I like it because of the convience but yeah it is basically leeching. At the same time, you can only watch stuff on-the-fly when it is seeded healthily say like 70+ seeders. So using stremio doesn't really hurt anyone ig
Dang this article and the comments on hackernews makes me feel I need to game more.
Only recently I have realised that gaming is indeed an addiction and that I need to stop playing them(wasn't successful yet). It's because during the times I've deeply immersed myself into games, I don't seem to pay attention to my other areas of my life. Now that I recall those times, I don't seem to remember any memorable event in my life in that time period. It's almost as if those years have been skipped in my life which is too bad. Hence I started to think gaming as a bad habit that needs stopping but haven't been able to do so. Hopefully one day.
I am glad that people are having different views on gaming and proposing a belief that it really isn't that bad to be really that immersed into the games.
I am kind of in the same boat as OP and I did come across Nextcloud. But how reliable is Nextcloud hosted by some other org/company/person? Aren't we running away from a company hosting our data to another company hosting our data?
I am trying to finally move from entirely depending on Google Photos to a proper backup strategy. I have my photos and videos downloaded from Google which are a mess right now but as long they're with me I am fine, at least for now.
So, what I have planned is 3 way backup with Mega Drive-Google Photos- Local storage. Local storage, I will start off with storing on a pendrive and my router has a usb port so will make use of it for time being.
I know my way of doing things is noobish for a piracy community (and in general too, I am kinda embarrassed as well sharing this "strategy" of mine). Hence I'm asking for suggestions to improve my strategy. Yeah, in the future I will move to HDDs and NAS but for time being I am starting out this way.
So how do you manage your personal media? Are there any noob-friendly tools/techniques you know which drastically improve my strategy?
Kinda shows how what's up has evolved over the years
What's up - WhatsApp sup - Sup
videos
How are they achieving this? Something can't be done with Lemmy due to load
This guy said something photoshop related in German and I hope it is not a photoshop
Giving a shout-out to communities where this more accurately belongs
Yeah all good I don't want to suspect the dev either but since there are bunch of alternatives available, I'd opt for them than this one. I loved how Connect was the first one to try and implement the swipe between posts feature. Hope it keep doing well in the future.
That's untrue I installed Connect and used it for 5min. Stayed only in app and didn't click on any third-party article link, here is the result: 47 trackers in 5 mins
I will install Connect again and see if it still gets detected on DuckDuckGo having hidden trackers.
Is there a possibility that DuckDuckGo got it wrong? Or is the Meta already trying to track users from threads which is present on fediverse? Latter seems unlikely but who knows.
I was using Connect until I have found that there are trackers(via DuckDuckGo app) in it from Facebook. Trackers are common in apps, but if there are options available which give same experience without trackers, I will choose those options.
How did we land on different "sitting too long is bad" videos on the same day. I came across this animated video which showed which parts of the body gets stressed when we sit too long this morning.
They aren't good too
All of them very low effort and unfunny
