Drewski,

I'd speak to management and voice your concerns regarding the app, and ask if there is another method available for entry. If not, I'd cancel my membership and look for another gym that respects my privacy.

Drewski,

Which ones do you think are bad recommendations?

Drewski,

If you're on Android, you could check out Newpipe or Grayjay.

Drewski,

The closest thing is LTSC, it still has some telemetry but less than the main version. They haven't released LTSC for Windows 11 yet though.

Any apps or sites that scrapes web pages and gives much better privacy respecting web pages or apps than the official ones ?

The one for reddit is :rdx.overdevs.comI think nitter was like this too ? Not sure as i have never used it or is just a site to see the posts sent to you ? I think piped works in this same manner for youtube so going to link a client too : f-droid.org/packages/com.github.libretube/ . I know barinsta used to be a thing until zuck...

Drewski,

For me it was when they banned Blitzchung from a Hearthstone tournament and took away his prize money for supporting Hong Kong freedom. I haven't regretted it since they don't make good games anymore like they did when I was growing up.

Drewski,

That and the bouncing icons when an app is loading... always thought that looked tacky.

Drewski,

It's not implemented yet, but tubearchivist https://github.com/tubearchivist/tubearchivist has a podcast mode on their roadmap which I've been keeping an eye on.

Drewski,

Just posted this in another thread, it's not implemented yet but TubeArchivist has a podcast mode on their roadmap: https://github.com/tubearchivist/tubearchivist

Drewski,

They do, it's called SteamVR and it's good.

Drewski,

Ditch the Roku and get another Shield or other Android TV device.

Drewski,

Filebot, I like and use the app but it shouldn't be a subscription. You can buy a lifetime license for $48 but it's too expensive for what it is.

Drewski,

As a counter point, I'm against defederation of other instances on kbin and would prefer most moderation to take place on an individual level.

Drewski,

Sceptre still makes dumb TVs at a reasonable price.

Drewski,

First off I'd recommend investing in Real-Debrid, it's a service that caches torrents for streaming and costs about $3 per month. It's required for most of these apps, or at least highly recommended.

Streamio + Torrentio has already been mentioned, Syncler is really good and easy to use, many extra features with Syncler+ but it's not required.

Kodi with addons works really well, but requires some tinkering to get started and basic maintenance / troubleshooting if something goes wrong. Check out old.reddit.com/r/addons4kodi some good addons are Fen, Seren and Umbrella but there are many others, Otaku is good for anime.

Drewski,

Probably because they see it as a weaponization of the justice department. Several of the indictments are using novel legal theories, and the timing coincides with Trump's reelection campaign.

What game is too terrifying to finish for you?

Mine is Silent Hill 3. Its subject matter revolves around the fears of a teenage girl, like death of a parent, puberty, unwanted pregnancy (with a demon fetus, no less), mirrors (THAT ROOM shivers), and stalkers. The atmosphere is so oppressive and I cant play the game without having something else playing in the background, its...

Drewski,

Oh man, Silent Hill 2 and 3 are some of my favorite games, the atmosphere is just perfect. I started playing Resident Evil 7 in VR and the part at the very beginning where you go down into the basement and I just noped out and haven't tried it since. Will probably give it another go eventually...

Recommend me a good and cheap VPS.

I currently use a Droplet from DigitalOcean which gives me 1 gb of RAM, 25 gb of storage and a bandwidth limit of 1 TB which is priced at 6 dollars per month, I think this might be a good offer, but I also think I’m overpaying because the only thing that I use from that is Wireguard to get around CGNAT at my home (which I...

Drewski,

BuyVM has some reasonably priced servers available.

Drewski,

Title is a bit disingenuous, the ruling actually says they are prohibited

from even talking to social media companies with “the purpose of urging, encouraging, pressuring, or inducing in any manner the removal, deletion, suppression, or reduction of content containing protected free speech.”

Government should not be cohering social media companies to silence speech, this seems fine to me.

Drewski,

ISIS probably isn't the best example, because promoting terrorism and advocating violence isn't protected free speech. Regardless, I don't think this would apply to a politician making a general statement like this, but government agencies working behind closed doors to suppress legal content.

Drewski,

Probably an unpopular opinion but I'd rather defederation be left to the users. I don't want to see content from Meta, but I want the ability to make that decision myself.
