Pirate Site FMovies Rivals Major Streaming Platforms in U.S. Web Traffic
  • Are you trolling? No enterprise would ever compete with free. They will scream for an onerous legislative solution, which will make all our lives more difficult.

  • Pirate Site FMovies Rivals Major Streaming Platforms in U.S. Web Traffic
  • I wish pirate streaming operations a speedy death.

  • What are your complaints about Lemmy?
  • The big news/current affairs instances are characterized by autistic screeching that has only a passing relevance to the article posted. See https://iusearchlinux.fyi/post/5429432

    You can take the commenter out of R*ddit...

  • Disney to implement measures limiting password sharing on streaming services from June
  • Assume for a moment the platform providers are in a game of chicken, continually eating costs in the hope of soaking up subscribers from their (at some point) defunct competitors. Every year this competition continues, the victor needs to make increasingly outrageous changes to the service offering in order to bridge the profitability gap. Or perhaps they are betting that a chunk of savings will come from reduced spend on rights, in a market with fewer bidders for programming?

    Are investors in the conglomerates even agitated yet?

  • Bob Iger On “Woke” Disney Criticism: “A Lot of People Don’t Even Understand Really What It Means”
  • Calling wokeness a buzzword is like calling pornography a buzzword. People may struggle to define it, and definitions vary a lot, but everyone knows it when they see it.

  • I didn't like Dune Part Two. I felt it was way too rushed, with all the emotion trod into the sand.
  • I felt the Geidi Prime stadium scene was an infra-red footage showoff first and foremost. I wondered why so much runtime went toward setting up

    Granted, I haven't read the books. Perhaps it's key to the story later, or illustrates something about the Harkonnens...

  • I'm just gonna share this...and if you go dank, it's your own fault!
  • The videos aren't super complex from an editing standpoint. It would be cool to prompt a generator with favourite scenes...

  • After more than a year, Denuvo vanishes from The Callisto Protocol
  • This is an interesting response. It makes me wonder whether the real risk of piracy to game publishers isn't so-called 'lost' sales, but having their control of the initial impressions window undermined by genuine critical reception*. Marketing efforts are seriously compromised unless they operate in an information void. Denuvo provides that void.

  • I'd like to think AI is now capable of filling the void.

    Too dank removed from memes.lemmy
  • <Slams door open> IT'S REMINDER TIME :DDDD

    Muslim isn't a race. Practice of Islam is not an immutable feature.

  • Real French
  • I need conclusive Lemmy anecdata on a key question: is Quebecois French considered antiquated by continental (both European and African) French speakers? Are the differences subtle or not?

  • E-waste from trashed electric devices is piling up and recycling isn't keeping pace, UN says
  • In addition to reducing the volume of waste being created

    That will amount to a cynical coercion of the public in some way. I'm being forced to work for free in the form of sorting waste at point of disposal, and worrying about fines, all so that industry's line can continue going up. So that plastics production growth can largely continue on trend. Paper and plastic recycling are like cycling up the hill of environmental conservation in top gear. Loads of pedal revolutions that (ultimately) only slow the rate of decline back down the hill.

    If the product has a high energy cost involved in new production, that's when industry actually does the right thing. Aluminum is a great example. Generous deposit schemes are found all over the world. They're voluntary and well managed. But paper and plastic are cheap to manufacture by comparison, and the costs can be passed through to the consumer, so industry and government conspire to do just that (the mechanisms of which are then greenwashed).

  • Threads is automatically hiding comments that mention Pixelfed
  • You need more training in corporate risk management, grasshopper! AP/AtProto isn't a revenue opportunity, it's a potential front for which they'll need to have a battle-ready product and brand. Ever heard the saying 'engagement is containment'?

  • Time to delete your Glassdoor account
  • I question whether a lot of people even need sync.

    Passwords in general don't change for long periods of time. Really the only rationale for doing so is confirmed or suspected compromise (two-factor processes make this rarer still). It doesn't strike me that an almost permanently static input merits regular synchronization.

    The alternative is doing a one-off manual sync (copy and paste) between two local DBs, then locally moving one of them to the target device. Zero online connectivity has to dramatically reduce attack surface. Is five minutes' maintenance per year an unacceptable convenience penalty to pay?

  • Users ditch Glassdoor, stunned by site adding real names without consent
  • Sound advice, but if this article is any indication, corporate web2 now anticipates garbage. The junk presumably gets backfilled with their best attempt at quality data where it can be found. It true, it invites potential contributors to think carefully about their opsec.

  • Safe Graphics Mode after updates [KDE neon]

    I installed ~300 updates via Discover a couple of nights ago. I sensed something had gone amiss when Firefox both crashed and wouldn't resume after I opened a brand new session (ie. no tab reloads). I got the crash report box, then a subsequent crash.

    Full reboot. Up comes the login screen. The password field cursor is unresponsive to keyboard input, and isn't blinking. The virtual keyboard button isn't responsive either, despite my having mouse movement. I then reboot, this time via recovery mode, which loads the crappy fallback graphics driver with only 1024*768 resolution available. This persists after package repair attempts and sudo apt autoremove to clear disk space. My AMDGPU drivers don't seem to be functional at all.

    var/log/apt/term.log (below) reveals the latest driver versions are 24.x. Presumably these were upgraded during the update, prior to which I was on an earlier working version? That's all I can think of.

    What other logs should I consult for troubleshooting? Would driver reversions work? How do I get back to a normal display? Your input is appreciated!

    15 years has passed - it's time for a new mattress

    Any buying tips? Does it need to be any more complicated than lying on a few at the showroom? Of course I know mattresses aren't lifetime purchases; my main concern is avoiding paying good money for something I'll hate in a few years.

    I'm prepared to spend up to US$1500. I want a spring coil mattress. I don't want memory foam. Please lend me your shopping experiences!
