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.,

It also means they will now have official payment info to tie everyones identity to their Plex server. So if the cops come-a-knocking they’ll be fully able to comply with information requests.

They aren’t, all their server does is handle the login authentication afaik, and then streaming happens directly from the server to the user.

Here, I fixed it:

lmao me either

Awesome work… I’m sure @RandomLegend@lemmy.dbzer0.com will be pleased you’ve automated his guide :)

Yeah could be something like that, or a stickied post where I can mark each new edit as complete.

I last brought the wiki fully into sync with the rentry version at the end of October and there’s been few edits since then since re-launching the community edition.

How do feel about the idea of creating a c/Piracy Wiki Updates community, where users can post any updates they come across, and the c/piracy mods (or any local instance users who want to volunteer) can make the edits on the wiki.

It might be a good middle ground between having the wiki completely community-driven and having it curated by one or two people like the rentry one is currently. And it would provide a channel for non local instance users to suggest edits.

Just a suggestion at this stage - if anyone else has any better ideas I’d be glad to hear them :)

I’m a gender abolitionist philosophically, so I get what you are saying and I would also prefer for everyone to agree to adopt using gender neutral language and be done with it. But we should still respect the preferred pronouns of others, because it isn’t up to you or me to force that choice on everyone else. It’s not much different from a Republican (for example) refusing to use she/her towards a trans woman. For some folks their pronouns are super important to them, so imo it’s just disrespectful not to use them when they are stated.

Yes, if you are aware of someone’s preferred pronouns and choose to ignore them.

You are describing intentional misgendering. That’s against our instance rules, so make sure you use preferred pronouns for folks who display them.

I guess, do whatever fits your budget and/or conscience? I don’t think we push a particular philosophy. Folks pirate for different reasons.

There’s a fantastic blog post about the development of the new TSforge method here: https://massgrave.dev/blog/tsforge

Definitely worth a read if you want a behind the scenes look at how exploits are developed.

Feel free to report in Ye Power Tripping Bastards if you don’t like our mod decisions. But this isn’t a grievance community about mod actions, so we don’t accept posts like this here. Fair warning, you’ll probably not like the community feedback.

If y’all want to make a tier list that’d be fine with me. Just so long as it doesn’t start looking like an advertisement :)

Oh I must have missed it

We don’t allow direct links to pirated content. Read the sidebar rules. You don’t seem to understand the community.

This post does break rule 3. Just some advice, if you make a more generic request like “how to bypass paywalls on substack?” that would be totally fine (and there multiple methods). But I’d appreciate it if you removed this post.

It’s not illegal to talk about piracy.

Looks like it’s back up now.
