Yep, exactly.
Fuck you - if I'm paying to watch, I should get the very basic of features. Piracy is literally a better user experience right now.
Had no idea subtitles could be copyrighted separate from the film/media they're subtitling (but, it does make sense when you think about it).
I agree with you completely: the current US copyright system is a joke that serves little purpose (in today's media scape).
I wouldn't mind using proprietary apps if they weren't so fucking horrible to use.
Goddammit, if you're going to force me to install your shitty program just because I want to watch a show you own the license to, at least put a semblance of effort into the UI...
As a person who loves watching movies with subtitles, this is why I'm canceling Amazon Prime. The fuckers literally won't offer me English language subtitles for some flicks because I Iive outside the US.
I don't care if the movie itself is in English, why the hell can't I watch with subtitles in the same language as the film itself? Holy fuck.
Or you can just buy a $300 Toto washlet that has all the same features, lol.
Most of these are just luxury models that come pre installed on some designer toilet. Get a normal toilet, install a basic washlet, and enjoy the benefits of the 20th century. (yes, I'm implying that if you only use toilet paper to clean yourself that you're living a pre-20th century life. That's okay, you do you)
What does this have to do with self hosting?
Yeah, my home server has been running for more than a few years, and has been in a few large rooms - it's gotten to the point that connecting takes upwards to a minute on the old client.
With Element X it takes around 3 to 4 seconds, regardless of room size. It's delicious.
Element X implements most of the client side stuff mentioned above, but it doesn't depend on a specific room version: instead, your homeserver must implement/run an additional service (a "sliding sync" proxy, a special binary written in Go that is deployed alongside Synapse) and then advertise that service's existence.
If it does the latter, Element X will know where to connect and will function.
Note that this is only temporary so that people can make use of Sync V3 before it officially lands in Synapse. And it, technically, isn't synapse exclusive either, as it's its own thing.
Unlike PragerU you've actually taught me something!
Just spray Dennis Prager with a can of RAID so the fucker'll skitter back to whatever dark corner of the universe he crawled out of.
Correct. The level of entitlement I've seen here on Lemmy is generally astonishing.
These companies have dozens of members of staff who absolutely deserve to be paid for their work. They're not allowed to run ads, they're not allowed to ask to be paid, what the fuck else are they supposed to do?
Fuck, even for YouTube - if you use the service, either pay, watch ads, or just don't use the service at all. It's not that hard.
