Right, but when everyone got phone books, those were only shared locally in the town. It would be pretty hard to figure out someones phone number from across the state/country without the internet unless you knew someone in the town.

You could also pay to be unlisted, which is a luxury long since gone. How cool would it be to make your data 'unlisted' by paying a small monthly fee.

And the exact same amount of accountability will be applied here.

"still even mentions plex"

I've been using plex for a LONG time, and bought a lifetime plexpass 12 years ago. I'm pretty sure I haven't started a thread on Lemmy regarding Plex, but I'm sure I'm not alone as a LONG TIME user. Plex just works for me and cost me $75 in 2013. Right now I've got no pressing reason to switch.

If they remove my plexpass features, or start showing me ads / making my user experience worse, then I'll probably look to change, and won't participate in these awful 'plex' posts.

P.S. we should encourage as much new content on Lemmy as possible if you ask me.

Bullet dodged for now, but unfortunately they're using fully automatic weapons and there's a lot more coming right at us.

So sorry :(. The absolute worst part of having a dog/cat etc in your family. Their lives are entirely too short...

For sure that I had been his plan all along... Distraction after distraction... Hey look over here!

I think in trumps mind, the US raises tariffs, which is a line item on the imported goods, he collects said line item. Imported goods end price stays the same (this is what he tried selling to the gullible) and other countries lose out.

Reality is, he raises tariffs, which is a line item on the imported goods, and he collects said line item. Imported goods price goes up. The only loser here is the end user (american) consumer.

Anyone paying attention knew "Reality" was the only outcome

Ya it seems google fixed it today. I'm guessing that is why nextcloud went public so google would magically fix it .

Sure, I've been self-hosting Nextcloud for years. I run it as a docker within unRAID NAS. I use it as a "dropbox" replacement for our family to share files. I also use it to move photos off my phone using the auto-upload feature.

Ironically, just yesterday I uninstalled the play version and installed the f-droid version to get the article's stated feature back.

So, I totally remember this pop-up and luckily until now it has not directly impacted me. I auto-backup my photos/videos off my phone and do move non photos/videos on/off nextcloud on occasion but haven't noticed I could no longer upload regular files.

Luckily...

I self-host Nextcloud I already use F-Droid

So, it wasn't much work to uninstall the play version and instlall the f-droid version. I should probably go through all my apps and see what's available on f-droid and swap. But 1) that's a lot of work and 2) there are some features that break when you do that. I know some mapping software won't work on Android Auto if not from the play store.

Better recall those January 6th "protest" pardons
