I have cancelled all but one of my streaming video subscriptions in an effort to save money. I wanted to watch a certain movie but didn’t have a physical or digital copy, and didn’t want to purchase it. Suddenly, I remembered that libraries exist. Today I walked to the library and checked out a few movies on Blu-ray and DVD. For free. I feel strangely powerful. Support - and use - your local library.

Shortwave is a Rust-based streaming radio (IP radio/internet radio) application written by Felix Häcker, and it's my favorite way to manage my streaming radio stations on Linux. It's a GNOME Circle application but I use it on KDE Plasma and Sway, and it works fine over there (for me anyway). Maybe you'll like it!

I just realized there's an unexplored niche in the non-animated streaming scene. On one side, there are completely innocent streamers who just do their normal stuff, chatting, discussing world events, ranting, or doing entertainment stuff.

On the other side we have adult streamers who just do porn to earn quick cash.

But there's an unexplored middle ground in which female streamers are getting to push the boundaries to see how far they can do without getting banned; and I don't mean almost showing nudes like in the recent Twitch scandal. I mean scantily clad girls showing off their cleavage while they're chatting or dancing. Then there's other streamers who just record themselves sleeping.

Sleeping! 😱🫣 Remember that short one shot anime that got thousands of sales? Sleeping with Hinako. Yeah it was about an anime girl who just recorded herself sleeping. That was the whole point.

I feel that between porn and normal streaming there's a void where viewers could get more intimacy with streamers, who will become their own kind of celebrity by blurring the lines between reality and fiction, between public image and sexual intimacy.

And it's... just intimacy.

Picture this.

A girl who streams in underwear, while still leaving something to the imagination, where she streams herself eating, talks about stuff, and could occasionally stream herself getting off to porn she's watching, but only for a limited time - or blurring herself. Then she goes to the bathroom, switches to the bathroom camera and goes behind the fogged window to shower herself.

Now imagine the shower window isn't fogged but allows the shadow of her nude body to be shown; a silhouette that shows but still doesn't fully satisfy the viewer.

Like a perverted version of a reality show that gives viewers almost (JUST almost) everything they've dreamed of.

This abandonment of privacy, becoming a reality microcelebrity in order to gain an audience and the illusion of intimacy, that's what the unexplored niche of streaming is about.

I'm not sure it's a good thing, but I can totally see it happening in the near future. Is this where we're headed? 🤔

@Paweł Masarczyk I have just tried to open an URL like this in VLC media player and I think it kind of worked.
de1.api.radio-browser.info/m3u…

The thing is the requests are cached server side so we need to wait some 10 minutes in order to get it randomized again. If we all would start doing it we would be retrieving the same list from their cache.

We can spice it up by randomizing the offset for example
de1.api.radio-browser.info/m3u…

With this knowledge you can build your desktop shortcut to your favorite media player such as:
vlc "https://de1.api.radio-browser.info/m3u/stations/search?order=random&limit=10&offset=%RANDOM%"

Rád bych doma poslouchal v rozumné kvalitě streamovanou hudbu ze svého Deezer účtu, případně z dalších streamovacích platforem. A nějak nevím, kde a jak pátrat, jediné co vím, že nechci BT reproduktor.
Našel jsem třeba DUNE HD REALBOX 4K, ale jak pravím: Nemám ani tucha.
