I thought that wanker looked familiar :p
Weird take.
In this video I discuss how Korean Telecom (aka KT Corp) deployed malware to the PC's of 600k of their customers who were using bittorrent applications to share files with one another. [Mental Outlaw]
If this checks out, and it seems to, this is the craziest shit I've ever heard of an ISP doing.

Those eyes are definitely saying, "How could you do this to me?"
With phone link I have tested the beta version and you can use your phone camera wirelessly after initial setup. At least I was able to do this using a Redmi Note 9s without any obvious issues, apart from the privacy concerns noted elsewhere.
Aye exactly mate, down with the mega corps!
I'll volunteer to help out with moderation. I have some spare bandwidth.
The only unique (I think?) thing about phone link is that it enables you to use your Android phone camera as a webcam, which can be handy if you don't have a quality webcam. I think its only in the beta version though.
Just a quick update, lemmy.world has posted an update that explains their decision here: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/16795373
TLDR is that the person who removed the community is fairly new to the mod team and didn't realize there was a bit of a history to this situation. Also, looks like they are sticking with the decision this time around though.
Please don't harass the lemmy.world admins/mods though - if you don't like the situation you are free to register here or on another instance. And if you aren't a lemmy.world user, then this doesn't affect you at all.
I'm proud of our community here, and it's their loss, not ours!

A repack is usually a cracked release from another source that has been heavily compressed to reduce file size. They often come with a custom installer that manages the decompression process and streamlines the installation process, so you don't have to manually install patches/cracks after installation, and can skip optional content. Trusted repackers like FitGirl will also check for malware/viruses in the original crack, so you can be reasonably confident the repack is safe to install. Having said that, always take your own precautions when installing anything from the internet, i.e. virus scan and only use trusted sources.
Yeah, FreeTube has been really solid for me. I'm dreading the day YouTube go the server-side ad injection route. It's surely inevitable, unless the costs to implement it outweigh the lost ad revenue maybe?
