Par for the course for Beehaw, they’ve been known to be overbearing and controlling, apparently even when it isn’t any of their business. PTB.

I think @goat@sh.itjust.works has always been like this but it seems in the past he was able to hide it and make himself seem more genuine and less reactionary to others. Though now it seems the mask has fully come off. PTB for sure.

@imaqtpie@sh.itjust.works @kersploosh@sh.itjust.works @InEnduringGrowStrong@sh.itjust.works I’m not sure if this level of power-tripping or inter-intstance drama breaks any rules but just wanted to let you guys know that this is a thing since it’s a community on your instance which was the source of the drama and bannings.

PTB for sure, this is blatant bad-jacketing and their behavior in this thread is also extremely hostile.

No, they haven’t, this is one of the weirdest things to lie about since you know anyone can go to https://lemmy.ml/instances and see the blocked section, and see that sh.itjust.works is not blocked.

I heard that they’re probably going to be using the Google Play store and probably similar modules to play protect to enforce this. So the question becomes will disabling the Google Play store bypass this? It outright kills play protect dialogue as well as its app disabling capability as a whole since play protect is part of Google Play store.

I don’t see why the name should be different I mean Seinfeld is both the name of a show and the name of a person. I think it’s fine the way it is :)

Have you tried using Tor yet, also potentially Mullvad Browser with a VPN since Mullvad’s Browser has similar anti-fingerprinting and anti-tracking capabilities but for use outside the Tor Network.

Also there is a lot of disinformation surrounding hardware based bans on Websites, typically pushed as fearmongering by Reddit’s moderators. Websites on modern secure browsers can’t read your hardware identifiers because modern secure web browsers are Sandboxed. Of course this doesn’t apply to Reddit’s mobile app so don’t use that ever really.

Also you need to use a different email since they check for matching emails.

I usually have one with me because the place I work at keeps the AC very cold and it can get uncomfortable. Though I don’t usually wear it outside when it’s warm.

People still think it’s weird though that I’m wearing a sweater even though in the building it can be as cold as 3°C and while that feels nice at first when you get in from the heat, it gets old after about 2 hours.

No I meant Norse Hell. And if it’s too cold for you, that’s kind of the point.

Hell

Corporations want people to act like their EULAs are written in blood when they’re just ramblings of an entitled child on the playground. What are you going to do? Ban them again?

This is definitely giving me Twilight Princess vibes.

I’m Agender so close enough. Also unfortunately my favorite pie isn’t on here. It’s peach pie.

This is probably one of the best ones out there, it’s based on a fork of Prism which has authlib support and FTB modpack support, and also has the Microsoft account DRM removed so you can use it without a valid Microsoft account.

Netflix’s short stint with FMV / chooe-your-own adventure games highlights a perfect case of difficult preservation - all the runtimes are closed source apps, all the data is streamed from a server, and all the logic is held on the server.

Add to that the fact that a lot of these types of non-standard content have low engagement and interest. Which is what ultimately makes preservation and piracy harder. If you had a lot of interest it would be difficult but not impossible to recreate some of the interactive elements around them, and extract/decrypt the video content. But without interest it’s more difficult. Also ironically the lack of interest is why these things are being sunsetted in the first place. It’s kind of a perfect storm in that they are hard to preserve and there is also low interest in preserving them as well.

And if war breaks out and many countries are crippled (think post-nuclear apocalypse) that’ll help that case too. Not saying it will happen but it could.

Very happy to be a member here. I remember when I joined here it was shortly after Lemmy.world’s piracy feud and wanted to continue participating in and seeing !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com ironically this ended up being the server I participated on most both in terms of posts and comments. Hard to believe it’s been 2 years since I joined here.

Hmm I see. Kind of a shame really that they stopped using it, would make it super easy to seed content just by putting the torrent in your torrent client. I wonder why they couldn’t have the videos encoded the new way but still use torrenting to seed. Oh well hopefully someone makes a standalone seeding program or plugin in the future.
