DuckStation recently changed to a source-available license that prohibits distributing modified versions of the software and prohibits commercial use. Before, it was GPLv3.

Also OpenOffice, Emby, Audacity, Android (AOSP) (soft forked to LineageOS and GrapheneOS, but no hard fork)

Reagan was known for being an actor who played with monkeys on camera before he became president.

Also Nixon, just, in general.

OLEDs don't burn in, they burn out, which is much worse, since you can't prevent it from happening by shifting static content around on the screen.

All OLEDs will eventually fail or look so bad that they become unusable.

My one holdover is YouTube. There's just no good replacement for it.

Even worse, Reddit itself has been getting infected with corporate AI-generated "recommendations"

This is one of the most obvious potential cases of purposeful sabatoge. They were probably bribed by other big businesses to destroy their reputation so people would stop using the site.

There's nothing businesses hate more than their workers having negotiating power, and wage transparency gives them more power than they had before. There's a reason why it's considered "rude" in the US to discuss wages with co-workers; I always make a point to discuss my wage with all of my co-workers, since it's illegal for businesses to prevent that discussion.

In most other countries, it's the norm to openly discuss your wages; unions are also more common in other countries. It's just standard toxic workplace cultures trying to prevent people from getting paid what they're worth, or god forbid, forming a union.

But digitizing does have some benefits, like bit-for-bit archival, usually by a "third party"

Could be TV, Movies, Video games, etc.

Looking for a DP to HDMI 2.1 that supports 4k120 with Freesync and the various HDR standards. Saw the PS196 was announced some while back, but can't find any converters that implement it.

Anyone know where I can find a converter, or even just the chip itself so I can build my own?

Authoritarian tendencies since the web is a bit too close to providing its users with freedom of speech.

Remember when Microsoft said Windows 10 will be the last version of Windows?

Basically what the title says. I've only played two games like this so far (Silent Hill 2 and OMORI) and am looking for more.

Could be games, ROM hacks, mods of existing games, etc.

EDIT: So many great suggestions! Getting a bit overwhelmed by how many there are, so I'm going to need to find a way to put this in some kind of list with an order to play the games in. By all means, keep 'em coming, though!

I have an OG Model F (pre IBM XT, but the same standard) and used to have a Pro Micro-based Soarer's converter before it died on me.

I'm looking for a replacement that can be both wired (either USB, PS/2, or AT) and wireless (either Bluetooth or via dongle). Soarer-style macros would be a nice-to-have, especially for the missing F11, F12, and Meta keys.

Does anything like that exist?

Wow. You just somehow accurately summed up the modern day result of late stage capitalism in one post. Nicely done

Been looking for a search engine that isn't plauged with SEO garbage every time I look for anything. Been using DDG for quite a long time now, and I'm starting to get dissatisfied with results. It seems like more and more results are just companies trying to make their way to the top of the search results instead of anything organic. It's even worse when I look for any kind of service or product.

Looking for as close to 100% organic results as possible.

Best Debrid service? (lemmy.sdf.org)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by refurbishedrefurbisher@lemmy.sdf.org to c/piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com

I've been using Real Debrid for about a year now, but there're a couple of things making me want to switch.

I like to share my account with a couple of friends. Real Debrid gave me a warning about banning my account if I use it concurrently with someone else.

Real Debrid no longer accepts emails from AnonAddy or Tutanota. I would much rather not have to give out any real contact info.

Looking for a comparable service that caches torrents from anyome who downloads it and provides a link premiumizing service. I would also like to be able to give out direct links for the purposes of using Syncplay.

Whatever I use must be compatible with Torrentio inside of Stremio.
