Jellyfin Single-Sign-On Plugin has been archived, no more development
This is likely because I was considering installing it tonight.
But seriously, this sucks. I know Seerr keeps flirting with OIDC. I hope Jellyfin will take the plunge as well. At this point, I get kind of irritated when something I host doesn't support it.

OpenAI Says It’s "Over" If It Can’t Steal All Your Copyrighted Work
Reply in thread
That's fair, but OpenAI isn't fighting to reform copyright law for everyone. OpenAI wants you to be subject to the same restrictions you currently face, and them to be exempt. This isn't really an "enemy of my enemy" situation.

Coincidentally, I moved to self-hosting Vaultwarden last night, which is open source but compatible with Bitwarden. If you want a simple transition and are capable of hosting it yourself, that would be my recommendation.

Plex’s price hikes prove I was right to switch to Jellyfin
Imo anyone who stayed with Plex after they required you to create an account is insane, especially considering there have always been good alternatives.

Border Patrol Agent Recorded Raid with Meta’s Ray-Ban Smart Glasses

They're inhumane terrorists, and I think it's important to point out they're fucking idiots. DHS dramatically lowered its standards to recruit so many so quickly, and we're dealing with some of America's meanest idiots being given a badge and a gun and told to run wild.
They're stupid even by American law enforcement standards, and that's saying something. People are pointing out that this is against the rules, but I'm not even sure these guys can read the rules.

Ugh, I forgot about this. Aren't you still going to be able to install apps from third-party marketplaces? I thought the plan was just that the phone was going to hassle you and require multiple hoops.

Major Tech company urges universal national service
Genuinely no idea what PR hack thinks putting this dude in front of a microphone is a good idea. I've seen more of him in the past month than I can count, and pretty much each appearance is somehow worse than the last.

Authors Guild Asks Supreme Court to Hold Internet Providers Accountable for Copyright Theft
Reply in thread
No, that would be if they tried to assign liability to Bell Labs. ISPs have traffic logs and are assigning IP addresses to pirates. I'd say it's closer to holding Hertz accountable when people who rented cars break the speed limit. Still a terrible idea though.
But I'm concerned how they can request this with a straight face, since we've seen wholesale abuse of the DMCA since its inception. Ask anybody who has a YouTube channel with more than 5k subscribers about the false reports they've received from companies claiming to own someone else's music. People are going to have their access cut off based on fake reports.

To be clear, I'm not saying it's a good argument. OP just grossly mischaracterized it.
The main issue with this is that it would either A. Be massively open to abuse in the same way that YouTube is now, but would come with greater penalties in that you can lose Internet access. Or B. Force your ISP to do a copyright analysis every time they receive a report.
Every illegally downloaded book is a lost sale
This is straight out of 2007. What an awful position to take.
And that's fucking wild about someone fighting you over your own music. The DMCA is a fucking joke.

This is the correct answer. Never forget that US copyright law originally allowed for a 14 year (renewable for 14 more years) term. Now copyright holders are able to:
So much in the modern world exists to enable copyright holders, but terms are longer than ever. It's insane.
