Its really hard to find a dress that is sized and proportioned for our bodies. For some reason clothing companies are positively allergic to making cute "plus sized" clothing. Personally I go for dresses with straps rather than sleeves, the others just make me dysphoric.

Congrats on coming out at work! I'm a little ashamed to admit my work is the one place I've been too afraid to come out (I work with clients and you never know how much of a shitbag they can be).

But this conversation has absolutely nothing to do with the topic at hand

They stop their ads for the same reason you don’t shit talk at a funeral: its disrespectful and makes you look like a prick.

I'm using an ✨analogy✨ to explain to you why, even if they are "serious about the topic in the ads", they would stop them when someone dies or a tragedy occurs. Its not some conspiracy about "planned division", it's because speaking ill of someone under those circumstances makes you look like (and be) a disrespectful dick.

I'm not asking if you remember them as an arsehole and speak of them like that. I'm asking if you do that at their funeral.

I'd be interested to hear whether you regularly attend funerals and speak ill of the deceased. They stop their ads for the same reason you don't shit talk at a funeral: its disrespectful and makes you look like a prick.

She drew crosshairs on congressional districts and tweeted it with the text "Don't Retreat, Instead - RELOAD". That is stated in literally the first paragraph of the article your citing, and I can't help but feel you're intentionally misrepresenting it to draw a false equivalency.

An audience member was killed according to ABC News (Australia)

Making a breaking change to the mobile API also breaks old outdated installations of the app. Websites and their APIs are usually synced, apps not so.

If they were really motivated to stop your method, they could just obfuscate the frontend with webpack and break your scraper every time they make an update.

I suspect that any of the methods proposed here would be prone to a C&D, but IMO the safest legally would probably be the RSS method (not a lawyer though). Reddit's RSS feeds are public, documented, and available without the need for private APIs, authentication, or an API key, so I don't see how they could claim that a wrapper is unauthorised/illegal. Documenting their private API however seems like a gray area. Google LLC v. Oracle America, Inc. found that APIs are copyrightable, but this use may constitute fair use.

Is there a reason you're scraping data rather than attaching a network sniffer/reverse engineering the official apps and documenting the results? Or map the RSS feed to an API? The main thrust behind my comment is that I think scraping is pretty fragile, so I'm interested as to why other options are infeasible.

Taking a quick look at the source code (of which I am not familiar so I could be barking up the wrong tree), it seems that Jellyfin gives you a list of candidates in the following order: similar to recently played, similar to liked, directed by recently played, actor from recently played, has liked director, has liked actor. Similarity is calculated by rating and production year, as well as shared number of connected people, genres, studios, and tags. For music, it also adds specific criteria for other albums the artist has worked on.
