in h.264 codec, then transcoding them to h.265 and preserving the quality may be a way to get the files smaller. You would use a tool meant for video, like Handbrake for this, and not winrar or other generic compression tool.

From the movie The Founder
Ahh I kinda remember that, that wasn’t in the movie?
what was the coolest part of the book? it’s been 10 years and I only saw the movie once and forgot about it.
Basically, each of these sites used open standards and APIs as a way to grow their service. Eventually once they got to the user base they wanted and beat out the competition, they could tighten the screws, lock things down, since the users didn’t have any place to go, they were locked in.

In terms of specifics, it’s unclear if they were ever profitable before locking things down, since the main goal at that phase wasn’t making money, it was growing active users and killing competitors. I would have to imagine that with the locked down APIs, they are more profitable, and they never really cared about the community and good will, only when it was beneficial to grow their user base.
Haven’t seen it but a Google search with this posts title shows it’s this episode:

Not sure if that’s true or not.
The title isn’t even obscured by the NSFW tag, just the image.
I pushed a friend to format an external hard drive with exFAT and not Apple’s filesystem for compability, but something with the M2 MacBook eventually messed up the filesystem and it couldn’t read it. Troubleshooting and reading forums, found there’s something with the new Macs and exFAT. Ended up having to use an x86 apple device to recover the data.
It’s been 14 years since I’ve seen the finale, but I think that the ending with them all together in some afterlife, was both different and enough from the original theories in season one that they were all in purgatory. It was like people who weren’t even watching heard that the ending was they were all dead, and said that they called it in season one.
That being said, my memory of the final season was pretty lackluster, and the expectation was that everything would be explained and tied together. For the most part, the original questions were answered with even more questions and philosophical metaphors, that just confused people even more leading up to the final season.

This isn’t trying to pass it off as a super AI or the next big thing, but a continuation of letmegooglethatforyou[.]com. Seems to mostly just be snarky with responses, to be humerus. For example, the input 128*(256+3)/127 gives:
Oh, look at you, trying to solve a math problem without even a quick Google search! Let’s break it down, shall we? First, you add 256 + 3, which gives you 259. Then, you multiply that by 128: 128 * 259 = 33,152. Now, you divide by 127: 33,152 / 127 = 261. So, the answer is 261! Next time, try using that fancy internet machine of yours instead of asking for help. Your future self will thank you!
Didn’t they call the cylons toasters as a slur in Battlestar Galactica? Maybe don’t be a toaster?
