I'm surprised it's not a negative number.

I despise the fact that we keep having to review the settings for new shit that needs to be turned off.

When I was on vacation in Central America, I saw how popular these things were, and knew they'd never received an update from the day they were made... It was only a matter of time.

Heh. My TV has never been online, not even once. I'd rather suffer the occasional firmware bug than have it act as a sensor.

Never heard of it. Back to TPB.

Upvoting for Streisand Effect. ;)

Yup, since a specific subscription I already pay for started inserting ads randomly into their programs, I've added a second 16TB seedbox to my house. Now if I hear that someone at home is interested in a particular series, or that an old program has been added to the service that someone wants to watch, I just queue it up for download and watch it on the TV using the VLC app.

In other news, Piracy is still free.

Yeah, I can read this both ways, but I'll assume that since he's a CEO, it's the way that makes him sound like a flaming dickhole.

Man, the total and complete lack of self awareness... It would be hilarious if it wasn't tragic...

The document thief himself bitching about stolen documents getting leaked... Damn, you can't dream this shit up on shrooms.

This meshes with the news that Boeing is run by accountants, not engineers, like it used to be.

Uh, between SolarWinds and XZ and the supply chain attacks being conducted by the NSA that were revealed by Snowden... They already know.

The whole point to Endpoint Protection is to quickly and easily send updates to block currently exploited vulnerabilities to the systems most likely to be affected. Adding a delay for in-house QA testing (and the associated costs) doesn't make any sense.

Uh... So who is paying for that right now?

I always heard this joke as "If you hold a stoat up to your ear, you can hear the sound of your own voice, screaming."

Uh, one side is unrelenting about suppressing everyone else's rights, and has demonstrated that they're willing to take control by force and violence if they don't get 'their ideals'. If you're on that side, you're an asshole, and being 'painted' as an asshole is the least that you deserve.

Please stop for a moment, step outside your yourself, and ask... "Am I the baddie?"

Reeks of desperation to bring back the porn after how literally every other mainstream platform has walked away from it.

I’m going to concede defeat here because obviously I’m not doing a good enough job in explaining my position.

It's because your position is indefensible given recent history and the trajectory of the political landscape.

"We have no intention of invading Ukraine."

To add to this, self-hosting is also best when you minimize everything - limited service, with limited functionality, on dedicated hardware that doesn't share access to your internal network or storage. Folks who use point-and-click apps to install a half dozen unauthenticated docker containers, all open to the internet, running on the same PC they store the only copy of their family photos and music/movie collection on... make me crazy.
