“One does not simply walk into Mordor…” Boromir turns to the camera and continues, “…unlike this video’s sponsor - nordvpn!

They are transitioning to their .com domain, whose only bonus, other than the wait time and ads, is serving files directly rather than zipped. They could offer this feature on the original .org site with no downsides (the traffic won’t increase because 99% of devices will support gzip on the application layer anyway) but I wonder why they don’t.
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.
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…
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.
No. All my old shit is gone. I was in a coma for 3mo and 3 more in rehab. Came back to all my comps fried or stolen. I know enough never to fuck with them. Don’t take my word for it. Do your own gorramn research.
I have a script that I found somewhere and have made personal tweaks to: https://pastebin.com/RJf9kajk
Put it in a file called sub-clean.sh and check the instructions in the script on how to add it to bazarr
I have not noticed any issues with it, but there can of course be false positives (like someone saying the word “Facebook” in a series/movie), so your miles may wary. (this is why i leave the .trash.tmp file personally, so that i can restore the removed lines if needed)
and as always, this script is provided as is, but it might help someone out there
Paid torrent trackers don’t really exist as far as I know, that’s only really a thing on Usenet. The most common way to get into invite-only private trackers is through recruitment threads on other trackers, so if you aren’t already a member of at least 1 private tracker it’s hard to get into the scene to be honest. There are a few private trackers with open signups, or an ability to apply for an account and get manually approved, but those are pretty rare. The only one I’m currently aware of having open signups is pornolab, and as the name suggests that is a tracker dedicated to porn only. Another one that is very easy to get into is IPTorrents. It’s invite-only, but they are giving so many invites to members that there are lots of people that will give you an invite if you just ask nicely
I’m telling you, there will be a streaming service that will deepfake ads into finished movies. Darth Vader will turn at the at the camera and say “No, I am your father… and you should buy the Elon Musk biography on audible dot com for free”
I was at a Cracker Barrel last night and among the random shit on their walls was an old checker board. The border of the board, taking the majority of the space available, was covered in ads. I guess it never changes.
That’s been going on since Blockbuster was a growth company. Like 20 years ago, for the TV (or maybe DVD, I forget which) release of Get Shorty, they 'shopped in an Oldsmobile Sillouette minivan as a product placement, replacing the original vehicle.
“Its the Cadillac of minivans.”
edit: Actually, the Olds was the one in the theatrical release, which got replaced with another make/model for TV. All the releases I can find so far include the Sillouette.
Slow down there, Satan. I kid you not, I had someone approach me to help develop technology like this a long time ago. The idea was to break into video streams at the ISP and insert advertising on the fly w/o prior approval.
My reaction, after realizing this person wanted to turn the internet into an ad-encrusted wasteland*, was: “What happens when that video stream is something live with a LOT of money behind it, like the Superbowl?” The legal and professional ramifications didn’t even clock with this guy. It was squarely in the “not my problem” category.
(* More-so than it is now. I’m not saying we’re getting off light, but this guy was a-okay with making everything look like the hallway bulletin board in a college dorm.)
Exactly. I tell this story to remind people that cynics aren’t just old cranks on internet forums. They’re also salespeople that decided to make some cash on our way to (consumer) hell, and they’re entitled to a turn at holding the pitchfork.
The catch is that you’re signing up for a recurring subscription, and Audible plays the hard sell when you try to cancel your subscription.
(If you’re determined though, this can be great for you. I think I’ve gotten a total of 5 or 6 audiobooks for free from Audible thanks to their free first month and “please don’t leave” unsubscribe flow and “please come back” emails.)
It looks like they really wanted to get both frames in one picture, so they did the obvious thing…load one frame on your phone, another frame on your partners, and then take your 2007 flip phone out of the drawer and use that to take a picture of both of them.
Side note: why is it SO HARD to put two images together into one image file on a smartphone? There are multiple apps that want $1.99/mo for the privilege of making a collage, Instagram Layout has been broken for years now, and the first party solutions (particularly Google Photos) are overengineered in some big ways (like not allowing you to make a collage without some kind of border) and underengineered in others (like not allowing you to choose an image from a search, make a different search, and then choose another image). And as far as I can tell the only way to actually put one image on top of another is to use Double Exposure on Snapseed.
We’ve had this problem solved on Windows for literally my entire life, and I’m pushing 40. So why can’t we figure out basic, no frills raster editing on mobile? I’m not even talking about layers (though, yes please). I’m talking about pretty much anything other than a filter.
You say “gallery,” but do you mean “Google Photos?” And if so, did you miss the part where I said that exists but is weirdly both over- and underbuilt?
My Samsung does it very easily with decent customization options in Gallery (and has for at least two phones). What phone are you using that can’t? I agree the collage feature in Google photos is lame.
Gotcha! I’ve stuck with Samsung because they make a phone that will fit in the pathetic excuse that is women’s pants pockets. My husband tried to get me to switch to the Pixel but it was too big.
Pocket extensions are a great beginner’s sewing project, nobody can see your pockets in most pants so it doesn’t matter if your stitches are uneven. A basic sewing kit is all you need, you don’t even need a sewing machine.
I mean that. I’m not being sarcastic. I love that idea. I just don’t have the capacity for something like that; I just want something built in to Android.
The answer is that app stores are designed to rake users over the coals for all the money they can. Part of the reason I have never made my phone the center of my computing. It’s too expensive and crap of an experience. I have just always made a habit of carrying around my laptop almost everywhere. I have an old phone (now PinePhone) for calls, texts, music, basic web browsing and internet tethering for the laptop.
Right, but you could say that about…anything. And there are FOSS solutions on FDroid and even the Play Store for a ton of other problems, so why not image editing?
I suppose I hadn’t considered nor know much about slideloaded solutions as my previous phone was an iPhone 5c. It was a handmedown from my parents.
I don’t really like the lack of hardware support on the Android side (parts availability). Not exactly like it’s much better on the iPhone side either. So I went with the PinePhone. Linux on there is very barebones but at least the parts are available. If I am going to use my phone in a barebones manner then why buy in to an expensive fixed life device?
Not exactly a knowledgeable user. Just another user frustrated by the subscription/throwaway economy. I realize this wasn’t really a relevant answer to your question but more how I adapted to the worthless app store.
BTW, one of the few apps I did purchase was 1Password. $60 for the Mac app and $40 for the iOS app. So $100 all in all. Those ass hats switched to subscription only the very next version citing we need funds to further develop the security. That plus a couple other examples is why I gave up on paid proprietary software on both devices. I’m full force trying to find FOSS solutions instead. Not that many exist for mobile or even desktop as you have also discovered.
I don’t generally have a problem paying for an app, it’s the subscription model I hate. And because of business practices outside the FOSS world, it seems like FOSS is the only place to get anything reasonable.
HOWEVER, it doesn’t mean it wouldn’t actually work. Google Play store just started doing this crap based on target API version. Due to that I often search Google for apps, check results from Play Store, and try getting an APK somewhere if I find app that looks interesting. The risk of that is obvious, just like with mod apks.
Edit: In case you trust me (which you really shouldn’t as I am just a stranger), I used this APK extractor: F-Droid linkGithub link
And uploaded the APK here: https://d.kuku.lu/ss3xcf7fe VirusTotal report shows the hash matches already checked Joint Pics_1.2.0_Apkpure.apk so it seems unmodified by the APK extractor (well, that’s what it said before my checks anyway as it uses filename from last previous check). It also came out clean, but that’s not 100% to be trusted, as usual.

