They announce a retro collection but ommit the list of games… 😑

Yeah, the ideal outcome is someone using the site dump on Archive.org to create a sucessor site. The longer it takes to get done, the more people will rely on Dicord to host romhacks, which is terrible for discoverability.

I read it too fast that I thought TorrentFreak was down. 😅

I’m actually trying to do the opposite. For some reason my phone keeps the old Twitter icon on my home screen while it is already updated to X in the Google Play Store.

If Musk can prove their speech is based on maliciously cherry-picked examples and that it caused financial harm to his companay, of course he can sue for damages. They keep their freedom of speech, but not freedom from consequences.

Your voice kinda reminds me of this youtuber which I’ve been subscribed to since old times.

I used a seedbox some time ago to download a specific big torrent (at the time). I payed using Paypal, as I don’t consider seedboxes a low-hanging-fruit for rightsholders to persecute at the moment.

There’s too much redundant data on these services, so if they takedown one user’s data, there’s still lots of the same torrented data on other user’s. I don’t think rightsholders are willing to play wack-a-mole for such infractions.

They’d rather invest their resources on more centralized file sharing, such as big public torrent sites and cyberlockers.

My history log has been shit lately. When I search this log, it seems many of the videos I’ve watched are missing, but if I search my browser history I can find them normally. That’s the only reason I turn on my watch history, as my browser’s history gets deleted automatically after 6 months.

I’m sorry but I don’t remember typing this LostRedditors stuff. I’m just as confused as you are. (some mod edited my comment?)

And it was never my intention being combative about the NewPipe competitors. I just think Vanced and ReVanced are in a completely different category of apps. As they potentially may step on some DMCA rule, they’re far more vulnerable of being taken out by Google. And most hobbyst devs just abandon their projects at the first sign of a DMCA or Cease and Desist.

Like the Gamesir X2.

Will they ever make a telescopic controller? The options available for this kind of product are very few.

In general, movie piracy is more targeted by rightsholders, so if OP is not interested in this category he’s pretty safe in a country the doesn’t care.

How will this migration actually work? The comments transfer over?

Some banking apps are asking for live-selfies for authentication, so it’s not entirely useless.

I’m out of the loop on this subject. I know Onedrive previously offered 15GB to free users, then strunk it to 5GB, but kept the larger amount to legacy users.

Have they made another reduction recently?

r/LostRedditors

Certainly it is illegal to distribute Vanced because it’s a modified version of Youtube official app, which is copyrighted.

Re-vanced may have found a workaround so that users modify the app themselves, but Google may claim DMCA’s anti-circunvention rule is being breached, and sue the relevant parties if they wanted to.

If the criteria of comparison is being open source and long-lived, no other YouTuber player app matches NewPipe. There’s Vanced/ReVanced, but they’re on another category and border the illegal.

If you’re asking because you’re tired of NewPipe’s UI, I read that the developers are planning to revamp it to get rid of some technological debt and streamline further development.

2023 - 30 = 1993. If your year of reference is this, then most SNES games would not be considered “retro”. Pokemon Green was only released in 1996.

Ars Technica recently published an article very critical of Mastodon. The main takeaway is the argument that Mastodon won’t scale well to a large userbase, as the more instances there are, the bigger the server burden to everyone. And as most users are against corporate funded instances (they’d defederate from any that emerge), it may be unsustainable mid/long-term.

I wonder if these scaling-issues apply to Lemmy too? The instances make copies of posts/comments from other instances. They copy images too? And videos? If so, I imagine a future where only the bigger and wealthiest instances will survive.

And concerning moderation tools, I know they’ll improve with time. But how can a federated system like Lemmy do certain tasks that Reddit’s Pushshift enabled? Example: bots detecting and deleting re-posts, spam, bad actors across multiple communities, etc.

I’m more motivated to participate when there’s fewer comments. On Reddit I often refrained from commenting when I noticed the other commenters already covered the point I wanted to make.
