zcd, w [Request] Remove ads from Duolingo?

Pihole

can,

Someday, but I need a device to run that on.

zcd,

You can run it on literally anything including a virtual machine, android tv box, old laptop from the trash…

can,

My current laptop might as well be from the trash lol. I do have old android devices but that seems inefficient especially with battery concerns. I do have an old android tv box I never got working. Maybe that’s something I’ll look into. Thanks.

Huh? How do you run PiHole on ATV?

Pulp,

Might as well use nextdns then

nicman24, w If all adblocks get deleted, would you still pirate?

i would just disable js

SomeBoyo, w [Request] Remove ads from Duolingo?

You might try a modded apk, but those can be sketchy at times

22rw,

Talking about modded apks, this one works for me:

bot had too much to drink below

Just keep scrolling

ryannathans, w Can Pirate's Bay be considered "safe" if it is used only for non-executable multimedia content?

Any media can contain exploits, for the most part if you stick to reputable uploaders you should do alright but it’s essentially an unavoidable problem. Keep your media player up to date

TheHobbyist, w If all adblocks get deleted, would you still pirate?

For people who pirate because they can’t afford the increasingly more expensive games, how does the removal of adblocks change anything?

I think they’re talking about ads on download pages making it more difficult to click the correct download button when pirating

Pulp,

Using those sites is just asking for trouble

Agreed

chicken, w So, Unity is charging game developers per video game install now...

Does this mean you can’t make free games with Unity anymore?

FractalsInfinite, (edited )

Nope, just means that you can’t make over 200,000 US yearly if it has over 200,000 downloads

Serdan,

Installs, not downloads.

vivadanang,

not without the fear that a sudden breakout hit results in installs you can’t pay for.

istdaslol, w Can Pirate's Bay be considered "safe" if it is used only for non-executable multimedia content?

If you are a bit paranoid download it into a safe box and re-encode the file.

Hey boss Unreal is eating some of our market shares, what should we do?

Boss: Isn’t obvious, we drive the company off the cliff. Duh

God executives are the dumbest mother fuckers

BruceTwarzen,

It's actually remarkable.

alignedchaos,

Not dumb, just selfish, contemptuous of their users, and willing to destroy anything they have legal rights to for a cash grab.

Serdan,

Same guy: kotaku.com/unity-john-riccitiello-monetization-mo…

Hindsight is 20/20, but maybe devs should have seen this coming 😑

SquishyPandaDev,

The problem, from what I understand, is that the fees apply retroactive. So your 2018 Unity game will now have to start paying

Serdan,

That’s my understanding as well. You could have a game on Steam that you haven’t even updated in years, and then you suddenly have to start paying for new installs from existing owners.

Actually, it’s potentially even worse. You could have a game that you released and then later removed from every storefront, but if people keep installing it, Unity will demand payment.

iHUNTcriminals, (edited ) w If all adblocks get deleted, would you still pirate?

It would just bring back street crime and physical boosting and robbery. Same thing for blocking porn… all the creepy 70/80/90s shit would come back…

theKalash,

I really hate ads, too. But I don’t think I would be turning to street crime because of them.

iHUNTcriminals, (edited )

Idk I guess I mean like boosted vendors. In 90s and early 00 I used to go to expos or even certain street vendors and they would have boosted or ripped movies and software.

And in terms of porn I mean sex spots scattered around cities and towns.

theKalash,

But why would this happen because of ads?

I don’t see this direct link between adblockers and being able to pirate stuff.

MalReynolds, w Can Pirate's Bay be considered "safe" if it is used only for non-executable multimedia content?
@MalReynolds@slrpnk.net avatar

It has to be executed to have any danger, so you’d need a zero day exploit for your media player, even then it should be contained at user level rather than system. I’ve not really heard of it happening, but it’s theoretically possible I guess, would take a really bad coding mistake. Keep your players updated and you should be fine.

hellequin67, (edited ) w [Request] Remove ads from Duolingo?

You can try a private DNS, easy to set up in Android and blocks ads in most apps and browsers

Libredns

Mullvaddns

can,

Are there downsides to using these?

hellequin67,

None that I can think.

They’re no slower from what I see on daily use and both are privacy focused.

WeirdGoesPro, w If all adblocks get deleted, would you still pirate?
@WeirdGoesPro@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

I haven’t used a tracker with ads in over a decade.

panmeek, w Separate qBittorent admin container?
@panmeek@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

I’m not sure if that’s what you mean but if you’re using docker compose there’s a variable called WEBUI_PORT

matey,

That just changes the port of the bundled UI; it doesn’t allow you to connect a UI to a separate client.

panmeek,
@panmeek@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

oops sorry my bad

JebanuusPisusII,

Do you want to have a single UI for multiple clients?

matey,

Other way around - I want to have multiple UIs for a single client.

Sina, (edited ) w A way to disable laugh tracks?

I don’t recommend doing this. The dialog is far worse with the awkward gaps of silence.

I remember watching a few short vids on Youtube where people were making claims that Friends is unfunny garbage without without the laugh track, but the truth is the awkward silences kill all jokes.

Nerd02,

Are you good, mate? Is it just my instance or this comment got posted four times within the span of 30 seconds?

gibson,

Two generals problem handled poorly by lemmy. User probably saw an error of some sort when trying to post, but it was actually posting correctly.

Sina,

It’s exactly this! I was using the mlem app on iOS & it gave me a “posting error” message, so I tried a few times before giving up!

I mean, there are still private, adfree trackers and things and I’ve been pirating before even Napster was a thing and the Internet was rife with malicious ads and popups. If anything, I’d pirate harder out of spite.
