  • They are providing extra service. Using Plex on mobile is now free for everyone, which is a huge step forward. It’s not a bad trade off for server owners to require Plex pass for remote viewing (which is only necessary if you’re not using a VPN like tailscale for free remote viewing).

    I don’t get why people are freaking out over a one off fee to unlock something that has running costs for Plex, which itself isn’t necessary if you just opt for a free VPN client like tailscale.




  • Windows started life as a window manager that you installed on top of MS-DOS. It has since grown to be much more, and I don’t think you can criticise it for that.

    Also, changing the visual theme is their prerogative. They are not required to supply a “classic” theme, even though they did do that a bunch of times.

    I get Lemmy is the bird around here, but if you’re going to bad mouth Windows, at least do it for the many legitimate problems it has.








  • Stark made the suit with no help. He doesn’t need a specific suit because he has the skill to invent whatever he may need.

    At this point, Peter can’t make himself a suit like that, so if he is nothing without it, he can’t respect the power it brings. But he isn’t nothing without it, which is what Stark is trying to teach him: not to rely on power of others.










  • Paprika. I haven’t used anything else aside from having a folder of word documents.

    Paprika allows you to copy/paste the URL of a recipe and it will download only the recipe. No more scrolling through a blog and a dozen ads looking for what you want. You can then create categories and tag recipes for any combination of categories.

    It also has extra functions like meal planners, pantry inventory, and shopping list generators based on the meal plan and pantry, but I don’t use those.

    It syncs between devices. The only real downside is you must purchase per platform type. If you bought the windows licence and you want it on your phone you must separately purchase the Android licence.
