Most content (excluding their own) is not available in all regions due to licensing issues.

Actually, even including their own for some dumb reason. For instance, Paramount holds the rights to Star Trek, but there’s no way for me to stream some of the shows legally, because Paramount+ isn’t available where I live.

Which to me makes no sense. It’s just a freaking website, globally accessible, hosting content they own…

I have a Google Alert set up, so I get notified in case my name pops up on the web. A month after I joined a new company, I got an alert - turned out that their internal directory page was exposed to the public web. I was pretty livid - all this time I’d been maintaining good anonymity, looking up my name never returned anything meaningful on Google. So I complained to my boss about this, and he said it was actually a bug/misconfiguration - which they were already aware of, but didn’t bother fixing it because no one complained. I was super pissed and made it very clear that it was a violation of my privacy and I wanted it taken down ASAP. Thankfully my boss was understanding and got it fixed. Then I had to report the page to Google. It took a while, but it was finally gone from the search results.
Then it’ll probably shock you even more when you realise that this thing is hosted on Github, a site owned by Microsoft… :)

it is a stupidly simple working demo of DRM circumvention

A much more simpler method is to just use Streamfab. No need for nVidia, a second PC etc.

StreamFab Official Site | StreamFab Downloader

StreamFab offers streaming video download solutions that allow users to watch content from streaming platforms like Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+, etc. offline.

A better option, IMO, would be to create this community on retrolemmy.com - as the name implies, it’s a community centered around retro gaming and computing, so it’d be a more appropriate place for it. :)

Have you tried installing MTGO using Lutris? Apparently it works fine, but you’ll need some tweaks. The key is to use windowed mode, disable music and card animations:

Runner options: -Use the latest version of lutri-proton if it’s not the default. -Use windowed (virtual desktop) mode and the display resolution of whatever device you are playing on. This was the biggest fix of most problems for me with stuff related to proper rendering of windows. -All else is default from Lutris install

System options: -Uncheck restrict number of cores -Disable desktop effects -All else is default from Lutris install

In-game options: -Disable or silence music and Uncheck play client startup music -Disable card animations(summoning sickness and foil treatment)

I’ve also found that it is always better to close the program using the Stop button on Lutris, there’s a bug where sometimes if you close out of the game via the Close button in the window, it will not properly stop the game, and will prevent starting the game back up again. I also tend to start the game in Lutris instead of via a desktop shortcut.

Nice! Loved the manga, can’t wait to see it animated.

In my experience (W11 + Fedora on UEFI Thinkpad), I’ve seen it actually get rid of the Fedora entry from the UEFI boot list. Reinstalling GRUB didn’t fix it, so I used EasyUEFI to readd the Fedora EFI file to the boot list and that worked.

So it wasn’t simply changing the boot order, it actually nuked Fedora from the UEFI boot list.

Manage EFI/UEFI boot options & Manage EFI System Partitions & Fix EFI/UEFI boot issues the easy way!

EasyUEFI is a free software which allows you to manage the EFI/UEFI boot options & the EFI System Partitions. With this software you can easily fix EFI/UEFI boot issues, such as missing or corrupt EFI/UEFI boot option, missing or corrupt EFI System Partition.

Well, if you’re using Mullvad’s malware/ad filters etc there’s really no need for a PiHole in the first place (unless you’re doing some funky custom filtering).
