  • ‘RIP Streameast’: Largest Illicit Sports Streamer Is Shut Down

    Jump

  • Interesting quote at the bottom of the article:

    A 2023 study found that 11% of U.S. adults (roughly 23 million) pirated content in the previous year. The NFL says it does not track illegal viewership of its games, though the league believes that new legal avenues to consume its broadcasts—such as direct-to-consumer streaming services, in addition to traditional TV packages—are lowering the reliance on unauthorized methods.

    I can't decide if 11% is higher or lower than I expected, but also insightful that the NFL in particular doesn't seem to think this affects their bottom line much? Hard to believe since a sports streaming package can easily be triple digits and only go up year after year.

  • What are some games with absolutely fantastic soundtracks?

  • All the Astro Bot games have phenomenal soundtracks, Kenneth CM Young (of MediaMolecule) is brilliant and knows how to write really catchy earworms. Really got stuck listening to Trapped in Time and Papa Tree.

  • getting TV remotes to work over HDMI CEC is still untested

    Ah, bummer, but I'm glad a project like this exists and is getting some new life breathed into it. Can't say I'm a huge fan of the toolbar at the top but I'm sure ricing will be fun on a platform like this.

  • Your explanation of federation that it "works like email" will be misunderstood

    Jump

  • Exactly this. The second you utter the word "federation" you can see people's eyes glaze over in real time. The email explainer is good but it really needs to be a short sentence and that's it

  • TIL: Why News Was So Neutral in the '50s & '60s

    Jump

  • Generated with ai because I also didn't watch lol:

    Short Summary

    1. In the 1950s and 60s, there was a belief in a golden age of news where information was delivered without political bias, shaped by cultural, technological, and political forces.
    2. The rise of television, figures like Joe McCarthy and 60s radicals, and even Ronald Reagan played a role in shaping the news landscape.
    3. The aftermath of World War II highlighted the power of propaganda and the need for responsible news delivery.
    4. Government sought to regulate news organizations through acts like the Radio Act of 1927 and the Fairness Doctrine in 1949 to ensure programming was in the public interest.
    5. During the era of television news, objectivity was valued, with news programs not expected to make money and a doctrine of social responsibility guiding ethical journalism.
    6. The New York Times set high standards for objectivity, with television news aiming to emulate this model.
    7. Clips from the era showed commentators presenting opposing viewpoints without bias or emotionally loaded language, allowing the audience to form their own opinions.
    8. Anchors like Walter Cronkite maintained impartiality even when reporting on controversial topics like the election results of pro-segregation candidate George Wallace.
    9. Journalism in the 60s and 70s shifted towards a more active approach, with journalists encouraged to call out lies and take sides based on facts.
    10. By the end of the 60s, there was a noticeable shift towards more activism-driven content in newspapers like The New York Times, departing from earlier eras where objectivity was considered the highest journalistic goal.

  • Popular Pirate Site Animeflix Shuts Down 'Voluntarily' * TorrentFreak

    Jump

  • The site also has an active Discord community of around 35k members, who actively participate in discussions, art competitions, even a chess tournament.

    lulz, but this is probably a big reason why this happened, discord servers pay our pretty well and profiting with this stuff probably got some legal teams a little pissy
