The kids are alright.

I didn’t mention it initially but I also heard was that by doing it on Wednesday, they may be avoiding letting a significant proportion of the employees get their stock vests.

But yeah, it’s not smart, and I assume they just don’t care about productivity hits and hidden costs, if the superficial cost metrics are better.

The biggest time saver of AI is its implicit permission to not care about the result.

This article is a great example of why downvoting doesn’t work as intended and might as well be disabled.

I’m glad this was shared, now I am better informed. But the score currently sits at -14 for me, because people are downvoting based on their opinions of what’s in the article. That discourages posters from posting articles like this in the future. Which may mean we see less information.

Please, don’t downvote like this.

Bain or whoever greased the layoff meat grinder for Meta probably recommended it, mainly to avoid anyone coming into work that was laid off and causing a scene.

The industry servicing huge companies basically have one job: help the billionaire owners avoid having to confront any human-to-human responsibility for the damage they do.

Ah! Damn it, sorry. I see he used the secret word and said “no takebacks” and everything. Forget what I said, it’s all very cool and legal.

I have Plex Lifetime too, but at some point it just feels gross and I’d love to have an open source stack. I’d like to have Jellyfin running in parallel if it’s possible so I can switch over at a moment’s notice.

But yeah, that’s good to know.

That’s great, I didn’t know it was per service. Definitely going to set up Jellyfin now. Thank you!

Cornyn spent his credibility backing Trump and this is what he has to show for it. This is why anyone backing Trump as a political calculus, from old-school GOP to MAGA drum-beaters, are tragically deluded.

Trump is an arch narcissist. He’s never ever going to be satisfied. Your only - only - reliable move is to fully surrender your entire agency to Trump. Any other “compromise” is temporary and Trump will keep moving the goalposts further no matter what you do, with no loyalty, replacing you with someone more sycophantic the moment he finds them. The only move is not to play.

But gosh, that’s too hard for all of these conservatives. They all think they’re smart enough to be the exception, that they’re just going to play along and get what they want, that it’s definitely going to be different for them this time.

The 25-page IRS memorandum was given to top Treasury officials last month but it’s unclear if it ever made it to the DOJ. The memo stated that Trump’s lawsuit was filed two years too late. Federal statute requires that people suing the IRS for unfairly released tax information must do so within two years of the infraction. Trump claimed not to have known about the tax information leak until January 2024, but the memo notes that Alina Habba—one of Trump’s personal lawyers–was present at the trial of IRS leaker Charles Littlejohn in October 2023. Trump did not file a complaint until January 2026, over two years later.

Just making to crystal clear for everyone: a statute of limitations defense, where there is incontrovertible evidence that there is no delay in discovery of the cause of action, is about as bulletproof of a legal defense as you can get.

So two things

1. This shows that Trump’s case was frivolous and meritless to any first-year law student, much less the “top lawyers” at the DOJ that assessed this. Trump and his lawyer should be sanctioned at the very least.
2. Because the DOJ is agreeing to settle this, Todd Blanche and any other lawyers who had to approve the settlement should now have criminal liability for conspiracy to defraud the US government. Because Trump is in control of the DOJ, if it can be shown he was involved in the settlement from the DOJ’s side (which seems almost certain), he should be part of the same criminal conspiracy.

Oh, that’s great. But just to be clear, when it’s toggled on, that means all traffic on that device is getting routed back through the host Tailscale client (not just Plex), right?

How many Watergates deep are we now?

I need to do the same thing, but how did you do it alongside Plex? Meaning, can it just point to the same library and neither Plex nor Jellyfin gets confused (because of one generating files or paths that messes up the other installation)?

It would be fine if Plex wasn’t hooked on VC capital and needed to make the line go up constantly. Most self-hosters like me have zero interest in what they are funding with subscriptions.

How does it work on TVs? You start Tailscale on the TV, and have to toggle it every time you use Jellyfin?

Hey, if you know another way for a rocket’s thermal shield to not only cost nothing but to pay you, I’d like to hear it!

Sounds like someone is thinking about the 2028 primaries.

If only we had some evidence of whether she actually would support this in the general election, instead of reverting to bland right-acceptable talking points!

I saw this suggestion, and it’s pretty smart - This may be what I try next, next time I have the energy for it.

The amount from other articles is $1.776 Billion, presumably because it’s a special number that makes the blatant theft of taxpayer funds go down easier to right-wing morons.

It never had any measurable relation to the supposed reason for it and it’s just roughly the amount Trump thought he could get away with stealing, after anchoring public awareness to the $10 billion demand.

Thank you, that’s a novel idea. Have you noticed any spikes, lag, or it’s just rock solid?
