You will need to install it on your Home network

I know but I believe in not paying a cent for anything (I am poor…

Cinestream is a add-on from Dexter to stremio, is analogue to Torrentio, but for http streams. Is a little buggy but sometimes covers what isn’t on Torrentio.

You don’t need to pay for nothing, unless if you’re in US. Stremio+Torrentio+Cinestream will cover Netflix.

Sorry I misunderstood.

A subscription to pretty much any streaming service gives you everything now.

You don’t have idea in how wrong you are in that statement. I have over than 100 albums on my library that never came out in streaming music and frequently I hear of something being putting down from them. It’s not true even to USA’s music.

Besides, paying £30 in Spotify where they use audio codecs with lose is just dumb. Deezer has everything it has and costs less than half of this.

I only don’t pirate indie games.

It’s funny to read that because in the global south (where I am) android is just the most used OS in cellphones.

If you want just to download it’s more easier to use qobuz or Deezer. Give a look in the music session in the community megathread in how to download from they.

You can install a RSS feed reader of your choice and put the news feed that you want. For example, you can add BBC tech feed, or any other newspaper. I can’t explain how to do it easily, you need to do some search

Man I would turn off the activity collect and erase it’s history in myaccount.google.com, besides do the same thing with anything else, like YouTube history. Bad things still show up, but you receive more things related to your subscriptions. When you receive bad things just hit the three points and go to “Don’t recommend this channel” (for me is more effective than “Don’t recommend content like that”).

That’s a very common YouTube complain and have a simple explanation: this alt-right folks are the top adversities on social media. They pay millions to Google to do this.

Laws can change and international market organisations fall, that’s my only point, and I don’t if know that, but there’s a war happening in Europe right now.

until there is Google

Google is not concerned in make open tech at all, see that shittest thing of all: ChromeOS. It’s a pain in the ass to install Linux apps there even it’s based on Gentoo Linux. If Google could close their things like Apple, it would do it. It’s just not the moment right now.

Until the law change. Until there is a UE.

And who would mandate and control such a requirement? And how would it be enforced? And why?

Big corps. By monetary power. For profit

The only reason Apple is locked down as it is, is that Apple as the only manufacturer has absolute control over architecture, hardware and software.

That’s the point: for monopolies, open source or open devices are a threat, since they permit to be competition. Companies that sticks with open solutions are still no fully developed monopolies, but keep in mind that for logistical reasons, it’s always goodfor profit to control a bigger fraction of the production.

Being open will always be a unique selling point by at least some competing companies

It will be like that as long there’s market for that companies to exist. But the numbers just show the monopolies going bigger.

so there will continue to be some, absent a dictatorship rigorously controlling the manufacture and sale of such devices. But I think not even China has managed to accomplish that.

China is actually a big place for open technology. First because a big amount of closed western tech is blocked there; second because a good share of their industry relies on coping that same blocked tech. There are less monopolies in there, something that they get from being in a country wherre the government is bigger than the companies. In the long-term, government dictatorship is actually a minor menace to people’s liberties than the monetary dictatorship, since governments have public faces, known in the common people, and are easier to fight against than the anonymous ghost of action market.

Open devices are an absolute necessity if you want research and technological progress.

I totally agree with you in that, but since when is that the will of corporations? They finance open tech as long that is more profitable and possible than control completely that tech. The MIT legal license was basically created for that very common way of doing business. Monopolies don’t need invocation.

And if the industry needs it, some of it will inevitably become available to citizens, too.

No if the people become more and more alienated from the industrial production, what is happening exponentially!

In conclusion: we are fucked as hell and cyberpunk dystopian future is coming around us!

I agree with you and I believe that is the other side of “immutable systems”, something that is much popular in OS discussion this days that no-one seems to see.

It’s a joke. I like Lil nas X, Resident, RATM (technically today’s), Bo Burnham… But good that it made you enter the best place in internet! 👍

Today’s music doesn’t worthy to be pirated.

Well, I’m just a broke college student in a country where the price of the dollar is a little… salty. My country is not like the EU either, so here it’s very difficult for someone to get caught for piracy, I only remember it personally with people who own piracy sites, and it’s still very uncommon, so I don’t have to worry about paying for VPN either. For me, relying on Seeders is no big deal, it’s very rare to see something that isn’t currently being seeded. This happens more with dubbed content (in my country’s language) and old movies. Still, most of these old movies are already in the public domain and can be seen on Youtube, and I don’t like dubbed content, I just watch animations like that, and that is something very common to be in http stream’s plugins (take a look in that, usually it fills the gap of Torrentio). So I prefer not to pay anything for now.

Never saw that on Win 10, maybe you should switch to it

In my opinion, piratary is not immoral at all. The human knowledge was built socially, it’s fruits should be shared socially.
