Well if that argument works out for the studios, Oneida better get ready because I’ll be seeing them in court. After all, they made the spoons that I used to eat the ice cream that made me fat.

WB Discovery is still getting their cut from Westworld, Raised by Wolves, and a dozen or so others by licensing it out to The Roku Channel streaming service of all things. So those actors went from getting scraps from HBO Max to probably next to nothing from Roku. I don’t know if that’s worse than having the content completely removed or not considering Roku is like Pluto TV and airs things more like cable.
I don’t think Red is putting his foot too far into Hyde’s ass, he wrote a letter in support of his character to I can only assume was trying for a more lenient sentence.
Now, I am on the can we ban Threads train, I wasn’t at first because they hadn’t gotten involved in actually joining the rest of us, now they are and they’ve admitted they want all our information too, I just don’t want any part of that.

They’ve never met a piece of data they didn’t want to mine, have they?
I followed this from Ublock’s Reddit page, it’s working for now.
Current anti-adblock status: Latest fixed (ID: 462a8d5d)*
Please, remember these 3 steps:
Force update all your filter lists (click uBO icon > ⚙ Dashboard button > Filter lists pane > 🕘 Purge all caches > 🔃 Update now)
Turn off all other extensions AND browser’s built-in blockers
Remove all your current custom filters AND custom filter lists that you have enabled / added manually (Adguard lists…)
It might be quicker to make a backup of your config and restore to defaults before proceeding to step 1.Fixing anti-adblock can cause ads slipped. If you see any ads slipped, please report back the EXACT URL and your country when accessing the URL so volunteers are able to investigate.
The filter lists can be updated multiple times a day, so please always do step 1 before reporting.
- About the ID above, it’s the ID of YouTube’s script that’s used for anti-adblock, you can monitor it via this link: https://pastefy.app/G1Txv5su/raw (top to bottom is oldest to latest). It means that the current fix is matched with the script with corresponding ID.
If the latest ID (the last line) does not match the current one written above, it means YT has updated the new one and it might cause anti-adblock again. If it matches and you still get anti-adblock, kindly check the 3 steps above. Thank you.
I’ll send you to an older post, here.
It’s a hassle, but it works mostly, unless it’s textbooks or books made for the Indian market. Mobile read has info about the changes, here and here.
It basically involves installing an android emulator to windows and using old Kindle for Android apps as the workaround, but Amazon can stop that whenever they feel like it.
You don’t mention how they read these books, is it a Kindle e-ink device, a Fire Tablet, or some other way? I ask because the shitification has started, they have a new file format they deliver to devices that are capable of KFX. That’s anything made after the 1st Paperwhite e-ink Kindle. The new KFX file is not crackable with current NoDRM/DeDRM tools that can be found on GitHub.
As for FOSS, Koreader can be found on github and is installable on most Kobo devices as well as Remarkable devices if going with e-ink, and can be installed on android devices through F-Droid or manual install. Always read the install instructions to make sure you understand the install procedure on e-ink devices.
When all the big cable players started making their own streaming services, most of us knew they weren’t going to let their gravy train go. We know they want us to use the ad-tiers because Iger flat out said so because it makes them more money, and I’m still expecting contracts to be their next big idea, sign up for 2 years, get 1-year half-price. Meet new cable, same as the old cable. It’s following a similar playbook too with no ads to some ads and ever-increasing prices.
Disney’s Bob Iger openly said that he would prefer more people use the ad tier because it was more profitable.
I agree, there is nothing in the megathread they linked to, or I’m blind. But if you follow it through to the FMHY megathread there is some iptv stuff, but not providers or anything like what I believe you to be looking for.
Most good providers are very very private and most of their users are just as private. I have no leads but look forward to seeing if you turn anything up.
Mastodon also doesn’t feed you content from my understanding, you have to curate your feed yourself, and a lot of people don’t mind the algorithm of places like TwitterX and Facebook feeding them random stuff.
I don’t know if it still works, but I have a copy.
Put this in a base64 decoder and you’ll get the link to Mega with the apk and instruction files I downloaded a while back when Amazon changed to the unbreakable DRM.

I have been renaming files with filebot and then scraping the nfos, images, and posters with MediaElch for years and never had a problem.
I miss mostly anonymous people cracking games without running around screaming from the rafters about gremlins in their modems stealing their breakfast bars. I can’t believe most if not all Denuvo releases are now only cracked by this person.
I waffle on whether I should use my VPN or not with it.
Support your favourite artists directly. That wasn’t an option in the Napster days.
I like to have the older versions of songs before they “Remaster” and change them and if they stop selling everything but the remasters, it’s time to fire it up.

What function could Meta possibly need for this? Why would Instagram/Threads (Same policy it looks like) need your Credit Score? WTF?
I’d only touch this if the team behind Instander made an app for Threads and I’d still use fake info.
I’m a big fan of physical games, I want to own them, and play them even if the internet isn’t available, and this blocks that, I don’t want it. I don’t have a gaming PC anymore because I can buy a console cheaper, but if physical discs are gone, gaming PC’s allow for piracy so I can keep the games for as long as I want because I don’t see every future Xbox having backward compatibility.
What is the bottom line here? Is Youtube big enough to be allowed to publish full albums of Pink Floyd? Or does Youtube pay a dime to Universal so they are allowed to publish the audio content?
The short answer to both is likely, yes.
Google has a lot of money and can prolong court cases, you’ll notice most copyright bullies tend to go after the small fish so they can get a precedent before using it against the bigger fish. What protects them the most is that they have installed their copyright system, Content ID, which allows Universal to upload hashes for their content and it will then hunt for any video with that in it, at which point the automated system is designed to block the content or leave it up if that’s the publishers wants or monetize the content and send the money to the publisher.
My question is: If Youtube can go away Scot’s free with this, why can’t the fediverse? If we start to host massive video/audio content, what will happen to the fediverse?
The owner of those instances will likely be sued, if their server host doesn’t kick them to the curb first, probably both.
It’s what drove me to wrestling torrents, The WWE network was great, it had chapters, and the stuff was easy to find, then they sold it off to Peacock and stuff is hard to find, they have no chapters, they censored some of the old controversial stuff, it’s just a lesser experience than the old Network. I’m very interested to see how it’s integrated into Netflix, and if they move the US to Netflix when the Peacock deal is over.
