This post gets it. It can stink that not every post has a bunch of conversations around it, but oh well.

Where the conversations do happen, they happen organically, and are often quite high quality, comparatively.

We can be thankful that Lemmy is (as of yet) mostly unencumbered with the problem of bots pretending to be legitimate users to drive the conversation specific directions (forum sliding, for example), and due to that we have some quality discussions that are able to happen.

Wasn’t this literally one of Christopher Lloyd’s bits on Taxi?

Poor people can’t afford lawyers to fight back.

Rich people can.

Ergot Ergo, they aim at poor people way more often.

It’s a non-answer that their privacy policy explicitly states that they will collect this type of information and that they stipulate what kind parties they can share that info with?

www.plex.tv/about/privacy-legal/

That’s the straightest answer that you’re going to get. Privacy policies like this are bullshit, but they’re also the norm so acting like it’s a non-answer after 20 years of this being the norm seems a little… naive, perhaps?

This isn’t an entirely “new” feature, in a way.

You always had access to see what your friends were watching on your own server. This is a consequences of being an admin, you kind of have to have access to that kind of data to manage your system and streams.

This seems to just extend it to showing you what they’re watching on other servers, as well.

Anyway, if the concern is that Plex, the company, has access to this data, then yeah, you probably should have read the privacy policy a little closer.

Jellyfin is there and doesn’t have a parent company to “phone home” data to.

Or a perfect illustration of why Lemmy sorta rules.

Depending on the perspective.

I know your service is free, open source, devoid of ads, and not trying to steal my data, but iTs NoT uSeR fRiEnDlY.

Because being user-friendly is way, way, way more important than things like privacy, not being bombarded by ads, and not supporting billionaires who use their money to influence the law to benefit themselves and harm us.

Humans are fucking lazy pieces of shit and that’s a major reason why the billionaire class keeps winning, because most of us are too lazy to learn something new or do something the hard way because “there’s already an easy way.”

Basically the plot of one of my favorite films of all time, The Stupids, except they think someone is stealing their garbage, and they intend to find out who.
