Probably will just be more like their own flavor of Android where they lock down the OS and insert all kinds of malware.

I am pouring one out to this little champ. Stripping HDCP and letting me... archive streaming services from 2016-2023 RIP (lemmy.world)

What killed it, well after reviewing some PS4 gameplay I noticed that it was having audio issues, like it would allow some sounds but not all. It was almost as if it was receiving a 5.1 audio output but was missing the centre channel. Even though the PS4 was set to stereo....

I’m convinced it has something to do with appeasing ignorant investors.

Biggest evidence of that is Epic will give away games for free, but there will be people who prefer to pay for the Steam version over the free version.

Ehhh as much as I’d like to think that’s true, I think that has more to do with managing a bunch of clients and launchers. And also that those clients and launchers are full of spyware and bloatware and ads.

I used to not buy anything on Epic but then I got Heroic Launcher and now I’m not so terribly opposed to it. I have the Steam launcher and then I have HGL for Epic, GOG, and Amazon.

I meant investors of the media publishers, not the creators of the DRM.

Publishers certainly know it doesn’t work but their investors probably demand that they “do something”.

Oh I thought you meant the ads. No, you can definitely whitelist your favorite sites.

helenslunch,

Yes but Google banned them from the extension store so if you’re using Chromium you need to sideload it.

I don’t think so, it can only click the ads you’re served, which you don’t control.

PiHole just blocks the DNS. Facebook serves ads from their own DNS so it’s not possible to block them in that way. Same with YouTube, I believe.

But if they click it, it usually ports you through a tracker link so they can track your clicks, and that’s easy enough to block.

helenslunch,

Wow. I never would have guessed that people would be upset that they couldn’t watch ads.

helenslunch,

That’s because it’s built on top of uBlock. If you click on the extension it even has the uBlock logo. It’s literally just uBlock except it clicks on ads in the background. It even tells you how much projected money you cost them for clicking their shitty ads. And the websites gets paid. Only the advertisers get shafted.

Honestly I’m astonished it’s not more popular.

Hey clueless_stoner, I was referring to the link that this post goes to.

ReVanced is not a modded YouTube app. None of these are.

I’m not at my keyboard

Great, let me just whip out my computer science degree to figure out how the fuck to even do that.

There’s literally nothing about the OP to indicate anything about being in public.

No you should listen to my voice message because I’m not calling 😀

helenslunch,
@helenslunch@feddit.nl avatar

And what’s wrong with speaker phone?

helenslunch,
@helenslunch@feddit.nl avatar

Voice message, not voicemail. It’s like a text message but with your voice.

helenslunch,
@helenslunch@feddit.nl avatar

What’s wrong with this, exactly?

helenslunch,
@helenslunch@feddit.nl avatar

But there’s no one around him.

helenslunch,
@helenslunch@feddit.nl avatar

Yeah I’m not typing out a long ass text message.

helenslunch,
@helenslunch@feddit.nl avatar

Feeling personally attacked I see.

Uhhhh nope, you just made that up.

Well since you are completely oblivious, it’s rude and annoying, no one wants to hear your conversation.

Pretty sure the person on the phone with me wants to hear the conversation…

If you’re referring to being in a crowd of people, I understand, but that’s not what’s happening in the photo.

Voice messages live somewhere in the middle there.

Ways to pirate music as convenient as Spotify?

The reason I gave up on MP3’s and subscribed to Spotify was because Spotify was easy. I’ve been listening “Iron Maiden - Empire of the Clouds” song every day and like a week ago, its removed. This was the last straw for me. Right now I’m trying to find “Stremio” of the music world. Can someone assist?...

This person gave up on pirating MP3s because it was too complicated and the top suggestion is to start a homeserver. LOL you guys are woefully out of touch.
