That's more complicated than Stremio to setup though, and still requires you to download the movie/show before watching, correct? Stremio just requires adding Torrentio in the app and linking your RD account once - then it's easy times.

Listen, I think Jellyfish is great - but it really is a horse's for courses scenario. The Stremio + Torrentio + RD triad just works for a lot of people that need a wife proof solution (pardon the sexism) and don't want to store all this content.

Out of interest, does Jellyfish have ability to list Netflix, HBO catalogues? That's a convenient add-on in Stremio where you can essentially browse a specific streaming service's catalogue, or at least their most popular items.

Stremio works on android TV. I use the Stremio + RD + Torrentio setup, it's great for essentially mimicking the Netflix experience in that you can sit down and browse movies/series, watch trailers then just select something to watch right then and there. It's intuitive so my family can use it easily.

If you mainly watch movies on your PC/laptop then there may not be that much material gain from the above setup - but it is a good option if wanting to fully replace the Netflix-esque experience.

Yeah, I was being a bit flippant but it's true that FOSS is more compatible with open science. To be honest nothing I use anymore is paid. My testing software, analysis software and modelling software is all FOSS and developed by Academics in my area and I honestly don't see an advantage to paid versions. Shit, we even use Inkscape to edit figures.

Generally there are free trials or FOSS alternatives for most academic programs because academics are stingey af.

Cursory search showed Spin Works might suit your needs.

They offer PayPal.

Order one and find out.

Russia is still making things, it's just difficult for them to process payments within their countries borders. No reason a reseller in EU would have the same issues.

The question is whether right now is the best time to support Russian businesses.

If you have your heart set on getting one then also consider buying second hand.

You're talking about pirating the pirates though. RD is so cheap compared to a streaming subscription and essentially free given the amount of content it provides. Stremio is user friendly enough for anyone to use. Just pay for the extra subs.

In that case perhaps a Frederique Constant? Citizen owned but Swiss made. Fair few of the watch reviewers are raving about their new range.

Miyoo/Anbernic present a much better option.

It's not the copyright law that is lax in these countries, but rather the level of monitoring and enforcement required by ISPs. For most ISPs they gain nothing by sending anti-piracy letters to customers in the absence of any particular law that mandates ISPs enforce anti-piracy. Instead they may find customers leave and go to a competitor. The most they do is the bare minimum required by Govt, usually blocking certain domains and only sending letters if a third party has done the hard work of identifying the IP address of a pirate. When studios sue ISPs they generally lose, or go for settlements (see BMG vs Cox). ISPs have spent a lot of time and money lobbying to be left out of piracy enforcement.

You could compare it to underage drinking, a bar's main incentive to not serve underage customers is to avoid large fines for doing so. If those fines didn't exist one might assume many bars would be more lax on checking ID. A bar might argue that if underage drinking is illegal then that's a matter between the drinker and the police, it's not the bar's job to spend money on security to check patron IDs. This is essentially what ISPs have argued.

Very good. I really like the bezel design on this, and congrats on whatever life event triggered this purchase.

Wikipedia is only a source of concern if the primary sources it cites are unreliable, in the linked article they refer to ABS data which is the most accurate population data for that country. No LGBT question was asked in the more recent Australian census. The ~4% of population being homosexual was a talking point during our same sex marriage plebiscite, hence why I use it.

However, in recent US census data 3.3% of the population respond as being Lesbian or Gay, with 4.4% bisexual https://www.census.gov/library/stories/2021/11/census-bureau-survey-explores-sexual-orientation-and-gender-identity.html. It'd be interesting to see how that percentage progresses as majority of positive respondents were in younger generations, while I doubt any will go from identifying as gay to then straight, we may see a decline in those who identify as bisexual as they age...but who knows.

Regardless, returning to the OC, the figures for trans were all around the 0.6 mark in most sources I saw, so the 2/400 in the OC is accurate.
