This just screams greed IMO.

Sony (Aniplex), the owner of Funimation (and new owner of Crunchyroll), who actually produced and holds the rights to most of Funimation's library via their partnership with a Japan-based subsidiary, are choosing to revoke your access to your media.

Funny thing is they merged in 2021, not sure why it was an issue running the two separate sites until now.

Haven't (yet) looked at the code repo to see if it already takes into account my suggestion:

Would be nice to also utilize account age, ghosting (liked posts, followed communities etc) and instance reputation (fediseer) so dormant accounts and troll/farming/repost bots a la Reddit are recognized and handled as appropriate

The ideal solution would probably be data driven, thanks to the existing Lemmy database it should be possible... would be an absolutely massive undertaking I think though.

Noticed that flag on several occasions but never knew what it was called - thanks for sharing!

That was the cleanest and most curated movie site I have ever come across, honestly a big loss to have them gone. Consistent naming scheme, amazing torrent video quality (unlike low bitrate YTS), icons/logos to show what medium the rip was from. Literal gold

The way Proton works is really fascinating, and also requires a ton of effort from Valve. Recently found out most games are "unsupported" because they require proprietary Windows Media Foundation libraries that can't be redistributed on the Deck - so Valve actually modifies the source game assets to no longer depend on the proprietary libraries.

These games often run flawlessly with Proton GE, a community version which includes the proprietary libraries (but must be installed via Desktop mode, thankfully there is an app on the Discover store that does this automatically)

I'm glad to hear that the main author of Proton-GE is joining forces with the various non-Steam Linux game launchers to make game compatibility even more seamless for the wider Linux user base in general!

Not a fix, but a reminder that you can curate your own feed on Lemmy instead of browsing /all

Most communities also have the same users making the posts, so you could consider blocking the users too

One decade old Kingston Datatraveler, one newer cheap Datatraveler, and a whole bunch of SATA SSDs inside usb3 enclosures

I'd have suggested the Clicks keyboard case, but it doesn't slide out + supported iPhones are the 14 and up.

I don't own one though, only heard of it.

I'm mostly in the same boat with supporting the creators, however I don't really like Google to be honest. I end up supporting creators outside the platform, such as via Patreon or by watching on Nebula. Most of my YT consumption is done via NewPipe, Piped and Freetube

There's a little part of me that likes the fact that YouTube is burning a hole in Google's finances tbh lol

Instead of equipping a superhero cape, you just ask your hand the question: @willya@lemmyf.uk?

I don't usually swear on Lemmy, but fuck Unity.

I don't think any studio could predict they'd need to throw out 6 years work on a full game rewrite, nearing completion, but abruptly rendered financially unfeasible because of a greedy engine developer...

Hope this studio is able to keep going.

Got lucky with one from a 3rd party but it doesn't turn off the screen when I close the cover like my old phone case did. I assume that had a chip in it or there's a software setting I've not found.

Samsung was pretty much one of the only manufacturers installing hall sensors under the display to detect the magnets in their flip cases. I think they stopped including that sensor around the time they got rid of the hardware home button. Their latest tablets still do include a case sensor AFAIK, not sure if it's the same hall effect one or something else though.

As a side note I miss those cases with the small window, was pretty cool to be able to just flip the lid, see the time, then stuff the phone away
