Stop right there criminal scum!

Didn’t think of that, thank you! But nope, that doesn’t make a difference. In Firefox, I get a stream like this and the drop in resolution and bitrate is definitely noticeable.

I took that screenshot on my 4K monitor.

Some people just don’t notice low resolution, don’t take this as a personal offence. :D

I didn’t even know they had a Smart TV app. What TV are you using?

I always get so hyped up when the intro music plays, it’s amazing!

The content is worth getting paid for. The app just isn’t. :D

It probably works fine if you use an Apple device, although people have run into the aged-restricted content not playing on MacOS, too.

Maybe you’re not noticing the drop in resolution? They’re definitely not delivering their content in UHD, but they might be streaming proper 1080p if you have an HDCP-capable monitor, I don’t know.

For me, it’s a really bad experience. They’re just giving me 480p in Firefox, regardless of the operating system used.

okcupid was amazing back then, I wrote with so many interesting people and had unique and lengthy conversations. Another platform fucked up by capitalism and greed.

it was pretty clear that these apps were dogshit designed to steal information while keeping you engaged with bots

They haven’t always been, though. I remember the good old times of okcupid - they had a system of interests you could enter and then they linked those interests to all of the users in their database. It was so effective to find people listening to the same music, playing the same games…

They removed the whole thing after they got bought out, removing one of the biggest features that made the platform unique. It explains why there are still a lot of people around recommending platforms like Tinder and okcupid, they remember their positive experiences and maybe even found a partner. But those times are long over.

The worst enshittification is making male people pay for replying to messages. That is just vile.

Can’t wait to get fresh baguette here in Rostock over the next few decades.

One of the first things my new boss did was to cancel the daily standup meetings that were enforced by the previous management. God, what a great decision. I’m finally getting shit done instead of having to talk and endure bullshit every day.

Use knockd and iptables, gone are the fucking bots.

I have two Xeon E5-2697A v4’s in my system. 32 cores. My machine runs the latest AAA titles like Indiana Jones on maximum settings flawlessly.

Microsoft: “Just throw it away, bro.” Bless Lord Gaben for making Proton so good, I can run 95% of my Steam library on Linux, with better performance.

Just copy C:/Program Files (x86)/Steam/steamapps/common/ to /home/yourname/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/ and Steam will recognize those games are already present when you try to download them.

Run some games in higher resolution/framerate with GoldHen Cheats Manager (especially on PS4 Pro). And you can play games like P.T., which was removed from storefronts a while ago.

Also it will release fumes that you don’t want near your food.

This. Especially since they still have the worst hinge designs on notebooks I’ve ever seen and they have continued to build them so shoddily for years. It must be deliberate at this point.

Same here. It’s not so bad. It get’s really bad when I have to work on older PHP5 projects, though. Or shudder WordPress projects without OOP.
