I recently tried streamio on firestick, the app worked great in terms of ui and responsiveness but the services it connected to never worked. 5 was on it by default and each allowed me to browse movies and series but when i attempted to watch them it returned an error or buffered forever. I also tried with and without a vpn to see if that affected it. Personally the way that still works best for me is using a browser such as sideloading firefox and then visiting the websites using a vpn like you would on a laptop

Edit: while im here, sideload the newpipe apk. Amazing frontend for youtube

It was shit anyway. Never got it in the first place. If anything its just reassured me that online games cannot be trusted and will eventually bait and switch

Edit: especially if the rights are owned by a publisher

Mainly micro transactions. Though its not as bad as other games i don’t agree with them being in games that cost money. If they are going to be added i think the game should be free. Its mainly a critique of online gaming in its current state.

The gameplay was not my kind of game but that’s more of a personal preference than it being a bad game. I watched a ton of gameplay and had friends stream it to me and it looked very dull. He came across a lot of bugs while playing too such as clipping through the map forcing him to restart the entire mission.

I know but id prefer it not being there to begin with as its a slippery slope. Its much more fun to earn loot than grind for coins or pay for them to get the skin.

@Shape4985@lemmy.ml avatar

I understand. I just prefer them to not be there at all. Ill only buy extra in a game if its in the form of a dlc that adds great content for example the following dlc for dying light or liberty city stories for GTA 4. Buying weapons and cosmetic feels cringe to me

Newpipe is getting updates on fdroid again and seem like will be getting updates for the foreseeable future as the issue stopping it is solved. (f-droid.org)

Also on an unrelated note anyway to remove live from your subscribed channels update field ? Some channels are filling it with live so i have to really scroll down to see my video feeds and can’t find a setting to switch it off. Newpipe didn’t used to add live in your what’s new feed of subscribed channels, related pic .

Im genuinely so thankful for this project, the creator and maintainers. You are doing the lords work.

Windows 11 Start menu ads are now rolling out to everyone (www.theverge.com)

Microsoft is starting to enable ads inside the Start menu on Windows 11 for all users. After testing these briefly with Windows Insiders earlier this month, Microsoft has started to distribute update KB5036980 to Windows 11 users this week, which includes “recommendations” for apps from the Microsoft Store in the Start menu....

Damn this is hard. I keep java script disabled by default so its hard to say anything good. I begrudgingly have to whitelist websites i need that cant run without it.

Shape4985,
@Shape4985@lemmy.ml avatar

Thats true. It is more to do with code execution than the language itself.

Deleted discord recently because of the ads. Glad I did as iv been looking for reason to delete it for a while.

Hopefully ublock, piped, invidious and newpipe can keep successfully working. Not had a problem with them so far

Shaun of the dead has so many jokes in that its hard to catch them all. There is some good YouTube videos that also explain them in case you missed any.

Reader mode in browsers is great for this situation. Firefox has one for both desktop and mobile. I think brave does too

Sad to see ads in so many places. I hate it. If an add is shown too much or its too invasive I’ll never get that product out of spite

Signal is a good alternatives as you can group call and screen share (no audio), share images and videos etc. Messages are saved locally on devices unless a timer is set on the chat

BONES/ Surrender Dorothy. he’s gained a lot more listeners over the past few years so more people are discovering his music

My secondary school had a card system based on behavior. If you got in troubled 3 times that semester you had to go to the “trainee” lunch line which had really long lines and less variety of food. You was also restricted from areas of the school at lunch like IT suite, music room and library.
