Edit: The Los Angeles Times source had a consent to arbitration pop-up banner for those not using an effective ad blocker, so I switched the link to an ABC San Francisco alternative.

Nintendo@lemmy.world•NES – Nintendo Classics – April 2026 Game UpdatesEnglish
22·19 hours agoIt still amazes me how many people are perfectly fine subscribing for temporary access to a ROM library.
Edit: It’s not surprising that companies opt for subscription models to boost profitability; it’s just frustrating that rational consumers are progressively less and less able to purchase products at reasonable prices because the average consumer is putting up with it.

News@lemmy.world•Trump says he’s considering ‘joint venture’ with Iran for Strait of Hormuz tollsEnglish
2·2 days agoWith 20 million barrels of oil going through the straight daily, there’s certainly be plenty of grift to go around if Trump somehow got them to allocate fees to his knockoff UN in the name of ‘peace’.
The amount of grift in the military industrial complex and the value of arms shipments to Israel likely outpaces what he’d realistically get out of Iran. Regardless of the outcome of the war, oil profits and arms shipments are up, and Trump is undoubtedly getting kickbacks from it.

News@lemmy.world•Trump says he’s considering ‘joint venture’ with Iran for Strait of Hormuz tollsEnglish
18·2 days agoAll they’d have to do is call it the Trump Peace Tariff and wire him a cut of it and he’d let them set it as high as they want.

Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ@lemmy.dbzer0.com•Stremio is getting on my nervesEnglish
3·2 days agoNote that Debridio doesn’t work without a Debrid service; it exists merely as a paid alternative to Torrentio for when it’s congested with too many users at once. Doesn’t happen too often thankfully.
I personally prefer how Torrentio formats results, but unreliability with the service has frustrated family members in the past (the point of using Stremio in the first place being to make torrenting as much like using Netflix as possible for non-techies) and made having an alternative useful, just in case.
In reconfiguring Torrentio, make sure you uninstall it before reinstalling it, as it doesn’t overwrite it.

News@lemmy.world•Live Updates: White House says reports of Strait of Hormuz closure are false as Iran claims Israel violating ceasefireEnglish
6·2 days agoDidn’t go with the MSNBC or Guardian ones since they linked to live feeds that might change, and several of the other ones that popped up first were right-wing outlets glad to be fed whatever the White House puts in their mouth, so CBC seemed like a good, well-balanced choice.

Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ@lemmy.dbzer0.com•Stremio is getting on my nervesEnglish
7·3 days agoI will mention I did renew the real debrid subscription which seems fishy - I used to use TorrentioRD+ but it doesn’t recognise my subscription so I can only use Torrentio.
Torrentio is much more reliable with Real-Debrid than without; did you get your API key from Real-Debrid and add it while configuring Torrentio?
Even still, Torrentio can at times be unreliable, as other free debrid indexers can also be. An alternate option to use alongside or instead of Torrentio is the paid Debridio service ($10 a year).

It’s just gluing together data from random sources it finds with no care for the accuracy or recency of that data; Lemmy has about 38,000 MAU, not 77,000.

News@lemmy.world•As parents seek out ‘vaccine friendly’ clinics, pediatricians worry about eroding trustEnglish
9·3 days agoIf there are no societal roadblocks to prevent anti-vaxx parents raising their children to also be anti-vaxxers, then the cycle of misinformation will only get worse as time progresses.
Regardless, parents should not have the ability to prevent their children from getting vaccinations on the basis of their own unscientific beliefs.

World News@lemmy.world•Russia sending second ship with oil to Cuba amid US blockadeEnglish
92·5 days agoAgreed; Russia is a terrorist state that has committed atrocities in Ukraine, interfered in the affairs and territorial integrity of its neighbors, and denied its own citizens basic human rights.
In this rare instance, however, its foreign policy goal of opposing U.S. foreign policy has the side benefit of disrupting one of Trump’s blatant violations of international law. Not because Russia itself cares for a second about international law, though.

It’s not that monumental, and still lower than the profits from their actions.
