  • I think the disconnect here is a lot of people buy the "lifetime" Plex Pass, which is a one-time cost and not a subscription. Saying "X feature will be locked behind a subscription" implies some new pricing model and leaves users who paid a one-time cost years ago wondering if it's time to look for an alternative or if they're completely unaffected.

  • "a subscription" is ambiguous as to whether it's being locked behind the existing Plex Pass or some new/additional subscription model. The title could have more accurately stated that remote streaming is becoming a Plex Pass feature. As is, Plex Pass users (many of whom bought the lifetime pass years ago,) can't tell from the title whether this is a new subscription cost or if they're completely unaffected.

    "Clickbait" might be a little harsh, but I get where they're coming from.

  • I'm in a similar situation. Not to make the switch harder on you, but someone here posted a page with a bunch of reviews of email providers, calling out things like cost, privacy practices, and cooperation with the federal government. Here's their entry on mailbox.org. You might want to read through some of them while you're still in the free trial.

  • The actual tweet:

    "The United States Military just entered the Great State of California and, under Emergency Powers, TURNED ON THE WATER flowing abundantly from the Pacific Northwest, and beyond," Trump wrote. "The days of putting a Fake Environmental argument, over the PEOPLE, are OVER. Enjoy the water, California!!!"

    So more regressive nonsense to derail environmental protections and pose himself as a savior to people that can't or won't fact check.

  • I'm using a new M3 MBP at work and it literally brought my compile time from 20+ minutes on a pretty beefy Windows machine down to about 6 minutes. Based on that alone, it's hard to imagine using anything else for serious dev work at this point.

    Having said that, there's a lot of goofy Apple fuckery going on too. Multi-monitor support is limited to two displays, so if you want more than that you're stuck with an expensive third-party dock and DisplayLink drivers, which cause color artifacting in high motion like you'd expect from a heavily compressed video, which leads to eye strain. Mouse support is terrible without a third party app to fix the goofy scroll wheel acceleration curve they've built in, and even buying first-party peripherals doesn't solve it. I need a third party app just to prevent Mac OS from opening iTunes every time I connect a Bluetooth headset... So many little dumb things to deal with.
