I don't disagree, but this video is absolutely worth the watch. I've read a fair bit on X history but there's a lot in here I didn't know specifics of or didn't know about at all.

Those instances defederated from lemmy.comfysnug.space. @neo@lemmy.comfysnug.space contacted them and a few others about refederating a few months ago; I don't know the current status.
Relevant threads:
Kernel-level anti-cheat drivers for games, mainly.
I now finally know why Rocket League updates more often for me (1-2GB of updates) than my friend on Windows.
So you ditched and unethical mega corp that runs ads for a wanna be unethical mega corp that also mines your data and you’re happy about it? Oh boy the illusion.
What data mining is Canonical doing, exactly?
I don't really have a least favorite distribution. I mean, I guess between Fedora, Ubuntu, Debian, Mint, openSUSE, Manjaro, and Gentoo, the least appealing choices to me are Manjaro and Gentoo. Manjaro is just Arch but worse, because the packages are old and likely to cause incompatibilities with AUR packages that need really up-to-date system packages, and I...don't trust the maintainers to have configured everything better than I could have myself. Just based on history.
Debian has ancient packages. That's the only reason. I'd just end up using Flatpak packages or compiling from source.
Any other distribution I could use, including Gentoo, but Arch is the sweet spot for me.
That would be the logical conclusion, but I believe Debian uses the old version for years after it's unsupported and might backport security fixes depending on how severe they are. Either way, I personally wouldn't trust Debian or Ubuntu to properly fix security issues with a program (or in this case, programming language) that they do not actively develop or maintain themselves.
It's good to see you guys on Lemmy :)
I tested it a bit a few days ago, but I'll see if I can give it a more rigorous go today. The ones I've found Mojeek to be weak in are bug strings that programs I'm working with spit out. Although I think I've had more luck in the past few months.
I'm from an instance that does not federate with lemmy.world or sh.itjust.works, so users from those instances won't see this post. If you think this news is worth sharing and you're from an instance that federates with lemmy.world, please consider sharing it on !linux_gaming@lemmy.world
It's the fault of copyright. Restricting what shows you can stream to your users instead of, for example, being required to pay a royalty, inevitably leads to this situation. Netflix being the sole company allowed to stream every show and film would result in a monopoly that would be bad for everyone as they progressively sought to increase profits year over year. One company having all that power would not be a good thing for anyone, including content holders.
The solution is simple: every streaming service should be allowed to stream every show/film in every country. Then, piracy can only compete on price. That requires significant copyright reform, however, and is very unlikely to happen.
