He had WeWork renting the buildings from him, the founder of WeWork. That's some A+ grifting right there.

Here's how that will go:

Each streaming service will release their own aggregator app. Each of these will have a fee associated with them. Each of these will have certain services they don't work with because the lawyers are still fighting over things. Each of these will eventually reduce their search coverage and promote their own content. "You searched for Star Trek, would you like Star Wars instead?"

Even if an open source third party wrote something that did this, companies would change their API pricing or authentication to break it so people don't leave their walled gardens.

Companies are incapable of making a service that doesn't eventually enshittify.

The end goal of a corporation is to maximize profits for the shareholders within the confines of the law.

And if the fine is greater than the profit, or they don't get caught, that's okay too.

I did mine by just adding some iptables rules to set up NAT. It's all of four commands:

echo "net.ipv4.ip_forward = 1" >> /etc/sysctl.conf

iptables –t nat -s 192.168.0.0/16 –A POSTROUTING –o $wan0 -j MASQUERADE

iptables –A FORWARD –i $wan0 –o $lan0 –m state --state RELATED, ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT

iptables –A FORWARD –i $lan0 –o $wan0 –j ACCEPT

Just set $lan0 and $wan0 to your LAN and WAN interfaces. For wifi I've got a couple Unifi access points around the house for good coverage.

Yes, I know IPv6 is better and yadda yadda yadda but I can't remember the addresses let alone type them so I'm not changing anything.

If you want something that's more like Slack you should check out Mattermost. It's got a few other features like a Notion-like project management and a checklist feature. But like Matrix/Element it's open source and can be self hosted if you don't want to use their cloud product.

Volvo’s had really great build quality for decades now. Polestar might be my first EV too, especially if they bring back a sporty hatchback like the C30

If they had some more time they could have pivoted to supporting hybrid work for companies that have a geographically distributed work force. As much as I love working from home, there are some times when it's better to be in person, and WeWork could let people work hybrid without having to move across the country.
