Add it to the pile

Even with the arrs, jellyfin, et al, it's still not a turn-key solution.

Not quite, all I wanted to express is that spending the time, you can get an experience close to the commercial offerings. And I guess with docker based setups it's rather easy. Never used it though.

Personally I've never been a fan of piracy streaming sites, they always seemed so sketchy.

I'm assuming its API was originally very friendly and unintrusive

Which would make sense - stuff like this automates content creation on your platform, which justifies pricing for advertisement (its main income). Basically bots but not really because they're initiated by a human action.

It's also that they basically raised a generation of users who never had to pirate. Truth is 20 years ago there was literally no alternative to pirating. So you either figured it out or you'd have to drive to the store.

Nowadays, most consumers have gotten complacent, which is understandable given how good the legal alternatives were at one point.

However, while the initial steps might be a bit more difficult nowadays (I strongly advise against torrenting without a paid VPN), getting to a convenient setup is much easier nowadays. The *arrs, jellyfin, Kodi, docker, Android devices connected to a big screen etc. enable anyone willing to spend the time to create a setup that can rival commercial offerings.

Just to emphasize, I don't condone piracy here, but the direction the industry is going is unsurprisingly off-putting.

  1. Don't torrent without a paid VPN
  2. Done

I can't tell if this is actual advice or irony

Yeah. It's super tacky and cliché. But there are other vehicles I find super ugly that some people love.

In my humble opinion, it's not even a truck, much less so a pickup truck, but I'm not the most knowledge person wrt manufacturing on the planet, so not sure my opinion counts.

I think it's a pretentious and overpriced car that is inferior to other solutions in every aspect. It's plagued by technical flaws and I find it ugly.

Though I can see that some people like the design. Still wouldn't but it because of the issue at that price even if I liked it

For anyone wondering, this is something Elmo himself said in an interview.

That is, after learning that all his great ideas for Tesla production were not that great after all. But somehow, him not listening to experts and then falling flat for the reasons stated by the experts made him more knowledgeable than them. Also because he obviously spends more time with the issue than people who have this as their job and don't shitpost on some lame site 10 hours a day.

Meanwhile, there are about 2 million Arab citizens (mostly Muslim) of Israel who are entitled to equal rights, including government subsidized Churches and Mosques.

Plus Arabic being an official language, same status as Hebrew.

People calling it an ethnostate have never been there or arguing in bad faith. It's obvious.

Not that any of this has to do with the current atrocities in any way. But some people can't help themselves but to paint the country in a bad way. Which is kind of some because that's super easy right now. Guess some people just want to go the extra mile.

Most of these people take/haven taken part in the IDF

Most likely? I mean Israel has a draft for women and men with the only exception being Orthodox Jews - which, ironically, might be the ones most in favor of the current government. How does that make their point irrelevant?

have been actively participating in Apartheid.

Dude, that word has a different meaning from what you're implying. Call the atrocities in Gaza a genocide, that's fair. But it's not apartheid and neither is Israel an apartheid state, nor an ethnostate. Source: been to Israel, talked to people, there are no Jewish / non-Jewish toilets or fountains or anything, non-Jewish stores next to Jewish ones etc.

The rest of your blathering is just generalization. The same applied to people living in Gaza would make a lot of unjust actions look much better - after all, most of the people in Gaza have kidnapped and slaughtered civilians, no? Yeah, probably not.
