Most of the countries that are deciding to join recently are getting absolutely eviscerated by the dollar when it comes to foreign exchange, they all have very weak currencies because the dollar is just so incredibly strong relative to everywhere else.
It’s a lot more complicated than just that, but that definitely seems to be a catalyst at the moment
If it were me I’d set up Google Alerts In all the major languages and use Google translate to generate the search keywords. You will get the alerts in your email but you can also output results to RSS, and then you can use an RSS aggregator like Polite Pol to make them into a single feed, which you could then get shown in Telegram or a similar messaging app as individual links
Thailand is full of western roid-heads and they have a decent online presence. Vigorous Steve on YouTube is a good starting point
Judas goat! Judas goat! Judas goat!
They voted for Selena Meyer too
They’re probably just leveraging the good will they have as the plucky underdog. I personally found the app clunky and that the videos loaded really slowly, but I don’t blame them for offering a lifetime subscription.
Either that, or it’s just price anchoring and they weren’t expecting anyone to spend $300, but it made the other options look cheaper
None. I use Premiumize with Plex for fast downloads and a Netflix style interface once I have the content. And IPTV if I want to watch movie channels
I use EPG dot best. They’re an EPG provider who give you lots of detailed information about each channel and show/movie and nice clean logos and everything.
You can filter large EPG files from your IPTV provider into much smaller ones that only include the channels you actually watch. The smaller EPG file means that the app uses less RAM on my Nvidia Shield too
It’s not free and it’s kinda finicky to set up, with a weird workflow, but it works well once that’s done
You can’t stopp the plopp
If an app asks me to rate it, or checks what my rating is going to be before sending me to either a feedback form or Google Play, depending on my response, then it instantly gets a 1 star review
SmartTube is some of the greatest software ever made
I think all these other countries only care about the fact that India has a burgeoning middle class and is going to become the next consumption led market. Everyone has too much of their own stuff to deal with at the moment, but they love the idea of huge cohort of new customers over the coming decades, regardless of who’s in charge
Not to take away from your post, which is nuanced and interesting. But I think the buck stops at the economics for most
Heathrow is literally 1984, I hate the place
Truly the pimp of the year
The only way I have found to get reliable IPTV services is to post on local Facebook groups. There is invariably a few middle-aged guys who can’t spell properly and who can you “mate” who will know which service works best in your area and be resellers of said service. A few 24-hour trials and you can usually figure out what suits you best.
What’s the story with bad/unfunny comics and Lemmy? 90% of them are pretty terrible and I don’t recognise the art style, Reddit stuff was/is much better but there shouldn’t be a difference unless the migration is all nerds with no sense of humour, of course, but that would be presumptuous. There’s certainly a lot of geeky content compared to Reddit
Blood and Oil is a fascinating book about the rise of MBS. They literally had a guy on the inside in Twitter in California who would feed them back information like this. Definitely not a boring book, it reads like a thriller more often than not
Surely this is satire?
