YouTube: 5 ads the norm now?
  • I have an LG 55C8 and was able to root it (somebody figured that out last year or so). I don't know if you still can root your model, but I'd look into it! There's a patched YouTube app which incorporates ad block and even sponsor block! It single handedly prevented me from buying an Android box and skipping the TV's smart features altogether.

  • British tourist sentenced to three months in Dubai jail for ‘insulting’ airport staff
  • Okay, I don't agree with what you said at all. But for argument's sake, how do you justify that they arbitrarily can raise a fine to a substantial prison sentence? That doesn't even make sense, not even by your logic. You just said what you think is just, two months of his wage.

    So what did he do between insulting somebody and appealing in court that was so bad? Appealing in the first place?

  • Which YouTuber still creates high-quality videos to this day?
  • You're doing it right playing all kinds of fighting games! Also, I'm right there with you not putting the time in like I used to. With IV, I had every version on PC and PS3 and I don't even want to know how many hours I sunk into that game. Nowadays I barely play video games anymore, period. I bought Street Fighter 6 and started with Deejay. It's very fun, but I didn't stick with it :) part of becoming a grown-up, I suppose.

  • When I was a kid my friend had a Super Nintendo and we used to play each other in SSF2, Mortal Kombat 2 and Killer Instinct. We then got into Mame and other CPS2 and KI specific emulators to play the arcade versions at home. This was way before I knew anything about actually playing the game, frame data and all.

    I then took a break and really actually got into Fighting games as a typical '09er with Street Fighter IV. I played Bison and was semi-competent (A rank in Ultra, but never went to tournaments or anything).

    Then came SF5 and I really didn't like it. Stopped playing again, but always kept watching EVO and other big tournaments.

    So I'd say SF4 series is my favorite. I never really touched 3d or anime fighters. I tried getting into MVC3 when it released but that was just sensory overload for me lol How about you? :)

  • She scolds me about not buying anything in the bar we hang at
  • I read a couple of answers here, but I thought I'd give my 2 cents anyway. I mostly agree with the others that said it's not a big deal and seems to be a principle of hers.

    I saw that you're not from the US. In Germany, there's an unwritten rule that you never bring any kind of food or beverage to a restaurant. We have other fun stuff like most restaurants not giving out free water or charging you for using the toilet if you haven't bought anything.

    I could see her being upset with you if you drank your own water and ate your own food in the restaurant. But, again, that's only from my German point of view.

  • Hi, I'm the other FGC member on Lemmy. Have my upvote :)

    I like your list, too! TheoryFighter is a bit hard on the ears with that constant, droning heavy metal background noise, though. But that has been there from the start, so..

  • YSK: Browsing "ALL" at work might get you pulled into an office, even with NSFW off.
  • I'm visiting other companies for work every now and then.

    If they are in a fancy new steel-and-concrete office building with open space offices, chances are that cell reception is very bad. I once was in an office where I'm certain they had installed cell blockers on the toilets.

  • I just looked into it briefly and you're right, there seems to have been some development:

    Translation: Criminal liability of the downloader

    However, users who download this data also infringe copyrights if it is obvious to a reasonable and fair-minded person that the public presentation (the offer on the servers of the one-click hoster) is made without the permission of the actual rights holder. This is certainly the case if, for example, a film is offered before its theatrical release. However, the obviousness should also be given after the theatrical release, since no one can expect a film production company to make its films available free of charge on servers of one-click hosts.

    Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)

    It also states that downloaders are currently not being pursued, because it is too difficult to prove.

  • *Permanently Deleted*
  • Very much depends on the country, though. In Germany for example, it is illegal to actively share media (so upload via torrent), but it's "legal" (ie, not fineable) to stream or download via one-click-hosters.

  • Mit Naziparolen und Hitlergruß: Gruppe in Sachsen überfällt Paar in Wohnung und attackiert Polizei
  • Ja, kann man so klein reden. Aber meine Herren, wenn ich in meiner eigenen Wohnung überfallen und zusammengeschlagen werde und dann auch noch meine Frau oder Freundin attackiert wird... Ich will hoffen, dass er ein hohes Strafmaß bekommt. Wird sicherlich nicht so hoch ausfallen, wie ich mir das wünsche. Der kann eigentlich für länger weg, oder braucht den noch jemand draußen?

    Hey guys! Just a quick snapshot to generate some content in here :) I'm really glad that this community found a new home over here on Lemmy as well. I hope to see many interesting posts and cool pics!

    Is there a better way to hide posts other than voting or showing comments?

    Right now, if I want to hide a post, I do one of two things: I either upvote the post (because I feel guilty downvoting just for hiding it) or click on the comments, forcing loading more data, even if I don't care for the comments of a meme picture, for instance.

    In both cases I have to refresh the whole front page, putting even more unnecessary load on the server. Reddit third party Apps used to have a simple hide function that would solve the issue.

    Is this unwanted to kind of force participation? I don't want to up- or downvote posts I feel indifferent about.

    Can't Lemmy just copy most subreddit's content?

    Most stuff on reddit is aggregated content anyway (or even reposted). Can't somebody write a script to get the top contributions of the day and "crosspost" them to a suitable sub on lemmy? This would work better for certain content than for another, but stuff like funny memes would be no problem, right? I'm not looking at cat videos from Youtube and shitposts for the deep discussion in the comments.
