And just like that we’re at silly made up hypothetical situations to drive fear and an agenda. That’s not even worth entertaining.

Btw these changes and the data that is shared/sold are only for plex’s hosted movies and shows - not your personal media collection.

We do not and will not collect information about content or titles in your personal media library or what you’ve played.

Personal media users: we do NOT, and will not, share or sell any information about the content and titles on or your use of a personal media server.

No, I don’t generally carry Firesticks around with me.

Labor could have finished it easily if they wanted to, but they dragged their butts because they knew it was a vote winner. Just like almost every big issue, they never want to actually implement it fully because they want to continue using it to get re-elected.

Easy if the device you're trying to listen on has a tailscale app and a JellyFin app, which is unlikely unless you're using your phone or a tablet/pc.

I had an ipod that was filled with "pirated" (ripped) audio files, never owned a single itunes purchased song, and have used Windows on many computers that didnt have OneDrive setup and never experienced either of those.

Do you have some sources for those cause I'd be interested to read about them.

There might be some slight artifacting sometimes, but theres also significant improvements on sub-pixel detail compared to native that are far more noticeable.

I play on a 75" tv and at DLSS Quality profile you couldn't tell it's not native.

Haha yeh that person probably should have seen if XChat was already taken, but you know what they meant.

I mean, ones that are E2E encrypted are.....

Like, you understand someone has to monitor that shit, right?

No, they don't if they're encrypted.

It's opt-in. Zero issue here.

No, so I only use well known widely used open source programs. If I'm doing a code review I'm getting paid to do it.

And it’s fucking awful.

DLSS? No way lol. DLSS often gives better image quality than native resolution, and gives you a choice in image quality vs performance increase options. It's a god send.

DLSS is even worse cancer than TAA

You've clearly never used DLSS, at least not DLSS3 or 4. I've got a 4070 Super and Ryzen 7 and I use DLSS by choice literally every time it's available.

Personally though, I’d rather just play a game on the Steam Deck directly. Or, if that’s somehow not an option, stream the game from my own PC to my TV via SteamLink.

Stuff like this is great for when you don't have the hardware required to play the game at that quality (or at all), or you want to try a game before installing it.

in testing, the app extended Steam Deck battery life by up to 50%

Because it's just streaming video.....

You're making up scenarios so you can get outraged over them and push linux lol.

Before too many more conspiracy theorists jump in - it looks like they're replacing encrypted DMs with "chat" where EVERYTHING is encrypted:

Lemmy instance admins don't even need a backdoor to read your "private" messages btw.

You're saying this on a platform that has no business model for making money and basically has no security or privacy because you're trusting whichever random people run the instances.

Why would they fall out of orbit?

If your nationwide fibre internet plan rollout was even half as bungled and bullshit as ours here in Australia, it must be a shitshow. It was used as a political pawn, with one party wanting to NOT finish it so they could use it to help get them re-elected endlessly, and the other party opposing it because it wasn't their idea, and pushing an alternative terrible plan that was far slower and far more expensive in the long term. In the end we got a terrible mix of both.

Tech companies don’t really give a damn what customers want anymore.

Most of the time customers don't know what they want until you give it to them though. People don't know they want something when they don't know it exists. A perfect example using AI - DLSS. Probably no one would have wanted their games to be rendered at a significantly lower resolution and then have AI recreate 3/4 of the pixels to get it back up to their regular resolution - yet when it came out it was one of the biggest game changers in gaming history, and is now basically universally agreed upon as the default way to do game development going forward.

And frankly, there’s nothing you can do to resist it

Vote with your wallet. Make your opinion known. If you're just a vocal minority then no, it likely won't make a difference - but if enough people do it, it will. More people need to understand that while they have an opinion, it might not be the majorities opinion and it might be "wrong".
