funny that i’ve got a degoogled shield running the apk locally without any issue but go off please about how im the asshat while you just keep making up shit to trash a product you don’t use or know about.
You think I'm making up the trackers? I've verified this using 3 different tools.
De-googled =/= does not have any Google Play Services. Apparently you've still got some remnants leftover. I prefer never having it installed to begin with.
I used the service before, I don't anymore. I've not made anything up, I was mistaken about something, then as soon as you brought up the ability to restore the purchase I went and checked - only to find bigger issues (trackers and an inability to sign in).
I've engaged in good faith. You've done nothing but act like an asshat, from the moment you jumped into this thread.
I thought you were done engaging, how have I been an ass? I’ve merely corrected the bullshit you keep making up based on an arbitrary hatred of a media player lol.
I can assure you my shield is not phoning home to any google services. It barely accesses anything on the web, and has a very small whitelist of accessible domains. But whatever man, I thought you were done with this conversation. I’m sure there’s another new thread you can spread fearmongering crap about Plex in.
Still no comment about the trackers, I see.
You didn't provide a correction until your 6th comment. You said a lot of bullshit before then. I made one mistake, after initially focusing on the merits of open source communities vs closed source businesses.
I haven't spread fear, I made a mistake, which I've owned up to. 4 times now. Yet, you continue to be an asshat, with each and every comment. At this point I'm just curious to see how long you keep that up.
What do you want me to say about trackers? What the hell?
This discussion has been about whether or not Plex requires an internet connection and/or google sign in to work. It doesn’t, and that’s obvious now.
I guess you’re butthurt and bored so you gotta keep talking about other shit? I don’t give a fuck about trackers because I run Plex locally and walled off from 99%+ of the internet. It doesn’t affect me. Seems like it really affects you for some reason though.
Other people can do whatever the fuck they want, chief. If they want to expose themselves to tracking online either by choice or by ignorance, that’s their perogative.
You’re welcome to keep trying to start an argument but the clear reality is that you got proven wrong about google and then again about “deprecated” apps and now you’re feisty and looking to prove you’re not a tiny-dick manbaby by bringing up irrelevant points to get some kinda of “gotcha” sucker punch in before you finally stop engaging like you said you were doing 3 replies ago.
Good luck with whatever it is you’re looking for.
Before you jumped into this conversation, it was about Plex vs Jellyfin, about open source vs closed source, and about what it takes to get open source up to the same level.
You proved me wrong about one small point. It took you 6 comments to actually deliver that. I straight away verified that, owned up, and reframed my argument in line with the facts.
I understand it might be hard to keep track, you spew a lot of bullshit. I guess that's why you and your various alts have been banned all across the major lemmy instances. Lol, it's pretty funny that it seems like even hexbear were justified in banning you.
I see you’ve resorted to straight up insults and making up things to attack my character. Sorry the truth hurt your ego kiddo.
Lmfao me calling out your bad behaviour is not an insult, nor is it in any way bad behaviour itself. Calling out bad behaviour is not an excuse for you to turn around and cry that you're a victim.
You have behaved like an asshat for however many and every single comment you've delivered to me.
I'm not hurt, I'm entertained.
You’re resorting to ad-hominem attacks because you’ve run out of material to lie about lol
I’m sorry that you think calling out your lies is being an asshat 👌
What did I lie about? I honestly held a misconception, and when you eventually got around to correcting that, I immediately owned up.
I didn't resort to ad hominem, as much as you would like to use that buzzword to try and claw back a position when you've already lost the argument. I just got fed up with your incessant bad behaviour and had little choice but to call it out.
Apparently you're not only an asshat, you're also a sore loser. Not that this was ever about winning or losing for me, I just wanted to discuss the merits of ideas, but you apparently came here to shit all over other people. You should go hang out with seagulls, maybe they'll teach you better aim - they're certainly more respecatble than you.
What’s it like to be so full of yourself you need to be told the same thing 8 times before you hear it lol
I’m amazed you’re ever willing to admit you learned anything. You certainly haven’t learned shit from this conversation, based on your recent comments in other threads.
You don’t get to call things “misconceptions” when you run around yelling them at other people as if they’re the truth. That’s what normal people call a “bald-faced lie.” Especially if you reached your conclusion with zero research or critical thinking.
You said a lot of shit, then in your 6th comment you finally explained that the feature was hidden away and can be restored. Then, I downloaded the app, found other issues that prevented me from verifying directly, but also found a support thread or something that explained how to restore it. I then reported back and admitted my mistake.
You said a lot of shit and threw a lot of insults before you eventually said something worthwhile. So I got something out of this, even if you have been and are a complete and total asshat. I'm better for having this conversation, meanwhile you're still just as pathetic as you were 2 days ago - with nothing to give hope that you'll ever improve.
For it to be a lie, I would have had to have known it was wrong to begin with. My immediate reversal when presented with the correct information (again, after 6 comments of bullshit) proves that I wasn't lying.
Meanwhile, the fact that every single comment you've delivered has had pathetic insults (ad hominem much?) proves you are an asshat.
