They’re talking about EXIF data. Almost all websites strip it automatically these days. Lemmy/Piefed included so, they’re worrying you over nothing fyi.

VLC isn’t lacking support for this. Are you sure your friend knows how to turn on subtitles?

I reserved 7 minutes after the option for 2nd wave went live, no follow-up email yet but glad I’ve not seen too many faulty hardware reports so far. Some people had a creaky left joystick afaik but not a widespread complaint.

I got fucking microwave steamed frozen veggies with no seasoning at all not even butter and if I didn’t eat the freezer burnt slop I wasn’t allowed to leave the table.

Trauma bonding hell yeah. 👊

I took my 3DS out of storage to revisit some games but I’m sad. I can’t play more than half an hour before my left thumb hurts too much and freezes up. Fuck getting old lol.

IMO they should pretend they never made those 3 steamers and try again. Full retcon.

Having throttle and engine timing on the steering column definitely throws people off. Funnily enough it was the first car I ever drove. As a child illegally and only in the empty church parking lot by his house, but still! Haha.

1921 Ford Model T - Grandpa used to restore them and taught me how to drive. He also had a Model A but I forget what year it was.

Wrong flavour of the same bad beliefs. It’s all so arbitrary.

So is the bleak desaturated look. Ew.

It’s always had issues. During the 4.X versions the app would crash constantly during playback on Windows.

I since moved to Linux, but I still use my solution to avoid future headaches.

Use https://web.stremio.com/ instead and set it to open in external player. In this case you can use any actually separate player you like since the website just barfs out a .m3u file after you choose something to watch. I have Firefox set to automatically open .m3u files in the mpv media player.

That way I avoid Stremio’s shitty unstable streaming service, player GUI, and its lack of HDR support.

I wish I got bonzi buddy instead of a virus that copy pasted itself into multiple directories on Win 98se, restoring itself whenever a copy got deleted. That was quite the challenge for 9 year old me to clean the family PC before mom got home from work. Limewire gets all the hate but most of mine came from Real Player! Little me thought Real Player software was legit because of their video codec I always saw anime rips using. No. Nope.

Pretty sure it is actually out of stock now.

Yeah it’s still thermal radiation, us being able to see it isn’t a disqualifier :p

Since the big sites like https://fmhy.net/ are going to get mentioned I’ll just post my current bookmarks that I actually visit and useful software.

Can see the sidebar of my emulation community for a bunch of treats but the two mains are:

I’m mostly direct downloading these days, but if you torrent learn how to open a port so you’re connectable. Look up “qbittorrent port forwarding guide” for example there’s a billion guides of there saying the same thing. If you’re American or some place that is aggressive against piracy be sure to also look up how to properly use a VPN with torrents so you don’t accidentally leak your IP during a connection hiccup. It happens but you can prevent it. If you happen to be Canadian just change to a pro pirate reseller ISP (Park Power and Teksavvy locally) and freely ignore the funny letters without wasting money on a VPN subscription.

For Direct Download (DDL) I like to use a Download Manager for multi part downloads especially like:

https://board.jdownloader.org/showthread.php?t=54725

DDL/Torrents for gaming:

https://cs.rin.ru/forum/ - They have an English sub-forum, and I find them the best resource for pirating games as a Linux user especially. Mainly because the uploads aren’t bundled into some damnable Windows installer like Fitgirl or DODI. They’re just a plain old 7z archive on the game files. You just add the game exe directly into whatever Proton/WINE front-end you prefer like Lutris, Faugus Launcher, etc and play.

https://dodi-repacks.site/ - I still use them sometimes, high community trust factor.

https://fitgirl-repacks.site/ - Also trust worthy, but their installers don’t play nice with WINE. Good for Windows users…still kinda dumb long install times for very little in bandwidth savings in return IMO.

For movies and TV look into Stremio and a debrid service. Basically a big cloud server that caches any media torrent people add to it and then you get direct download streams which are very reliable generally. No buffering even on 4K HDR Bluray rips so long as you have fast enough download bandwidth.

Guide for beginners: https://guides.viren070.me/stremio

https://www.stremio.com/

Debrid services I like:

https://www.premiumize.me/account - more expensive combo deal. It’s debrid, vpn, cloud storage, and a few other things all in one.

https://alldebrid.com/ - cheaper, only debrid and has free trial.

https://stremio-addons.net/addons - use these to add debrid service and more to Stremio.

Then my fave all in one site for everything (especially music) I use:

https://rutracker.org/forum/index.php

Annoyingly russian yes but use an auto website translator browser extension and make an account. It’s a gigantic traditional bulletin board piracy forum that’s very active, very old (2004), well moderated, and labyrinthine. Has everything that exists under the Sun on there. Even the cracked Linux versions of some specific paid software like Davinci Resolve Studio. It’s English friendly for the actual content you can find, almost all posts will include the English versions of stuff if it exists. You can’t post comments in English however with a few curt exceptions, just check the Rules post.

I can on piefed but it’s article small thumbnail instead, I think because it’s not a direct link ending in an image format.

That’s what we used to do in Canada until Philippines called us out on our bullshit very publicly. Good for them frankly.

I think it’s not so black and white but some sortvof uncomfortable gray. What I do know is that these guys like money more than they actually care about this.

I don’t have the impression that supporting xinput/directinput is a time consuming effort. Yeah extra buttons and trackpad wouldn’t work, so what? The community will make something long term for Linux/Windows I have no doubt, but this was an easily avoided L on good will PR.

Personally doesn’t matter much to me, I have 8bitdo controllers already. After owning Steam Deck for years now I really want the trackpads and gyro wherever possible.
