Days ago I discovered vacuumtube for steam deck. It’s basically youtube with tv interface but with all the adblocks. It works wonders in game mode and even has controller support.

Go figure. Probably they are going to monitor traffic somehow to see if you visit certain websites and if you stay on them for too long, they flag you as a pirate. I’m not concerned, I browse the internet through a vpn.

In Italy they are aiming to block not only soccer streams but any audiovisual content. And they are threatening to fine people using the sites, unlike before, when only the site owners could be prosecuted.

Depends. If we take from when I was a kid? Probably something in the hundreds of thousands or even in the millions. I pirated pretty much everything because I lived in a very small town with no electronics shop so I couldn’t even buy games.

However, in the last 8 years or so? I find that I rarely pirate games anymore. Bundles, steam sales and refunds allow me to buy without worrying about liking the game.

Music is also something I don’t pirate anymore. I’m not one needing thousands of tracks, but rather a small and select collection. So I occasionally buy from bandcamp or other services so I can keep the music I want in my jellyfin server.

Films and shows are a different thing tho. At home whave netflix, so for most stuff we go there, but if something’s not there, I’ll pirate it. So… idk but… some hundreds? I’m not a fan of movies and most of the stuff I watch (which is not a lot) is on netflix.

I just ditched spotify completely in favour of a jellyfin private server that works like spotify for me. If I want to get recommendations, listenbrainz gives me a weekly list based on what i listen.

Considering the amount of people that either voted trump or not voted at all, I’d say that there’s a portion of americans lying.

Oh well, I’ll keep “borrowing” my ebooks from other librarieZ.

If you are sailing the seven seas, you should be using a vpn of any kind by default, so this won’t do shit to you anyway.

Italy thinks their crappy piracy shield works and it does jack to anyone using even the cheapest vpn.

Don’t quote me on this but I think the problem is the game tries to load EVERYTHING on the map, even if it’s not visible. So if your island has decorations and trees in a decent amount, frame rate will suffer a lot, and load times will increase absurdly.

AC runs poorly even on switch. As soon as your island gets some decorations or becomes complex, you’ll see tons of dips in performance and how the console struggles hard to run it. Not surprised the deck struggles too, the game itself is poorly optimized

They learnt nothing from the twitter renaming, didn’t they?

We’re gonna have so much fun triggering Magastanis by calling it gulf of mexico

Fitgirl is one of the best repackers out there, I have never found a compromised torrent coming from her. Dodi is too a very good and equally safe one. I’d say you can trust any torrent coming from their sites without any worry.

Block third party scripts and third party frames.

Works wonders every time.

Soon coming to your best red states.

No, it didn’t. He is a free speech absolutist. For his own speech, not for yours. He bought twitter so he could speak freely.

And the face banquet starts.

Generally, 12ft.io works pretty well for me.

Doesn’t work for me either. Mail cache empty.

I’d bet money it’s the soccer industry.

They are raising prices obscenely and more people are moving to alternative sources to watch it. Those sources are generally IPTVs and the industry is bleeding subs a an allarming rate because (according to them) piracy. Of course, the fact that in countries like Italy, a soccer sub goes over 60€ a month and can be closer to 100€, is not to blame for the users turning to iptvs…

Only soccer is around 60€ a month (more if you want to watch all the games and not just a selection), so do the math
