Comment on That's all folks, Plex is starting to charge for sharing

Turns out some of us make compromises and you’re just going to have to get over that.
You use no services that have some info on you? Not one subscription service? Not one social media account?

Been slowly chipping away at those for the last decade (could have gone way faster but I’m lazy), and I’m almost completely google-free. I dont use any microsoft products at home (work forces me to), and Apple can eat my ass. My phone is a completely de-googled GrapheneOS device (I don’t have an issue relying on companies for hardware, just software), and hopefully in the future a Liberux or Pinephone linux phone.
I self-host my own movies, music, and cloud storage. I also host my own chat service for friends and family, built on top of XMPP. The services i do use are generally very privacy respecting like Signal for people outside of my social sphere, or freedom respecting like Lemmy (mostly weaned off of reddit).

Ok so you expect us all to listen to your lectures and operate under a standard you yourself don’t because you, as you put it, “are lazy” and are “chipping away at it.” Got it.

Ahh there it is, I knew you’d do that.
I abide by my own lectures, I am actively putting effort into it and am 99% of the way there, which is 100% more than you.
