  • No I accidentally included that edit from my previous comment in another post which experienced that.

    The voting behaviour is very strange. To my autistic head black on white data indicating the “leader of the free world” may have have taken control over the largest nuclear arsenal of the world seems pretty unequivocally the most important message of our times, but people on social media just go

    _But the way you’re saying it is not nice, so until you learn to be kind, I think the best path forward for humanity is to downvote so less people see that random information you’re posting. (Which I didn’t bother to read frankly, because did I mention your tone was off) _

    I’m beginning to understand why the human race is really a race to the bottom.

  • If you’ve wondered why everything looks like a coup since he got in, perhaps it is because it is one.

    Edit: the upvote/downvote ratio on a comment like this shows how rapidly Lemmy is turning into Reddit. Nobody cares about the data, if you remotely sound like defending the GOP down the chute you go.

    It’s your loss America. I’ll sleep fine as long as we don’t have electronic voting systems here.

  • Hate is not going to get you anywhere.

    Yes some of them voted for him but a bunch of them didn’t.

    Stop being defeatist.. inform yourself.. look at the numbers. Look at the evidence. Get active.

  • Quality dillution, not to mention distracting the plebeians from much more disturbing realities. Though, I suppose I wouldn’t mind the slightest bit of rooster action on the hawks in the USA and Israel.

    1. Bot posts, nonsensical article or meme to community
    2. Humans are confused and react by posting lots of comments and upvoting and downvoting the post
    3. Algorithm determines content must be worthy of more humans attention
    4. Rinse and repeat
    5. Humans have no idea how much they’re being played by their own creations
  • Thanks OP, appreciate it.

    I’m not disagreeing with any of your other statements. The enshitification is real. However, let’s not put them in the Adobe camp just because they are selling ad metrics and open about it. That’s actually transparent and still only applies to people watching content with ads in it.

    The overall Lifetime Plexpass user is completely not affected by this, so the entire first reaction to your post that it’s time to ditch Plex for some other platform is not really justified.

    People who are using Plex for just selfhosting without using their free online streaming stuff are not affected by this at all.

    But eventually yes, I’m sure capitalism will also kill Plex. But possibly our planet and entire civilisation before that.

  • OP is claiming Plex will now SELL your personal data.

    Omitting that the user must provide consent, not like Firefox or Adobe just updates T&C and forces user agreement. OP’s title is upvote seeking, cherry picking to quote certain text which makes it seem like they leave the user no choice, and leaving out the part of the text that stipulates the user does have to consent prior to the sale of information.

    Moreover, the sale of data seems to be in order to facilitate the ads they show in their free movie and tv content, and even then is still opt in. The ads aren’t, but the data sale isn’t.

    For posterity the full OP at the time of this post

    Plex now will SELL your personal data

    Text:

    I consent to Plex to: (i) sell certain personal information (hashed emails, advertising identifiers) to third-parties for advertising and marketing purposes; and (ii) store and/or access certain personal information (advertising identifiers, IP address, content being watched) on my device(s) and share that information with Plex’s advertising partners. This data is used to deliver personalised ads and content, ad and content measurement, audience insights and product development. Your consent applies to all devices on which you have Plex installed. You can withdraw your consent at any time in Account Settings or using this page.

    Soure: https://www.plex.tv/vendors/ (Might have to clear cache)

    Can also read about the changes here: https://www.plex.tv/about/privacy-legal/

  • Edit: OP update the title and has my support should they run for public office.

    OP is posting misleading hyperbole

    This from the Plex site, emphasis mine.

    Consent

    We take your privacy seriously. If you’d like more details on how we collect, use, and transfer your information, please review our Privacy Policy. Plex is able to provide free-to-watch movies, shows, and live TV by displaying a modest number of ads before and during playback. While it is not possible to opt-out of these ads, you do not have to consent to the selling and sharing of certain information.

    We’re never going to get anywhere if people on these communities can’t act in good faith and share correct and information - not sensation. Change the OP or mods delete this misinformation.

    ETA: shame on the 63 people who mindlessly upvote this crap without factchecking OP too.

  • Lemmy is really a different type of audience.

    This question each and every time had The West Wing as top rated answer on the other platform consistently, but here even Taskmaster gets 8 votes.

    The West Wing was required medicine to get through 45. For 47, I’m hearing good things about 86.
