Racism

I’m a fan of Cloudstream.

I don’t have a deck but I do have a laptop with very similar specs and it has severe issues with performance. It isn’t much better on my partner’s GTX 1080 either.

GrooveShark, for me, particularly thrived on early Android as Tinyshark. It was probably one of the first ways I remember actively listening to whatever music I wanted to; no algorithm outside of the list of “most popular songs”.

Kinda sad they didn’t go further with the human theme but I guess “don’t theme ny apps” thing that Gnome has going on ruins that.

SmartTube, my go-to way to watch, is having issues again today too. I presume it is to make people subscribe to YouTube premium but my first thought was to use Nebula instead.

Its also sadly maintained by transphobic weirdos

Paramount, Sony, 20th Century Fox, Disney, Universal, Nordisk, and Warner Brothers are all part of this “Rights Alliance” group. Each of them have used, or plan to use, generative AI going forward - which, by design, is unable to abide by copyright since it is trained on whatever they can get their hands on.

This is yet more “one rule for them and one rule for everyone else” from leaches that are desperate to profit from the work of others and punish anyone who won’t pay into their state-enforced protection racket.

DNS over HTTPS is your best bet because they can’t Man In The Middle and replace it (DNS Poison) like good old DNS. They will still be able to see the IP addresses you are connecting to unless you proxy those connections. nativeproxy uses Chromium’s stack so it is much harder to detect. There are UI frontends for it if you prefer but I’ve never used them. ProtonVPN also has a stealth protocol that I’ve heard is good, though I don’t know too much about it.

Good on you for trying to get around it. That kind of curiosity is a great way to develop your lateral thinking skills. You didn’t ask for a lecture and people giving you one should go back to stack overflow comments. If you want to take the risks of it, that is up to you and you are likely to fuck up. That being said, you aren’t the only person likely go get in trouble if you fuck up and, unlike you, IT will depend on their job financially. If you do it well enough and make sure you don’t get caught by someone seeing your screen or blagging around the school that you did it, that won’t be an issue.

IT departments also read comments in threads like this to find the current trends of how students are trying to get around their web blockers so keep in mind that you will need to keep your skills up to date.

gtk3-classic still doesn’t work properly on Wayland and I doubt it will ever be fixed so I include WAYLAND_DISPLAY=0 in each shortcut file to force them into xwayland.

Misogyny and transphobia, as per usual. The build instructions used “he” and bug reports and pull requests have been denied and given edgy responses.

I don’t think I will ever feel comfortable learning NixOS since they accepted a sponsorship from Anduril until there was community backlash. Anduril performs violent border survailence for the US government and are responsible for a huge amount of death and suffering.

Dating apps have never been my thing but I think this would be a good fediverse project, maybe linked with something like matrix.

Can I point out the strange parallel between this and the storyline in The Boys this week? I won’t expand on it for spoilers but Jesus Christ.
