Trying not to feed the trolls

  • Lemmy works really well with Lotide

  • In the Epic Games Store? They removed them some time ago. Not sure why.

  • Good grief that sounds horrible. I don't want the government to be in charge of what gets preserved and what doesn't.

  • Ah, I see. I'll rename it to "the dark side of male beauty standards".

  • What's clickbaity about the title?

  • IDK man, I've never been a fan of cancel culture. Should someone standing up for the political beliefs mean they should have no career because people stop supporting them? I don't think so.

    That said...yeah I'll do more to support people outside of mainstream Hollywood while I can (for example, I collect physical media, and I'll buy it firsthand from people I REALLY wanna support like the folks behind The Chosen, while for most people I'll just buy their stuff secondhand from eBay).

  • most of them are regime whores so I don’t cry.

    I'm not ideological like that. If actors I watch had to uphold my values I'd be stuck with mediocre and bad Christian films and shows, and I love art too much to do that to myself.

  • I'm always a "support the creators" dude. But what happens when the media disappears? Or if you're not allowed to own it, which is the primary way creators get paid? (Sure you can subscribe to Netflix or whatever but that will contribute to all of the $18 in the showrunners' royalty checks every year.) I generally don't support piracy, but the current landscape makes it hard for me to condemn it anymore in the majority of cases.

  • Look I just don't want Xdefiant to die.

  • If a community was fighting over something so trivial like this I'd consider leaving the game entirely.

  • Lentils are fire. Ramen isn't bad either. If you like fruit, you can buy them in small portions and bring them home to eat each day.

  • Dont both mean shape but only mold refers to the fungus?

  • You could use either VNC or RDP to access your computer remotely through the GUI. I'd recommend RDP because it's more secure. You should also enable SSH just in case something goes wrong with the GUI connection or something.

  • Yeah, there's a part of me that wants to stop caring and just show some of that music to whoever I'm on a date with.

  • Hyperpop. I'm a Christian and only date other Christians and many of those songs have pretty lewd lyrics.

  • It's hard to see how supporting a Jewish state in Israel is more fascist than supporting a Palestinian state in Palestine.

  • The ones I'm most familiar with are stream2watch.me and also the LiveNetTV app for Android. Both were worse experiences than using legitimate streaming services. stream2watch.me had TONS of pop-up ads that were absolute hell to wade through. LiveNetTV is pretty good as far as piracy apps go, but there are pre-roll ads whenever you pick a channel which is kind of annoying.

    Meanwhile with streaming services first you gotta figure out which one has the thing you want to watch. Then you hope it’s actually available in your country.

    That's not that hard to figure out though unless you're trying to watch like Australian rugby in the Bronx or something. Most people aren't going to run into that problem unless American sports blackouts come into play.

    If it is you can then watch it, but not in high resolution, that’s for the higher subscription tier, not the one you have.

    What service keeps you from watching live channels in SD using a tiered system lol

    Oh wait, actually, you can’t watch it, cause your mom is currently using your account on her own pc, and you can’t stream on two devices at the same time.

    This doesn't apply 1:1 to most live streaming services but you do have a point here (Sling Orange only allows 1 simultaneous streams), especially if you have either a large family like the one I'm in, or you're trying to watch a bunch of live games at the same time.

  • I've never heard of a piracy website that's more convenient than live streaming services.

  • Was he pirating because of blackouts though? That part isn't clear.