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.
This is pirate on pirate violence. Blasphemy.
I once saw a movie where the subtitles before the movie were like “join my wow guild”. Loved it
Did you join it tho?
Never played it :(

Bullshit
The ad read is never that short

I check my srt files for that kind of thing and just remove it. But i don’t download as much material as many people, perhaps.
Scummy.

I think this is at the very end of LOTR 1 if I remember correctly. Like they cut off two of Sam’s lines
It’s true, one does not simply log into Mordor.
Mullvad>Nord
Because:
Monero>Snitchcoin
Care to explain the comparisons?
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…

Sure, but not all readers of the thread will be familiar.

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.
No. All my old shit is gone. I was in a coma for 3mo and 3 more in rehab. Came back to all my comps fried or stolen. I know enough never to fuck with them. Don’t take my word for it. Do your own gorramn research.
So you think your stuff was gone because NordVPN? A real critical thinker, huh?
What is snitchcoin?
Bitcoin
That’s a bit harsh
Leslie I typed your symptoms into this box and it says you might have network connectivity issues?
Can bazarr fix this crap? I got something similar recently.
I don’t think so, but you can use an open subtitles premium account to get rid of ads. it’s not that expensive.
I have premium to deal with the backlog. Maybe it downloaded before I switched.
Yes, you will have to redownload the subtitles.
Odd that people downvote me for answering your questions.

give me $40
All i got is about $3.50
how about a picture of your dongis
Go on, git! Get outta here Loch Ness Monsta!
I’m telling you, there will be a streaming service that will deepfake ads into finished movies. Darth Vader will turn at the at the camera and say “No, I am your father… and you should buy the Elon Musk biography on audible dot com for free”
Only a question of time. Ads are already digitally inserted into movies and shows.
I was at a Cracker Barrel last night and among the random shit on their walls was an old checker board. The border of the board, taking the majority of the space available, was covered in ads. I guess it never changes.

Satan wouldnt do that. Jesus is the one who wants all the advertising

Uuuh my cheap Android phone can do that from the gallery. Its called collage

Pixel, but I’ve had the problem with Motorola and LG in the past too.
Samsung has enough other problems that I’ll never make that leap, but it’s good to know that somebody is working on it.
Gotcha! I’ve stuck with Samsung because they make a phone that will fit in the pathetic excuse that is women’s pants pockets. My husband tried to get me to switch to the Pixel but it was too big.
Totally get it. I miss my Pixel 2 form factor.
