To be fair, for their location they vastly underpaid

Technical director

Yeah, Ubisoft. I applied as a Sr Engineer. Did the interviews, including a “Sr programmer” HR interview.

I got the offer, Sr engineer, signed the papers. Started. Not even 3 days into starting they said they made a mistake I wasn’t supposed to be a Sr role, redacted the title, but didn’t touch my pay.

I still tell people I was a Sr there. I don’t care, lol. Apparently they did the same to my boss, he was supposed to be a VP. Dropped to a TD

To be fair last time I used Kodi was like 2017, that was when it kept getting raided lol

A VPN setting up for a mother who has no technical experience and lives 3 hours away and a grandparent who’s 80 and lives 2 hours away is indeed hard.

Most of my Plex was set up to cut streaming and cable on their end, I haven’t fully cut streaming yet… 😞

If people thought TikToks invasion of privacy was bad, wait until they realize how bad meta products are

You can self host Plex and it has more developed features than jellyfin. Sadly, Plex needs a subscription and it’s only worth it if you buy the lifetime on a flash sale.

I have a very organized Plex server that utilizes as much features as I can, and Jellyfin just lacked a lot of that. Basically that 10% missing is what I want. It’s not bad, if I was to redo everything from the ground up it’d be Jellyfin or Plex, but definitely not Kodi like suggested above.

Edit: I believe for me it was remote access ease of use by Plex that I use heavily.

Kodi is dated and barely works and jellyfin lacks basic features. I have both jellyfin and plex, I prefer Plex but I have my own server with lifetime bought for $50

Plex?

They’re bankrupt, so no. This is desperation at it’s finest

Lol true 😂

No, but there are so many other systems already out there that compete with it. Why reinvent the wheel when your company is already bleeding billions?

Why? Seems like a massive waste of resources. We already have several source controls

A tad fucked that you only think of the current and not the length of their impact on your life. Yes, the current can be bad, but you have think about the impact they have - especially if someone has dementia.

Depends how you use LLMs. I didn’t say use LLM to solve the problem, I have it breakdown the documentation and make it easier to read/provide examples of usage + explain the steps.

Stackoverflow also has incorrect answers always marked as correct and isn’t a great source to learn from, the best way to learn is just reading documentation and having breakpoints to read the data coming in.

I had to make a stackoverflow back in the day to correct so many incorrect answers.

I don’t pay for a single one, I’ll use their free services for a specific question to have it summarize the internet basically. I try and avoid chatgpt.

At work we have an internal AI system, and Claude. I utilize both of these to make my workload smoother - but have been finding myself just coding more often than using them because they almost all eventually produce garbage and refuse to listen when you say it’s wrong.

That eventually you have to say goodbye to parents, grandparents, animals, and loved ones - and there will always be a void you can’t fill that they filled.

For programming questions why not use an LLM? The days of searching a specific problem are long done. LLM+Documentation is all you really need now days.

Trump and his reflection

Hard to escape Google for its consistency. At work though I use bing(it’s trash) 😂

Edit: haters gonna hate, bing at work because I’m too lazy to switch defaults. Google for consistency, whether you like it or not 99% of the comments all says they use DDG and then admit they still use Google for consistency.

You’ll find yourself always back to Google.
