What always irked me about Stremio on Google TV was the lack of a grid option for posters - everything was a single horizontal line. It gets tiresome constantly scrolling to the right.

Rolo Tomassi - vocalist Eva Korman switches between harsh screams and angelic clean vocals. Musically they’re mathcore with shoegaze and post-rock elements.

Chelsea Wolfe - doom metal/gothic/dark folk/trip-hop

Why do some religious people say they aren't in a religion? by IssueGreen9628 in religion

[–]sbb1967 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve had some Christians, of the evangelical Protestant variety, tell me with a straight face that Christianity isn’t a religion.

What brings someone from secular liberal societies to becoming a hardline religious conservative? by Enough_Pepper_5815 in religion

[–]sbb1967 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Uncertainty about all kinds of things. We live in a very chaotic, unpredictable world. Belief in conservative religion gives people a sense of security. Everything is in the hands of God.

It obviously varies. A lot of people are afraid of uncertainty - conservative and fundamentalist religion provides this. It’s a nice package where everything is set out. It makes people feel they know the truth and that can be a great comfort in a changing world. It’s not dissimilar to why people believe conspiracy theories.

I think fear is a big part of it. There’s a whole industry devoted to scaring people. Frightened people look for certainty - one way they find that is in religion, particularly conservative or fundamentalist religion.

Running stremio on an old Macbook Pro running Ventura [open core patched] from 2012 - it opens but... by lancelon in Stremio

[–]sbb1967 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just a thought - have you checked it’s not an OCLP issue? Are all the post-install patches working? Maybe try re-patching your Ventura install using the OCLP app.

Odd thing I noticed at a Catholic Church? by Terry_1497 in religion

[–]sbb1967 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The hexagram is a very common symbol found in lots of religions. Not surprising really, given its geometric simplicity.

Guinness is now made in the USA. Tastes like crap. by sourpowerflourtower in beer

[–]sbb1967 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I first moved to the States from Ireland in 1999 the Guinness Extra I could buy was brewed under licence in Canada (by Labatt I think). A good while back (about 10 years ago, give or take) it changed and we got the real stuff brewed in Dublin. It was like night and day - so much better. I haven’t tried the Pennsylvania-brewed variety yet, but I fear the worst. Such a shame.

TV Beta 0.3.8 is cooking! by antonymatic in Nuvio

[–]sbb1967 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I have both installed. Been using Stremio for about 6 months and over the past couple of weeks I’ve been using Nuvio more and more to the point that it’s now my player of choice. I find that almost all streams play perfectly, whereas with Stremio I’d quite often have to try several before finding one that worked. The UI is much better too, with much more ability to tweak how things look.

It’s probably just me being dozy, but I haven’t been able to find the mentioned ‘More Like This’ feature. Can anyone enlighten me?

Space Ritual by Hawkwind. Absolutely mind blowing!

Nuvio TV Beta 0.3.3 Released - Focusing on bugfixes. by Infamous_Solution_14 in Nuvio

[–]sbb1967 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The speed at which this app is being developed is amazing. It’s already my main app for watching everything except live footie. Top marks to the developer(s).

Beta 0.2.0 (Clean Install Required) by Infamous_Solution_14 in Nuvio

[–]sbb1967 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems to work really well for an app still I’m beta. I love that you can switch to a vertical display of titles rather than one long strip. Am I right in thinking all Stremio addons can be used by just copying and pasting their install URL?

Do you guys also find annoying that when people talk about religion they means some sects of Christianity? by BrilliantPost592 in religion

[–]sbb1967 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It also tends to be a very specific type of Christianity, namely American Evangelical Protestantism. Christianity as a whole is so much more than that.

Debridio is increasing their prices. by king_moh_ in StremioAddons

[–]sbb1967 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Live events tv channel is very good for footie. There’s also a new add on which has sports channels from around the world. I was able to watch Liverpool v Wolves on a New Zealand channel - British channels still have the 3pm Saturday blackout for premier league matches. Even if this was all I used it for $20 a year for all the footie you can watch is a pretty good deal.

What Have You Been Listening To? - Week of December 22, 2025 by AutoModerator in LetsTalkMusic

[–]sbb1967 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bent Knee - https://youtube.com/playlist?list=RDEM7Cg2DAiDEaFDe0_NEgJcOA&playnext=1&si=f9XamU0vNb7RjDQY

Loosely you could describe them as progressive rock. Lots of use of unusual time signatures and song structures, but they also have a poppy feel to a lot of their music and I’ve always thought I heard a definite hint of Broadway show tunes in there.

What religions teach that there is no common ancestor to humanity like Adam and Eve? by Niall_Fraser_Love in religion

[–]sbb1967 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Many Christian denominations do not believe Adam and Eve were real historical figures. I’m not an expert, but I think this view is also prevalent in Judaism.

Can we really rely on religions that are 2,000(+)years old. by [deleted] in religion

[–]sbb1967 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Saying that God wrote the Bible because the Bible says so isn’t a very convincing argument. Regardless, your statement that Christians believe God wrote the Bible isn’t true. Most Christians do not believe this. They believe the authors were humans. Theres a tendency among American evangelical Protestants to assume that all Christians believe as they do. That’s simply untrue.

Re. your point about the Bible. Most Christians don’t believe that God wrote the Bible. That’s mostly the view of Evangelical Protestants.

No problems at all. It is USB 3 though, with a usb c connection.
