  • This is what the people who forgot about Donald Trump say. Trump’s presidency was far more rewarding for Israel than either Russia or North Korea; arguably, even more rewarding than the US. This conflict wouldn’t have existed without Trump’s aid in the first place. If you think Biden or Harris are friends with Netanyahu, you are sorely mistaken.

    I’m voting for the person I trust to make a half a promising decision for calmness in the Middle East rather than the one who’s guaranteed to gladly trade the lives of Palestinians and Americans in exchange for authoritarianism. And if the person I choose to vote for (wins and) doesn’t live up to my expectations, if this person does not aid in Middle East tensions, I’ll still sleep well at night knowing how much more traumatic it would have been with the alternative.

    I give a shit about this world. I will not be part of the downfall of democracy and the promise of more lives lost and freedoms around this world revoked for the sake of someone’s ego and business dealings. I will not throw out my vote.

    I’m voting for Harris because I support a free Palestine. Because under Trump, Palestine is guaranteed to disappear.

    Interesting question. You can filter by decade and genre and album critic rating but not by popularity of a song. However, if just go to an artist page, it will show you the top / most popular songs by that artist. So, it would seem the data (however accurate) exists somewhere. You could add a Track Rating filter which is something you would have to manually add for each song. That would add the work of having to go into each artist and rank their top songs - dumb.

    I’m seeing an option under Settings > Agents > Albums > Last.FM that says “Download popular track information”. Not sure what that does.

    I would post this over on the plex.tv forum and see if the devs can give you feedback or put it on their request channel. https://forums.plex.tv/c/general-discussions/plex-features/

    I’ve done something similar to what you’re doing but I’ve invested countless hours doing it. I’ve used Spotify to start and to refresh my memory about what was popular. I then used SongShift to export that playlist to a CSV that I could work from on my desktop. Once I have a few songs in the playlist, I’ll use Plexmp’s “Related” option to review other songs that might be relevant. Lots of work but it’s a 12 hour playlist that doesn’t quit.

    Similarly, I’ve posted on the forum about how crappy the playlist intelligence is. I did not get a satisfying response https://forums.plex.tv/t/why-doesn-t-stations-guest-dj-ever-make-sense-and-is-there-anything-i-can-do-to-make-it-better/849228


  • Not sure why you think this.

    You just reiterated what I said.

    If you were to rip a Bluray to your computer, you’re legally not permitted to watch that movie if you’re no longer in possession of the disc.

    =

    You can legally rip a Bluray for backup purposes. If you sell or give away the Bluray, you have to delete the backed up copy.

    Technically, if the FBI were to ask you to prove ownership of a digital copy and you had lost the disc, it would be illegal to retain that digital copy.

    Bypassing DRM is illegal because the DMCA explicitly prohibits the circumvention…

    Yes. The Digital Millennium Copyright Act is a law that covers copyright protections.


  • Everyone should generally assume that unless you have something tangibly in your hand, you either do not own it or you may very easily and/or suddenly lose access to it. You could test this by trying to access the content without having to sign in to something.

    All these streaming and subscription services should be considered ease of access conveniences. In other industries, you pay a premium for something to be prepared for you to consume. In the subscription industry, you’re paying less because you’re not paying for the content but for a license to temporarily consume the content (and probably because your info is being sold to advertisers).

    Fun Fact: If you were to rip a Bluray to your computer, you’re legally not permitted to watch that movie if you’re no longer in possession of the disc. This is because you’re not purchasing the content of the disc but the license to view the content. Decrypting DRM is illegal not based on whether you own the content but because the DRM encryption itself is separately copyright protected.
