Exactly

If you have people living in your mirrors at home, you have much bigger problems than I can help you with, sorry.

Then just… don’t use those platforms? If you’re so afraid they’ll convert you.

If you open your subscriptions JSON, it will just open in the app and start loading your subs.

You don’t need to bypass anything. You can just not pay and the app will continue functioning just fine.

It’s the WinRAR model.

There are several "new YouTube"s. The problem is getting people to transition to them. And this is intended to do exactly that.

Rossmann has a millionaire backing up his repair business

Billionaire, actually.

So, is some of this being funded by that person and other investors of FUTO or is our money the only thing keeping this afloat?

The billionaire (Eron Wulf) is also the founder of FUTO. They don’t have investors.

STN has a huge privacy problem in that it has to be connected to a Google account.

That’s the exact opposite of what most people want from an app like this.

Publishing on iOS creates a whole plethora of hurdles because everything you install has to first be approved by Apple. This is an Apple problem. The founder of the company has said he doesn’t like developing for iOS for this reason.

“open source” is a self explanatory phrase. The source code is open, therefore it’s open source.

It does them very poorly

Most Newspapers trade on their credibility

BWAAAAAAHAHAHA!

I don’t need “spoon feeding”. I just need a torrent site that doesn’t have literally every button redirect to ads.

I mean I have >200 subscriptions so that would get expensive quickly.

FreeTube uses Invidious proxy (if enabled).

Newpipe uses Piped proxy.

What?

That’s because only a very small percentage of creators get enough views to make tangible amounts of money…probably the same ones you actually watch.

LOL no PS = Pro Skater

…yes? They do.

I would absolutely love to see a revitalization on proxy software specifically designed to eliminate ads and tracking.

You’re in luck because we already have several. Namely Piped and Invidious.

I see a lot of people saying “but that’s how creators get paid”

And they’re not wrong. But they put themselves in this position when they uploaded their videos to servers owned by one of the worst corporations in the world, with massive privacy implications, and no alternatives.

I watch them on other platforms when they make it available.

If you’re on Android I’m actually going to recommend a new app from Futo called GrayJay. It’s cross-platform so you can watch videos from YouTube, Twitch, PeerTube, Rumble, Kick, etc. all from a single app.

Most Linux distros have an app store AKA “package manager” to manage software.

Flathub is the main repository where updates are sent.

I went to 1337 and literally all I got was ads.

ones of the torrent sites

Great, thanks…

I was looking for the new Steam game…

I’m so very confused.

Vimm.net seems to be entirely comprised of emulators.

I found it on c/crackwatch. It links to this predb site which prompts you to download a text file that has the same instructions in it as the website. The first instruction says “extract”. Extract what? It also says I have to change firewall settings so the game can’t connect to the internet and I’ve no idea how to do that.

I don’t see Tony Hawk or any other games on that megathread site.

All these torrent sites just seem to link back and forth to each other.

Search results for a good place to find Torrents turn up nothing but VPN ads.

Which megathread?

Thread hijack:

Has anyone found a Tony Hawk PS1+2 file? Not about to pay $40 for some online-only BS.

Yeah this stuff just confuses the shit out of me but I definitely don’t want any telemetry on my server and I don’t trust canonical anymore. TrueNAS is the one I was planning to use but I’m hoping for something comprehensive.

• You can’t actually own movies anymore unless you buy physical copies (which are subject to damage over time).
• You’re dependent on someone else’s servers to stream the movies.
• The providers can and have removed movies you’ve paid for.
• Not dependent on your internet connection, which can be unreliable for many.

Is there a guide for using something other than Ubuntu? Is TrueNAS a suitable alternative?

Well it sounds like they took it down immediately so it was “resolved” but I guess that doesn’t undo the lost revenue.

The same photo is still in use by The Movie DB, one of Plex’s data suppliers.

So someone submitted a copyrighted image to a 3rd-party user-created database and Plex ingested the image.

Seems like the claimant has a legitimate case but it’s strange that they didn’t sue the people actually providing the image. Not enough money in it, probably.

This can also theoretically help get around Netflixes password sharing restrictions

This is the interesting bit here. I assume others will follow in Netflix’s steps shortly (Netflix made a fuckton of money from this) but this would also help you circumvent this crackdown with your Apple subscription…

Plex has been more and more pushing their personal shit into your UI over the years.

Perfect timing. Netflix DVD just shut down yesterday.

is gnome meant to be read as ‘genome’?

If we’re being pedantic, yes 🙂

I am not a programmer by any means but I know enough to know they did their research.

Except Tyrell called it “nome” instead of “g’nome” and I’m pretty sure TOR exit nodes can only see unencrypted data and the entry node can only see who sent it.
