it's also a great test for knowing whether you're dealing with a mature/competent developer or not

I wonder what’d happen if this person read, like, any international code at all

go for some malware shellcode! you can find italian php! russian perl! it’s great!

(and that’s before one even gets to the variety of stuff that existed/exists as completely separate tech bases - russian pdp clones, japanese minicomputers, etc etc)

whoops e_thread

so it looks like openai has bought a promptfondler IDE

some of the coverage is .. something:

Windsurf brings unique strengths to the table, including a seamless UI, faster performance, and a focus on user privacy

(and yes, the "editor" is once again VSCode With Extras)

(caveats: ianal, and not familiar enough with US corp law)

took a brief look at this last night and no, don’t think it entirely kills it. they’re changing two notable things: one is converting from whatever they are into a Public Benefit Corp, and the second is turning their weirdo ownership thing into actual stock

while those AG paragraphs do indeed indicate that they got told to get fucked, perverse incentives still apply and saltman still needs to try find a way out of the squeeze they’re in. don’t think they’d be doing either of those changes if they didn’t see a possible path to exploiting it

I checked out their profile. the person is (one of?) the host(s?) of this trash

plex has decided that it is no longer worth maintaining merely partial tax on those who "want more", and has decided to continue on their path to become the bridgetroll:

As of April 29, 2025, we’re changing how remote streaming works for personal media libraries, and it will no longer be a free feature on Plex. Going forward, you’ll need a Plex Pass, or our newest subscription offering, Remote Watch Pass, to stream personal media remotely.

As a server owner, if you elect to upgrade to a Plex Pass, anyone with access to your server can continue streaming your server content remotely as part of your subscription benefits. Not sure which option is best for you? Check out our plans below to learn more.

got your own server and networking and happy to stream from your home setup? no more. the extractivist rentlords are hungry.

aaaand this from 22h ago: an insta showing what looks like triple (or more) bodies than that first group

guess they feel comfortable that they worked out the launch kinks? but that also definitely is enough people to immediately stress all social structures
