Or just require an account to have reddit premium in order to use the API.

Yeah, he owns it because he's a dumbass and he's running it into the ground like a dumbass

Maybe it'll happen the same time we all forget how to use any technology as complicated as a tv remote.

Threads has like 100 million sign ups. It could replace Twitter.

But sometimes the only option is the one that I'll need to encode so it plays everywhere.

I've tried to balance it out so I get pretty good quality most of the time. But it skews towards whatever "just works" the most. I want to minimize having to find stuff manually myself or investigating why plex refuses to play something.

And I'm not a quality absolutist as long is it's good enough.

Another option is to add tdarr to your *arr stack and have it automatically convert any problematic audio/video streams into ones your devices can handle.

I have it set to encode truehd(?) audio since none of my devices support it and it also ensures there's a video stream that my roku device can play since it's a bit pickier than my smart tv

I think many people just couldn't care less about pirating and believe the companies can't figure out who they are. For example, I discuss pirating stuff pretty openly on my reddit account. But every single comment I make, I consciously make sure to not reveal enough for people to dox me.

I also don't have Facebook which is how most people figure out identities.

"Hmm, they're an underwater welder from a specific small town and they have three sons. Well this is the only Facebook profile that matches that so I bet it's this person" type of thing.

I want it to burn and I want to watch it burn. Is that such a crime?

[–] [email protected] 31 points 1 year ago

This is just incorrect.

What you are describing is a boycott. And it's probably true that that's the most powerful thing a normal user can do against reddit.

But mods can do much more by messing with their sub. In terms of headache caused.

Personally, I just found out about the Brave one. Giving that a try and it seems pretty good so far. Has an AI summarize at the top of the results which worked pretty well when I searched for a news item an hour ago.

I switched to protonmail. It's especially good if you have your own domain name like [email protected] because you can tie that to your protonmail account.

I like it a lot so far.
