Developers very seldom communicate in a way that pleases their company leadership. There’s a reason support, sales and marketing people have jobs. If companies didn’t need them, they would cut them to save cost.
However, the developer should be able to put down their changes and whomever is in charge of communications should be using the change log as a chance to communicate to end users the changes in a friendly way. Not this nonsense. LLM could do it but it, but it’s best to have it written by a person.
Or that the person writing the changelog is in marketing and knows that end users will be seeing this as communication directly from the company. Marketing people tend to foam at the mouth when they see a chance to “connect with their users”.
2·3 months agoYeah you would have to study it. I am sure the tracker itself has much data on this, which is why private trackers structure their rules the way they do. In my personal experience, I try to stop seeding torrents that have more than 10 seeders already and a ratio above 1 on my client and more than 60 days seed time. That keeps me from hitting the limits of my torrent client / network / storage / etc.
It really depends on the tracker in use. I tend to stick to private trackers, so I feel relatively safe stopping seeding at a ratio of 2-3. For public trackers, your ratio would have to be pretty dang high because most people stop seeding on those.
That’s also a viable solution, but for me I just use Btrfs snapshots on my NAS. My files are stored on a different device and the Jellyfin container only sees them as a mounted dir, not even aware that it’s an SMB mount.
I think the point here is that Jellyfin doesn’t have a centralized login or website like Plex does. An attacker would have to know about your server and log into it directly to get access. If you run it in a container, there isn’t a lot they can do other than trashing your media library, which you should have protected with filesystem snapshots anyway.
Downvote, move on
1·3 months agoI been doin it for years already!! It’s easy to just set up a 4-bay NAS with docker containers running apps that replace your existing cloud services
The removable batteries coming back would also impact the iPhone, which actually respects user privacy because Apple is not a marketing company. Apple is a products and services company, they sell tech devices and make a lot of money on services like Apple Music and TV+ and such. It’s expensive for a reason; you can even take the encryption keys out of Apple’s hands for iCloud so you genuinely are fully protected
Stallman, is that you??
I appreciate your perspective here. There is an element of whining and negativity among job-seekers lately. I’ve seen some people buckle down and hustle, and I’ve seen others give up in frustration. The truth of this is that there are going to be a lot of people who never even get to use their CS degrees, and there will be people who “win” and get jobs like this without one. It boils down to what you can do and whether or not a company in your area finds value in it.
It’s not fair. It’s just what we have to deal with.
This would be a great idea if literally any other tech company were even slightly above such behavior. This is just what Capitalism is all about, baby. Corruption. Get used to it, because this isn’t changing until Americans revolt (culturally, violently, politically, economically? who knows) and that likely isn’t happening with this complacent and socially isolated of a populace
Just remember to read the Stranger, Seattle’s only newspaper,
The Capitol Hill Seattle blog is a good one to subscribe to, lots of good local coverage
No I’m talking about things that happen in the city I live in
This happens all the time in cities. The good cities take it as prompting to perform a traffic study and determine whether a crosswalk would be safe there, then implement one if possible. This happens in Seattle sometimes.
If you’re in Washington as in this article, and need a lawyer after being arrested at a protest, the phone number is 206-OK-TRY-ME
I mean, I am an engineer who does customer-facing work… it’s not been my experience that sales and marketing people are this bad. I suppose maybe I just work for an exceptionally chill company, but wow, that really sucks.
I’m sure you’re just venting, but be sure to monitor your attitude going into work because this kind of resentment, if held at all times, will drive you insane.
