Not sure what the best solution for sports is, but the simplest, most reliable option for streaming is a debrid subscription used in conjunction with Stremio on MacOS, Vidi on Apple TV, and Stremio Lite or Vidi on iOS.

While there’s free websites that aggregate streaming servers for movies and tv shows, their unreliability arguably makes debrid reliability worth the added cost. Here’s a debrid service pricing chart.

We need to follow Brazil’s lead and imprison fascists, not reward them for insurrection.

American law is as stable as a house of cards when half the country would rather base the law on presumptions of what 18th century white supremacists might have preferred to the needs of Americans in the 21st century…

You and your transphobic perspective are the problem, not the other way around. Just as there’s no place in civilized society for racists or bigots, there’s no place for those who go out of their way to deliberately put people down for expressing who they are.

Good thing they don’t believe in evolution either, or they would see the political Darwinism of geriatric MAGA voters not only being less likely to survive COVID, but also less likely to take any protective measures against it whatsoever.

Not only is Nintendo raising prices, but cutting jobs like that shows that they’re far too focused on profit over anything else.

Unfortunately not Starlink: Battle for Atlas, which was one of the games I was hoping would have improved support implemented before Nintendo took down Yuzu and Ryujinx. There’s the Steam version, but being able to play as Fox makes it feel like the Star Fox game that the Switch is missing.

While I originally did get the game on my Switch, I’d much rather play it with the rest of my games on the Steam Deck.

I imagine it’ll run much better on the Switch 2, given how well it runs on my Steam Deck, though I imagine that it would take a lot of adjustment to get used to using joystick controls versus the touchpad controls of the Steam Deck. Perhaps however the new ‘mouse-like controls’ work will be more helpful in that regard, but I can’t imagine even that would match the precision of a trackpad.

Don’t intend on supporting Nintendo’s crazy price increases myself, and will only get a Switch 2 if a way to hardware mod it becomes available, but I think it’s a bit ironic that the one non-first party game someone would specifically want to play on the Switch is also the one that not only never goes on sale, but also got a price increase.

Accidentally deleted my original comment, so I rewrote it; not sure why other people copied it verbatim.

Generative AI data center energy usage is environmentally wasteful and will just raise the cost of energy for regular consumers.

Nintendo opting to forgo selling retro games piecemeal and instead expecting consumers to rent access to them in perpetuity is an anti-consumer move.

I have no problem paying for games when they’re sold at affordable, reasonable prices, so until that’s the case for Nintendo’s library, better to just emulate as much of it as possible.

And after they’ve deported so many people who’ve come to the country to work hard and pay the taxes that American billionaires aren’t, when employers can’t find anyone to fill jobs, they’ll just spin up the lie of young people not wanting to work, rather than recognize the contributions of hardworking immigrants to American society.

James Borghesani, a spokesperson for the Suffolk County DA, said in a statement that they were “dismayed and surprised” when Martell-Lebron was detained. He said their office asked ICE to return Martell-Lebron.

I’m sure they’ll drop him right back off at the courthouse if all the kindhearted prosecutors do is ask nicely. /s

In most cases, most release groups already fine tune encoding settings towards various balances of file size and quality, so the best option is to decide on a set of release group whose standards meet your needs and just use the files as they come without further modification.

Applying lossy compression to a video that’s already had lossy compression applied to it degrades it unnecessarily, so if you’re going to compress it yourself, it’s best to start with the remux, aka the original media file.

I’d personally recommend releases from members of the qxr group and Vyndros.

I guess when their teeth start falling out they’ll just say that it’s god’s will for them to have less teeth. 🙄

RT is a Russian propaganda outlet, full stop.

The problem is that Apple’s extensive marketing of Apple Intelligence has led to expectations that far surpass what the final product is likely to be.

Most people think generative AI is magic coming out of a hat, so even if Apple delivers at the same level as other companies, people will feel like they’ve been misled.

That’s a symptom of Google holding a monopoly over search results.

Real reporting will always cost more to produce than AI-generated propaganda, and if the former has a paywall and the latter doesn’t, people will inevitably end up reading the news that takes the least effort to produce, to the detriment of actual news reporting.

Requiring Google to both carry such content and pay for it at least ensures that it has an even footing with websites seeking to push propaganda instead.
