World News@quokk.au•Spain ramps up criticism of Israel, US, defying Trump threats
5·3 days agoSpain is a sovereign nation; using the word “defiance” implies Spain owes anything to the U.S., when Spain has every right to conduct its foreign policy as it sees fit.

Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ@lemmy.dbzer0.com•Stremio is getting on my nervesEnglish
3·4 days agoNote 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.

7·4 days agoI will mention I did renew the real debrid subscription which seems fishy - I used to use TorrentioRD+ but it doesn’t recognise my subscription so I can only use Torrentio.
Torrentio is much more reliable with Real-Debrid than without; did you get your API key from Real-Debrid and add it while configuring Torrentio?
Even still, Torrentio can at times be unreliable, as other free debrid indexers can also be. An alternate option to use alongside or instead of Torrentio is the paid Debridio service ($10 a year).

World News@lemmy.world•Russia sending second ship with oil to Cuba amid US blockadeEnglish
92·7 days agoAgreed; 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.

Also, while it’s good to help users in switching to Linux when requested, users shouldn’t feel unwelcome here simply for using Windows.

13·8 days agoPosting Threadiverse URLs gets posts automatically shadowbanned on Reddit, unfortunately; people should go into more detail when recommending Lemmy or Piefed though. People jump in expecting a 1:1 Reddit experience, and end up getting confused by federation and giving up.

192·8 days agoLemmy 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.

It seems like that page might not be taking into account income from other platforms though; it estimates the annual budget as being €4,000, despite the official monthly budget (as listed on their Mastodon blog as of last September) being €1,700.
