  • Screw this guy, but what's baffling is that Meta didn't do the same to Netanyahu. I guess genocide doesn't violate their policies.

    Build a fucking train.

  • Directly via exhaust? It's a significant number, but maybe not the biggest one. But add manufacturing, oil (or battery materials) extraction and refining, road infra construction and maintenance, emissions connected to suburbanization, microplastic pollution from tires, health and safety impact, and you'll get a much grimmer picture. LEDs won't cut it, and cars do not scale to 8B people.

  • I'm curious to hear more about this. What's the app?

  • Right, I use Plex now too. However, it only has things that I already downloaded. So if we don't plan, we end up watching something on Netflix instead of spending extra time on looking+downloading+going back and forth between rooms.

  • That's fair, if this was your case. No point in paying for something you don't like.

    As much as I hate old titles disappearing, I also enjoy the new content Netflix offers. To each their own, I guess.

  • This would be strange if Netflix didn't have enough of easily accessible good content.

    When after finishing work we want to watch “a movie”, it's much easier to choose a Netflix recommendation than to do a half an hour reasearch online and then wait for the movie to be downloaded.

    Now add to this time, energy, and expertise needed for looking up and trying pirating options, figuring out technical aspects, paying for a VPN, doing maintenance… Very few can and are willing to do all that.
