Imagine comparing not being able to scroll through brainrot to prison.

This sentiment will be the downfall of America. Maybe that’s what you want. Not me.

It isn’t just about data, but influence.

That’s one way to look at it, not my intent but if that’s how you took it, enjoy.

More like, foreign control of my mental state is bad.

People keep making this argument comparing TikTok to American social media companies when talking about data.

What is hard to understand? Americans are fine with other Americans or American companies having their data. Americans are not fine with China having their data.

It is pretty simple.

He does. Same with any other platform you do not “own” your account. You have credentials to login to an account you created.

This should not be news to anyone. This applies to all social media, all entertainment, and every other account you use online.

Anyone that has tried the new version, does plex still make it really difficult to view your library by folder/file rather than by meta data?

I use jellyfin because I can get a folder view.

Good. I want them to be angry about having to break up search and ads so they have to compete like everyone else again.

A man can dream…

lol. Imagine still using chrome.

Didn’t show up on my win11 pro desktop pc.

More likely, they’ve been doing this for many years and it is basically obsolete, so they are spilling the beans now.

Or not and we really are doomed.

Software engineering work.

Mac for code and other work tasks

Windows for personal use during work

Linux for hosted applications and side projects.

That seems like some one off or a rural connection.

I work with a large remote team across the US. Most people on my team have gig internet, some get slower 100 meg internet. Mine is gig, I pay $60/mo and have no data cap.

You don’t like people fervently ignore it the article and just broken recording “install Linux” and “Linux is so much better than it used to be”?

Cool. I use Linux for something and windows for others and Mac for others!

While I agree it is absurd, it absolutely happens. See the Las Vegas convention workers union. I was told that one worker could not plug-in an extension cord that had been previously plugged in because it wasn’t his job. There were numerous other instances exactly like that, while working a convention center floor.

It does happen.

RIP Google Play Music. The best music service to ever exist.

I’ve gotten my last 2 jobs through LinkedIn. I know it doesn’t work well for some fields, but for tech it is great.

Exactly my thought. LinkedIn didn’t scrape their own data.

Unfortunately, it was originally seeded with people from the meta mod community in Reddit and so they brought all that with them.

Some discussions are awesome, but anything remotely controversial is a pure echo chamber and you’ll get shouted down if you dissent.

Why do these articles never have a screenshot of the change. So annoying.

Gen Z is app savvy, not tech savvy. Very very different.
