As long as someone backed up the repository, it can still be forked, right?

Clearly they meant "Don't (do the right thing), be evil"

Wouldn't SimilarWeb not be counting people who watch streaming services via apps rather than their websites? As that would be most of the traffic for those services, it not being counted would skew results in favor of FMovies, since it doesn't have a comparable app.

There's also an existing template to mark the talk pages of editors suspected of having a conflict of interest based on their edit history.

Rather than talk about what Wikipedia should or shouldn't do to improve, people should take the initiative of helping to improve it themselves. Wikipedia is ultimately a collective of its volunteer editors, so the best way of enacting change on the platform is getting more people to make informed, unbiased improvements to articles.

Unless it's just taking a while to come down from the scene group heavens, some 4K TV show seasons seem to be perpetually missing, presumed due to Widevine L1. Oddly, sometimes half of a show's 4K seasons are released while the others aren't.

On iOS at the very least, being unable to download apps from a source other than Apple is monopolistic behavior, as it does not allow the free market to determine what the added fee for app hosting and payment processing should be (versus an artificial 30% fee that bolsters Apple's profit margins), as well as limiting what apps are or aren't available on the basis of Apple's own app store policies. Apple can run their app store as they see fit, but as a consumer I should have to option to download apps from competing app stores.

They still won't listen; they want an excuse to raise subscription costs again while using it as a means of lobbying Congress to pass bills that favor them...

Private torrent trackers, usenet, and debrid services aside, qBittorrent + Jackett lets you search multiple public torrent trackers at a time, helpful for when one indexer has a release missing from another.

There's also the worldview that excludes Threads from instance federation for having financial incentives out of line from the rest of the Fediverse.

Depending on the situation, up to #13 for me. A caveat to that might be whether or not the creator has appropriately priced their product so as to justly compensate themselves without charging consumers excessively. While I had it in my Steam library already, Factorio deserves to be pirated for breaking with the standard practice of not raising game prices with inflation. Same with Sega's anti-consumer move to remove the Sonic ROMs from the Sega Genesis collection to boost sales of Sonic Origins.
