Ok now go look at what the donors are saying.

Mamdani has the majority opinion, that Israel has a right to exist as a state with equal rights. Zionists have a hard time accepting that as an answer but it’s a morally unobjectionable one.

They’re not mad because they lost money, they’re terrified because Mamdani is a socialist.

Not in the article, but it’s not really a secret

Bill Ackman (billionare democratic donor) has offered essentially unlimited funding for anyone to run against him as a write in candidate

It’s indicative of a deep, irreversible rift in the party. Either democrats adapt or they split in half.

Either they listen to their voters and become a ‘new’ democratic party, or they’ll continue bleeding numbers and die. Either way, it’s still the beginning of the end.

They are going to gamble that they can stay the same because people are/will be so mad about… well everything.

They will 100% try to do this, but they’ll end up losing and then blame the voters they’re maligning. Mamdani is a case-in-point difference between status quo candidate turnouts and progressive candidate turnout. The 7% delta over Cuomo is the 7% they’ll lose if they try it again.

Fun fact - uneven eye dilation can sometimes be a symptom of stroke or aneurysm

If Cuomo runs independent, the democratic party loses any hope of keeping their progressive base and it might actually split entirely.

After bullying their base for the last 10 years to get in line behind their shit moderate candidates, if they were to suddenly decide that primaries don’t mean anything then they’d never be able to convince progressives to vote against their interests again.

Cuomo is backed by the democratic establishment and the DNC’s donor class. It doesnt matter if he’s independent, he’s the establishment pick and would be running with their funding.

“Vote blue no matter who”

Mamdani wins historic primary victory

“…shit”

Not that I’m aware of, no

Would have been expedient doing that back in February when polls were showing him at 1% and nobody knew who he was

Say whatever you want about him, that man has the best comedic timing

Whoever drew this went to great lengths to keep Israel on the map

Once you’ve finished this project, you’re only a hop and skip away from this 3D printed Machining Mill. He uses the 3d printed pieces as a mold for reinforced concrete, so that it’s heavy enough to resist the vibrations so that you can mill solid metal stock.

The single most impressive 3D printed DIY tool i’ve ever seen.

Here maybe this will help:

“Israel has a right to defend itself”

talking about how Israel-born Israelis [native palestinians] ‘belonging’ in the countries of their European ancestors [pan-arabic neighbors]

You forgot this part -

Iran has a right to defend itself

That comment was tongue-in-cheek.

rendered stateless and subject to brutal persecution

Well if they were subject to a differen’t ethnonationalist state who had a monopoly on the use of force against them, that would be really bad.

Thankfully, that has never happened before.

Just want to repeat the comment you hid there in case it’s relevant to the point being made.

They can also remain in Palestine and live alongside native Palestinians or return to their home countries under the right of return.

The point is that ethnic jews would no longer have the exclusive right of self-determination in Palestine.

You are presenting a lot of great hypotheticals and I’ll be happy to stop using Plex if and when they stop being hypotheticals.

it’s not hypothetical, Plex has already been banning users for various reasons, all of which stem from them having access to data about your account, connected users, and server data.

Especially because we’ve moved from “oh, maybe get your family to not use Google to log in” to “actually, get them to move to F-droid or install from source and do so under proper DNS filtering to stop telemetry gathering”.

• someone suggested they didn’t trust google SSO
• you said ‘why does that matter, they don’t collect much info from it’
• I pointed out that it’s still a big deal because of the potential abuses it enables
• you said ‘why should you care, they’ll know you use it from downloading the client app’
• I pointed out that there are ways to use it without them necessarily knowing, and…
• anyway the real risk is associating your identity with a specific host server, not that you have plex on your phone or tv

You’re the only one making this complicated bud.

Oh, and while I get that you get a kick of repeating what your understanding of US law is at me, over here backing up to additional media is explicitly supported by the right to private copy. As is, implicitly breaking DRM.

I was simply telling you that the US has a similar carve out for breaking DRM, but that it didn’t include the use case you are describing. Just giving you a heads-up that it’s a common misconception here, and it could be misunderstood wherever you are too. Chill out. BUT, even if it IS legal where you are, Plex is bound to US law and can and will ban you for breaking it.

Not that it matters because nobody is enforcing these at individuals for private use anyway

Except Plex is enforcing it because it is excplicitly against their terms of service, and have already done so.

but don’t act like anything else is insanity. It’s kind of obnoxious.

I’m not saying it’s insanity you dipshit, i’m saying there are good and valid reasons to avoid a cloud-hosted service not within your control. You’re free to disagree but fuck off with this incredulousness
