Kir,

What about their language selection?

Kir,

Love this answer

Kir,

Adv effectiveness is a fraud anyway, so they wouldn’t care nor notice it.

Kir,

Thank you, this is what I was worrying about. As for the “why”, even if my server is quite stable, a shutdown may be necessary and sometimes slowdowns with pi-hole happened. Some redundancy would have been better.

Kir,

uh! this is interesting! I’m gonna look into this. Thanks!

Kir,

Apparently, they also worsened the UI

Kir,

I’m intrigued. How does it work? Do you have a link or an article to point me to?

Kir,

Thank you for the detailed answer! It seems really interesting and I will definitely give a try on my server!

[Discussion] How do you feel about age verification on Porn sites? (lemmings.world)

Porn sites Pornhub, XVideos, and Stripchat face stricter requirements to verify the ages of their users after being officially designated as “Very Large Online Platforms” (VLOPs) under the European Union’s Digital Services Act (DSA)....

Kir,

Your question is not stupid, but comparing porn to casual nudity is.

Kir,

I think we should stop, as a society, to try (and fail) to handle problems by imposing limits and obligation and start doing it with some fuckin large-scale massive education planning.

In this context: a smart boy/girl, with sexual/emotional education and good critical thinking can have access to all the porn in the world from teenage and be fine 99% of the time

Kir,

I disagree. Family education is very important, but it’s not something you can rely on. Just to point out some major problem:

  • you leave behind everyone that have a problematic family
  • even the most intelligent and benevolent parents will be just limited to their core value and experience, and education needs more
  • education is a very complex process that needs professionals, especially considering a rapidly evolving context like today. You can’t ask a parent to be ALSO a professional educator. You need skills, training, experience.
Kir,

We are just discussing here. Why are you assuming I’m trying to force something into you or your family? How would I do it?

I’m sorry, I think I’m missing the point of your answer. It’s a social and we’re just discussing opinions, nobody can decide anything about anything.

Kir,

Lots of words and lots of assumptions. You can improve a product and release another version with a paid upgrade, while the old version remains completely functional. If your works have made the software substantially better, people will be happy to pay for a new version. If you aren’t adding real value, having the last version should not be necessary.

Kir,

Your biggest assumption is that you don’t have the drive to better a product if you don’t have a subscription model. It’s simply not true. You can and in fact must work to better your product if you want to stay relevant in the market and drive your customer to pay for a new version of your software.

Then, you proceed by describing the positives of a subscription model. While you’re not wrong about those points, you are leaving out the negatives and forgetting that every business model would have symmetrical points to be made.

There are some context in which subscription model are suited for or in fact even necessary, but the harsh reality is that now every software is turning into a subscription model only for two reason: you can extract 10x 100x more money for your customer, and you can lock-in them in order to keep them paying. This has proven to be detrimental for the quality of the softwares too: software loose interoperability and compatibility, updates are so frequent and gimmicky that they can be a problem, etc etc.

Kir,

The only downside is that you won’t be able to play online (at least not while using the modded OS).

Upsides are a lot, from piracy, to homebrew apps, emulation, game modding or overclocking.

Kir,

Privacy is a collective “war”, it’s not something that can be fought on individual level. You can adopt some precaution on a personal level, and try to do better, but it’s something that must be brought to a collective level.

Same as climate change policy and worker right.

Kir,

I live in Europe, and I feel the battle is still on (but very very difficult)

Louis Rossman/FUTO's YouTube app, GrayJay, now supports Sponsorblock... and shames you if you use it

Seriously this was very surprising. I’ve been experimenting with GrayJay since it was announced and I largely think it’s a pretty sweet app. I know there are concerns over how it isn’t “true open source” but it’s a hell of a lot more open than ReVanced. Plus, I like the general design and philosophy of the app....

Kir,

They don’t respect my attention and time, thought

Kir,

Everytime the same argument. I don’t want to see ads never ever, period. They are useless and annoying at best, sometimes plain evil manipulation.

I recognize the need of income for creators, and they can ask for money in the form of donation/subscription and other methods. I am paying and will pay for everything I want to support. If you decide that your way to sustain yourself is by shoving up fake opinions and useless noise in order to manipulate me into buying something, I don’t accept it. It’s as simple as that.

Kir,

Seriously, this. Advetising based economy is hell. what’s next? a punch in the face every 5 minutes of watching? And don’t you dare cover your face, because the creators deserve compensation and punch-a-face insertion by big corporation is the only way they got!

Kir,

You have to set your username/password in the opensubtitle plugin, then you can download the subtitles for an episode directly through the UI (right click on episode and “edit subtitles”). You can also change the setting so that it automatically download subtitles for your language for every media that does not come with ones.

BUT I don’t know for how long will this work, since the new policy
