    1. They have this issue.
    2. They comply with the law.
    3. Time goes on.
    4. They have this issue.
    5. They comply with the law.

    What exactly are you confused about? The definition of continually? To be complaint with CSAM laws you have to actually make changes to your platform to ensure the same situation doesn't happen again. Catbox doesn't do that. They will eventually be prosecuted.

    And my impression is Patreon said such handling was sufficient in 2021.

    And it was. Because when pressed to make changes to ensure that it was more difficult to share CSAM, they refused. They were shutdown and then finally made the changes allowing them to operate again. In the same way that Catbox isn't doing anything to actually stop CSAM from being shared on their platform. Compliance with the law after you're caught with this type of content isn't enough. They will eventually all be arrested for "facilitating" CSAM just like any of those dark web forums are.

  • This is not only incorrect (this particular law doesn't apply here), but I can easily prove it beyond any shadow of a doubt.

    Backpage was shutdown despite their willingness to comply with the law because they were found to "facilitate" CSAM. Omegle was also temporarily shutdown for the same reasons. There have also been quite literally dozens of prosecutions of website admins on the dark web for offering a platform for CSAM despite them arguing in court that they had no control over what their users uploaded and quickly moderated the content when discovered. In the end none of it matters--as a provider of a service you are required to make it difficult to share CSAM, not just comply with the law when someone catches you with your pants down.

    It bedevils me that people are so laissez-faire about literal fucking CP--AI generated or not.

    And in spite of literally all of that, none of this has anything to do with US law. It's Patron policy. They don't want to service someone who constantly has issues with CSAM, and they have every right not to offer their services to catbox.

  • Ultimately, yes, I think they are.

    There's no opinion to be had. You are absolutely morally and legally responsible for what your users upload. Period.

  • Seems like you're completely missing my point. I'm not implying that catbox doesn't remove this content, or cooperate with authorities. I'm saying that Patreon chooses to not offer their services to projects which continually have this issue in the first place...

  • The photos perfectly elaborate, though... They didn't really get screwed, someone uploaded "animated child sexual abuse photos." Which is not only illegal but against the TOS of Patreon. From the photos shared it looks like this isn't the first time it's happened, either, and Patreon clearly doesn't want anything to do with it--which frankly is their right.

    Not really sure how this equates to them "being screwed." They're responsible for what people upload to their service (they clearly understand that) which is why public uploads like this without restriction aren't a great idea.

  • Also you can literally opt out of the data sharing

    For now. It's always for now. You used to be able to opt out of Google data sharing too. And Reddit's. And Microsoft's. And Apple's. And your Credit Cards... The list goes on and on and on and on and on.

    Soon as a large company realizes that they can vertically increase revenue by selling your data it ceases being an option. A realization that Plex will very soon learn because they've begun to sell data "optionally" for now. Then by next year, or maybe even the year after that it'll no longer be optional.

    It always goes this way. Always. I can't even think of a single antithetical example.

  • That doesn't many any sense, because I just specifically told you that it doesn't matter to anyone but you whether or not you use Jellyfin... If it mattered to me, then yeah, sure. I'd be a zealot. But I don't give a shit what you personally use.

    Also, pointing out the fact that Jellyfin is pretty indisputably better for people in this specific space isn't zealotry. It's just good common sense.

  • Mmmmm gross.

    I'll leave you with this, though. Shit like this is all goalposts. For now it's just "their" content and not yours. But in 12 months it's gonna be all content. And what excuse will you make for them, then?

  • Not sure if you understand this or not, but you using, or not using jellyfin doesn't affect anyone but you. 🤷‍♂️

    If you don't wanna use it, then don't use it. You're still wrong, but that's up to you lil buddy.

  • And that makes a difference to you?

  • Seeing the replies in this thread it kinda makes me wonder what Plex actually has to do for these zealots to quit using their platform.

    Like do they literally have to steal naked pictures of you and pass them around the office? Like wtf.

  • Chromecast. Regular is cheap, and grab the 4K one if you wanna stream higher quality movies. Cost you less than $100.

  • DS223 is a fine little machine. Nothing exceptional, but not bad by any means.

  • That sucks, I immediately wanted it. :(

  • WHAT

    Jump
  • Still using spaceship. lmao.

  • To the surprise of absolutely no one. Tends to happen when you cultivate one of the most tixic online spaces on the net. I've never asked a question on SO, but just the verbiage used to accost people just trying to learn is just insane. Mods don't really care about post content as long as its not perceived as "hostile," so you can be generally as passive aggressive and shitty as you want. It's just...weird.

    You can find especially viperis content when you find a question which has been answered, but someone is just like "Well, this isn't the way that I do it!" etc, and then go on a tirade about how the question was asked poorly and the answer doesn't completely answer the question.

    Shit is just wild.

  • lmao this is exactly what I've been lookin for... Thanks! I just knew if I was a lazy fuck and sat on my hands someone would do the work for me eventually!

  • That’s a huge wall of text to still entirely miss the point.

    So then it makes sense that you didn't read it where I very specifically and intentionally touch the subjects you speak about.

    If you're not going to read what people reply, then don't even bother throwing your opinion around. Just makes you look like an idiot tbh.

  • Obviously, they monetize Codeberg because they’re providing a service. That monetization feeds Forgejo development. They could also sell official support for people hosting their own instances of Forgejo. This is a very common thing that open source companies do…

    This is literally what I said in my original post. Free products must monetize, as they get larger they have to continue to monetize more and more because development and infrastructure costs continue to climb...and you budged in as if this somehow doesn't apply to Forgejo and then literally listed examples of why it does. I mean, Jesus my guy.

    You are claiming Forgejo will do this.

    I'm claiming that it is a virtual certainty of the age of technology that we live in that popular free products (like Github) eventually balloon into sizes which are unmanageable while maintaining a completely free model (especially without restriction), which then proceed to get even more popular at which time they have to find new revenue streams or die.

    It's what's happened with Microsoft, Apple, Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime, Amazon Prime Video, Discord, Reddit, Emby, MongoDB, just about any CMS CRM or forum software, and is currently happening to Plex, I mean the list is quite literally endless. You could list any large software company that provides a free or mostly free product and you'll find a commercial product that they use to fund future development because their products become so popular and so difficult/costly to maintain they were forced into a monetization model to continue development.

    Why you think Forgejo is the only exception to this natural evolution is beyond my understanding.

    I'm fully aware of the difference between Codeberg and Forgejo. And Forgejo is a product and its exceptionally costly to build and maintain. Costs which will continue to rise as it has to change over time to suit more and more user needs. People seem to heavily imply that free products cost nothing to build, which is just insane.

    I've been a FOSS developer for 25 years and a tech PM for almost 20. I speak with a little bit of authority here because it's my literal wheelhouse.
