More unwanted bloat to disable, I guess.

On some trackers you can straight up pay to raise to raise your ratio, or even temporarily “freeleech”. This is all kinds of iffy, flirting with the scummy.

Enshittification ahoy !

Prince of Persia The Lost Crown looks like a banger, but I am unwilling to spend any amount money on it until Ubi gets the memo and strips Denuvo from it (at least outside of the launch window).

If you do not sign your commits, you deserve to be impersonated. Well, not really, but you get the gi(s)t.

Very much worth a watch, this show is pretty unique. It does complete its story arcs, so you will not get frustrated by that if that is your worry.

Excellent show overall. Season one was riveting, but season two felt rushed.

Because Google is eating the monumental costs of hosting and delivering video content. The cost of maintaining client apps is negligible in comparison. YouTube is not going anywhere unless Google deems it so, or enshittifies it enough to drive users away.

Comme quoi, on n’est jamais à l’abri d’une bonne surprise.

That is not dead which can eternal lie.

I switched over to Livemarks which has provided an almost drop-in replacement. Looking at the low number of users of this extension, it makes sense they would stop supporting it to reduce maintenance cost.

I have been using it for the last ~6 months and found it to be very useful and easy to use. Transferring stuff between Android phones, Windows 10 & 11 PCs and a Steam Deck (i.e. Linux PC) has been a breeze.

You can hear a more detailed explanation on VLC’s stance from the man himself (JB Kempf) in the FOSS pod S1E11 episode around 22:10.

Basically:

• Patent trolling is countered with publicly accessible prior art
• Having no money is also a good deterrent

Be your own streaming service, and keep using the FireTV stick with the Jellyfin app.

En restant dans le thème du biscuit:

Je ne connaissais pas. Si tu ne l’avais pas mentionné, je n’aurais pas cherché plus loin.

I would say it is more of a practical consideration. Private trackers generally enforce upload/download ratios. This ensures the health of the sharing pool stays good.

Je vote pour la mascotte. Peut-être une parodie de Snoo, vu que le nom de l’instance référence déjà Reddit ?
