Why not? Because I don’t care about ads in a service that’s just thrown in as a bonus to a service I already pay for and would still pay for even if they got rid of it?

What’s that got to do with freedom?

I find it hard to get too upset about this since Prime Video is just a throw-in bonus that I'm not paying for. Even if it didn't exist I'd still be subscribed to Amazon Prime. The only thing I really used Prime Video for, even when it didn't have ads, was to find movies to add to Overseerr.

The gigantic increase in simps, incels, and losers basically. Girls can take advantage of them to the tune of thousands of dollars a month just by posting some saucy videos and pretending to be interested in them by responding to messages or saying their name in a video.

More power to the women, honestly. It's the mens fault.

Anyway, I’m not one to spread conspiracy theories,

Yet here you are, doing so lol

Removing people who aren't allowed to vote from voting rolls? You're against that?

Funny how this "the election was stolen" narrative is taking hold among the left now, despite laughing off any suggestion from the far right of it happening in 2020 lol.

I just commented saying OP should consider this haha. I just went from a DS920+ to a M4 Mac Mini and Terra-Master DAS.

What issues are you having with it? I just did this and have found it to be pretty much perfect.

I was like you and had my Synology DS920+ doing everything - the full *arr suite in docker containers, Plex server (native), torrents (in container), etc. I've recently moved away from that to a new setup which I think will be significantly better and simpler.

• Mac Mini M4: this is running Plex Media Server and all the *arrs. I'm currently running them natively, but might move them off to docker. Don't really see any need to though, they're safe and I know how to configure them like the back of my hand at this point.
• Terra-Master D5-310 5 Bay DAS: running in RAID5 with 5x10TB WD Red drives. Since this is connected directly to the Mac via USB-C, so is essentially a external HDD, it can be backed up with BackBlaze for $99/year! This is great because it's just plain RAID5, not Synology's proprietary RAID (which is great btw) so I'm not locked in to their hardware ecosystem.

The Mac has absolutely no problem transcoding as many streams as you can throw at it, and the power draw is just insane. It tops out at like 50W or something stupid, and idles at about 4W.

Says the person that unironically said this....

I bet you believe Trump won the 2024 election with no tampering or unfair purging. I don’t think evidence works on your kind of person. Therefore you are unlikely to convince me of anything.

lol. Also says the person who was participating in r/harrypotter lol. I think you are still in the education system, and are proof that it is failing.

The education system was significantly better in my time, which is why I can think critically and listen to opposing viewpoints without getting "triggered" and start name calling and attacking.

We're done here now, right? No point wasting any more time?

Why? I've been working for nearly 30 years.

How old are you? How about instead of trying to find ways to discredit me and find some "gotcha!" you try and just have an adult conversation? You've already resorted to calling me a "bad faith troll" simply because I said your story doesn't add up, now you're trying to get personal details to try and use that against me? lol

How can I share a comment that has been removed? The original is not accessible to me.

The ban message usually has the offending comment in it.

The one you just posted clearly states why you were banned from r/harrypotter - you admitted to deliberately reposting content that was removed already. Even if that wasn't the content that was removed, you told them that you were doing it.

Also if you were banned site-wide then you wouldn't have been able to edit that comment in order to get banned from the harry potter sub. So did you actually get banned from reddit, or just from a few subs? Individual mods banning you is different to admins banning you. Your story doesn't add up.

I hate that you're making me even remotely defend reddit lol. Reddit is a far left agenda pushing shithole. You will not be banned from the entire site for saying "Elon musk fuming is fatally toxic". You just won't. Were you actually perma-banned from the entirety of Reddit, not just r/harrypotter?

But no point in further engaging with a bad faith troll.

I bet you believe Trump won the 2024 election with no tampering or unfair purging.

Oh so you think the election was "stolen" do you? I thought that didn't and couldn't happen?

I’m sorry but I don’t believe you were banned site wide for saying that, and no one has been banned for saying “Luigi is innocent”. Not a chance. Can you please share the ban message and link to the comment?

As for tolerance, well I’m sorry but I think it’s pretty clear that that is right lol. Coincidentally I saw this last night on Twitter:

As we saw with Simone Biles recently, who was attacked by her fellow democrats because she wasn’t pro-trans enough in her vile attack on Riley Gains, the “tolerant left” are anything but. They even like to proudly cite the “paradox of tolerance” at every opportunity.

plus banning users who mentioned Musk or Luigi as “violent”

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't the new rule to remove and/or ban any comment or person who calls for violence against specific people? I wouldn't really say that's "disinformation sympathetic". Even if it's what you originally said, how does that have anything to do with "providing a platform for the spread of disinformation"?

Also a lot of promoted content is disinformation

Promoted content as in ads?

tl;dr: "digital sovereignty". "EU leaders are seeking to reduce Europe's dependence on foreign technology providers, primarily those from the United States, and to assert greater control over its digital infrastructure, data, and technological future."

Fair enough and makes sense. Every country should be trying to be as independant as possible IMO.

Are you saying that reddit is right wing/"conservative" leaning?

Reddit’s policy changes have made it clear that providing a platform for the spread of disinformation is a central part of its current business model

I left reddit years ago, what are these policy changes that you're talking about and how do they relate to spreading "disinformation"?

The entirety of Reddit is astroturfed lol. Has been for years.

Dunno, have you made it/them not track your or something? What sites are you talking about, X, insta, etc or just X?

I almost immediately notice when it determined that I am interested in a topic because all of a sudden I get almost overwhelmed with content to do with that. Youtube I've found takes it to the absolute extreme - search for something once and it thinks that's your whole life haha

It literally does feed you more of what you have been looking at lol.

Demonstrably incorrect. Advertising is responsible for many, many fantastic free services. Without it they wouldn’t be free or wouldn’t exist.
