Just FYI, as soon as money starts changing hands, it can open you up to a whole extra level of legal damages for piracy, assuming the content isn’t licensed for distribution. Ripping your own DVDs for yourself is one thing, but selling access to the copies via a media server is way less of a gray area, and they can point to real numbers as damages.
Yeah it’s definitely way past the line where it becomes worthwhile to go after you and there’s even a money trail somewhere to trace it back. IMO definitely not worth any potential legal headaches to buy or sell a service like this.
Im not certain about lemmy communities but look up plexshares or jellyfin shares in reddit perhaps?
Also while I do agree money complicates things, since you are the purchaser, typically it carries less risk.
In either event stay away from shares that do not offer a cheap (few days) or free trial. Then again never sign up for “lifetime” bs, go on a monthly plan so you can drop them if the QoS drops.
The good thing is that unlike the old QuickPic fiasco, here the apps are GPLv3, so these are 100% gonna be forked, still gonna see if i don’t keep all the eggs on a single basket
Your fears about the smartphone are not unfounded. If you take a regular smartphone with you as you go about your day, it will collect a ridiculous amount of data against you. Even without Internet it will cache the data and transmit it once it has signal. Only way to stop it is to install a custom ROM.
Keep in mind that even a dumb phone can track you. If it’s connected to the cell tower then the telecom companies know your location and may share that with others. Also, calls and texts are not encrypted on a dumb phone and are probably being intercepted.
See if you can trade in your new cell phone for a Google Pixel and install GrapheneOS. That is currently the best privacy ROM. You can use this like a dumb phone and it will track you no more than a dumb phone could. To prevent tracking from cell towers, you can put it in airplane mode and use messaging apps over WiFi.
I don’t know how other people see it but the way I see it is if a company makes as much money as Verizon does then there is no excuse for this to happen. They have more than enough money to prevent this from happening tenfold but instead of investing money into the company CEOs get paid. With that being said, I believe that if there are any issues in a company, the CEO should be a 100% responsible. If they are going to get paid more money than anyone else than they should be doing more work than anyone else and if bad things are happening below them. That means they’re not doing their due diligence.
Damn, companies were using Citrix because remote desktop companies were iffy and AWS/screenshare companies like zoom and TeamViewer weren’t “enterprise-y” enough.
I understand the developer, but the complete lack of communication with the community is appalling. and even the subsequent app updates to ad-supported/tracker-packed versions is just disgusting. i understand why tibbi burned out, but the sale process was handled in extremely poor way
“However, we want to assure you that you are not at risk of anything similar with our apps. Instead, we bet on transparency and a fair approach to users … It is a small one-time fee that will ensure you use our apps forever – with no ads and no access to your data” 😂😐
Bullshit, Verizon isn’t a victim at all - they fucked up, they should own up to their mistake instead of trying to go “me too!” to a situation where a stalker harassed their customer and their family after giving said stalker the customer’s personal information.
