    OpenSubtitles is hot garbage, a viable alternative needs to exist. Pray for Subscene

          Whisper AI is pretty darn good. I’ve used it to make subtitles for MST3K vids where nothing good exists and maybe only had to spend 10 minutes doing some clean up. It even recognizes when different people are speaking and breaks up the subs accordingly.

          Imagine the next step though, soon AI will generate actors’ voices speaking in any language you want.

    “One does not simply walk into Mordor…” Boromir turns to the camera and continues, “…unlike this video’s sponsor - nordvpn! With the code ‘flame of the west’ you can simply walk your way into an 85% discount off the price of a full years subscription! Thanks nordvpn, and now back to the council of Elrond”

        Bitcoin is a Snitchcoin. Everything is does everywhere it goes and everyone trading in its entire history is tracked and publicated %100 all the way down to the IP address.

        Closest thing you can get away with that is to swap Monero for the Bitcoin on Bisq.

        Monero is anonymous. %100. Regular upgrade to the shuffling of the anonymity is by design and happens between twice a year and every other year.

        Mullvad accept Monero directly. No third party snitch tracker doing the acceptance for them. They give the same discount for the payment method.

          I’m familiar with Bitcoin and Monero, it just wasn’t clear to me how they related to those VPNs.

          I’m all for privacy but if you feel the need to pay for a VPN with Monero, and get seemingly offended by ones that don’t accept it, then I really have to wonder what you need it for.

          Just an FYI, if I’m suspicious and I’ve only interacted with you once, I’m sure anyone who actually cares is also already suspicious of you. If you’re so big on Monero, then you should also know about OpSec.

            Nord is a snitch VPN. Nothing you do in it is private.

            I’m paranoid by choice. I’m choice of such because I’d rather have the skill before the need is the status and late to the party with any skill at all.

              Ok, and how are they a “snitch VPN”? Got any evidence to back up the claim? Or is it just run of the mill paranoia?

              I don’t have a horse in this race, and have no interest in defending Nord. I’ve just seen nothing that indicates what you said is true.

        I assume because Bitcoin has a public ledger and Monero doesn’t. Its more than that, but that’s the gist. Monero literally exists to offer additional privacy over Bitcoin.

        No idea about those VPNs in particular, but I assume its a similar privacy issue, such as keeping logs…

    I occasionally see those types of ads in subs downloaded through the Plex UI, but usually it’s in an intro or at the end. Haven’t seen them in the middle of a dialogue yet.

      I think they only put them in when there’s a long period with no captions. Usually at the beginning or end of a video, but I’ve had them during a silent/dialogue free scene in the middle of a movie before.

    Nord VPN can protect you from 3rd parties* that spy on your activities and sell your data.

    I’ve seen stuff like that in subtitles during the opening or ending credits a few times. Never when the movie was still playing tho…

      It’s likely they got a set for the wrong version. Like this is the extended film but they got subs for the non-extended version.
