I pay a few bucks a month for access to a giant plex share.
It’s worth it to just, watch stuff, basically anything, instead of fiddling around with different apps and subscriptions and all that.
I’d happily pay a lot more for the same legal service, but it doesn’t exist.
Studios, if you want my money, make everything available in one spot for a reasonable price. Or, continue your bastardization of everything, and I’ll just keep watching your stuff anyway.
I was gonna say the same thing but then I saw the 2200-something upvotes.
This community is doomed to be exactly like the low effort meme sub r/piracy if people keep upvoting this lazy content.

Plex DMCA’d my private server a few months ago.
So I cancelled my Plex Pass and moved on to greener pastures.
They seem to be doing everything they can to get rid of their foundational userbase so they can attract… Ad supported free TV watchers?..
What morons are running the show in Silicon Valley?
All the VC money is being dumped into AI right now.
Tech companies of yesteryear are starting to have to prove themselves in order to get funding, instead of relying on the wishy washy promises of old.
We can already see with Lemmy, that this phenomenon is giving breathing room to FOSS services.
I think it’s awesome, even if we’ll have to deal with growing pains for a while.
who care much more about whether what you said is polite than whether it’s actually a good thing to say.
This is a great point. So much of the talk around equality is nothing more than pandering to gain social approval.
And when you see people getting their entire careers ruined over saying the wrong thing once, or even something they said decades ago, it just drives people into the political margins.
People are more interested in attacking their neighbors for “bigotry” than they are in building a more just society.
I’m putting bigotry in quotes, because the words and ideas that are considered hateful are constantly changing. If someone doesn’t keep up with the latest fashion in acceptable speech, they may suddenly find themselves opposite to an angry mob.
The social climate surrounding us is not an accident. The way people respond to their perceived political rivals is not an accident. It’s a result of how unprepared our society is in dealing with social media algorithms that promote engagement through division. And a result of bad actors capitalizing on that division to sow greater unrest.
This isn’t new. The evidence has been on full display for years. And yet, the damage has been done. There’s simply no social appetite for those who support slow and steady (durable and stable) policy reform.
The recent political climate on “sides” can be summed up with “You’re either 100% with us, no discussion, or you are our enemy” and that’s where true oppression begins.
This isn’t just a problem on the internet. I run into people in real life who think this way, often.
How many times have comedians or other entertainers come under fire for jokes or other bits they’ve done? It’s a lot. Comedians will all tell you that they can’t perform in places like New York the same way anymore, because half the things they say get booed from the crowd.
“Why should I care about Dave Chappelle, or anyone else, getting slammed for some offensive thing they said?”
Because entertainer’s acts are one of the ways that people come to understand the world around them. Their satire is an important tool for democracy to unravel the bullshit that surrounds them. It’s supposed to be the opposite of sterile.
And if “dirty language” means that you’re okay silencing those guys, along with everyone else, you are engaging in oppression on a far wider scale than you realize.
That page has to be satire… right?
The whole “police your language, so there’s no chance anyone could ever be offended” idea is such an oppressive path to a more equal society.
Ah, that makes a lot of sense.
Basically dirty fuckers ruining it for everyone else.
In general, torrenting doesn’t require port forwarding.
“We don’t like that you’re protesting against us shitting on our users, so think about the users, and stop protesting against us.”
What about port forwarding opens Mullvad up to more scrutiny from law enforcement?
I think Empress disappearing would be a net-positive for the cracking scene.
If there is nobody cracking the latest releases, the pressure will mount for new crackers to enter the scene. And perhaps we’ll get a new generation of crackers that bring some competition back into the space.
There’s also a lot of money involved in pirated games, with shops in poorer countries selling cracked games for pennies on the dollar to people who would otherwise be unable to afford, or even download the latest games.
So it’s my opinion that denuvo cracking will never go away, it’ll just evolve over time, like it has since the beginning.
