The cracks in the media were already visible 30 years ago. Conservative talk radio was taking off, people were beginning to call CNN "Clinton News Network", and Fox News was right around the corner. There was clearly an appetite—and a market—for partisan news. This was further fueled by the growth of national radio and TV networks that were less beholden to capturing local audiences.
I think the internet just supercharged a change that was already well underway.
Agreed. And Democrats were fucking stupid and decided to just ignore all of the systems Republicans were putting into place over decades. There are multiple conservative think tanks who approve supreme court nominations and spearhead Republican policy. They have been working on it for decades. It's unfortunate that the only political party in this country which can look to the future an make long term plans is the one most likely to follow the Nazi party into the history books.
Unfortunately, the policies you get from any party that is disciplined over decades in putting long term power plays ahead of good governance is ... more long term power plays.
I usually can think of at least a few plausible/possible solutions to most problems. But I am not at all sure what the Democrat's right response should have been.
However, a severe lack of legal tolerance for businesses that use technology to super-scale poisonous conflicts of interest, like surveillance backed ads and media feeds algorithmically manipulated for addiction/attention behavior would have been part of it.
Zuck should have been put away for life a few accidental genocides ago. (IMHO)
I memorized the invisibility sequence. Grabbing Oddjob and smashing in that invis cheat was a sure way to make everyone hate you at a party. Oddjob was a good pairing because you weren't completely invisible, so his short stature/hitbox made the effect more scummy.
Plexamp is awesome and i miss it a bit as a Jellyfin user... But i don't trust the plex codebase. My suspicions were firmed up when Lastpass got hacked literally through Plex.
The LastPass breach was indeed linked to a vulnerability in Plex Media Server. Attackers exploited an unpatched version of Plex on a LastPass DevOps engineer’s personal computer, enabling them to install keylogger malware. This allowed them to capture the engineer’s master password after multi-factor authentication, granting access to sensitive corporate vaults.
Notably, the Plex vulnerability had been patched in May 2020—approximately 75 versions prior to the breach. The compromise occurred because the engineer hadn’t updated their Plex software. While the flaw was in Plex, the breach underscores the critical importance of timely software updates and robust security practices.

In short: other posters want to hear from you, not from an AI. AI written posts aren't actually valuable (we can all dump stuff into the AI just fine). If you don't have much to say, it's fine to just share a link to the source you found.
Just link the article if you have nothing more to say. If you absolutely insist on posting AI-generated stuff be extremely clear that it is AI-generated instead of hiding that it has been ghostwritten by a LLM.
I should check on them again, at the time (nearly 3 years ago) when I was looking they didn't offer it in my area. But then I noticed AT&T and Verizon were showing full signal strength of LTE in the last few months. At this point my phone is better than starlink in terms of latency, throughput, reliability, and I wouldn't have to pay $120/m to a troll.
Eh, I think the tech stack is less important than the legal and regulatory structure.
Most fintechs aren't banks and partner with a Real Bank™ to provide the actual bank accounts. Fintechs are under much less regulatory scrutiny (for now—that may be changing with recent, high-profile screwups) and can move with much more freedom regardless of the tech stack they've chosen.
I think AI is a convenient scapegoat for other macro trends.
