The amount of money i invest into my homelab is oddly proportional to the amount of money i have after not purchasing 17 different subscriptions for bloated catalogs of doodoo.

My end user experience is incredible and i was willing to pay for it.

Seriously, my home lab is paying for itself after shutting off various streaming services.

And I believe the time is ripe for Hollywood to fuck off

Time for another writers or actors strike

Or the writers could jist fuck off given the terrible writing we've been seeing out of Hollywood lately.

I dont know how hollywood work but i somehow doubt that writers as the last word on how the final product turn out and not to say that there is no shitty writers because a lot of them exist that for sure

Hollywood can fuck off with the garbage they keep producing.

I wonder if this age of consolidated net access if Google, Facebook,Twitter will be for or against this.

They’re not publishers so this only adds costs to them.

They will oppose it just enough to skirt responsibility by offloading enforcement to an unaccountable automated system.

They've gotten away with Sesta / fosta with flying colors, so why not, people are more complacent than ever now. If I were their lawyer I'd tell them to strike now with this too and mention something about thinking about the children for extra street cred. Since I'm not their lawyer though, I'll tell them to suck my ass.
