Fair, although AFAIK we’d also need native hls support (outside safari) since it’s quite commonly used as well. Although, that info might be outdated

Most sites use some custom js-based players instead of the native video tag anyways, so I don’t exactly think it’s an issue.

It’s sometimes useful for messengers, tho. I mean, many of those are electron apps anyway, and those that are not are unlikely to have a sandbox as good as what browsers have.

Although, I agree: my default action for notifications is always reject, and then I can manually approve what I think I need.

A small addition to already mentioned stuff. There are multiple ways to deliver the notifications without google services. 1st and older one is by simply letting the app hang in the background indefinitely and ping the necessary servers from time to time, that one almost always works, since app developers can’t really rely on gapps being installed; 2nd is UnifiedPush (that’s already mentioned sunup [mozilla], but also ntfy [ntfy], nextpush [nextcloud], gCompat-UP [google firebase], NoProvider2Push [fully local]). AFAIK, it works similarly to the way gapps send notifications and uses less battery, but not all apps support it, so you may need to search for forks. For example, the official and, iirc, Foss telegram clients don’t, but mercury, nagram{,x} and momo do.

Not the brightest of those, imo: a while back they’ve opted their users in “discover together”, which is basically sharing your watch history with your plex friends. That went over as well as you’d expect: https://www.404media.co/plex-users-fear-discover-together-week-in-review-feature-will-leak-porn-habits-to-their-friends-and-family/

Is it just me, or it kinda sounds like they don’t want to prococess a complaint? A warning not to do that again would be enough, IMO, given it seems like there are no rules prohibiting this.

Yeah, right. Because those contracts are set in stone, and our corporate overlords won’t ever take away the advertised ability to download books you’ve paid for, not to mention those very contracts being written in human-readable format and not lawyer speak. \s

Agreed to disagree then. IMO, if a company thinks it’s OK to throw me over the dick hiding behind being afraid of shadows, deny me access to legally obtained content on my devices, walk back on previous deals, and so on, then I have no problem with getting unrestricted access to stuff they decided I don’t technically own. Fuck the fucker, simple as that.

Baseless (and also wrong) assumption that piracy is responsible for by any means significant monetary losses aside, there are other reasons for bypassing that DRM bullshit. Like, off the top of my head:

• archiving – when you don’t have a local copy of a piece of content, it can be changed or deleted at any time;
• ability to access stuff on a wider range of devices – I want to be able watch my favorite coomtent creator in full resolution on my phone that has only L3 and quite outdated version of widevine without installing proprietary crapp, so what;
• bypassing bullshit restrictions – not sure if onlyfans in particular does that, but we have Netflix, for example, that would tell you to fuck off when you’re not watching from home be it VPN or an actually different location when traveling.
