I like iOS shortcuts. This week, I created an iOS shortcut to scan my Plex library. Now this may seem weird since there is an option to scan a library from the official Plex iOS app and there are also options to scan the library automatically or periodically. For various reasons (excuses), I didn't like that the official app only lets you scan one library at a time and I have automatic/periodic scans turned off to avoid network drive access, so I created the shortcut to scan from my phone any time I felt like I wanted to trigger it.

  1. Create a new iOS shortcut
  2. Add the "Get contents of URL" action
  3. Get your X-Plex-Token (see instructions on official website)
  4. Set the URL in your action to: https://{ip_address}:{port}/library/sections/all/refresh?X-Plex-Token={plex_token}

You’re trying to make some kind of societal statement based on your upload speed?

  1. I think this is the wrong sub for this content.
  2. This video was terribly hard to get through but the thesis could be summarized as “tech folks want a country that enables them to do tech things and make more money”… ya, duh.
  3. Clickbait

Was literally updating my filtered words just now. I use Voyager app on iOS and it can be done in the settings.

I'll be honest, this kinda feel like the wrong move. If correct information is the antiseptic to misinformation, wouldn't X be the exact place you should be posting your journalism to?

Thanks for your … er… um… reply? I guess? For what seems like a response to a different question than the one asked?

Nice try... North Korea. j/k. IDK man, because I watched "The Undeclared War". Give it a look.

Several other comments called me out for the same thing and you are right, I didn't mean to imply that there are not domestic bad actors also.

 

It probably seems weird asking this on Lemmy, but of course posting this on Reddit would get banned or taken down. Reddit doesn’t like being critical of Reddit. Anyways….

Over the last 10 years as a Reddit user I’ve believe the amount of accounts that are bots or foreign bad actors has tipped past 50%. I have no statistics to speak of, but would love if somebody did and could share.

Based purely on some of the conversations, posts, rage bait, strong ideologies, etc… I’m pretty convinced that a reasonable sample of humans could not or would not act the way they do on that platform. So often now I see posts that I feel are specifically attempting to sow discord and disagreement.

Does anyone else agree? What percent of users do you think are bots? Foreign bad actors?

Sadly, I think Reddit has no desire to find out or do anything about it. There would be no upside to them correcting their advertising numbers.
