I used to love A&E when it was biographies and Lovejoy.

The major TV networks were so embarrassed by being outproduced in quality by these niche cable networks that they raised the level of their programing to match. LOL, no. They bought out all the niche cable TV channels and turned them into trash. Hurray Capitalism.

Edit: and in the streaming era, the same kind of thing happened to Pluto. They had some great, quirky programs. Like the train channel. Checked them out a couple weeks ago and they look completely different post buy out. All the tech and gaming content gone. No train channel. Bunch of channels that just run reruns of one show.

Exactly. I’d be shocked if they DIDN’T find US munitions.

Banzai51, to piracy in YouTube Ad-Blocker policy - Can it be explained by ad revenue numbers?
@Banzai51@midwest.social avatar

You have to remember the shareholder mentality: If you’re not growing by 20% forever, you’re losing money.

Banzai51, to piracy in Question regarding ripping dvds (yes DVDs)
@Banzai51@midwest.social avatar

Use MakeMKV to actually copy the DVD. Handbrake if you want to transform it to another format/resolution to save disk space.

Honestly, with the Handbrake process so time consuming, I’ve started ripping with MakeMKV then no further compression.

Right now, disk is relatively cheap.

Banzai51, to piracy in Youtube’s Anti-adblock and uBlock Origin
@Banzai51@midwest.social avatar

For a day I got the no video but audio playing ads.

On my Shield where I don’t have uBlock Origin, I get bombarded with ads.

@Banzai51@midwest.social avatar

Here in Michigan, we don’t blink about taking Canadian pennies because they are common and banks take them. In Texas, I wouldn’t expect that.

I don’t know, I think the radio shock jock got what he deserved.

Banzai51, to piracy in RANT: I hate the fact that my ISP can restrict access to certain sites
@Banzai51@midwest.social avatar

This is why we need more competition in the ISP space. And use a VPN.
