The guild is seeking contracts that include staffer protections in the event of the sale of the company, improved severance offerings, and basic protections from AI.

In other words they've noticed that a bunch of greedy venture capitalists bought them and aren't gonna let 'em just liquidate/automate their jobs for a quick buck.

They're also probably feeling a bit paranoid after watching Hard-Drive have the same thing happen.

They'd have to do a hell of an enshittification to completely ruin Plex, if only because there are old versions floating around that will let you run a server without ever logging in to Plex itself. Though at that point it'd probably be easier to switch to Jellyfin.

IT WILL BE YEARS OF TRAUMA TRYING TO DETERMINE GOOD FROM BAD

Because it worked so well when we decided to skip over all that "good from bad" determination after the Civil War.

Something tells me Boeing isn't getting that exception they asked for.

YMMV wildly. Walmart of all places generally has a good ratio of self checkout to actual cashiers, but there's this annoying trend with a lot of the local stores where they have only 4 self checkouts period but will only ever have one, maybe two other checkout lanes operating. Doesn't matter if there's a line stretching the full length of one of the grocery aisles, 2 non-self checkout lanes and that's it.

No no, we mean it, at least at that price. I'd be willing to kick YouTube a few bucks a month. I'm not going to pay them more per month than most MMOs. They're trying to charge streaming service prices for content they don't produce.

Agh, right, so you are.

Larger point still stands though.

From the site:

IDDQD: Instance For /vr/, /tg/, /g/, etc.

In other words an offshoot of 4chan's gaming-related boards (vg - Retro Gaming, tg - Traditional Gaming, g - Gaming). Unfortunately it's 4chan, so....

Finally. As a Nevadan I cannot being to describe how utterly infuriating it was when our AG suggested it wasn't a crime, specifically "we ascertained that current state statutes did not directly address the conduct in question". It's a massive massive massive relief that he either changed his mind or was playing it close to his vest the entire time.

Also pardon my American but I hope these chucklefucks get nailed to the wall.

yukichigai , 7 months ago to nostupidquestions in on youtube how do I downvote an ad? or how do i tell youtube that "hey this ad is not something I want to see?" I know ad blockers don't work on youtube anymore but how do I tweek what ads i do see?

As others have said, adblockers do still work on YouTube. Specifically, uBlock Origin works great on YouTube, as long as you don't use it with any other adblockers.

Also if you're using Chrome, stop using Chrome. uBlock Origin still works on Chrome most of the time but Google is doing their best to kill it off. Switch to Firefox.

I've been saying it for years: the Jews deserve so much better than the government of Israel. They've been through enough shit, they deserve to not be under the rule of a corrupt far-right government hellbent on committing as many human rights violations as possible. JUST ONCE AT LEAST. C'mon universe, work with us here.

yukichigai , 7 months ago to news in Julianna Margulies Says ‘Entire Black Community’ May Have Been ‘Brainwashed to Hate Jews’

A large portion of the population is incapable of understanding any conflict where there isn't a clearly defined "good" and "bad" side. In their eyes whichever side did The Worst Thing is Bad, and thus the other side is automatically Good and anything they do is justified.

These people vote by the way, just in case you thought you might be able to sleep tonight.

It's to cover the stink of Kai Winn. Even venting the room into the cold vacuum of space can't sweep out every stray "my child" that gets stuck to surfaces.
