  • I like it because it protects my privacy.

    pict-rs (the proxy software) is using ffmpeg in the background to recompile the image which will crash and burn it the image has even the slightest issue/corruption.

    Pict-rs has options to specify maximum width etc which need adjusting else it blocks too much



  • As a household including members that are deaf I think Netflix will pass muster at least for the subtitles part of the requirements.

    Back when cable/satellite television was popular, only mainstream channels offered subtitles as they met the threshold for this legislation. The majority of channels had no or spotty subtitles cover.

    In comes Netflix and everything has subtitles. My wife and I were transformed from requiring to pirate our favourite shows to being able to put down the pirate hat and be legit.

    Obviously this didn’t last long due to the splintering of streaming services so the pirate hat is firmly back on, but the subtitles on Netflix are consistently of good quality. So much so that my deaf wife prefers to use Netflix.
