Hate is not going to get you anywhere.

Yes some of them voted for him but a bunch of them didn’t.

Stop being defeatist… inform yourself… look at the numbers. Look at the evidence. Get active.

If you’ve wondered why everything looks like a coup since he got in, perhaps it is because it is one.

I happen to be against fascists going hard and fast every where without thinking we’re ever going to forget or never going to come after them, but you don’t hear me bitching about it in a speech.

Quality dillution, not to mention distracting the plebeians from much more disturbing realities. Though, I suppose I wouldn’t mind the slightest bit of rooster action on the hawks in the USA and Israel.

1. Bot posts, nonsensical article or meme to community
2. Humans are confused and react by posting lots of comments and upvoting and downvoting the post
3. Algorithm determines content must be worthy of more humans attention
4. Rinse and repeat
5. Humans have no idea how much they’re being played by their own creations

Thanks OP, appreciate it.

I’m not disagreeing with any of your other statements. The enshitification is real. However, let’s not put them in the Adobe camp just because they are selling ad metrics and open about it. That’s actually transparent and still only applies to people watching content with ads in it.

The overall Lifetime Plexpass user is completely not affected by this, so the entire first reaction to your post that it’s time to ditch Plex for some other platform is not really justified.

People who are using Plex for just selfhosting without using their free online streaming stuff are not affected by this at all.

But eventually yes, I’m sure capitalism will also kill Plex. But possibly our planet and entire civilisation before that.

OP is claiming Plex will now SELL your personal data.

Omitting that the user must provide consent, not like Firefox or Adobe just updates T&C and forces user agreement. OP’s title is upvote seeking, cherry picking to quote certain text which makes it seem like they leave the user no choice, and leaving out the part of the text that stipulates the user does have to consent prior to the sale of information.

Moreover, the sale of data seems to be in order to facilitate the ads they show in their free movie and tv content, and even then is still opt in. The ads aren’t, but the data sale isn’t.

For posterity the full OP at the time of this post

Plex now will SELL your personal data

Text:

I consent to Plex to: (i) sell certain personal information (hashed emails, advertising identifiers) to third-parties for advertising and marketing purposes; and (ii) store and/or access certain personal information (advertising identifiers, IP address, content being watched) on my device(s) and share that information with Plex’s advertising partners. This data is used to deliver personalised ads and content, ad and content measurement, audience insights and product development. Your consent applies to all devices on which you have Plex installed. You can withdraw your consent at any time in Account Settings or using this page.

Edit: OP update the title and has my support should they run for public office.

OP is posting misleading hyperbole

This from the Plex site, emphasis mine.

Consent

We take your privacy seriously. If you’d like more details on how we collect, use, and transfer your information, please review our Privacy Policy. Plex is able to provide free-to-watch movies, shows, and live TV by displaying a modest number of ads before and during playback. While it is not possible to opt-out of these ads, you do not have to consent to the selling and sharing of certain information.

We’re never going to get anywhere if people on these communities can’t act in good faith and share correct and information - not sensation. Change the OP or mods delete this misinformation.

ETA: shame on the 63 people who mindlessly upvote this crap without factchecking OP too.

FBI open up

I’ll post it there too, thanks. 32k subs vs 500 though :/

Lemmy is really a different type of audience.

This question each and every time had The West Wing as top rated answer on the other platform consistently, but here even Taskmaster gets 8 votes.

The West Wing was required medicine to get through 45. For 47, I’m hearing good things about 86.

Next level: be a black guy wearing a shirt that says “do not shoot this guy”

Just kidding don’t try this at home

Plot twist he’s under cover FBI honeytrapping successors for Marjorie and Lauren

Pro

But Bill Maher is a walking testament to why it matters a great deal how often you come back to the surface.

Can I guess that the American amoral capitalist company won’t have transferred my Skype credit?

Can’t innovate anymore my ass

Oh come on. He said he barely remembered who Epstein was!

All good. Thanks for all you do around here!

You can see it in the crosspost

And his skin colour doesn’t help either. Word on the street is she may be a tiny bit racist.

I don’t think it can be overstated how far Apple and Tim are straying from their core values with this and the intelligence failures.

It’s bad enough Tim really only made the Watch in his nearly 15y as CEO. His recent capitulation to the Regime and now this, it’s time to go buddy.

You’re good at feeding shareholders and doing the stock buyback thing, but that’s not really what apple is. All of what apple is and you tried to mimic failed: the car, the ski goggles, the power mat and most recently “intelligence”.

These are the signs a company has peaked and is just trying to ride the past successes.

Thanks to Musk and Trump he of course looks like a half decent business leader, but when all the veils of secrecy are lifted and the privacy promises turn out to be empty, there isn’t much left.
