When I had Plex play trailers, it was only ever before movies, with trailers for movies. Seeing it every time you watch an episode of a show is too much.

It already does this. I frequently get ads for other shows when starting a show on Prime video. I can barely accept the existing ads.

Ah yeah, I’ve never used the GUI for long enough to care how it looks, and no snap in CLI.

Good to know if my company forces my work laptop to windows 11! (I will not use an OS without a side taskbar)

Can you expand on that? I’ve never used Linux as a daily driver, interacting with Ubuntu systems via SSH.

The privacy concerns are not that Meta will read your messages (because they can’t, as you mention), but the metadata they can read such as your details and who you contact.

“So, Facebook can track who sends WhatsApp messages, when, to whom, from which location (if a user allows), etc - but not the content itself,” Rykov says “This creates a privacy concern for people who want full anonymity. These people should consider using more privacy-enhancing apps like Signal, Threema, Wire instead.”

WhatsApp became the dominant messaging platform in Europe before Facebook bought them. Most people are locked in to it because change is hard and they don’t care that much about privacy.

Ah okay. I’m glad you’re informed on the breadth of content you’re calling shit!

Maybe you should read what they offer? Depends where you draw the line on what is “Disney content” (just kids animated films and shows?), but they have all Star Wars and most Marvel content.

Depending where you draw the line, I subscribe for only the non-Disney content. Though I may have to re-evaluate my sub soon…

Ah yes of course, National Geographic are famous for making kids stupid, that’s why those shows are on Disney+. Futurama is a cartoon so must be a kids show.

If that’s how you judge Disney+ I guess you say the same of all streaming services except the Criterion channel?

Now how am I meant to make an oversized panorama a couple of times a year!?

They are slowly increasing the number of countries where it’s available, but way too slowly.
