I voted for Kamala Harris. Before that I would have voted for Bernie Sanders.

I voted for Harris. What else was I supposed to do?

I'm still gonna take pennies out of his pocket by taking as many free games as I can. At least most of the people involved in making games aren't assholes.

Pirate it AND claim it for free on Epic. Take pennies out of Tim Sweeney's pocket.

That sounds like a failing on Epic users to me. I ran Heroic on windows before I made the switch to linux. The fact that Epic gives shit away for free without even requiring their launcher is pretty insane if you think about it. A lot of the games can run DRM-free from Epic as well (the original Horizon: Zero Dawn for example).

This is not the kind of corn smut I cum here for!

I wonder what causes that. The only time I've had customization reset is if I wiped the metadata during a server migration on accident, or decided to clear it intentionally.

The writer claims that plex drives people towards recommendations even after disabling the recommended tab, that’s the part I’m trying to figure out.

From their blog post about it:

An unauthorized third party accessed a limited subset of customer data from one of our databases. While we quickly contained the incident, information that was accessed included emails, usernames, securely hashed passwords and authentication data. Any account passwords that may have been accessed were securely hashed, in accordance with best practices, meaning they cannot be read by a third party.

The passwords were hashed and, I'm inferring from their language, salted per-user as well. Assuming a reasonable length password (complexity doesn't matter much here, what we want is entropy) it would take a conventional (i.e. not quantum) computer tens to hundreds of millions of years to crack one user's password.

They've taken other measures as well. Nobody knows the details besides them, but they blocked an entire cloud provider called Hetzner because too many people were using it for pirate Plex servers. They absolutely have to maintain the image of being legitimate like you said.
