@sil I run plex in a docker container and upgrading is simply restarting the container. This is a nice win

At a narrow bridge I noticed the car flashing me through had an reg ending in LBW. Rather than giving the standard hand raise of thanks, I gave an umpire single finger "out" signal. They replied with a 4 runs arm wave. One of the greatest human interactions of my life.

20mph speed limits have shown to massively reduce injuries and deaths. So isn't it time we rolled out sharply lowered speed limits and ULEZ in all urban areas? We need to stop putting the car first, they've taken up too much infrastructure space already and keep wanting more.

"The bottom line from Apple’s research is stark: we’re not witnessing the birth of AI reasoning.

We’re seeing the limits of very expensive autocomplete that breaks when it matters most."

Damning proof from Apple researchers that the hype from big tech surrounding #AI is an expensive illusion.

As is well exemplified by http://wcc.crankfoot.xyz/facility-of-the-month/
They do have a few international submissions as well.

@davidallengreen The United Kingdom wasn't back then, and the United States clearly isn't now. I wonder if there's some kind of rule that says any country with "United" in its name is always divided, much like all the countries that call/called themselves "Democratic" were actually the most authoritarian.

Forget pay per mile, road vehicles should be charged per decibel-minute. Engine, tyres, exhaust, horn, alarm, stereo - everything's included. Most of the negative effects of motoring correlate with noise so it would encourage many improvements

Pleased to see @fesshole reach 1k on Mastodon - it's tricky for us to build up followers here as we don't know anyone. If you can help by spreading us around that would be fab - and you'll enjoy it more too as Fesshole is best when replies are lively. Also follow @anon_opin for rotten opinions that are occasionally ok.

@jonhicks @sil plex are splitting out everything into separate apps so there will be a Plex Photos app in the future. Note that they appear to be on the route to enshittification. Caveat, I bought plex lifetime years ago so am protected somewhat by that

I've just done a roughly one min task that I've been putting off for about two weeks and has been eating away at my sanity, sleep and nerves. I feel completely relieved. If you see this, it's your sign to do that thing you've been putting off.

AI will disrupt filmmaking. But not like Netflix disrupted Blockbuster. More like spam disrupted email. A flood, not a revolution. Volume without vision. Output without ordeal.

@sil @Meyerweb "Never Gonna Give You Up by Rick Astley happened closer to the Mau Mau rebellion than to today." well, that's something ! You rickrolled me :)

@bck1402 it goes way back. Colin Baker played another Time Lord first

Caught up with #doctorwho

What?

@cjwatson indeed. But with the modern iPlayer spread of time watching it’s harder. Need to avoid spoilers sweetie

@cjwatson ouch! My kids are post Doctor Who (and currently all left home) so I’ve no one to share it with currently

@czottmann I had the same response to R1. I found the character development so shallow.

Wheelchair user. The scourge of dickheads parking cars and vans across the pavement and completely blocking my way is getting worse. I'm completely helpless and am so frustrated, angry and upset by its impact on my daily life, I now carry a penknife in my chair to puncture tyres.

@spookyfish @fesshole yeah, I decide on the car. Wankpanzers ain’t getting out either

@hischeekiness Hobbies?
