Heh. We’ve convinced our kids that Paw Patrol and Cocomelon “don’t work on our TV”. All I had to do was let her select it a few times and then kill the network connection when she wasn’t looking. After that, we marked them as “disliked” in Netflix and now they never appear.
It may not last, but I’m doing what I can :-)
Snowfl has some pretty good results (note the addition of the keyword complete). But you can do a lot better than Paw Patrol! “Bluey”, “The Owl House”, “Hilda”, and “Kipo and the age of the Wonderbeasts” are all far better choices for kids and your own sanity ;-)
Mozilla’s VPN is just reselling Mullvad, so you can support Mozilla and use Mullvad at the same time if you like.
Ahh, yeah that’s about what I remember. Too messy for me. This sounds like it’d be better as an actual package (apt/pacman) then.
Well that looks promising. Last time I looked into it, I was put off by a shell script that called sudo, but if it’s bound to a Flatpak, I can work with that.
I did just that. It’s not about security. It’s about messing with my machine’s setup. I don’t want to run a bunch of rando commands that might mess with how my actual package manager manages my system.
Oh really? Boo.
Retrodeck looks good, but the recommended install instructions were just too nutty for me: curl https://... | bash is not ok.
I think Emudeck is available as a Flatpak, so you should be able to install it on your desktop too.
yt-dlp might be able to do the job. It has options for you to specify credentials too.
It’s funny, before this, I was just going to buy a legit copy and play it on my Deck (I have a Switch, but prefer the Deck)
Now, fuck those guys. If I play at all, it’ll be on a pirated copy.
The easiest way to confirm this would be:
I’ll give that a try, thanks!
Yeah that’s what I figured, but I have no idea how to adjust the frame rate when extracting the audio stream :-(
I always wondered about this. I have the same TV series as local MP4 files: one with English audio, and another with Greek. I thought I could just extract the audio tracks and use them to build an MKV file with multiple audio, but it always ended up with an audio sync error. One track would always be in sync at the beginning, but 20min in could be out of sync by as much as 5seconds.
How do people build multi-audio files if the audio tracks aren’t part of the original source?
It’s a powerful video player in Linuxland.
Oh! Good to know. I guess that’s there to prevent people from reaping 2 years worth of development for a 1 year fee. That still seems reasonable to me.
Yeah that was basically the sentiment of the developer community when JetBrains announced the change. Thankfully they heeded the screaming and fixed their model. I’ve been using JetBrains tools for around 10 years now and they continue to impress. I can’t recommend them enough.
JetBrains ran aground of this years ago when they introduced a subscription model for their (excellent) software. People (rightly) lost their fricking minds when they heard that if they cancelled their subscription, they’d lose the ability to continue using the software they’d already paid for.
So JetBrains went back and reworked their system so that a cancelled subscription would continue to have the rights to install all the software that existed up to the day of cancellation. Effectively meaning that if v3 came out the day before you cancelled, you can still install and use v3 10 years later.
Nebula might be the answer for you. A low annual fee means every video you watch gives a portion of that fee to the artist.
