Eh, I won’t die over 20$, it’s due to something out of their control that anyone could have seen coming, and I’ve been quite the satisfied customer since I’ve been using Real-Debrid. I wouldn’t judge anyone for doing a chargeback, but I personally don’t really feel the urge to do so.

Bummer, I renewed my subscription for 6 months just two days ago.

I guess this’ll finally be an excuse for me to setup Jellyfin and the arr-stack. I really don’t mind too much (honestly I’d be fine just downloading torrents manually for whatever I want to watch) but my roommates really appreciated how easy to use Stremio is.

No one wants to eliminate fire trucks and ambulances in favour of bikes.

When people talk about “ending cars” they’re talking about private ownership of personal vehicles. It’s not necessary to address first responders because that’s not what anti-car people are talking about.

I’d say French press ≈ Linux Mint.

Intuitive, easy to use and maintain, but despite the lack of fuss still delivers great results.

I usually watch shows/movies I see recommended by people (either online or in real life) rather than stuff recommended by an algorithm, but that’s just me. Whenever I’ve tried algorithmically suggested TV or movies, it’s kinda been bad (which is surprising considering I love Spotify’s suggestions)

This is such an odd comment!

If you want pictures you could check out Stremio with the Torrentio addon, although I’d recommend also getting a Real-Debrid subscription for faster streaming.

If you’re interested but confused here’s a reddit thread with detailed instructions.

I definitely can understand it, but that isn’t mutually exclusive with me wishing people would take a second to check the community they’re commenting in.

I’ve never implied it was malice (suggesting closed-source software in a FOSS community is a pretty weak example in maliciousness even if on purpose!) And really I wouldn’t say I’m worked up, I just wanted to bring this up because I’ve noticed this type of thing happen across a couple FOSS communities on lemmy and maybe someone will see my original comment and be more mindful of it next time.

That’s for sure one of the bigger constraints possible, and one I’m most familiar with as my first language isn’t English. You can still usually find stuff though, although it might require private torrent trackers or Usenet.

Unless you have a specific constraint not mentioned in your post, it would probably just be a waste of time compared to just downloading an existing rip from a torrent site. Especially considering most stuff on Disney+ is fairly mainstream and should be easy to find.

Trying to rip from Disney rather than finding a source to download it would be more time-consuming and would likely end up with worse quality than what the various scene groups get out.

So far, out of the suggestions in the comments, the only ones that are FOSS and currently work with the latest versions of lemmy are Jerboa, Thunder, and Voyager. Liftoff and Eternity are also FOSS, but haven’t been updated since July and October respectively, so may have issues if your instance is running version 0.19+.

Boost and Sync are both closed source and I really wish people would stop recommending them in a community specifically for free and open-source software. I’m sure they’re good apps and I don’t begrudge devs making money from their work, but if they do I don’t want them getting free advertising in the comments of a FOSS-specific community.

I’ve never used Usenet for anything and just wanted to save other curious people the hassle of searching it up, thanks for bringing actual knowledge into this!

For anyone else who has never heard of Tabula Rasa, it’s a Usenet indexer.

I love how 90% of replies are recommending software that isn’t open-source.

In a vacuum, saying “it’s okay to be white” is fine.

Statements are never made in a vacuum, they’re made within society. They’re thus accompanied by context and realities, a ton of little nuances which all affect meaning.

In society, posting (or agreeing with someone posting) “it’s okay to be white” repeated multiple times is racist.

As per your last paragraph, who says we can only deal with one source of racism at a time? How does calling out racist dogwhistles negatively impact Jewish people or residents of Gaza?

Disabilities come in many shapes. For certain disabilities, sure a train/public transit might be inferior to cars.

However I’d say for a majority of cases, public transit is much more hospitable to disabled folks. Many disabilities make driving either impossible, massively impractical, or outright dangerous.

And for ad-free YouTube specifically on Android-based smartphones, LibreTube is my personal fav but there are plenty of other options such as NewPipe, Clipious, and YouTube Revanced.

Verdachtvalidierung (I don’t speak German I just translated “suspicion” and “validation” and made a compound word from that. Looks legit to me.)

I’ve been having this same issue on version 0.0.54 logged into lemmy.ca. Local or all loads fine, but subscribed only lets me load the first page of content.

If pasting into yt-dlp works for you, go ahead, but if you (or anyone reading) wants a more user-friendly experience, I recommend FreeTube for desktop and LibreTube for mobile.

Both these apps strip ads, respect your privacy, and have Sponsorblock built-in. You can import your subscriptions from YouTube via csv.

EDIT: Forgot to mention SmartTube for Android TV, which blocks ads and has Sponsorblock but is less privacy-respecting as you have to login to your YouTube account.

Google embraces open standards? Sure, but you’re missing two words there.
