For some languages gender-neutral pronouns aren't possible or aren't appropriate. It's really only in English and maybe five other languages that gender-neutral pronouns are a real thing and even in these languages if you're not used to using neutral pronouns or reading them in common writing sounds like a mistake to begin with. It's generally just easier to automate the task based on names, and the library itself comes from a time when that wasn't a controversial thought. Lol
I paid $100 to play Forza Horizon on my own device too - should that have been free?
This is a complete false equivalence and I feel that you know that. The idea of a console is to expand it by buying new games. That's not unexpected.
Your entire argument seems to be that software should be free
I am a software developer. The argument isn't that software should be free. The argument is that this is an exceptionally poor business model and as a developer I'm disgusted that people are defending it. The VC which owns Plex and other VCs will use this "logic" that you have to move the goal posts further, and further, and further, and further until there's no such thing as free software anymore. And I think that's fucked up.
At the end of the day you're paying twice to avoid buying IP. Just fucking buy the IP if you're going to be stupid. Movies are like $12. At $250 you're paying $2.10/mo in addition to your hosting costs.
Just go buy 20 movies for the same price. It's so dumb.
No other solution exists that is as easy as Plex and as secure as Plex.
Entrenchment. This is a profoundly absurd statement.
I paid like $100 for a lifetime Plex Pass like 10 years ago.
You paid $100 to access software hosted on your own devices. That's wonderful you think that's a great idea. I'm sure the Plex devs love you and would kiss you right on the mouth.
They sign in and they can stream from everyones libraries. No VPNs needed, no other hoops.
Yes. There are several recent instances where he's "slamming" Israel. And then 3 decades where they're best friends, including up to the end of 2024....
Syncplay requires adequate hardware and network. Especially if you're transcoding at the same time. You're transcoding for 2 people at once, and depending on your setup sending to each person at different rates. It's hard to coordinate that.
But she fed the troll anyways by telling him to fuck off... These people feed on attention and she gave them a significant amount. Way way way more than he was hoping for with a seemingly innocuous comment.
I know a lot of women who didn't vote for her because she was a woman. Shit is crazy to me, but that doesn't mean it's not the reality. I'm sure there are a shocking number of people who didn't vote for her because she's a woman.
This is the ideal progressive ticket, IMO. It's not as scary for the mid as having a female President (grow the fuck up, guys), but she'll still be able to provide her support and opinion far above her current station. People seem to really like Tim, which is great.
But in the end none of it matters. They're all historically pro-Israel and people don't forget that. They've begun to change their tune, but only just now. It seems disingenuous to get votes, which just seems...hollow.
There are two schools of thought, and one of them is insanely wrong.
The current preferred method (by youngins) for pirating is by using a VPN provider to "hide" your torrent traffic, which is generally valid, but it's not a silver bullet and it's a wrong way to think.
The other is to use a seedbox, which is a remote server hosted in a country that doesn't recognize piracy as a crime to begin with...
The choice is clear. Especially when you consider to get a good private VPN you'll have to pay $5-10/mo. You may as well pay $5-10/mo to commit a crime where no one thinks its a crime, then you never have to worry about it. Using a VPN you can still get caught, it's just exceptionally rare because conditions have to line up perfectly. But what if your VPN is down, and you accidentally begin a download? You willing to get a $100,000 fine for that?
This is true, but when you factor in only maybe 10% of people know and understand how to enable a VPN kill-switch, it doesn't bring much comfort.
