I don’t know about unbound so I can’t really compare… OpenNic is not run by for-profit corporations, which I think is a good thing.

Opennic should be the default DNS of everybody!

I would love to self host a real debrid service where i can control what i pre-download using the “my library” feature, something similar to the *arr suite but only using the stremio interface.

All the vegans and vegetarians I’ve met in real life were chill dudes and dudettes. One was an engineer and semi-pro skateboarder that was always making people feel good and happy. Another one was a solid rock climber always smiling.

I know more annoying people complaining about vegans, always grumpy and being proud of always eating meat. I also know this cool swing dance instructor girl who only eats meat, so it’s also good.

Meta’s unwillingness to be transparent or accountable with the performance issues and glitches is causing mass uncertainty.

That’s exactly what drove most of us from the platform. Apologists were telling me that it’s just because we are not paying customers.

Interesting to notice that the company acts the same way with its real paying customers!

I wouldn’t be surprised to learn that the mindset of companies in their private interactions is the same as their public interactions with users.

Is it actually ethically acceptable to control distribution of something that naturally shares itself?

Before computers, it actually required some energy to copy the content of a book. With computers now, the action of reading an ebook will actually copy it from the hard drive to the ram. If your book is on the cloud, there’s even more copying going on. It actually takes more efforts to erase temporary copies (ex: from local cache)!

Digital copying is not the same as physical copying.

My colleague built an ultrasound walking stick for his wife, but can’t even give units to the local sight-impaired community organization due to regulations… He’s given up on getting his design certified.

If i wanted to jump through complicated hoops, I’d try paid streaming services!

I’m a simple Hamming guy but will go Dolph-Chebyshev when things get serious.

Hehe, FFT stands for fast Fourier transform, a computational algorithm that approximates Fourier transforms in an efficient way. It’s used in digital signal processing.

This doctor is the best

I don’t know a lot about DNA, but i know about facial recognition.

Facial recognition is highly inaccurate. It would be easy for people from the same country to “match” at facial recognition despite being totally unrelated.

If “face generation from DNA” is only roughly accurate (ex: nose size or skin tone), then anybody from the same ethnic origin could be a match. Basically, the more you look like the “average person”, the more likely you would fit the generated face.

Doesn’t it sound a lot like technology-enabled profiling?

MacOS, you mean Unix with a wallpaper? While Unix is not Linux, BSD is open source so it’s nice!

From my early torrent days, we used to say that any torrent we dont seed back to at rast 1:1 is bad for the network (leeching). I can see why there is a desire to block StremIO clients, but if it was modified to see back to some ratio, it would be nicer.

As for debrid, it’s a bit too “centralised” for me still… I’ve read that it’s a major weak point in the system and that servers are often unavailable. That’s why i like the resilience of torrents. (Plus the sharing aspect. Sharing is caring!)

On Lemmy, whenever I use the “back” feature of my cell phone web browser, the feed reverts to the default filter. It’s probably a bug, but it prevents ne from clicking without fear that I’ll lose where i was in my doomscrolling…

I think it’s set up this way so buyers can’t get back to Sony to ask for a free replacement if the media can’t be used anymore.

Let’s say you buy a disk that contains a movie. You din’t buy the right to watch that movie forever, because if the disk breaks, you need to buy a new copy.

However, we could argue that this is just a symptom of a short industry… If my backpack breaks, even after 10 years, the company will replace it free of charge!

Ok… I like the interface of StremIO, which looks like a service aggregator (ie I can open the movie on a streaming service i have access to), but I don’t like the fact that I can’t pre-download and seed less popular files. It supports debrid services, but from the technical description, thesec seems to be leech-equivalent to seedboxes…

What would be a good drop -in replacement? Something that works on google TVs and is easy to maintain?

They could try to compensate the imbalance by explicitly asking for the lesser represented classes in the data… It’s an idea, not quite bad but not quite good either because of the problems you mentioned.

Didn’t you know? This cloud provider offers lead-free, gluten-free computing services without antibiotics! Also it’s not tested on animals!
