#OpenBSD gains (open) Widevine DRM support on Chromium. This will fix compatibility with a large number of streaming services.
Please do note that Widevine has three security levels. Platforms can dictate what level they require. For instance, Netflix only allows SD (480p) playback at L3 and limits 4K to L1.
L1 requires secure boot, a signed and approved kernel, etc. This is not going to happen. Not on the BSDs, not on Linux.
Have yet to experiment with it - I presume it will default to L2. That is 720p playback on Netflix, if I am not mistaken.

Please do note that not only video streaming uses Widevine DRM, but audio / music streaming tends to use it too.
I personally greatly prefer media without DRM. Eg, I tend to get my music albums from Bandcamp - especially on their Friday specials where 100% goes to the artist.

Quite funny! I'm dismissing as many as possible old accounts of mines, bound to US-based companies.
Vimeo: in order to gain access to this platform I'm required to perform age verification by selfie and (optional) by ID government document.
A huge middle finger to you too!
Just contacted privacy@vimeo.com and requested my account deletion, as EU citizen and according to "Right to Erasure" (GDPR).
My issue is under review... Stay tuned.

@AnnaAnthro He's gonna keep it, unless we pry it out of his cold dead hands. Of course we'll have to cease our wild and unimaginable celebrations to do it.

@mattotcha "Researchers have shown that octopuses can be fooled by a version of the "rubber hand illusion," by stroking a real octopus arm hidden from view and a visible fake octopus arm at the same time. When the fake arm was pinched, the octopus reacted as if its own arm had been attacked โ by changing color or pulling back" ๐๐๐

@lowlevel @steek_hutzee Ma quali incendiarie, le fa meccanicamente, non si ricorda nemmeno il significato di quella battuta.
