No I swear I just have an account there for all the SFW stuff!!!

I imagine a lot of people have jobs where it would be trivial to set something like this up on company resources under the radar and then lose access / get laid off without the company ever knowing it’s running

The “too good to be true” sell and complete lack of detail / pricing on their website is sketchy imo. I’m immediately suspicious of any org that profits off of piracy in such an opaque way

This title is under a few layers of irony, there are similar pictures floating around of green spaces converted to highways in the US with the same title, OP is suggesting the European version actually is progress

Sometimes I think the developers of these kinds of projects sometimes drink too much of their own Kool aid – yes emulation as a concept is legal but 99% of dolphin users are not ripping and emulating their own legal games and they know that

Ya I’m surprised that people are advocating for Plex these days especially in a self hosting community, it’s overbloated and mostly exists to force their FAST service down your throat

I’ve never used one myself but I’ve heard talk of various ones either A) taking the public (real) like number and extrapolating the dislikes based on an old like/dislike ratio available for the video from before the dislike removal (doesn’t work on new videos) or B) the extension includes a feature where the user can like/dislike the video within the extension and then the dislike number is extrapolated using the public (real) like number and the extension’s private like/dislike ratio. In either case the number is not connected to the “real” dislike count that YouTube would have access to internally

Pretty sure those extensions all use some sort of estimate methodology, the dislikes aren’t available via any apis or anything

To cut out the BS legal double speak, it’s so you can have a steam-like interface that’s designed to be natively compatible with pirated games and allow friends to access them from your server

It makes sense to me that people are more worried about potentially any corporation / bad actor accessing their data rather than one

It isn’t AI, it’s the economy. Companies that got money from investors regardless of their profitability now have to survive on their own profits which forces them to restructure

regular ambulance rides are free anyway

what in tarnation

“The suckers we talked into giving us money for our crazy salaries over the past decade+ want a return on their investment so cough up”

If you plan on using the local or all filters the people you share a server with will determine what new communities populate there and likely have a big impact on what you’ll come across

Ya I’m confused why people think this is a good thing, the use cases where someone would edit a title in good faith seem very limited to people trying to take advantage of the feature

What are the privacy advantages of self hosting lemmy? as in what kind of data are we otherwise sharing when we use someone else’s instance?

Yes there’s something particularly sketchy about an app that makes those kind of anti-user corporate decisions when it owes its popularity to the piracy community

Curious what you use a local version of MediaWiki for?

I respect the enterprise-level IT operation you run for your family lol
