  • The biggest reason trump won in 2016 was, apart from Clinton’s unfavorables, his sense of humor. He could throw out zingers and also be surprisingly self deprecating.

    His problem is that no one was in the mood for any humor in 2020 as he had royally fucked up covid and now in 2024 he’s obviously in mental decline. He’s still good for a quip once in a while but he’s not nearly as funny now as he used to be and way less funny than he thinks he is.

    Biden, meanwhile, for better or worse is exactly the same now as he was four years ago. A little more soft spoken maybe but he hasn’t changed nearly as much as Trump has.






  • I was trying to think how Plex thinks this is going to play out, knowing that this move will piss off their customer base. Then I realized, this isn’t a play for Plex’s existing customer base. This is a play for their users “friends and family” that are enjoying their customer’s shared libraries already.

    Their ‘customer’ base has for many many years been developing a user base for Plex of technologically naive people with Plex apps installed who could never run their own server. If Plex knows, for example, that for every paying Plex customer there’s three other users pulling from someone’s library, that’s a huge opportunity for them to convert those users to paying customers.

    Everyone that set up a Plex server and then shared it with your tech-phobic parents, cousins, friends, etc… made this possible.

    I don’t like it but I can’t argue with the logic from Plex here.
