‘RIP Streameast’: Largest Illicit Sports Streamer Is Shut Down in c/piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com
[–] kryllic@programming.dev 14 points 7 months ago (4 children)

Interesting quote at the bottom of the article:

A 2023 study found that 11% of U.S. adults (roughly 23 million) pirated content in the previous year. The NFL says it does not track illegal viewership of its games, though the league believes that new legal avenues to consume its broadcasts—such as direct-to-consumer streaming services, in addition to traditional TV packages—are lowering the reliance on unauthorized methods.

I can't decide if 11% is higher or lower than I expected, but also insightful that the NFL in particular doesn't seem to think this affects their bottom line much? Hard to believe since a sports streaming package can easily be triple digits and only go up year after year.

A coalition of media companies and Egyptian authorities announced Wednesday that they’d taken down live sports-focused piracy network Streameast, which they said had hosted 1.6 billion visits across 80 associated domains over the past year.

What are some games with absolutely fantastic soundtracks? in c/patientgamers@sh.itjust.works

All the Astro Bot games have phenomenal soundtracks, Kenneth CM Young (of MediaMolecule) is brilliant and knows how to write really catchy earworms. Really got stuck listening to Trapped in Time and Papa Tree.

Reddit is rolling out age verification in the UK in c/privacy@programming.dev
[–] kryllic@programming.dev 0 points 9 months ago

The age verification process is performed by Persona, a third-party provider that won’t have access to users’ Reddit data or retain photos for longer than seven days. Reddit says it also won’t have access to uploaded photos, and that it will only store birthdates and verification statuses so that users don’t need to re-verify their account.

Uh huh. You'd be surprised how many people still think once a snap on Snapchat is deleted, it's gone forever and no one can view it again. Wonder how long it will take before the "oops a data leak revealed all the stuff we said we weren't going to retain wasn't properly deleted and now anyone with a magnet link can grab it" event happens.

I understand the convenience, but I don't like it. All my data is on someone else's computer, and I have to enable activity trackers for the privilege of accessing my data? Heck nah.

KDE's Android TV alternative, Plasma Bigscreen, rises from the dead with a better UI in c/opensource@programming.dev

getting TV remotes to work over HDMI CEC is still untested

Ah, bummer, but I'm glad a project like this exists and is getting some new life breathed into it. Can't say I'm a huge fan of the toolbar at the top but I'm sure ricing will be fun on a platform like this.

Not sure what the use case is here but Open Broadcaster Software (OBS) works great.

Progressive video streaming misconfigured? (programming.dev)

Aeharding, Voyager app dev, released a tool showing if an instance has improperly configured progressive streaming, which seems to be the source of images and videos sometimes not loading properly on third-party apps. This instance shows up with an error with this tool.

This post is just to raise awareness of this tool to admins and if it was something that can/should be investigated? Has anyone else had the issues described on this page? I can say I've had images and videos fail to load from time to time.

Cloudflare's recent blog regarding polyfill shows that Cloudflare never authorized Polyfill to use their name in their product (blog.cloudflare.com)

Contrary to what is stated on the polyfill.io website, Cloudflare has never recommended the polyfill.io service or authorized their use of Cloudflare’s name on their website. We have asked them to remove the false statement, and they have, so far, ignored our requests. This is yet another warning sign that they cannot be trusted.

I must be living under a rock because this is the first I've heard of USB 4. Is it just a speed bump or does it affect the type of data that can be transferred? In my experience I've had issues using a usb 2.0 flash drive to use a live image of a Linux iso in a 3.1 port
