That's more complicated than Stremio to setup though, and still requires you to download the movie/show before watching, correct? Stremio just requires adding Torrentio in the app and linking your RD account once - then it's easy times.

Listen, I think Jellyfish is great - but it really is a horse's for courses scenario. The Stremio + Torrentio + RD triad just works for a lot of people that need a wife proof solution (pardon the sexism) and don't want to store all this content.

Out of interest, does Jellyfish have ability to list Netflix, HBO catalogues? That's a convenient add-on in Stremio where you can essentially browse a specific streaming service's catalogue, or at least their most popular items.

Stremio works on android TV. I use the Stremio + RD + Torrentio setup, it's great for essentially mimicking the Netflix experience in that you can sit down and browse movies/series, watch trailers then just select something to watch right then and there. It's intuitive so my family can use it easily.

If you mainly watch movies on your PC/laptop then there may not be that much material gain from the above setup - but it is a good option if wanting to fully replace the Netflix-esque experience.

Yeah, I was being a bit flippant but it's true that FOSS is more compatible with open science. To be honest nothing I use anymore is paid. My testing software, analysis software and modelling software is all FOSS and developed by Academics in my area and I honestly don't see an advantage to paid versions. Shit, we even use Inkscape to edit figures.

Generally there are free trials or FOSS alternatives for most academic programs because academics are stingey af.

Cursory search showed Spin Works might suit your needs.

They offer PayPal.

Order one and find out.

Russia is still making things, it's just difficult for them to process payments within their countries borders. No reason a reseller in EU would have the same issues.

The question is whether right now is the best time to support Russian businesses.

If you have your heart set on getting one then also consider buying second hand.

You're talking about pirating the pirates though. RD is so cheap compared to a streaming subscription and essentially free given the amount of content it provides. Stremio is user friendly enough for anyone to use. Just pay for the extra subs.

In that case perhaps a Frederique Constant? Citizen owned but Swiss made. Fair few of the watch reviewers are raving about their new range.

Miyoo/Anbernic present a much better option.

It's not the copyright law that is lax in these countries, but rather the level of monitoring and enforcement required by ISPs. For most ISPs they gain nothing by sending anti-piracy letters to customers in the absence of any particular law that mandates ISPs enforce anti-piracy. Instead they may find customers leave and go to a competitor. The most they do is the bare minimum required by Govt, usually blocking certain domains and only sending letters if a third party has done the hard work of identifying the IP address of a pirate. When studios sue ISPs they generally lose, or go for settlements (see BMG vs Cox). ISPs have spent a lot of time and money lobbying to be left out of piracy enforcement.

You could compare it to underage drinking, a bar's main incentive to not serve underage customers is to avoid large fines for doing so. If those fines didn't exist one might assume many bars would be more lax on checking ID. A bar might argue that if underage drinking is illegal then that's a matter between the drinker and the police, it's not the bar's job to spend money on security to check patron IDs. This is essentially what ISPs have argued.

Very good. I really like the bezel design on this, and congrats on whatever life event triggered this purchase.

Bit misleading. While Nigeria may be poorer than many western nations, it is the 2nd richest African nation, ahead of SA even, and is ranked 47 out of 173 regarding wealth.

Further, people living in poverty while the elite enjoy a gilded life is not an Africa-centric narrative.

Read their post mate, they said they would be replying with common VPNs and wanted people to up/down vote and comment on each one.

Anything that isn't Mullvad will get downvoted because many here have brought over the Reddit hivemind mentality. Many of the downvoted VPS ITT are completely safe and fine, and actually offer greater functionality than Mullvad, but you can't deny Mullvad are the top when it comes to privacy - not even using a username/email plus allowing btc payment.

I used Mullvad, found them great for everything and would be my only VPN if they were big enough to facilitate streaming via other countries. Due to smaller number of servers it isn't possible to use a lot of streaming services with them...I found this out when o/s and needing to VPN into my home country to access my geo-locked streaming service.

It's about Jamaican sprinters who miss out on qualifying for the Olympics and then become bobsledders to get to the Winter Olympics.

Me too. I pay to publish mine, better believe I send free pdfs.

Many Profs or labs will have a website where the paper is hosted too. It used to be that you could host on ResearchGate but publishers stamp that out routinely.

If you use Uber Eats or their equivalents you deserve to pay through the teeth. They have been fucking restaurants and their drivers/riders for years, only right they now fuck the customers.

Plenty of food options delivered already using their own staff who, for the most part, were covered under existing labour laws. You honestly need cold McDonalds delivered to your house on a rainy night by a guy on a pushbike who is getting paid fuck all?

If you support these companies it means supporting their abhorrent labour practices, in which case I hope you tear up your own employment contract and ask your boss to cut your wages and move your desk outside. We didn't get where we are today by being individualistic little shits, it was workers united in Unions that won us the rights we enjoy, and with those rights comes the responsibility not to sit and watch other workers get fucked but rather rather standup and support them.
