Look, if the problem is the similar designs then sue for that!

No puppet!

Just put the search results in under the search bar, bro.

I think the disconnect here is that you’re using the term producer differently from the way most people do. You’re viewing a “producer” as a normal worker (like you and me). Back to the gaming comparison, the “developer” and “producer” of a game refer to companies. Go to a game’s Steam page. There is a section for each of those. The term is the same for the individuals working there, so it can be confusing. When people say “game developers push for DRM” they don’t mean the individual developers working there, they mean the company, and of course the owners (investors) control the company.

No need to be condescending and say things like “sorry, I just assumed you know this.”

You made a comparison to gaming and said the devs don’t make the money. Who do you think makes the money in gaming? The producers. Why do you think the profits of film making go to law makers instead of the production company bank rolling the movie?

You absolute goober, you said the law makers get the money and now have the audacity to say “You know what error you made. Stop slinking around so we can correct the facts”? I can’t with this. Thanks for entertaining me this morning.

That’s so weird wtf why don’t they call it something like “DNS pool” then?

Why call it secondary then, that’s so counterintuitive lol 😭 I guess “the second hardest problem in computer science” applies because I can’t think of a better name either.

The film industry benefits from HDCP and all DRM, they aren’t being fucked. I’ve looked back over the conversation, I think you have it flipped in your head.

No idea how you say all that but can’t put together which industry specifically benefits from HDCP.

Edit: Apparently years of seeing it called primary and secondary led to a fundamental misunderstanding of how it works lol. Just use a pi and ad guard.

Randomly? No, only when your pi goes down. Or when ever you’re looking at something that gets around the simple DNS based ad filtering pinhole does. It’s foolish to spend twice as much money for this level of fail over protection to prevent ads. It’s not like if you see an ad you’re going to die lol. If you’re that opposed to them, sure, go for it, but you’re better off spending your time doing other things to stop ads than maintaining two pi holes because one might fail.

And like the other person said, just use ad guard’s public DNS. I use it on my router and on my phone.

I just use their free public option. It’s basically as good as pihole. With pihole I still got some ads. I still get some like this.

Huh? Typically you have a secondary DNS entry on your router

Human talking to a human: “If you were going to kill someone, how would you do it?”

Human: “I consume a lot of True Crime stuff so I think I have a bit of an idea on how to get away with stuff, or at least some common blunders, why?”

Later

Tonight’s top story, local person claims they know how to get away with murder!

My god it’s all true 🤯

Yeah, shit like HDCP is pushed by the film and TV industry.

I need to check my girl’s laptop.

Is this person lying/incorrect? https://lemmy.world/comment/16865866

Regarding your last sentence, something similar happened to me with OneDrive. I mocked people thinking surely they enabled something by mistake. Nope. The defaults and general behavior are just that wacky. Glad I’m off Microsoft now.

On Chrome it becomes a smiley face. I use Firefox and my wife still uses Chrome.
