Well if that argument works out for the studios, Oneida better get ready because I'll be seeing them in court. After all, they made the spoons that I used to eat the ice cream that made me fat.

In recent years, copyright holders have repeatedly requested Plex to take more action against piracy.

Their preferred method of logging into your own home server by going through their website should really give you pause when reading about how anti-piracy organizations pressure them.

Anonymous Data

In addition to the information described above, Plex collects anonymised data when users interact with our services. This includes:

• Server / library data
• DVR device information: manufacturer name and model

There have been numerous stories over the years about how anonymized data isn't really anonymous.

I don't think Red is putting his foot too far into Hyde's ass, he wrote a letter in support of his character to I can only assume was trying for a more lenient sentence.

Now, I am on the can we ban Threads train, I wasn't at first because they hadn't gotten involved in actually joining the rest of us, now they are and they've admitted they want all our information too, I just don't want any part of that.

Things collected from fediverse participants that interact with Meta users...

- Username
- Profile Picture
- IP Address
- Name of Third Party Service
- Posts from profile
- Post interactions (Follow, Like, Reshare, Mentions)

They've never met a piece of data they didn't want to mine, have they?

I followed this from Ublock's Reddit page, it's working for now.

Current anti-adblock status: Latest fixed (ID: 462a8d5d)*

Please, remember these 3 steps:

Force update all your filter lists (click uBO icon > ⚙ Dashboard button > Filter lists pane > 🕘 Purge all caches > 🔃 Update now)
Turn off all other extensions AND browser's built-in blockers
Remove all your current custom filters AND custom filter lists that you have enabled / added manually (Adguard lists...)
It might be quicker to make a backup of your config and restore to defaults before proceeding to step 1.

Fixing anti-adblock can cause ads slipped. If you see any ads slipped, please report back the EXACT URL and your country when accessing the URL so volunteers are able to investigate.

The filter lists can be updated multiple times a day, so please always do step 1 before reporting.

• About the ID above, it's the ID of YouTube's script that's used for anti-adblock, you can monitor it via this link: https://pastefy.app/G1Txv5su/raw (top to bottom is oldest to latest). It means that the current fix is matched with the script with corresponding ID.

If the latest ID (the last line) does not match the current one written above, it means YT has updated the new one and it might cause anti-adblock again. If it matches and you still get anti-adblock, kindly check the 3 steps above. Thank you.

He might have the right to remain silent, but it is clear he doesn't have the ability.

When all the big cable players started making their own streaming services, most of us knew they weren't going to let their gravy train go. We know they want us to use the ad-tiers because Iger flat out said so because it makes them more money, and I'm still expecting contracts to be their next big idea, sign up for 2 years, get 1-year half-price. Meet new cable, same as the old cable. It's following a similar playbook too with no ads to some ads and ever-increasing prices.

Libby (Overdrive) was sold to the Private Equity company that debt loaded and then bankrupted Toys 'R Us while giving their execs big money. Simon & Schuster books are also being sold to the same group. Since they took over Overdrive they've removed the easy ability to recommend books to your local library that you would like to see them buy for you, it'll only get worse from here sadly.

That said, I too am using this function quite a bit as well.

All Google has to do is sell this idea to websites and big companies that hate adblockers to try and ram it through. It'll be like the old days "This site only works with internet explorer 3.0 or greater."

I appreciate them getting the warnings out and standing against it but if you use one of their browsers or follow their blogs/socials, then chances are you already knew Google Chrome was bad for you.

I miss mostly anonymous people cracking games without running around screaming from the rafters about gremlins in their modems stealing their breakfast bars. I can't believe most if not all Denuvo releases are now only cracked by this person.

I'm a big fan of physical games, I want to own them, and play them even if the internet isn't available, and this blocks that, I don't want it. I don't have a gaming PC anymore because I can buy a console cheaper, but if physical discs are gone, gaming PC's allow for piracy so I can keep the games for as long as I want because I don't see every future Xbox having backward compatibility.

discussion about this versus Lemmy,

I think Kbin looks and functions better than Lemmy, at the same time I also know that Lemmy feels a bit more Reddit-like thanks to its threaded forum style as opposed to Kbin's BB forum style. Either way, it's not really necessary to choose one or the other in the long run, thanks to federation, be it here or Lemmy I should be able to follow the content without leaving here.

if anything, try to more actively work on building an alternative community here as an offshoot for those who prefer to stick to the fediverse rather than reddit going forward.

I'm not necessarily opposed to using Reddit, I think there are a lot of great communities there, but I think after seeing everything Spez has done and especially the way they've acted, something else horrendous is likely coming, just look at Musk and Twitter.

I very much would like to see more activity here, and I know that should have come from us here already helping. Perhaps we could all make more effort. I don't even really need the latest rumors, I'd be happy with some weekly show discussions, not even needing them to be live threads.

as far as things go this has mostly been ignored by the mod team at large, outside of a few of us (me, gloom, willpauer) there really hasn't been any legitimate discussion or focus given.

It's that damn discord generation. shakes fist in air /s

Seriously, I'm glad you tried, it was always worth a shot, even if in the end it doesn't work out.
