The end of movie-web
  • movie-web always seemed like such a sitting duck for takedowns like this. Any form of piracy that’s grabbing from a few centralized streaming servers is bound to be shut down.

    P2P torrents over a VPN is the most resilient way to do piracy.

    If we include the upcoming 2025 Crown Signia, Toyota has 10 different SUV models in the US
    1. Corolla Cross
    2. RAV4
    3. bZ4X
    4. Venza
    5. Highlander
    6. Grand Highlander
    7. 4Runner
    8. Land Cruiser
    9. Sequoia
    10. A Crown Signia crossover in 2025

    Does any other carmaker have this many SUVs/Crossovers being sold at the same time? Seems like so much overlap between them that I'm surprised it's profitable to do this, let alone to have to keep up regular refreshes/redesigns of 10 different models without them starting to look the same.

    Radicle: Open-Source, Peer-to-Peer, GitHub Alternative
  • Off the top of my head: with Forgejo, you alone have the burden of hosting your repo, which means if your repo becomes popular, you have to deal with the costs of all that traffic to it.

    The nice thing about the P2P/seeding aspect of Radicle is that anyone can clone your public repo and help seed it to others.

    I see that Forgejo is working on federation which should help distribute the load of hosting a repo, but that doesn't look to be completed yet

  • In case GitHub starts taking down yuzu repos, I recently came across Radicle. It's an open source, P2P GitHub alternative where repos are hosted and seeded on peoples locally running nodes

    Here's where you can get started: https://app.radicle.xyz/

    If anyone who has the repo wants to host it locally and then share the rad: id so others can help seed it, that would be great!

    Twitter front-end Nitter dies as Musk wins war against third-party services
  • @showroom7561@lemmy.ca and anyone else:

    If you want to follow Twitter accounts from Mastodon, there's a bridge called Bird.Makeup that still works and is building a workaround to this issue.

    I'm working on a Mastodon client called Agora that integrates this bridge into the search, so that if you search for "elonmusk@twitter.com" it automatically loads the bridged Mastodon version of the profile:

  • Bluesky and Mastodon users are having a fight that could shape the next generation of social media
  • Jack Dorsey doesn't "own" Blusky, he just gave them grant money in the beginning to kick things off, and is one of the board members.

    "Prior to the seed round, Bluesky's website described the company as a Public Benefit LLC owned by CEO Jay Graber and other Bluesky employees. Post-seed round, the company describes itself as a public-benefit C Corp."

    Countries where the police are unarmed
  • The dude in the video was subdued because he eventually just gave up and started running away. That’s luck, not training.

    Also, if someone threatens people’s lives with a knife, all bets are off and if the threat is neutralized by them getting shot, they brought that upon themselves.

    This super naive idealistic way of handling law enforcement is why Europe has such a problem with immigrant crime. You guys overcorrected from colonialism to whatever pansy shit you have now.

    Countries where the police are unarmed
  • Not arming police seems like a pretty stupid move to be honest.

    Even in parts of Europe without guns, if a criminal has a knife and is attacking people, are police supposed to just hide and wait for the actually armed SWAT-equivalent in that country to show up?

    Police are supposed to be equipped to deal with the most dangerous people, not arming them just sounds like it’s a job that only attracts foolish people.

    Lenovo bets its Motorola smartphone brand will be the third-biggest globally in 3 years
  • It would help to not have a complete mess of a naming scheme for their phones. It should be:

    Moto E: Budget/entry level Moto G: Mid-range Moto Edge/RAZR: Flagship phones

    There’s no need to confuse everything by adding 20 different versions of each tier with stylus/power/activ/whatever added to the name.
