They address that in the FAQ:

Some early Brave Origin users have asked how Brave can maintain user privacy while requiring a purchase ID (either from a Brave premium account or from the App Store / Play Store).

Brave uses a blind token protocol based on Privacy Pass, which decouples payment identity from service usage. These privacy-preserving subscription credentials allow the browser to verify you have a valid purchase of a premium product (like Origin) without learning anything about you.


> I would abandon Plex completely, but I still haven't found a capable app to remotely stream the 2.5TB of music on my Synology.

I would look at Navidrome. Completely focused on music, and for that application much better than either plex or jellyfin.

I wish they had developed the open source Inbox into a consumer hosted email service for users. It would have been nice to see more competition with Google and Microsoft.


Yeah I had thought this was what they were building when I first heard they had an email project. I guess not.


In other words, they are doubling the annual subscription fee from $10 to $20.


The Windy privacy policy seems decent.

+1 for Windy! Note that there are two apps named Windy, one with a red icon and one with a blue icon. The one you linked to has a red icon and lists its developer as Windyty, SE.

The one with the blue icon has a site at Windy.app. Their privacy policy is much more hand-wavy, with lines about how they “don’t sell” but “share” your personal information:

One of the techniques they list explicitly is to use the Meta pixel for targeted advertising. I’m not aware of any way to remove geo data from, for example, the Meta pixel and the auctions it sells into. It suggests to me that perhaps they’re thinking of your geo data as incidental to placing targeted advertising.


This really interesting, would love to see how Signal stacks up.


What’s a good app for iOS or tvOS? It looks like the official jellyfin app for iOS hasn’t been updated in a year.


What happens to students? If you're on your parents' plan but not physically in their "household"?


You can add extra users to your account and who aren't living with you: https://help.netflix.com/en/node/123277#:~:text=The%20accoun....


> The account owner will need to purchase an extra member slot

Lol, no thanks.

Great time to buy puts for next earnings.


I suspect students are considered part of the "household" because they are for tax and healthcare purposes. But who is going to sue to establish that?


1. "household" is not a general legal term.

2. Dependent is different from household.


From previous information I've seen, they'd have to physically go home once a month and use Netflix on their device there. Otherwise that device will get flagged.
