Kir, to piracy in What are the pros and cons of modifying a Nintendo Switch?

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, to privacy in My "Smart"TV keeps connecting to Netflix, and i don't even have Netflix

Why, exactly? Honest question

Kir, to privacy in Feeling like Privacy is a lost war.

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

Kir, to privacy in Feeling like Privacy is a lost war.

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

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!

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.

They don’t respect my attention and time, thought

What the actual fuck

Kir, to piracy in OpenSubtitles.org is shutting down it's previous API. Now only authenticated access allowed.

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

I’m afraid yes. I use their API to automatically download subs in jellyfin and I guess I’m gonna lose that too :(

Kir, to privacy in Meta offering two options. Either buy addfree experience or accept targeted ads

That’s what I am doing, actually

Kir, to privacy in Meta offering two options. Either buy addfree experience or accept targeted ads

I would happily pay (not for Facebook, but as a general consideration) if you would give me an ads free eperience AND stop gathering data from me.

Kir, to piracy in Should I create a new email for a private tracker?

Which one do you suggest?

Kir, to asklemmy in Where do you go on Lemmy for reliable news and politics?

Unbiased news is impossible. If someone is saying that he’s giving you unbiased and objective news, he’s scamming you.
