And still people do it, they even give their own devices to kids with CC info pre-filled and no safeties on purchases.

Imagine how bad it is when the next fake ad game gets Timmy to subscribe to a $99/day gem pack…

I’m not entirely optimistic about this ruling, but we’ll see.

Apple had no reason NOT to give refunds and then use their weight to claw it back from the app developer.

But what happens when not-too-legit apps use non-AppStore external sites to unlock features in an app?

In a perfect world it’s cheap and easy and reliable.

But it can also be a scammy shop that lures you into expensive subscriptions with no easy way to cancel them (eg. gym membership) and what happens when Little Timmy spends $9000 for Nlartbux in a mobile game’s external store?

Could go either way 🤷🏻‍♂️

Every store does this. Even Holy Valve

Lego Harry Potter

For fucks sake it was obtuse. I had to use a walkthrough to figure out what to do next multiple times just in the first episode

GTA Online still brings a BILLION dollars every year.

The next GTA can’t be anything except 100% perfection and Rockstar isn’t in a hurry

I’ve been running Jellyfin just for the metadata on the same library as Plex.

If Plex goes full evil at some point, I can just shut it down and switch to Jellyfin.

But for the time being the UX on Plex is so much better I can’t be arsed to switch. Especially since I got my Lifetime Pass like a decade ago for 79€ or something. I’ve got more than my moneys worth for it.

You do know what caused the Hetzner thing?

People were literally farming Plex in there. They bought a 2-4TB server in the auction and installed Plex and a content farm setup to feed it fresh content.

Then they sold access to the server until it was at capacity. GOTO 10

At one point Hetzner went “fuck this” and just banned Plex altogether. We can’t have nice things because some people are dipshits professionally.

This.

I just set up Plex for my mom on her bargain bin cheapo android TV. It had the plex app right there and it’ll play without transcoding.

Can’t do that with Jellyfin.

NixOS doesn’t have a curve, it’s a fucking wall 😆

What will you use then? Safari? (It’s a good choice btw)

Is Ford a part of the police state because they sell cars to them?

I like it, it’s just extra stuff and nothing essential.

It’d suck a lot more if they gated necessary features behind a paywall

My switch to Unraid is feeling better every day 😀

Russia is full of cool architecture and art.

But fuck the current (last 25 years) regime with a rusty crowbar. I’m not stepping a single foot in there.

China is predictable.

US used to be, but now it seems they can be taken over by the whims of a single deranged man

Do AI generated accounts get the same rules?

How about bot accounts?
