If domestic terrorism is such a focus why’d they shutter their KKK and White Nationalist investigations and kill their metadata tracking tool?

They’re headquartered in the US. GDPR being an EU statute, won’t hold much weight with the current administration; and since they’re filing for bankruptcy the data will be sold to the highest bidder. Likely as not they were selling access to their db when they were in operation.

HIPAA may have a claim on the data that could give some privacy protections, however since people’s insurance wasn’t involved and the process didn’t go through a doctor’s office I doubt it.

That data has already been sold.

Yes. Money talks.

SpaceX and Starlink next. I’m tired of funding his bullshit with my tax dollars.

Give a month will yah? I got puts at 170

I’m lucky to have only had one system nuked by a faulty power supply that shut down during a kernel update.

I usually just reinstalled back then. But I didn’t get into it till the late nineties. Back when Ian was still on the list serves.

Unless you mean nuking the OS or borking the bootloader. Then yeah, countless.

Just because I and my family benefit now, doesn’t mean it’ll stay that way. Also again, I don’t want to support or platform an app that charges others, who are not me, to share their own collection.

If they want to charge for the Plex TV or Plex Movies they host, and leave the app free of cost for a person’s own personal collection to be shared. That’s fine.

I have no confidence that’ll happen though.

Cool, now they can correct the “mistake” made regarding Army Maj. Gen. Charles C. Rogers …

Yes, that’s great for me and mine, but not for others. I don’t like to support or platform/promote applications that require a subscription for any access at all.

The problem is Plex aren’t Netflix in my usecase. I’m sharing my library with my friends.

Now if they’d like to charge for the content they host. Great more power to 'em, but I feel icky with a payment or subscription model that charges to deliver my collection to my friends and family.

So, like I said. I’ll likely start migrating to jellyfin and start the conversation with people in how to get the jellyfin app on whatever device they have.

A lot of flatpaks early on wouldn’t survive a major point release upgrade or worst case would hold on to dependencies and the user would end up with an unbootable mess after an upgrade.

I haven’t seen that recently though.

However I regularly run appimages on my fedora silverblue system so take what I say with a grain of salt.

IMPORTANT NOTE FOR CURRENT PLEX PASS HOLDERS: For users who have an active Plex Pass subscription, remote playback will continue to be available to you without interruption from any Plex Media Server, after these changes go into effect. When running your own Plex Media Server as a subscriber, other users to whom you have granted access can also stream from the server (whether local or remote), without ANY additional charge—not even a mobile activation fee. More on that later in this update.

I guess that’s something.

Gonna be a long slow explanation to my family and friends how to switch to jellyfin. Hopefully there’s an app ecosystem there as well. I was lucky to get a lifetime pass way back in 2009 when I did some work for them. It’s very different now.

Fedora based actually

Plex/jellyfin

If I could do it all over I’d pick jellyfin however plex is on more devices and easier for people to setup…for now.

However you may also be interested in the arr stack. For reasons.

My sentiments exactly. Been an increasing problem over there since 2016 that I noticed but I’m sure there was this bullshittery there before and I just wasn’t in the subreddits where it festered.

Glad to hear it. Hopefully you have a long tenure there and the company grows at a sustainable rate. You’re in like 1% of the market.

You deserve to be there or they wouldn’t have hired you. You work with smart people who know their shit. They wouldn’t have you there if you didn’t contribute.

However remember that as soon as it starts to get bad jump ship or form a union. You only matter until that tiny company gets bought up by another larger company…like Amazon.

With the impending financial crisis expect there to be a lot of “consolidation” in the market.
