  After they killed spotube, people are going back to the old hacked Spotify, but since it’s not open it’s way more risky, and maybe that’s the intent, to make people scared of using them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Spotify fans threaten to return to piracy as music streamer introduces new face-scanning age checks in the UK⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  You should already be doing that anyways with the phantom artists scandal, thousands of fake artists made with AI so Spotify doesn’t have to pay real people.

  It’s definitely not a shitty UX, it’s dark patterns, deliberate made to confuse.

  And also very hot

  Real, I actually had to turn off google play protect to install a third party app because of how sensitive it was.

  I mean, he’s not wrong, plenty of pre-release games allow you to download before it’s out, then android users go and give it 1 star because the servers aren’t open yet.

  How about reading a bit instead of thinking you have it all figured out?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Gamers Bombard Visa & MasterCard With Emails and Calls Over Steam and itch.io Censorship⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  They won’t, since they only want to nag and feel superior for caring “real issues”.

  All consumer rights aren’t real issues but we still have them, SKG just wants the law to act on the companies clearly breaking it.

  They will go to gog next, genius, they also sell adult games since last year.

  Yeah it’s pretty good, you just can’t torrent with the free tier and sometimes it’s slow because a lot of people are using it.

  But it’s very useful for the short time I use it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Rule34 blocked the UK entirely rather than comply due to the new law.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s because some arguments against porn says the actors involved have it bad. Something that can’t happen in a drawing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Rule34 blocked the UK entirely rather than comply due to the new law.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  This is sadly the way to handle it, users of these places need to learn how to vpn instead of giving their private information for age verification online.

  Just goes to show how lost you are in your feminist supremacy bubble, that even leftist spaces like lemmy think this thing is creepy.

  This already happened in my country, Secret was an app got huge while I was finishing high school, an anonymous platform for people to confess private stuff, it rapidly became bully culture and libel central.

  Thanks for the info, I never stopped using the official app because newtype can’t cast to the tv, and I don’t have an Android one to install smart tube, it’s much older.

  How do you cast to your tv?

  Considering they also went after ryujinx that didn’t have a patreon only version for pre-builds, I guess they are pretty secure on getting that DRM circumvention thing.

  I actually got that kit from a friend as a kid, I used it all the time when playing at home, the fake analog was legit, and I think there’s a light on the magnifier too.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nexus Mods to Enforce Digital ID Age Checks Under UK and EU Laws⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m glad they aren’t just nuking every sexy mod from the site and chose to comply instead.

  Loverslab would’ve crashed from all the sign ups lol.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nexus Mods to Enforce Digital ID Age Checks Under UK and EU Laws⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You are moving the goalpost now, we know, but this is compliance, they either implement this, or blacklist the entire UK from accessing the site.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Meta said it supports proposals for an EU-wide age of digital adulthood, below which minors would need parental consent to use social media⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Of course they do, since small spaces like lemmy and each of it’s instances would have to implement some form of age verification too, making them either close down, or ban EU IPs like misskey does.
