Genuinely think this post should be pinned for prosperity and a warning to others. Lemmy does not appreciate censorship.

So they wanted to cultivate… a ddos attack of peace and love?

It’s more complicated than that. I’ll spare you, but I recommend the forks of Firefox like Librewolf, Floorp, etc.

I’d been a Vivaldi user for a while too but the latest version killed Ublock Origin, so sad to say the browser is now dead to me.

I prefer my critical faculties completely intact and un-altered, thank you very much.
I do not require or desire a 400 watt bullshit-artist yes-man or vulnerability coder cooking my GPU.

Yes that’s understood and particularly great, leaving orgs/people to self host. I’m all for it.

My first gut reaction was “Neat, but no thank you” but the more I think about how many clients COULD be using a cloud hosted privacy respecting platform instead of 365, I quickly bit my lip.

Are you sure that your aunt isn’t just a bitch?

Ha- The whole thing. All of it. I love me a good mechanical and/or ergonomic keyboard but I still REQUIRE qwerty and trackballs are evil.

I hate it. All of it. I hate that your brain can handle that and function. DAMNNN YOUUUUU

Re-investing in a new platform full of tools (Proton suite) isn’t in my opinion a rational answer. My answer is self host vaultwarden, self host your file storage, and choose between Proton and Tuta for mail, and use your own domain name so you can take your email address with you should you move.

In my opinion No-one should ever store any form of personal data implicitly on someone else’s computer.

My entire life is Linux and self hosted, aside from Email. I may get to that one day too. Love my Plex server, even with the more recent baloney the company’s apparently been up to.

I should be using Jellyfin but once I get home from work I don’t want to tinker any more, I just wanna play a game or dick around.

Agree with the message in the video, these companies should be told to pound sand the minute they do a single anti-consumer thing.

Got the prompt earlier this week. Haven’t seen any noticeable increase in its DNS requests, but it’s not impossible that the hostnames it’s reaching out to just aren’t in my MANY block lists.
271 blocks today and all the same old- analytics.plex.tv.

Good to know. When I get this prompt at home I’ll be watching my Pihole server quite closely for a while to see for sure.

I don’t disagree at all, but morally and legally speaking if “no” means “no”, I don’t actually see anything wrong with the prompt or the idea itself. If no means “later” or “limit this data”, or even “anonymize this data”, it’s time to revolt.

I agree Jellyfin’s pretty rad and DOES prove what can be done for free, I’ve used both and Plex is a much more “set and forget” and I personally have had more issues with streams breaking/stopping for no reason with Jellyfin- are those probably my fault? Yep, probably borked a setting or misconfigured it- just saying that’s my personal experience.

I’m just one idiot making noises with my meat flaps. I’m no authority.

If we find out “I do not consent” opts out, I’m fine with it. If we find out “I do not consent” leads to a “Close our account” page, it’s time for pitchforks, especially since they recently had a huge sale on lifetime memberships.

Holy #%!@ng sh#%.

Fantastically written. I agree.

Yikes- those are all local drives huh? Physically attached to the machine?

Were you using the “Combine storage” function?

Will do.
