They believe that we’re on the precipice of creating agi. Agi, if invented, would be like inventing the nuclear bomb. Whoever does it first gets a massive leg up on the competition. Except in this case instead of destroying a rival with a bomb you just ask your Agi, “what’s the best way to become the most profitable company in history” and it will tell you and it will be right.

I don’t like Kevin Costner.

You left off the best part that he “copes” by cutting off his hands afterwards. I love that album.

I honestly don’t know why other bands are bothering to continue making music when Rust In Peace exists. It’s embarrassing.

I’ve done the tape thing before. It was a little bit of a pain but not that hard.

That’s why you run a couple rounds of preclear to stress them and then run a fresh smart report.

This is the only step. If trump is elected he and his cronies will remove, up to and including outright murder, all of his enemies. The only judges and “representatives” left will be ones scared enough or craven enough to do whatever Trump and his masters want. There will be no democracy after Trump if elected.

Sacred implies supernaturality. Since that isn’t actually a thing, nothing is sacred. It’s as valid for one person to say they think something is not sacred as it is for someone to say they think it is.

At the end of the day, the argument should be that it is unique and should be preserved because of its uniqueness. That’s a much more palatable and understandable position to take.

They removed the limit though, didn’t they?

This was a major plot point of the movie Airheads. The record label guy wouldn’t accept their demo so they took over a radio station to force it to be played publicly so the record execs would be able to hear it.

Make yourself open source.

The law needs to change. Artistic works that are written off for tax purposes must revert to the public domain permanently and immediately.

If you think Biden is no better than GWB then I don’t even know what to say. You’re living on a different planet.

There are nowhere near enough left behind voters to make up for one’s they’d lose. We have to marginalized the ultra right first.

It isn’t the dnc’s fault a third of the country is apparently fascist these days. Nothing moves left until the ultra right is thoroughly defeated and sent back to the shadows.

When those same former voters watch Israel murder every Palestinian while Trump actively cheers them on and rounds up all Palestinian Americans to deport them for further ethnic cleansing.

Their cause is “I don’t want to pay taxes.”

They’re inherently selfish people going to the absurd but logical conclusion that anti-tax selfishness gets you. Fuck em.

Ammag radiation.

I wouldn’t be so sure if that. It’s possible, yeah, but if my theory is right they see the library sharing as the carrot to get normies to download the plex app onto their roku or apple TV.

Pivoting to a streaming only app would close off that avenue for user acquisition permanently.

I was trying to think how Plex thinks this is going to play out, knowing that this move will piss off their customer base. Then I realized, this isn’t a play for Plex’s existing customer base. This is a play for their customer’s “friends and family” that are enjoying shared libraries already.

Their ‘customer’ base has for many many years been developing a large user base of technologically naive people with Plex apps installed who could never run their own server. If Plex knows, for example, that for every paying customer there’s three other users pulling from someone’s library, that’s a huge opportunity for them to convert those users to paying customers.

Everyone that set up a Plex server and then shared it with your tech-phobic parents, cousins, friends, etc… We made this possible.

I don’t like it but I can’t argue with the logic from Plex here.

-edit- Tightened up the grammar.
