Gig economy
  • My favourite part of Tiny Homes is how they came into vogue and were subsequently priced out of reach of poor people.

    Why limit immigration?
  • It isn't just housing it's infrastructure in general. Governments are happy to bring in more bodies to fill jobs and pay taxes but don't bother to plan accordingly and infrastructure takes a long time to build leading to a lagging effect.

    Hospitals, transit, housing, etc. It's all being overwhelmed right now.

    The Future of Plex: Focused, Streamlined, and Ready for Feedback
  • Apparently like 0.2% of users use the images one. Fwiw they're not removing it they're just separating it so the main app isn't bogged down by extra features. I hope for your sake this isn't the first step in deprecation though.

    The Future of Plex: Focused, Streamlined, and Ready for Feedback
  • TL;dr:

    They're moving pictures and music to separate apps because no one uses them. They're also expanding API access and streamlining the main app for movies and TV.

    American woman shot dead at anti-settler protest in West Bank
  • ...was fired at...

    Gotta love a passive voice so passive that it doesn't even clarify that she was shot and killed and not merely "fired at".

    Goodbye, Reddit: How the Internet’s Front Page Is Eating Itself
  • I didn't mind Reddit gold as a method of paying for upkeep on an ostensibly free site. If well-off Redditors wanted to chip in to help with maintenance resulting in fewer or less intrusive ads then that's grand.

    The point when they started losing me was when the Reddit front page modernised into the Instagram feed looking abomination it is today and when they shifted from Reddit gold to the silver diamond thing they have now. No I don't want to make an avatar. No I don't want to follow users or have them follow me.

    It started as the last example of old social media like forums and got metric'd into this half-formed freak of a site that seems to actively resent the users that build and maintain their entire platform.

    Kotaku being Kotaku
  • I'm not disagreeing with you because I know terms like classic are entirely relative but holy shit referring to fortnight as a classic nearly triggered a mid-life crisis. Holy hell. Ow.

  • Hear hear. Soul was a great movie because it was fun for kids but spoke to adults. Pixar does that a lot. A good kids movie is just a good movie that's appropriate for children. Sure you can feed kids entertainment slop and it might even make bank but if you're trying to make a film and not just a vehicle for the line to go up then slop is not it.
