It sucks 😞 I use the feature a lot. Luckily you can still use it for the foreseeable future in the web app... But I don't really use the watch together feature on the web app when I use it. They've sent an e-mail which is more confusing. They mentioned the watch together feature was quickly implemented on the current version. (Was it because of COVID? I don't remember) So it means the feature should be relatively straightforward to implement in the new version? Right? Especially since they mention they spent two years rewriting their apps "from the ground up" to enable them " to bring new features to you more efficiently, across more platforms, with much higher quality than ever before"

Also if they developed it from the ground up they could have taken into account the watch together feature to rewrite as well. They either did not want to implement it from the start. Or noticed it wasn't compatible with the new tech they wanted to use in the new versions.

The mail

It was the year 2020. Life had gotten very different, very fast. Then, at the request of a fan named Joe, Plex Labs quickly put in some long hours creating a way for the world to watch together when circumstances kept us apart. It wasn’t perfect, but this experimental feature created human connection in a time when we needed it most. Now, five years later, we are nearing the official release of our new Plex experience that will bring us closer together than ever before. We’ve spent two years rewriting our apps from the ground up to boost our development speed, which should enable us to bring new features to you more efficiently, across more platforms, with much higher quality than ever before. However, this release also means ending support for some features that we’ve grown to love, like Watch Together. Though support for Watch Together will not be available in the new Plex experience for most devices, you can still continue to use the feature in our web app for the foreseeable future. And because we’ve seen your love and tremendous response to this feature, we don’t preclude the possibility of offering similar functionality again in the future, using new tooling. We know that this decision will impact many of you, and we appreciate your support and understanding. Sincerely, Your Friends at Plex

I have repaired a lot of laptops in the past. The repairability depends on the price and the brand. But most of them are repairable. The issue is often first finding the part number and the correct part on the right website. With some luck the manufacturer has a manual available for finding part numbers and repair steps. But most of the time YouTube is where you end up. What I mean is, with other laptops the repair success depends on more variables. The framework laptops stand out because of the ease of the repair process and the success rate of the repairs. Finding the right part number and part online and the guide to actually repair the laptop and the actual replacing is also easy the parts are designed to be easily replaced. It is also possible to send them the broken part back for recycling, how they to that I haven't looked into yet. The i/o is nice the fact that you can change and decide later to add more ports For the average user this is not the big sell feature. It's the fact that you can save money and still have your device, have minimal downtime. I compared laptops of the same specs or very close to. The added price is between 100 and 200 euros. You'll be happy you spent that extra when your laptop eventually had a hardware malfunction. Or can use an upgrade.

I’ve never heard of The Mole, probably need to find it.

Also, Is Law Man Bass Reeves part of the Yellowstone series? I dare not to touch that Taylor Sheridan-verse, too many spinoffs, not sure if it’s worth the time investment.

I dont know if it is part of the yellowstone series. According to this website it is not, https://www.menshealth.com/entertainment/a45805998/lawmen-bass-reeves-yellowstone-1883/

Movies this week and a bit.

• The Holdovers, beautiful Christmas movie with just the right amount of Christmas theme. Not too much.

• The Mole, from Mats Brügger. Impressive real life undercover story to uncover the criminal deals of the north Korean regime.

• Dumb money, absurd to see the story in a movie. I remember the events while it happens the gme 💎 ✋ craze. Nonetheless fun movie.

Tv:

• I finally started watching peaky blinders.

• Law man bass reeves. They spend a good amount on this show it's looks nice. The acting of the main char is good. Sometimes others miss the beat. Unnecessary soundtracks where silence would serve the scenes better.

• Bookie, easy to watch, light, funny. good actors.

You can add the filter list mentioned in the first comment in this thread in your Ublock origin add on on your mobile version of firefox

It's can be in every product that contains talc since the two ingredients talc and asbestos are naturally found close together. Some make up contains talc and can contain low amounts of asbestos.

I've been using my phone as a passkey to sign into Google I wish it worked on Firefox as well not just Chrome

Weird got a message saying I needed root I'm switched to libretube for now, it's good

Does this require your phone to be rooted?

I hear you. For what it's worth it is mentioned in the end of the blog post, the project is open source, people can run their own overseer API and create less strict or more strict whitelists, instances can also be registered to multiple chains. Don't mistake my enthousiasm for self run open social media platforms for trying to promote a single tool as the the be-all and end-all solution. Under the swiss cheese security model/idea, this could be another tool in the toolbox to curb the annoyance to a point where spam or bots become less effective. Edit: *The be-all and end-all *not be and end all solution

The admin https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/u/db0 from the lemmy.dbzer0.com instance possibly made a solution that uses a chain of trust system between instances to whitelist each other and build larger whitelists to contain the spam/bot problem. Instead of constantly blacklisting. For admins and mods maybe take a look at their blog post explaining it in more detail. https://dbzer0.com/blog/overseer-a-fediverse-chain-of-trust/
