What's the compression ratio I wonder....
dowutnow?
Dear GOD I want this to be real and canon. The "Compressed Data" Season.
Someone sneaking in prequelmemes again I see.
Man you really don't have shit else to do, do you?
Like seriously how fucking empty is your life that you can't bring yourself to do anything but troll online?
You realize you aren't getting that time back either, right?
EDIT: Shocker, when called out right at the outset, this giant fucking pussy just bails. Nice job being an epic master troll you absolute fucking idiot. Just like all giant pussies who like to troll, he can bring the fire but can't stand the heat.
I agree, but better /= easier to use for a lot of folks. For folks like us its a piece of piss, sure, but not everyone sadly.
Plus, like I pointed out, it means you have to be a lot more vigilant about making sure matches are correct. Plex makes mistakes.
Good luck on your adventures on being a fucking dipshit in other threads.
I'm sure at this point the claims I am unemployed are projection from some dingus who can't stop himself from being a dick online because he doesn't have shit else better to do with his life.
Like, who hurt you? Can you not form real relationships so your only joy is being a loser ass troll?
People who are obsessed with grammar being "right" are so disconnected from the reality of evolution of language its hilarious.
Take your grade school level understanding and shove it chucklefuck.
Bet your racist ass thinks AAVE means black people are stupid.
Omfg lmao
You are nowhere as clever or thoughtful as you think you are.
Like this is "I know what you are but what am I" level.
Lmao youre such a stupid piece of shit.
Do you really think anyone takes your weak insults to heart?
Like what wussy pedantry is this? Fucking lol
Nooo it's the pussy troll again! I thought you had somewhere to be because you've got big things to do?
Walked away in another thread because pussy couldn't handle the heat. What a shitty weak ass troll. Get a fucking life, loser.
You ain't not king, you're a little pussy.
Probably for the convenience of partners/children.
Lots of people who aren't super deep into computer nerdy shit get outright confused when faced with options they've never heard of like "Plex." Sometimes it's just more convenient to respect your partner and keep Netflix because it makes sense to them.
Plex doesn't have easy-to-use parental control options and a lot of parents who might have the time to set up a Plex server for themselves may not have the time to muddle through the parental control options than just accepting that most streaming services have a kid-friendly section already set up and easy to access. Plex's matching algorithm isn't perfect, and opening it to your kids means you've got to make sure the matching is perfect. I've definitely had adult shows be recognized by the matching algorithm as children's shows. If you don't catch that, your kid can end up watching something you'd rather them not. It's just a lot more work to manage your Plex parental controls than just using the off the shelf setup from the streaming services.
Neither of these apply to me, but I know folks who have Plex plus subscribed services for these reasons.
I'm worried it will end up like Game of Thrones and slowly go off the rails as the series goes on, ending sooner than the original series and botching the ending.
I say this as someone not particularly invested in One Piece, but I know lots of folks who are, and it would be genuinely shitty for the live action to undermine the original. I agree, I hope the quality manages to keep up to the fans expectations and in this instance, they don't flub it.
I've been aware long enough of big gaps in the libraries of streaming services that there was never a reason to give it up.
It took until fucking March of this fucking year for Spotify to have any old De La Soul to stream. Good thing I've had a high quality rip of their early discography for fifteen fucking years. Otherwise I would have been shit outta luck on listening to them.
I couldn't stream a killer album from fucking 1989 in 2022. There continue to be massive gaps in their libraries due to licensing issues and people who just don't want to get underpaid by Spotify.
I'm not your tater, murphy!
Tape disk drives and tapes are actually some of the longest lasting, when stored properly. Tape isn't great for active data needs, where you need to read/write the data regularly. Super slow for that. But it's killer for writing once and then dropping it in storage.
Anyway, same thing with tapes, the length of time they last is a fraction of history, on top of needing proprietary hardware to play them.
For example, there was that recently unearthed pilot of a sketch comedy show from Monty Python's Graham Chapman and Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy's Douglas Adams. It's not particularly great, but it was lost to time except for a copy that Chapman had recorded to tape when the show first aired.
Problem was, that tape was so old when it was discovered, it pre-dated VHS and Betamax and was in a format that literally no players existed for anymore. This lead to a long effort to rebuild a player from scratch, which they eventually succeeded, and now it lives on YouTube for weird comedy nerd historians.
Anyway, the point being is that the mediums are short-term storage, for all intents and purposes, and that pretty much goes for all types of media humans uses, going as far back as stone tablets and books. The ones that survived were lucky and most are lost to time due to destruction or environmental degradation. At least with stone tablets and paper all you needed was to understand the language it was written in. Now we're going to need electricity and knowledge of historical data storage practices and technologies.
So, we're always losing history, and people who go out of their way to preserve history and put it in modern formats to attempt to keep the data from disappearing forever are doing a service to future human history. I would say, in this way, pirates who remove DRM from media are taking part in an act of historical preservation.
I'm not your Tuber, Spud!
I'll cop to part of that, it definitely had a good start in a lot of ways. CGI and effects in first season were far better, to be sure. Costumes were absolutely panned and changed due to how badly they were panned.

Yer welcome, Costanza.
Lmao, you know nothing about me beyond your interactions with me on the internet. The fact you're taking your leave now means you've failed as a troll because I'm self assured enough in myself to not be thrown off by your lame attempts at upsetting me. Your profile literally brags about how you waste people's time and you're a troll.
So which one of us is pathetic for having too much time to waste on the internet? I'd wager it's the person who literally dedicates their free time to trying to upset others and waste their time, instead of, you know, having real conversations with people.
Jesus Christ do you have any idea how much of a fucking loser you come off as because of this? At least I'm okay with having free time to waste instead of trying to pretend I'm better than others when they have free time to waste, too.
Fucking pussy. Run away then. It's kind of funny how bad you are at this. I guess it's true anyone who has to call themselves a King is no true King.
True, but he could also suddenly be real useful to Geordi in getting to difficult to access tight spaces for engineering purposes.
