API is like an easy gateway sites offer to make sure other developers can integrate data from themselves to their apps. Reddit used to be more permissive towards third party apps back when they didn't have an official one; but now that their data is used for other purposes and they have an official app; they didn't want to give out their data for free anymore.

All fediverse sites use an API called "ActivityPub" to have their content work with each other, so a lemmy account from lemmy.ml can follow another user from lemmy.world and their posts can be seen on a third party app.

NewPipe uses data scraping to get the data from youtube from the data the site gives. This is not using an API, it instead acts like a user and gets the data from the site itself. Sites can introduce various methods to distrupt data scraping; but cannot truly do it without crippling the anonymous user experience a lot. Lots of modern media sites have started to do so you might have realised.

I don't know if uTorrent does ratelimit torrents someway (they shouldn't be by theory), but it being adware is enough of a result to switch to another torrent client.

I'm more of a fan of Deluge, but alternatives like qBittorrent / Transmission are solid choices.

So does most popular game engines (like Unreal and Godot) to give game developers easier access to certain content they can use in their games.

Can the comments please stop finding a reason to pirate? Not everyone needs reasoning to pirate.

Each of these sites Tachiyomi uses are compliant with DMCA. Not taking it down on them and instead crippling Tachiyomi is literally the worst action to do.

It's cool that we might see titles like "Suck Up" on Steam.

Linkedin is the only social media I would reccomend to put yourself out (as in, put your successful projects in) as it's used more as a networking tool to land yourself in better jobs.

Fuck other social media. Anonymity is best.

Hunger Games works in quite a dystopian setting that politicians in US wouldn't allow; so I can see Trump being impeached immediately after this suggestion.

However, assuming that this isn't implemented as a life-in stakes Battle Royale and instead as a sports event improved with Augmented Reality (all weapons are simulated, no real deaths); it could be a fun event to watch. I could see myself betting on athletic people.
