I also am a fan of Mint Mobile, but IIRC they were bought up by T-Mobile a few years back. I'm waiting for their inevitable enshittification, but riding the wave until it crashes.
In an effort to lift everybody’s spirits, Zuckerberg offered to host a company-wide hackathon an attempt at a lighthearted diversion that landed with a thud among employees.
lmao "Hey, you guys wanna work more, but 'for fun'?"
Disgusted by the 1m limit. How's a person supposed to burn money with baby bumpers like this?
🔥🔥🔥 HOLD ON A SECOND 🔥🔥🔥
You just asked to burn more than 1,000,000 tokens.
Friendly reminder: THIS REPO IS A JOKE. It is a satirical bash script
that lights real money on fire to inflate vanity metrics. There is no
business reason to run it. The README is sarcasm. The "enterprise
version" is not real. Yes, burning lots of tokens might impress
your manager, but I'm not enough of a nihilist to be the actual
mechanism enabling that.
Nice to see a corporation show some fear towards a community project.
Been very happily living in Asahi for the last few weeks. It's buggy, but totally usable for a daily driver. So usable that I'm tempted to obliterate the macOS partition entirely.
My former workplace stopped publishing the stats on which department had the most failures when the first round showed more than half of the executives clicked the scam link in their email.
... well, at some point any hobby grows to the point where purists show up.
There's give and take with everything. Is it "self" hosted if you rely on Docker - a 3rd party with control over their own infrastructure? Or hosting it on a Debian OS? Is it really "private" if it's connected to the internet at all?
Are you running the Plex Server application on some hardware so other devices can access the library? Hey, that's self-hosting. That's it.
No, I don't think it happens. There's not enough financial incentive to un-enshittify, and often the companies that turn their products to crap were bought/sold to investors. To un-enshittify the product, the new owners would have to care about a long term investment and actually spend time & energy to learn whatever business they just bought up. Just doesn't make sense when their end goal is to quickly sell it for a profit, even if it means stripping the otherwise-healthy business for parts.
I'm in the throes of attempting a migration from Plex (lifetime pass, here) to Jellyfin, and my main issue is echoed elsewhere: It's a headache to set up secure external access. My users would either need a new account through some auth gate I'd have to set up & manage, or I'd have to wire everyone up through wireguard or something they'd have to remember a password for and blah blah blah.
Plex is the only thing my home server is sharing. I don't have anything directly exposed to the external internet. In any case I can think of, doing this "right" means extra steps (on top of new steps) for my current users, plus new security concerns & added user management for myself.
Thing is, I remember a time when getting cosmetic surgery / Botox was the "I'd never do that" thing. Now it's getting harder to find people in the public eye who haven't had it.
I think all it'd take is Google/Apple/Meta/MS to normalize the requirement.
