Netflix Windows app is set to remove its downloads feature, while introducing ads ( www.techradar.com )

Netflix has managed to annoy a good number of its users with an announcement about an upcoming update to its Windows 11 (and Windows 10) app: support for adverts and live events will be added, but the ability to download content is being taken away....

I'm laughing in Plex

Good luck with that lol

Unfortunately, R#ddit is still a great resource for that. Check out the /r/Piracy wiki.

To summarize, Usenet is made up by servers that host all the "newsgroups", but nowadays newsgroups are used to share files (like email attachments).

You don't need to know anything about Usenet itself, the things you need are three:

  • an indexer (they let you find nzb files, like torrent files)
  • a Usenet server subscription (where files are actually stored)
  • a client to download from that server (nzbget and SABnzbd are the two most used)

Good luck!

Tobias, is that you?

In Italy nobody gives a fuck, unless you start making people pay for your piracy service (e.g. illegal sports streaming)

It's literally their web app put in a Chrome window.

It's outrageous. The Mac version of Outlook is way better, and it's native!!

Microsoft Team has always been a webapp

They don't need to republish the 60 million questions, they just have to credit the authors, which are surely way fewer (but IANAL)

10 POINTS!!

No, domain names are tied to a person and, even if that person register the domain with fake person details, there will be a digital payment associated with the purchase.

Honestly I'm on a IPv6 provider (with CGNAT for IPv4-only services) and everything works fine.

I think people are just lazy.

Scrollone ,

Luckily I haven't noticed any restrictions.

My provider uses the same IPv4 for four different customers, and it lets each one of them use a different range of 12000 ports each (of course, the random user on ports 1-12000 is the "luckiest" one because he could theoretically host a website on port 80 or 443).

But this means I can expose my Torrent client or Plex or any other services on a custom port, directly forwarded.

It works really well in my experience. The provider is Free (France).

Let's hope that the EU steps in. It's the only institution in which I have some faith left in...

People downvoting you without having read the article 😭

Oh my god I hate client side decorations.

I used to love GNOME 2, but now I've jumped ship to KDE and I love it.

Scrollone ,

I don't think I hate something as much as I hate client side decorations, "minimal" interfaces and the whole GNOME 3+ theming.

If you use Twitter, you support the Nazis.

Didn't the bunny don't have any subscription?

I use my Microsoft account with a standard OTP app, you don't need their own app.

Sent by who? Apple? Microsoft? Russia?

Maybe we're going into conspiracy theory territory, but he's surely acting like he was sent by a competitor

Scrollone ,

KPIs might be great, but land for new competitors is being created by Google itself

I'd never invest money in Google right now

Here we are, spam has finally arrived on the fediverse

Windows 11 Start menu ads are now rolling out to everyone ( www.theverge.com )

Microsoft is starting to enable ads inside the Start menu on Windows 11 for all users. After testing these briefly with Windows Insiders earlier this month, Microsoft has started to distribute update KB5036980 to Windows 11 users this week, which includes “recommendations” for apps from the Microsoft Store in the Start menu....

Maybe they should branch Windows like in the old times of 9x and NT.

Keep a backwards compatible version for companies and create a new clean OS from scratch like Apple did with OS X.

Scrollone ,

You don’t have to do it! :)

One of the original maintainers of Simple Mobile Tools forked the project and he’s adding new features and fixing bugs.

The project is called Fossify and you can already download the apps from both Play store and F-Droid

Ooops, sorry, my bad!

Instagram Advertises Nonconsensual AI Nude Apps ( www.404media.co )

Instagram is profiting from several ads that invite people to create nonconsensual nude images with AI image generation apps, once again showing that some of the most harmful applications of AI tools are not hidden on the dark corners of the internet, but are actively promoted to users by social media companies unable or...

You can still be wank material with just your Facebook pictures.

Nobody can stop anybody from wanking on your images, AI or not.

Laughing in Plex server

Scrollone ,

I agree with you; Plex is completely enshittified. Unfortunately, Jellyfin still lacks apps for some platforms, even though they recently added webOS (old versions included) so the situation is slowly getting better.

That’s the way monkeys eat them. It’s the easiest way

Can you live without YouTube ?

Today in a Privacy community a post about YouTube. No word about privacy but all about which software or settings are needed to watch videos and the money needed to host videos. It made me wonder whether some of you can lead a meaningful life without YouTube. Or will a cold turkey bring the worst out of you ?

Scrollone ,

TV is simply not there. Some YouTube channels are about a topic that’s so niche that there’s nothing similar on TV.

Scrollone ,

Just a small correction (hope you don’t hate me), but it should be “cease”, not “seize” in your sentence.

Scrollone ,

Install SmartTube and use that instead of the official YouTube app.

It’s even better than the real YouTube app because, unlike that, it’s native.

In the EU you have to verify your identity every time you log into your bank. You either need a physical token or you can use a mobile app to verify it’s really you

If I have to pay for Google, I’d rather pay Kagi.

When I was a kid, porn was the first thing I search for on Google.

Imagine my shock when Internet Explorer kept suggesting what I had searched whenever I started typing in the Google search box…

It took me a while to understand that it wasn’t Google, it was my browser

Also in Italian, we used to call it “neve” (snow).

Scrollone ,

What are they used for? You just take one and wave it?

Scrollone ,

Yes, but it prints the page, so in this case it wouldn’t print anything

Shit, my own TV is not even on android 10

Poooork is the meat of kings…

I’d like to have enough money to pay for Kagi :( their trial made me think it could easily replace Google for me

You can use yt-dlp to download from other website, not only on YouTube.

Send an email to your local council. Attach photos, explain what could solve your horrible situation. Nothing will probably happen, but if many people start asking those things officially, in the long run it may help.

Scrollone ,

Because they increase usage of the apps. People just doom scroll and keep playing.

It’s a horrible thing IMO

Scrollone ,

I agree. Also, I can swap a disk with a new one with the same label, no need to change fstab
