  • Note that Debridio doesn’t work without a Debrid service; it exists merely as a paid alternative to Torrentio for when it’s congested with too many users at once. Doesn’t happen too often thankfully.

    I personally prefer how Torrentio formats results, but unreliability with the service has frustrated family members in the past (the point of using Stremio in the first place being to make torrenting as much like using Netflix as possible for non-techies) and made having an alternative useful, just in case.

    In reconfiguring Torrentio, make sure you uninstall it before reinstalling it, as it doesn’t overwrite it.







  • Agreed; Russia is a terrorist state that has committed atrocities in Ukraine, interfered in the affairs and territorial integrity of its neighbors, and denied its own citizens basic human rights.

    In this rare instance, however, its foreign policy goal of opposing U.S. foreign policy has the side benefit of disrupting one of Trump’s blatant violations of international law. Not because Russia itself cares for a second about international law, though.





  • Lemmy is like pre-2015 reddit

    I found it too focused on weird like, communist Linux-using privacy nerd sort of views, topics, and humor.

    For the sake of optics, the Lemmy developers should make an effort to disassociate .ml from Lemmy itself. They have every right to run their own instance as they see fit, but too many users are falsely associating Lemmy as a whole with .ml.

    Still, the average Reddit user is frustratingly more willing to put up with the platform’s enshittification than learn how to manage blocks on the Fediverse to tailor their feed to their liking.
