What kind of moron uses a paid service in 2025?

If it's paid, you do not own it.

If it’s paid, you do not own it.

Did you meant to say "free" here? Because that makes no fucking sense.

Nope. You're just brainwashed by capitalism.

You pay, that shit's proprietary, you didnt make it, you can't see the insides. Why would any self respecting sociopath give you something without including a backdoor, data logging/tracking, and a string to pull it back?

You steal something, or download more anonymously, it isn't immediately connected to you, it may not have the backdoors activated, and you probably cut that string when you acquired it. You might even have to fuck around in the guts and modify shit so it can't be remotely bricked tracked etc.

Applies to housing too. The state wants me out, I'm out. Can happen for a lot of reasons, and no amount of obedience keeps you 100% safe. In a squat, ive already defended myself, proven their power, at least what they're willing to exercise, cannot dislodge me. The place is truly mine.

You buy from the company store, you don't own shit.

I never thought of it that way but you are 100% right. The "market" they love so much IS the company store!

Thank you for broadening my horizons.

Alright buddy, make sure to keep on that tinfoil hat.

Boot lickers like you make every sadvance of oppression at least very funny. I wonder how youll rationalize the next thing taken from you.

With happiness and glee they will follow to their deaths.

The only thing taken for me was the time and braincells from having to read your mental diarrhea.

Plex's remote play works for me when I'm away from home - which is on starlink. Jellyfish does not, because starlink uses cgnat. 🤷

You mean like the one that Plex provides with Plex pass?
I haven't been able to find a free proxy provider that is ok with streaming video. Closest I've found is CloudFlare, and video streaming isn't permitted on their free tier.
Plex pass is a lot cheaper for me than paying for CloudFlare's non-free tiers, especially since I got myself a lifetime pass 3 years ago.
