The only people who need to know who the originating sources are are the wholesalers, and I'm pretty sure at that level they have a good sense of who is originating or not. Or maybe they also don't care as long as it works and the price is right.

At the individual level, you have to assume that your provider is not the originating source - that's just how it works. Discovering whether or not you are using a reseller or a wholesaler though? It should be fairly easy to tell from the services and support they offer.

Yeah sure like blacklist instead of exclusion list. I get it. Really I do. I feel like saying you're progressive instantly means you aren't - so I still won't say it.

They/them is a way to refer to anyone without making ANY assumptions about gender - because it's entirely unnecessary to do so. I don't see how calling someone who identifies as female 'they' has any affect on someone who is transgendered or specifically prefers they/them identifiers. It sounds like the intent there is that they/them is exclusive for transgender...which as of this time I can't agree with.

If it's done intentionally to disparage trans allies then sure - that makes good sense - but this clearly wasn't done in bad faith.

It's a chain of providers.

Generally speaking, you have your wholesaler who sells to individuals or to other iptv resellers (eg. bulk discount of monthly subs).

A wholesaler will generally pay monthly to other source stream providers from a variety of sources to create a full catalogue of channels to provide to individuals and resellers. The wholesaler usually does the EPG management also - basically sources EPG from a variety of data sources.

So UK channels might come from one source, Canadian channels from other, some channels are on this cable provider, others on another - could be different sources. These sources are people who buy cable/satelite set top boxes and subscriptions to then stream them to the wholesalers.

A source might sell to 100+ wholesalers, and then those wholesalers will have 1000+ of subscribers each.

Generally, don't subscribe with a re-seller...it's your best chance that you'll have to find a new subscription. You'll get the best support at wholesale and they hang around longer, although being bigger makes them targets for raids or even to close up shop and take all future subscription money.

This is so dumb you should defed with Blahaj in principle. I don't even use this instance but it's kinda pathetic that you guys have to deal with this.

Apparently defending oneself from attacks in a discussion is "aggression". No consequences for the others in that thread I assume.

It's also completely insane that the use of "they" to refer to anyone would be soft transphobia. That's one of the main purposes of that word - especially on the internet. Some languages don't even have he/she it's literally just THEY in their language e.g Tagalog has 'sila' for singular 'they' and 'sha' for plural they. There is no he/him/her/she in that language.

Lol the entire enterprise crew needs some deep therapy after all the traumatic shit they deal with on the daily. The most unrealistic part of that show was how none of them became became grizzled after 10 years of life altering experiences and losses though they often showed others who did. I want to assume they had access to more than troi and just didn't show it because an entire crew probably couldn't be supported by one therapist similarly to how whichever physical health doctor on board had lots of help and even other doctors.

As if Disney rule34 wasn't around in 1999. We just didn't call it rule34 back then.

DLSS3 IS famegen

DLSS 2 is still used in dlss3 games

The 2/3 nomenclature is a misnomer tbh it's more like an extension of DLSS 2.
