Someone else already said it and you've already swapped but I'll say it in detail:
when setting the server connection up you selected "ServerName (long string of numbers)" and not "ServerName (your IP - SECURE)"
this routes your connection through the Plex servers and makes it not a local connection anymore. this is extremely easy to do and forget you've done because it barely impacts performance
the more of them that did the better, honestly. Can think of some old fucks who'll have plenty of piss on their graves so the sooner they get into em the better
More of a fun fact, I didn't think Deezer or Tidal were THAT old
Deezer is from 2007, someone from 15 years ago could easily have heard of it
tidal is from 2014, so not quite
Qobuz is actually new, 2023
Nazis lives don't matter, otherwise you're right
Steam has a bunch of runtimes that run in the background even if the main window isn't visible (due to being closed or in game or whatever) while Firefox is only open when it's main window is
so you asked an LLM a question and then asked if we should adjust our schooling based on that?
you're the one who might need schooling again, bruh
Nope, not at all. Its extremely forward, your local IP is listed first every time IME, and your lower-down comment has it backwards as it's your local IP that had "secure" written on it
it's not a dark pattern at all, people are just stupid and don't read (including me, I fucked this up too at first)
