Crypto bros 🫡

That’s really not the only possible move

Never thought of using scissors, what kind? Nice bread!

Sure. On the other hand, I’m not sure it’s a good idea to make a new home at a platform with an investment from crypto bros, that will eventually become Twitter/X 2.0. https://universeodon.com/@cryptadamist/113472115447080382

Yet. Mind you, they are VC-backed. Eventually they will enshittify it.

Pop is not gaming oriented, where did you get that?

That sounds like an awesome idea

Firefox implements v3 without the restrictions.

This guy was running a three year old version of Plex with a known (and later fixed RCE), and was working for LastPass.

But with DoH you can’t sniff the DNS, that’s the whole point.

With TLS and DoH, how is your bank and other information leaked?

… which is not a high bar.

This is about intro detection in TV shows, not ad blocking. I’m not proposing this as a good way to block ads, just noting that this feature in Plex doesn’t use a database.

Pretty sure they just use timestamps from a crowdsourced database, just like sponsorblock.

Nope, it’s analyzing the sound to guess where the intro starts and ends. Turns out this is pretty simple to implement, but quite reliable. Source: worked for Plex

yt-dl was “shut down” at one point. That led to vastly more interest and the birth of yt-dlp. I think they learned their lesson.

No, they could’t just remove a few lines of code and text - if they could, they would have done exactly that. Yuzu was fucked because they sold early access to day one compat with new games. That’s clearly illegal and scummy, even if it’s big bad corporation on the losing end of it. If they hadn’t complied they likely would have lost any litigation and might also get into other legal troubles because of likely pre-release access to games. No judge would have taken any of it lightly.

I think it’s a function of greater screen resolutions being available.

Explain?

Lots of negativity and whataboutism in this thread (which I don’t disagree with), but this is still a good move.

Gotcha
