Yes, I’m happy to. My point is that your tone was unnecessary and rude. Perhaps unintentionally.

My brusqueness was a tone shift. Yours started from the get-go. So your whiplash from the change was my first impression of you.

Just food for thought for future interactions and starting a discussion from a point of incredulity and dismissal.

The point is that under offering users the ability to have all network requests altered is not secure. The user needs to authorize it and there are valid reasons to do so, but there are also bad actors, that will misuse that. I am pretty security conscious, but I can’t tell you which extensions have which permissions on which devices I use, between Firefox, chrome, safari on windows 10,11, android, iOS and opensuse. Placing all the responsibility on the user just removes it from where it should be, which is privacy focused code.

Netflix literally said they use the data to see what series to pay for. That is another way of saying they monitor torrents for success.

Look, it’s ok to disagree, but you don’t need to ask for evidence for everything you read on the Internet that doesn’t affect you personally.

If that evidence is offered, it’s ok to just admit you are surprised and/or wrong.

Streaming services only have data on their own streams.

I remember reading about it years ago, around the time Game of Thrones was quite popular. Looks like it was 10 years ago. https://torrentfreak.com/media-companies-track-pirated-downloads-for-marketing-purposes-150218/

However, wouldn’t it be foolish of them not to look at what is being pirated? They love scooping up data. It is essentially free Neilson ratings.

I assume they did it in tranches to allow ramping up or down. However, it seems like they are lagging in the ramp up.

Probably the same guy, just fucking with everyone.

Yes, but other extensions are not and can access the same permissions. They can even steal the unlock origin source code to do so.

They monitor torrent numbers as a guide to success.

I recently started watching Motherland, a British sitcom about school drop off and arranging childcare. The logistical side of motherhood. I went on IMDb to check out one of the actresses. Then I noticed he was a writer. As was his wife.

I realised that it must have been pre crazy, as she divorced him when he went off the deep end of terfing. I was disappointed as I couldn’t in good conscience support him. I then further realised I’d torrented it through sonarr, so I’m happily continuing to watch and glad he’s no longer involved with the new spin off, amandaland. I got interested as Sharon Horgan was the main writer now, an I like her stuff. It’s a dry look at societal expectations, but more self deprecating than the mean Spirit of Linehan.

However, father Ted, black books and IT crowd are genius, even if they have problems in hindsight.

Because energy security is a real thing. Ireland would become dependent on the whims of foreign investors and/or purely profit motives. This may not be in their long term interest, both for stability and energy availability, and for green energy commitments.

Only if you’re the blanket stealer.

It depends on whether they can control the military. If so, they need them for when people don’t comply. However, the military has many, many people, so it comes down to having to buy compliance against the national interest which can be more expensive.

Wow, if my super fund was involved in political machinations, I’d want to move funds. Trump doesn’t want investment in America. He wants bribes.

As much as approaching an eruption is dangerous, Etna has slow moving lava, so nobody has died in hundreds of years, despite multiple,e eruptions and devastated villages.

No, but the person you responded to didn’t specify. They just said what group of people would use these. Those who cant safely operate a knife. That includes children. I’m not saying it’s made up exclusively of children.

You’re mistakingly assuming that because it was made for a sunset that ist not designed for the larger group. It’s designed for the subset, which forms part of a larger group. It’s still, then, for that group, especially for the subset.

That it’s based on trust.

More like B+

Isn’t a child just someone who can’t safely use a knife?

No, DON’T PANIC.

I wouldn’t be surprised if they require a game to be downloaded and played to count. I know on PS , if you have already downloaded, after purchase, a refund is less likely, so downloading likely triggers the sale to be complete, with payment to the seller. It could be similar for free games.
