OOTL and someone who only uses a vm once every several years for shits & grins: What happened to vmware?

Geek. Gamer. Data hoarder. Eldritch Horror hidden in a geeky t-shirt. Canadian. Polite, but says ‘cunt’ like an Australian. Avid pirate, worships unfathomable space gods that may drive you crazy.
If you see this username on other instances, it’s almost certainly me on an alt.

40 years old. Haven’t been satisfied with a phone-slam since before my first cordless phone in 2001.
Honestly the only thing HP has ever made that I haven’t been horribly, horribly disappointed with is their monitors. Just through circumstance of ‘whatever-the-fuck-was-cheapest-but-not-total-ass-when-I-went-to-buy-them’ I’ve ended up with 4 different HP monitors over the years, including a 20ish year old 4:3 one which still goes strong to this day.
Every other product was pure unadulterated ass.
I find it funny any time I check Reddit and see the people complaining in the comments. ‘Whats going on with Reddit lately?’, ‘Why are there so many bots and so much spam as of late?’.
Memories of gerbils I swear, we fuckin’ told you this was gonna happen. How are these simpletons surprised?! (I know I answered my own question there lol).
Having never heard of this nor read the article, I assume it was the 2020’s equivalent of the old AIM chatbots that were amusing to talk to for 11 seconds before realizing you had better shit to do.
also seems to me that you should be able to fix them without publicly announcing it.
You would seem to be wrong then lol. News has standards higher than Uncle Joe’s Truckin’ Blog™ or someone’s Aunt’s Facebook post.
Thank shit lol. I'm a kbin guy so I'm still gonna wait a while for the kbin API to come out before I can use it with my main account, but at least its out and I can use it with a compatible one in the meantime! I left Sync for Boost (with Reddit lol) and I'm glad this is here now.
This. Sometimes I’ll go to an actual torrent site for shits & grins but why go search on 1 site when I can search 50+ at once?
Still working for me with just the basic bitch plan on the web/desktop.
That being said: Fuck you Spotify lol
Edit: fuck GadolElohai and CybranM too ya low expectation having downvoting motherfuckers lol
Technology and piracy always will find a way. Even if Plex goes tits up, we have options with Jellyfin and Emby. Sharing may not be great or even possible in some or all circumstances, but I’m sure if Plex shuts down today they’ll go into overdrive to bring things more up to speed since there’ll be a real need for it. If not, someone else will come up with something to replace it, or something new.
Hell only reason I started using Plex in the first place was because I was using Universal Media Server and was tired of putting up with it’s shit. Only reason I was on that was cause I was tired of Playstation Media Server beforehand, and if I hadn’t smoked my brain cells away I’d tell you the same thing for whatever I used before that too lmao. We’ll always find new ways to pirate, and to share that content. Plex just became so commonplace cause it’s so damned easy and (…mostly…) works well.
It’s really satisfying having someone to share your collection with. I moved in with my now-fiancée late last year and it’s so fun watching it grow to suit us both.
Ditto. I started my Plex server about 11-12ish years ago for myself and my wife. Nowadays we’re sharing 30TB to almost 20 of our combined friends and none of em pay for subscriptions anymore lmao.
Right? I’m a fucking data hoarder with 30+TB of shit at home and my phone has less than 30 gigs of apps/photo/videos/etc at any point in time lmao.
In fairness, they would have been absolutely stupid to have not done a 100% prewritten, teleprompted PR riddled pre-written response given the situation. Linus sitting down in front of a camera and just letting his mind do Linus things isn’t gonna help anyone lol.
Hell I remember when it was called Read It Later, long before the Pocket days. Back when it was good lol.
All else fails, grab yt-dlp. It’s a fork that I tend to find works better than normal youtube-dl anyway.
I’ve still got “To Sort” folders on spindles of DVDs lol
