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.

When it comes to Google, even if you pay them you are still the product, YouTube Premium might stop the ads on YouTube but it doesn't stop the data collection for other Google products and partners.

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 > โš™ Dashboard button > Filter lists pane > ๐Ÿ•˜ Purge all caches > ๐Ÿ”ƒ 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.

I still read "young adult" novels, they are clearly aimed at kids/teens but they are short and I can read them leisurely over a couple of days.

I agree, there is nothing in the megathread they linked to, or I'm blind. But if you follow it through to the FMHY megathread there is some iptv stuff, but not providers or anything like what I believe you to be looking for.

Most good providers are very very private and most of their users are just as private. I have no leads but look forward to seeing if you turn anything up.

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.
