spiritedpause, to piracy in The end of movie-web

movie-web always seemed like such a sitting duck for takedowns like this. Any form of piracy that’s grabbing from a few centralized streaming servers is bound to be shut down.

P2P torrents over a VPN is the most resilient way to do piracy.

spiritedpause, to privacyguides in PSA: Nova Launcher has been owned by analytics company Branch since 2022

You can find some solid open source alternatives here, the ones I like most are Lawn Chair and Kvæsitso:

spiritedpause, to privacyguides in Proton: "Introducing Dark Web Monitoring for credential leaks"

oops, should be fixed now

spiritedpause, to pcmasterrace in Logitech being Logitech

This seems to be the case for electronics from European brands in general.

spiritedpause, to privacy in Twitter front-end Nitter dies as Musk wins war against third-party services

@showroom7561 and anyone else:

If you want to follow Twitter accounts from Mastodon, there’s a bridge called Bird.Makeup that still works and is building a workaround to this issue.

I’m working on a Mastodon client called Agora that integrates this bridge into the search, so that if you search for “elonmusk@twitter.com” it automatically loads the bridged Mastodon version of the profile:

spiritedpause, to newcommunities in Tails: A Place on Lemmy for Mastodon Posts

Great concept! Btw in addition to this, if you post something on Mastodon and tag the lemmy community in the post, it posts it to Lemmy directly.

spiritedpause, to fediverse in Bluesky and Mastodon users are having a fight that could shape the next generation of social media

I don’t see how that’s accurate if it’s jointly owned by its employees.

Jack Dorsey doesn’t “own” Blusky, he just gave them grant money in the beginning to kick things off, and is one of the board members.

“Prior to the seed round, Bluesky’s website described the company as a Public Benefit LLC owned by CEO Jay Graber and other Bluesky employees. Post-seed round, the company describes itself as a public-benefit C Corp.”

spiritedpause, to urbanplanning in Are there any US cities that are working on plans to use existing freight rail lines for commuter rail?

That’s for passenger rail between cities, I’m more so referring to commuter rail within a city to get from suburbs to city center. Those systems are generally built and run by state and local gov.

spiritedpause, to evs in Polestar 3 is already on sale with a massive $7,500 purchase incentive for leases

Blows my mind that a (technically) Chinese-made EV would be that overpriced.

spiritedpause, to android in Lenovo bets its Motorola smartphone brand will be the third-biggest globally in 3 years

Forgot about the Moto Z, I’d actually prefer they name their flagships that over Moto Edge

spiritedpause, to android in Lenovo bets its Motorola smartphone brand will be the third-biggest globally in 3 years

It would help to not have a complete mess of a naming scheme for their phones. It should be:

Moto E: Budget/entry level Moto G: Mid-range Moto Edge/RAZR: Flagship phones

There’s no need to confuse everything by adding 20 different versions of each tier with stylus/power/activ/whatever added to the name.

spiritedpause, to fediverse in Whenever the AT protocol of BlueSky is set for others to deploy, won't it have similar problems as ActivityPub instances?

I’m working on a client/app called Agora that integrates bridges like bridgy-fed so that you don’t have to think about those quirks, you just search something like “aoc.bsky.social” on it while logged in to a Mastodon account, it’ll automatically pull up the bridged version of the account for you to follow.
