You're welcome. I recommend disabling the Piped API as it will cause constant connectivity issues, and you don't need it if you have a VPN.

Sure we can but will we? No.

Twitter has only lost ~10% of it's userbase after repeatedly abusing its own users. Reddit probably less. After everything we've learned about Meta, tens of millions of people signed up on day 1 to join their new service, Threads. Google Chrome still has like 80% market share.

Changing is honestly a trivial ask, but we won't, because no one cares.

Nothing. It's dogshit.

My guy there are like 34 different ways to get around YT ads on mobile and TV.

YouTube, I've been using ad-blockers since the advent of pop-up ads in the late 90s. You've never been able to stop this, and you aren't going to now.

I don't use the YouTube app or watch your videos on my browser. I use FreeTube on desktop, LibreTube and GrayJay on mobile and FCast on TV so 🖕

I've been watching Reddit and Twitter, nothing can surprise me anymore.

I'm sure that's what Google wants. You can either give them your data or you can go somewhere else, but hopefully you choose to give them your data because they make it too inconvenient not to.

Well it sounds like they took it down immediately so it was "resolved" but I guess that doesn't undo the lost revenue.

The same photo is still in use by The Movie DB, one of Plex’s data suppliers.

So someone submitted a copyrighted image to a 3rd-party user-created database and Plex ingested the image.

Seems like the claimant has a legitimate case but it's strange that they didn't sue the people actually providing the image. Not enough money in it, probably.

This can also theoretically help get around Netflixes password sharing restrictions

This is the interesting bit here. I assume others will follow in Netflix's steps shortly (Netflix made a fuckton of money from this) but this would also help you circumvent this crackdown with your Apple subscription...
