it’s totalitarianism vs freedom to have intelligent discourse

bigotry isn’t “intelligent discourse”, and calling out bigots for their bigotry isn’t “totalitarianism."

A Siberian Gulag will do that

Is there really a difference between those two things?

A British MP, you say… oooo

You can just set your phone to wipe after X wrong attempts and do that, ending the issue.

Or how about, “quotes Hitler”?

You know Plex is trying to become a streaming platform, right?

no they’re not. they’ve had streaming options for many years. you can also just turn it off. it’s very easy.

also… so what? they offer some streaming content alongside their media managements capabilities. people just like you have been crying foul over that for a solid decade, claiming that Something Bad™ would happen. Guess what? It hasn’t.

From someone who’s spent around 20 years with xbmc/Kodi. Even better, it’s free.

they’re free because they’re far inferior. they lack many features Plex has which my users and I use constantly. Same with Jellyfin… none of the alternatives can do all of what Plex does. not to mention that I strongly dislike the interfaces of the alternatives. they’re, at best, undercooked, unrefined. If they work for you, fine, but they don’t work for me.

Finally, Plex is also free. There is a premium tier that’s paid which includes a few premium features, but, as a Kodi/Emby user, it’s nothing you haven’t already been living without. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

18 years with Plex, and I have zero regrets. I always knew this age of streaming would sour sooner or later. I’ll admit, the good times lasted longer than I expected.

Original article from Fox News, of course.

But invoking the spectre of “Sharia law” is just as vague as referring to “US law”.

right, because Sharia Law and US Law are exactly the same thing…

at least it would be a cool story ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

you can almost certainly just rent them for a short time.

it’s 2023, and… yeah… this story sounds like bad sci-fi, so it’s probably true. I’d read he article, but I’m afraid I’d see the word “unobtainum” and throw my phone across the room.

does the Lebanese government think seeing all that pink (omg, so much pink in that movie) is going to make people gay? lmao

really, though, that movie was so pink, it cured my heartburn

pff, of course they are
