Folks sail the high seas for lots of reasons. Some people can’t afford entertainment otherwise. Some people like the challenge. Some do it for political reasons as an act of resistance against corporate greed. Some do it because they want to and nothing more. Don’t make the mistake of assuming everyone else here has the same motives as you.

Capitalism is at the heart of your question. Art should be valued. Artists should be paid. Neither of those things requires capitalism or copyright laws. If as a society we funded artists properly none of this would an issue. The line that copyright is good for artists is total bullshit. It’s a smokescreen that corporations use to prop up the system they created and benefit the most from.

Corporations profiting from copyright laws they helped write deserve to have their profits stolen in any case. Not gonna lose any sleep over it.

Dude, even Microsoft engineers use/trust that script. Why do you think it’s still up on GitHub?

They could try to stop Democrats from voting with the Republicans every chance they get, for one thing.

I’ve been using it for years, and switched to that repository soon after the previous versions were taken down. No issues with it afaik, and I’m very grateful to the developers for keeping it going.

Another banger read

Hear hear!

Awesome, well now we have one :)

Thanks, interesting article. What is the source? I couldn’t find it.

You can edit the post to remove the NSFW tag. I can’t do it for you unfortunately.

Wow these are awesome!

At least Proton isn’t a scammy company compared to most other free VPNs. And they still allow port forwarding on paid plans, so they are quite a good choice for torrenting. I think Proton and Mullvad are probably the most recommended options around here.

Being gay is totally optional, but recommended lmao

I added your alt text, thanks.

Hmm interesting. You actually don’t need to manually open a port if you are using a VPN that allows port forwarding - is that the case for you?

For the uninitiated… this actually means your incoming connection port is blocked :p

US copyright law has been co-opted by corporations for the exclusive profit of corporate copyright holders. Just because a law exists doesn’t mean it is just. Props to the IA for fighting the good fight.

What a piece of junk. Tesla surely can’t survive this amount of bad press and boycotts. Hopefully.

I guess the whole idea of this move is to force self-hosters to pay for a Plex pass. But it’s a funny demographic to try to strongarm into a subscription. Most tech savvy self-hosters won’t think twice about spinning up a Jellyfin instance instead, especially given that it’s FOSS. And for those folks with a lifetime Plex pass this makes no difference.,
