dantheclamman@lemmy.worldto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Plex now want to SELL your personal dataEnglish1·1 day agoYeah with VPN it’s more straightforward. I wanted it accessible without which was more involved. Honestly the average user doesn’t even know what tailscale or wireguard are, so you are already advanced using those

dantheclamman@lemmy.worldto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Plex now want to SELL your personal dataEnglish291·1 day agoI think people feel loyalty to Plex and I understand why. I even understand why they’re charging for self-hosting considering their costs of delivering the dynamic DNS, software development, content info, etc. But being closed source, VC funded, and with their core product an increasingly small part of their business, it’s all a powerful recipe for enshittification. Tech Altar has talked before about how enthusiast brands often betray their users. Jellyfin was not a trivial set up for remote access, but I’ve really been happy with it, and I like having the peace of mind of having control over how it works

India and China have some drama in border areas, but maybe tourism is fine
That sounds like a it merits a complicated threat matrix of who hates who, lol

I myself would love that in my scientific job. It just seems like none of the agentic models are anywhere close to what’s needed to deliver that.

Sometimes not. They are just people. But I’d rather work with a person

It’s infuriating. Yet the industry is barreling in that direction before the tech is ready, customers be damned. This is not what VC should do.
dantheclamman@lemmy.worldOPto Technology@lemmy.world•VCs are starting to partner with private equity to buy up call centers, accounting firms and other "mature companies" to replace their operations with AIEnglish16·5 days agoYep, just gut one business after another for the quarterly returns. Same logic as the thieves stripping copper from street lights, just at a bigger scale

This is effectively the investor class coercing use of AI, rather than how tech has worked in the past, driven by ground-up adoption.

Multiple times I found articles I saved that were no longer online. So no, it’s not the same as bookmarks

They’re probably hoping to use people’s submitted code for training. But that seems like it will be diminishing returns
