    Imagine a government agency ordered Apple to include hashes of all documents they wanted to track into that kiddie porn database. Suddenly the government knows who's got that antivax meme JPG. Or tax protest DOC. Or an environmental report PDF.

    And it's just hashes! Apple won't know what they're tracking, so they can't say "no".

    Now tell me you honestly believe no government *ever* will take advantage of this invisible monitoring power.

    @aaronpk That would be great. And imagine if you could log in and have your personal library on the back of the seat. 🤯

    I mean I already have that when I remember to sync media to my phone before the flight, but there's many reasons that wouldn't work on a commercial flight.

    I just want the Plex app experience with the airline's movie selection! Even on my own device!

    “Why are you defending Apple?!”

    I’m defending facts and people. I personally may love X, hate Y, not know/care about Z

    “Then why are you arguing?”

    Because FUD is harmful and facts matter. If someone wants to love or hate something, they deserve to love or hate it smart!

    They typically either use a satellite or a local media server. The local server can be down a lot but I suspect there are a lot of parties to share blame across there, not just the media system vendor.

    Plex might not want the bad press ;-)

    Sure but like the iOS app shouldn't crash when it tries to start playing a movie

    whenever some tech person says “the metaverse” please remember that the term was coined by Neal Stephenson in 1992 to describe an exploitative, corporatized, hierarchical space that ultimately kinda sucks https://www.newyorker.com/culture/infinite-scroll/facebook-wants-us-to-live-in-the-metaverse

    Plex needs to team up with airlines to run the in-flight movie systems, it's the perfect use for a local media server. And the Plex apps are way better and less crashy than whatever crap the airlines are buying.

Hi, I'm Aaron Parecki, Director of Identity Standards at Okta, and co-founder of IndieWebCamp. I maintain oauth.net, write and consult about OAuth, and participate in the OAuth Working Group at the IETF. I also help people learn about video production and livestreaming. (detailed bio)

I've been tracking my location since 2008 and I wrote 100 songs in 100 days. I've spoken at conferences around the world about owning your data, OAuth, quantified self, and explained why R is a vowel. Read more.
