- I’m a privacy-minded programmer
- I’m (…) aware of how these AIs function
- I am not overly concerned about them
Objectively, these three statements form a paradox. At least one statement has to be false.

I would still recommend turning wifi off when leaving home for privacy reasons (which can easily be automated). The process to identify if a network is trusted or not requires a handshake. So leaving wifi on makes you trackable by the wifi network operators and the apps on your phone with access to your wifi, wether you connect a network or not.
I tried switching from Fennec to Mull a couple years ago, but every third site broke with it. So I reinstalled Fennec.
I think tmdb should have you covered
Torrenting/seeding works great with Mullvad, which doesn’t have port forwarding
I never understood how movie-web got so popular when services like FMovies exist.
That’s not quite what I meant.
The argument I most often see and is that TikTok should stay because Facebook and Google are just as bad. That’s stupid because foreign espionage is obviously worse than domestic espionage to any government.
If your argument is that the TikTok ban is good and Facebook and Google should be next because of the similar practises then I’m 100% with you.
I don’t understand why people get so upset about this. Yes, Google, Facebook, etc. hoard your data too. But there’s a big difference wether that data is hoarded domestically or by a foreign nation that is pretty blatant about their industry espionage and political propaganda. Yes, the US do it too. But you really can’t blame a country for protecting it’s interests, be they ethical or not.
The article makes some good points. Most people downvoting it probably just see a title that attacks their favourite game distribution platform, if there even is such a thing.
Personally, I treat Steam like a rental service, because that’s what it is. Meaning I exclusively “buy” games on Steam at deep 80-90% discounts. So, when the enshittification inevitably hits the fan, I can jump ship without feeling like I’m loosing too much.
I recalled that too. It was like 15 years ago think. The whole thing was a disaster. Adoption was as much an issue as compatibility. Linux and LibreOffice has come along a long way since then. But so did MS. Not even google manages to compete with the level of integration and interoperability MS has. Also, being a state organized enterprise, you just know the transition phase is gonna be chaos incarnate. I just hope the top management is ready for the fight. I truly believe it’s worth it.
If I ever need to explain irony to someone, I’ll show them this thread
I doubt they would be able to. I was interested and looked around a bit. There’s even a whole chapter in their documentation dedicated to adding extractors. First paragraph of that chapter is basically ‘‘do not add piracy websites’’
youtube-dl does something similar (it works on a lot more than just youtube). AFAIK each site needs a slightly altered code. You could have a look at the source on their github.
It might be as easy as forking the project and creating your own extractor.py.
Infiltrate them to track users like they already do now. And if your answer to that is ‘‘VPN’’, there are already countries where these are forbidden by law, what’s to stop them from being outlawed in more countries in the future.
I’m torn. I think everybody should fight back the predatory practices of the entertainment industry. But the more mainstream the piracy practices become, the more crackdown there’s gonna be, and the more of a hassle it’s gonna be to find pirated content.
As always, fmyh to the rescue: https://fmhy.net/videopiracyguide#live-tv-sports
What do you mean by secret tips? Streaming is pretty straight forward. Are you looking for decent streaming sites? In that case go to https://fmhy.net/ and check out the streaming section.
Do you have examples for the sites that don’t render correctly? I’m genuinely curious since I haven’t encountered that issue in like a decade.
I’m suprised as well. But it says monthly active users. So I’m guessing they count distinct logins per month, which a dead account can’t do. I’d guess it’s probably bots looking for keywords and building profiles for recruiters.
I think that take is short sighted. Because the next obvious step to “no right to online anonymity” is “online anonymity is illegal”, and it’s pretty obvious we’re headed that way. In that case, courts can make it pretty fucking hard to protect your right to privacy.
