That is a story as old as time. Greed is strong.

It really isn’t because Netflix did it easily in the 2010s. But then, as always, capitalism got in the way and we are back to the cable era where even if you pay, you still have ads.

They never do. They wait for the backlash to be over, change a few things and try it again.

If you cannot comprehend why people are outraged at a product they used getting degraded, not sure what to tell you.

It’s in the second paragraph. This is the beginning of the monetization for everything in Plex now that they have a good user base. They are starting to ramp up the milking.

It will become like any other shitty streaming service eventually.

Are you in a country where ISP are forwarding your information to the copyright holders?

I will check the link. Thanks

Thanks for the info, I will look into that.

Seedbox then. Don’t need to worry then

Do you torrent directly from your jellyfin box or do you have a seedbox that then sync to jellyfin?

I want to do a jellyfin setup, and wondering if I want a seedbox or directly torrent.

Then why is it not applicable to nurses, or teachers or any jobs that have the government as an employer? Everyone was/is getting fucked by the inflation and we’re losing critical personnel by the spade while CAQ is voting themselves cushy raises way above anything reasonable. That’s the problem with the 30% raise.

They spit in our faces and people still find a way to justify it. Stop licking their boot and demand better from our elected officials

Anyone that wants to end their life should be able to do so, regardless of their condition, as long as they are considered sound of mind by the current standards.

There should be a rigorous process, but at the end of that process, if the person still want to end their life, then they should have the opportunity to do so with dignity and no pain.

Show me on the doll where Quebec touched you.

Interac is a private company acting as a payment processor just like MasterCard or Visa.

Each bank have an interface with Interac, and each terminal/cards that supports Interac as well.

This simplifies a transaction. The banks, terminal manufacturer and card manufacturers just need to make sure that their products are certified by Interac (or MasterCard or Visa) and they can make a transaction between them without interfacing with each banks, terminal and card manufacturers directly.

In exchange, the payment processor takes a cut. Usually it’s a base fee + a percentage of the transaction. But each bank and merchants are free to negotiate these fees.

I think that all payment processors are private, but I could be wrong.

From memory, MasterCard and Visa are heavily based on EMV while Interac did their own thing first and then tried to somewhat converge towards EMV. So they have a funky specification. I think that Discover are based on EMV as well, but they do their own thing as well with a legacy payment processing (Diner’s club or something like that)

Banks are risk averse, so trying to get into the payment processor market today would be extremely hard as all the major players already have an interface with the banks, and the terminal/card manufacturers want to ship as many unit as possible, so they pick popular payment processors.

Development and certification is expensive, so they try to do as less payment processor they can get away with.

Because they can’t bleed their tenants dry otherwise.

It’s not enough to have someone else paying your mortgage for you, you need to be cashflow positive each month as well.

Se deplacer dans Montreal est un esti de cancer. On a pas besoin du char sauf quand on sort de l’île, mais y’a du monde qui se pogne le cul à deux mains côté de la mobilité à Montreal. Peu importe l’heure du jour, y’a du traffic parce que y’a des travaux partout.

À chaque fois que je dois prendre le char, je perds la moitié de mes cheveux.

Your point is that blaming corporations is a cop out. My point is that blaming the corporations is not a cop out, and one of the reasons, not the only reason. NIMBY and zoning regulations are definitely also affecting the crisis.

If it really was just investors buying up everything, rents would be cheap.

That is such a naive point of view. Landlords would rather leave a unit empty instead of lowering rent because otherwise it would lower the value of their investment.

The housing market isn’t a free market like you seem to imply. People need to have housing, so landlords will definitely gouge their tenants because they can and we see an article pretty much daily of renovictions and rent ballooning up once the lease is at term. Having more supply would definitely alleviate this problem, but it is only part of the solution. REIT buying swath of houses with lower interests than individuals is definitely inflating the prices because they can buy housing at a higher price, causing the other houses in the area to raise as well.

Corporations are 100% to blame for the rising prices. They are increasingly buying new and old homes (single family, apartments and condos).

According to the CHSP, more than a fifth of all houses in British Columbia, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Ontario were owned by investors in 2020. That is a fucking insane number considering the current crisis.

That is not the only factor, but it is undeniably an issue in the ballooning price of rent and home value.

Alors les chauffeurs de bus devraient se fermer la gueule et prendre leur trou? Une grève, c’est fait pour déranger.

Clairement que les politiciens prennent pas le transport collectif, alors la pression doit venir de la base électorale.

C’est plutôt terrible de promouvoir de classifier le personnel du transport collectif en personnel essentiel pour pouvoir les faire taire à coup de loi spéciale et les empêcher de faire la grève plutot que de s’insurger contre les têtes dirigentes du RTC.
