I'd bet money it's the soccer industry.

They are raising prices obscenely and more people are moving to alternative sources to watch it. Those sources are generally IPTVs and the industry is bleeding subs a an allarming rate because (according to them) piracy. Of course, the fact that in countries like Italy, a soccer sub goes over 60€ a month and can be closer to 100€, is not to blame for the users turning to iptvs...

Only soccer is around 60€ a month (more if you want to watch all the games and not just a selection), so do the math

I'm not native italian so take this with a grain of salt. All the acronyms I've heard in italian are pronounced as you would pronounce that word if it was Italian. Weirdly enough, they include a lot of English words (not acronyms) in their daily vocabulary and they pronounce those in English.

TIL. In Italian it's used as a word (not an acronym) to refer to those devices.

You have to be a special kind of stupid to pay for this kind of service with your personal card. But if you get caught a second time then I can't have any sympathy for you.

This situation reminds me of that drug dealer (always in italy) that accepted payments for his merch using his own POS (idk the word in English, it's one of those terminals to accept payments with cards).

They used their personal prepaid card (one registered to their own name and issued by the public postal service) to pay for the iptv sub.

Happy as I am because this shows that there is no crime in watching those streams, I can't but stand in awe at the sheer stupidity of these guys.

I had a hard time figuring if this was satire or not for a good part of the article. The part where the monster refused to go back to their containers was what told me it was actually satire.

Yay! Can't wait for a second one!! Since the last pandemic i always kept reserves on n95 masks and I have a bidet so I'm covered for the most important parts. Let's see how lethal is this one, I'm sure it's gonna be a lot of fun to live in any fascist country when this happens, after all, what could possibly go wrong ina country that denies science during a pandemic? Specially considering the amount of these we are seeing nowadays.

But don't worry, fifa said they can held a world cup and it will help them with the humans rights respecting issue

Autistic nerd here. Not enjoying a single bit of this asshole assholery.

Not enjoying either your blatant bigotry.

Because not all the words that are gendered refer to a single gender. I understand when we change the last vowel to an e to add a non gendered version of a word that has both male and female forms (e.g. nosotros/as, spanish for "we", would do great with a nosotres). But when the word itself is already non gendered (as persona, which although is considered female, refers to any person of any kind, because there is no male alternative) I don't see a reason to do it.

There is no discrimination in referring to someone as a persona, since there is no "persono" word, so saying persona no binaria will offend only who wants to be offended.

Actually the problem is not that hard to solve unless you are trying to be deliberately obnoxious:

You say "no binario\a" depending to the noun it defines. It's correct to say no binaria because it refers to a person (in spanish persona, female noun).

But it's also ok to say no binario if you refer to a human being (ser humano in spanish, this one male noun).

Imagine using a tool aimed at improving your privacy done by one company of which its core business is literally violating as much as possible of your privacy.

And I'm perfectly fine costing them money, I would pay, were they not enshittifying music streaming and paying peanuts to the artists.

Actually, I might try and find a new patch if they block this one to keep costing them money out of spite.

Mate, why aren't you working as an exec at ubi or ea?

Still working on my end, but don't know for how long, if they kill it, it might be the time I pass to tidal or say fuck it and just start using again my old mp3 player app

Yes, you are right, but given that we are all going to be affected by the decision of a bunch of idiots (even if we are not american), the only thing that I can do is enjoy how their face will get eaten by the leopards.

Sure, we are screwed, but they are too, and so deservingly that I will enjoy their suffering.

So Tom Nook will be present, only this time he won't accept bells but only real money.

Of course they don't, but I don't care anymore, at this point it's just pure and unadultered schadenfreude.

Looking to degoogle myself too. For the maps, Here we go is a german brand. I know it's not foss but being german, they have to follow GDPR which, I guess, is better than google anyways.
