  • Motorola phones are hijacking your Amazon app [Video]

    Jump

  • Motorola primarily makes budget phones, mostly because they're full of malware like this. Same reason some companies will offer phones and TVs completely free.

    Unfortunately privacy is expensive. And the GOS phone will be as well.

  • AFAIK, Peertube is your only option.

  • Is Plex really Self Hosting?

    Jump

  • Plex specifically is the worst of both though. You have to host all of your own data, and pay Plex for the privilege, but they maintain control of virtually everything you can do with it.

  • New York City mayor Zohran Mamdani has collected $9m (£6.6m) in unpaid fines from Amazon, which has been violating clean air regulations by leaving engines running on its parked vehicles

  • They have A LOT of them but really only ~20% of their fleet. Hopefully this will encourage them to accelerate that transition. There's also "Amazon Flex" which hires contractors like Uber.

  • The problem is they can't control Chromebooks. Give them a Linux laptop with a purposeful distro that doesn't allow them to play Minecraft. Boom, problem solved.

  • Create an album and a text box will appear at the top of the album. I use this often when I do basically anything interesting.

  • I used this service a while back where you could order Amazon items through a proxy with XMR and they would deliver it to a nearby Amazon mailbox. Unfortunately they had cameras at those mailboxes which meant they got my face and my plates. I mean theoretically I could wear a mask and ride my bike but I guess I felt like that was too far...

  • Haha I usually get "oh, do you work here?" And I say something along the lines of "no, that's not how email addresses work" 😅

  • You can actually do this inside of Immich without hosting another service.

  • Share your awkward and unpleasant interactions resulting from privacy practices

    Jump

  • I have these awkward interactions pretty much every day. Answering questions just leads to more boring questions with the same answers over and over and then that's followed by insults so at this point I usually just make up some sort of boring lie.

  • Just moving one creator off the biggest platform accomplishes nothing.

    We've already discussed several times precisely how it does. If you don't agree, that's fine, but you can stop repeating the same nonsense over and over.

    And I don’t see a universe where Big Tech is going to change its’ tune either unfortunately.

    Not as long as people like you continue to advocate against it.

    Basically every podcast is available on Spotify and Apple Podcasts, some of the major ones also on YouTube. How’s that different from streaming?

    Because they're also available without them. And YouTube does not have podcasts.

    And I’m saying there’s no point unless it’s a coordinated effort. A single creator being unavailable on Twitch changes nothing, except that single streamer’s visibility

    Brother you can't just start at 5 million. Everything starts at one. Fortunately there are already hundreds, but none of them as influential as the mayor of NYC.

    Their website runs fine on Firefox

    I don't care about their website. I want a client where I click a button and the game launches.

    Heroic even provides a unifying launcher for GOG

    It only works like 10% of the time. While Steam works 99%. Even when it works it doesn't support a bunch of features that GOG desktop does.

    Are you saying the convenience of the more proprietary platform is keeping you from using the less proprietary one?

    No I'm saying one supports free operating systems and the other doesn't.

    Jump

  • if whatever alternative platform he uses (which you proposed could be his own website) can’t facilitate a bunch of other creators moving over, then his effort is useless against the whole issue of Twitch

    ...no? It isn't. He doesn't have to support anyone else in order to not support Twitch.

    Other than that, I would recommend checking out the Owncast directory to see how a federated streaming network can work. Or even look at the current state of podcasts and just apply that logic to streaming.

    People don’t want to have to use 10 different platforms to follow the stuff they’re interested in. They want their one platform to show most of the content

    The only reason that doesn't already exist is because Big Tech doesn't want it to. They could all turn on Federation and make that a reality tomorrow. Again, I refer you to The Owncast directory to see what that future could look like.

    I fully agree, but it doesn’t help unless there’s enough content “somewhere else”

    Once again, chicken and egg. There will never be content somewhere else until someone puts it there.

    GOG doesn’t suck at all, and sees much smaller sales numbers than Steam

    That's because they only have DRM-free content, which means they have ~1\1000th of Steam's library, if that.

    Personally I don't buy from them because they don't support Linux/Proton, even though they totally could. So I have to choose between free games or a free OS.
