Somewhere in countries that don’t respect American copyright like Iran
What are you talking about i have tens of gigabytes worth of flacs from slsk
It’s happened a couple of times by now, last time was the developer of node-ipc being roasted for shipping malware in production that thrashed hard drives if it detected a Russian IP address
Discussion at the end degrades into name calling
I feel you, I have one of two known sources of obscure Russian albums in FLAC and I’m more than happy to secure its future by sharing.
Fuck traders, if you’re on Soulseek do the right thing and blacklist them.
Soulseek is very much alive, try there. But please try to share your stuff too.
I didn’t know anything about the drama. Thanks for the heads up, will investigate.
I spent a sizable chunk of my childhood playing SNES games on emulators, it is thanks to both piracy and preservation I got to have the experience. I actually respected Nintendo back then and had a Wii with a small stash of retail games. Well, I still have the Wii but it’s softmodded and has a 16 GB SD card full of games and homebrew but since Iwata died so did my respect for Nintendo. Imagine paying for P2P multiplayer and near absence of cloud services.
Nowadays I only get devices I can mod and customize by any means official or otherwise. If I wasn’t a full time student and I had enough money and time to spend I’d get an OLED Switch to mod and play all sorts of stuff, it could be a nifty tablet to both work and play with.
None of these things above are possible without piracy.
No more VC free money + enshittification
I like AI’s immense power but using it to replace human interaction with corporation-controlled LLM API bots is a ridiculous idea.
I bought Terraria and Geometry Dash just to support the devs. Also some Valve games as a reward to them for pouring so much effort into the Linux ecosystem and contributing all their improvements back to it.
It is much worse here in Latin America where you have European cost of life but Latin American wages.
I share my music folder on slsk and I’ve gotten tons of rare obscure FLAC albums from there
Have you ever been a Minecraft server admin? Have you ever been in a Nintendo fan space? These places really hate pirates
Shady blockchain service with almost no traffic except for some spikes in 2021.
Replacing a megacorp service is only possible when the stars align and said megacorp makes a fuckup so big users start jumping and these users are still a tiny speck compared to the total userbase. Still I hope Reddit dies slowly.
I’m already archiving shit on my humble terabyte of two HDDs
I went back to Newpipe from Libretube because it became unusable and I got tired from waiting for hotfixed whenever Google got ahead in the cat and mouse game and having to jump between instances
They were always assholes, but the end of zero interest rates is making American corporations go from boiling the frog to just smoking the frog alive.
Will try it, thanks. Seems more civilized.
Thanks for the tip. That seems like a better punishment.
