Can't you disable it in settings? On android there is an option to toggle off sponsored shortcuts.
I agree they shouldn't force it on but at least with minimal effort and if it's really annoying it's easy to disable.
Streaming services should be required to provide free access where they are allowed to put ads at the beginning and only once or twice depending length and not cutting a scene. And maybe free access could be limited to a number of episodes.
Anyway my point is be real, some people won't pay because they can't or because you don't want to subscribe to 10 streaming sites. Especially when sometimes there is only one anime, tv shows you are interested in. So real solutions should be found if companies really wants to fight piracy...
For Tv shows piracy has never been so low as when Netflix had reasonable price and was the only one. It offered a real alternative and people where willing to pay for it.
I also believe crunchyroll do a lot of good as it has a quasi monopoly but it's starting to erode with Netflix and Disney starting to get animes. 😕
Agree. If it was a perfect world then governments would fund and contribute to open source project to make sure there are good free solution to keep your data private (at least from being collected and sold to some random companies) and make sure they won't go down.
Sadly I don't think it's really happening...
I'm not sure what to think. Overall it was OK but main character not realizing his strength is offsetting. I know it probably aims to add some comic but for me it's just dumb and not especially funny. If there is a second season it's likely I won't watch it.
I will be off topic as what I am going to suggest is not open source... But I myself looked for a long time what was the best free windows file manager and I settled up on FreeCommander.
By default UI is not nice but it's possible to make it nice enough.
I use this one mainly because : you can use it for free, dual pan, it remembers tab history between sessions, tabs can be renamed and colored. Hope someone will suggest a good open source one but I don't think there is any :-/
+1 that's what I do at home with my desktop and what is IMHO the best solution.
Yet on vacation I use an old android box with Android Tv (SlimTv) and I have to say it's nice to have a dedicated interface allowing use of a remote.
IMHO I am not an expert but Mullvad seems the best (from what I read from others) and I would stick with it. I am using it and happy with it. I also appreciate that their monthly price do not change depending on how many months you subscribe and that there is no bullshit discount for the first x months.
You could also look at Proton VPN if you need port forwarding.
About SurfShark don't have much opinion !
I don't understand the down votes
=> I always read up and down votes as a tool to flag valuable posts. It feels like down vote on this one is about agreement with the news?
I will probably try it but I am not expecting much. I wasn't a fan of the old one. Not to offense anyone but I felt like it was dumb.
Still it looks like a lot of people are hyped about it so maybe I will be surprised !
Communities in left drawer are alphabetically sorted by default. Yet the sort is based on names and not on displayed names. Is there some option that I didn't found to change it? Or could it be fixed or added as an option? I know I could sort manually but it's not ideal when adding new communities.
For instance episode_discussion@ani.social use "Anime episode discussions" as display name. When I search for my anime subscribed communities I often forget it as the sort looks like it's wrong with what boost display as community name. 😕
I guess she hadn't a phone on her or she was off grid? It would have been nice if article mentioned it. Without that info I have doubts about whether the story is true or not... 🤔
What I find annoying is for what you occasionally use.
For instance I started to listen more frequently to a songs service (which I was bypassing ads) and so I thought to officially subscribe. When I looked at prices I didn't because it was too costly and knowing me I could stop anyday to use it. Price for one was above 10 when for two it was something like 14 so 7 per person and which I would have been ok to pay. Good for me because I stopped to listen some weeks after and it has beek years I didn't really use it.
I think, especially for video and audio media consumption, you should pay a global amount and it should be split between services you used. Split should be based on usage.
Perfect thanks. I looked at your profil and your old comments to determine if you were Kevin. Maybe it would have been obvious for a lot of people but I really thought : "hey is it really nova's dev on lemmy? That would be so cool for Lemmy !"
Not to be annoying but you should edit to make it clear you are not Kevin Barry and you are just quoting.
On my work computer I don't have admin rights but still I could install Firefox with no problems. It installed itself for local user only.
About that you can check this new extension : https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/chrome-mask/
Yet I feel it's better to avoid using it and report web compatibility problems. Always masking user agent could led to believe only supporting chrome is sufficient.
Using MyExpenses which is perfect to let you track your bank accounts.
It's the only app I found which let you reconcile operations with bank statement.
What I do is using synching to sync my files on my PC when I am at home. You could also manually back it up on a cloud drive.
Anyway I think it's best practice to store somewhere recovery codes.
Please make option for displaying community icon works in compact mode. I much prefer this mode but the lack of icons make it difficult to quickly identify community.
Three months after the sudden demise of RARBG numerous well known torrent sites appear to have benefited from a surprise gap in the market.
For those interested in public torrent usage. No surprise, after RARBG closed it's traffic has been mostly transfered to Torrent Galaxy.
