Stremio alternative for iOS and tvOS

Hey there,

After all these years, is there any chance for having a Stremio alternative for iOS and tvOS?

Stremio has all that helpful plugins, and steaming platforms are just assholes increasing prices, and reducing the quality of their products.

EU Party Pushes Back Against Gaming Companies Shutting Down Games People Have Paid For

Not even most of those people lucky enough to have grown up along with the gaming industry (and associated software and hardware breakthroughs) often wonder, what happens to video game classics when they get – “put out to pasture?”

More importantly, how does that happen, why, who decides – and can anything be done to keep these “orphaned” (i.e., no longer actively developed, supported, and eventually, sold) pieces of software still around?

The Pirate Party, which is miraculously enough represented in the European Parliament (EP) from several member countries, is asking exactly that question.

Lately, the EP “Pirates” has been prominently involving itself in broader issues of internet privacy and security.

But with the latest initiative to get the EU Commission (of all things…) to provide “an opinion about the legality under EU consumer protection law” regarding Ubisoft deciding to “kill” the “The Crew 1” game as of this April – this political grouping seems to be revisiting its roots.

The gaming community is rallying against the increasing trend of publishers rendering video games unplayable by shutting down their servers, a practice exemplified by the recent closure of Ubisoft’s decade-old racing game.

In the end, it comes down to proprietary vs. open-source software. There would never be the need for the Pirate Parties, or the “Stop Killing Games” to bring up these issues if the code was open.

After all, the free and open source status is what allows for the longevity of the most important single piece of software that is the backbone of the entire global internet – the Linux kernel.

But back to “strictly gaming” – and German MEP Patrick Breyer writes, “the shutdown of ‘The Crew 1′ by Ubisoft is an alarming example of how gamers’ interests are being ignored. It is unacceptable and probably also illegal for companies to first sell popular games at a profit and then kill them at short notice.”

The video gaming industry has for some years now been bigger, in terms of revenue, than the film industry. Other than what this means to those collecting that revenue – there is also the cultural impact of an entertainment and art form that reaches so many people around the globe.

Technically, it’s comparing apples and oranges – but essentially, it isn’t. So how would you feel if “Citizen Kane” – or “Blade Runner” – suddenly disappeared off the face of the Earth?

Speaking of the latter – it took decades for the movie to gain its rightful status as a classic.

But what if it never had that time?

This is another issue that “killing off” games brings up.

And so, Breyer writes – “Pirates demand a legal framework that prevents orphaned software from simply disappearing. The community should have the opportunity to take orphaned software over and develop it further. This policy also promotes sustainability, for example by allowing control routines for hardware to be maintained and updated, which increases the service life of the devices.”

Telegram issue

So I’m trying to get a bot from a channel to forward its messages to my private channel. But I keep getting this message and I have no idea where to change this

I have checked both channel settings and the telegram setting.

This is the message I keep getting:

“Disable UserTransmission so bot can send files to users!”

I tried to upload a picture but for some unknown reason, Lemmy won’t let me.

Tailscale to avoid Netflix TV restrictions?

Hello Sailors,

So sadly my family still insists on using Netflix(for now), and with their recent restrictions you can only have one active TV at the time, unless the TVs are in the same home. So this had me question, what happens if all TVs are put on the same tailnet(or same subnet for that sake), would that be able to "trick" the netflix system? Has anyone tried this? Or do we already know that it wouldnt work?

(I am working on setting up the full arr stack)

Pinterest alternative in the pirate way

Pirates, I’m in need of help.

I’m searching for an online mobile based app to store images, videos and gifs in cloud (on an iPhone. Yep, I know..)

I used to use Pinterest for fan-dom image collecting (anime, manga, movies, books and such). However Pinterest new policy is ridiculous. Every day a pin gets removed for the most ridiculous BS.

So is there any way to do this without any POS policy company interfering?

Hi,

Getting a new ssd for my media/games library, need some input

This is the new 4tb ssd I am considering, since I am running out of space on my laptops internal storage. Considering its on sale for $300 instead of $900, I think its a deal but then again im not sure if the sale is because there are issues with this type of drive or something.

I'm just trying to get something I can play movies and some older games from on trips and such, so the small size is also appealing. There is a non-pro version of this that is slower, but it only offers up to 2tb for basically the same value per GB. Not sure if I'd even get the advertised 2000MB/s speeds since there's probably going to be a bottleneck somewhere else in my laptop, but thats not a deal breaker since I'm not sure when I would need that kind of speed.

If you guys have input on any other external ssd recommendations or setups you use I would also appreciate that.

What is the safest way to play a game that uses a modded Steam_api.dll to avoid getting banned?

Hypothetically, if someone were to download a Steam game from FG what's the best operating procedure to avoid being Steam banned? For example, I understand that steam_api.dll will often be quarantined by MS Defender because the game uses a modded version of that file. Once it's restored what steps would you take to proceed? Log out of steam? Disable internet access? Kill all Steam processes?
