I use Tivimate on AndroidTV. I have iMplayer TV installed on my AndroidTV as well, but I don’t use it frequently. However, I do appreciate having iMplayer installed on my phone.
special mention for these 3 applications which are not too bad either:
On Windows ProgDVB is really good (but I’m not a Windows user BTW) on Linux I use iptvnator
Piracy has always offered a simpler and more user-friendly alternative to the official methods of consuming movies and series. And today, with tools like Jellyfin or Plex, everything is more accessible and at least centralized, so you don’t need 15 platforms (you just need to know where to look to get the content). In the case of games, the presence of anti-tampering solutions like Denuvo is a significant concern. These solutions not only consume a considerable amount of system resources but also ironically make pirated versions more playable on less powerful platforms. Unless companies adopt a new mindset and approach, piracy is likely to continue thriving and evolving.
I use Archlinux BTW and I use FOSS software 99% of the time. (I need BurpSuite but rarely)
FOSS software just takes a long time to catch up with paid-for software in terms of functionality, but sooner or later becomes much better than its paid-for competitor, for example: Blender, OBS, Matrix (chat), etc.
From time to time, I pick up a few cracked games, but I also buy a lot of them. Sometimes I pay for games and end up buying the cracked version because DRM just gives me a big stutter in the games.
On my dual boot Windows 11 (MassGraveled) I do have StartAllBack (Homemade patched), Photoshop (M0nkrused), Ableton (R2ed) and an Office Pro Plus pack (OfficeTooled + KMSed) that I almost never use. If I start up on Windows, it’s to amuse myself by either EDR bypassing, Reverse Engineering Games and Programs, doing some malware analysis, or dev some games cheats.
It must be 4/5 months since I’ve relaunched Windows because all the games I play run natively or with wine/proton on Linux with almost no loss (for some I’ve even gained in performance).
I think we have to keep up the protest. Personally, I find Lemmy much better than Reddit. All that’s missing is for users to follow the movement, but that’s not going to happen.
Just use Revanced or Revanced Extanded. If you rooted like me (OnePlus 7 Pro + Crdroid 9.5 + Magisk & LSPosed) just use the magisk module, it work great but on my brother phone (not rooted) he use it with the MicroG without problem but you need to disable the official youtube app if you don’t want dupe app
