not because she is vile — because she is a Republican. she has sacrificed her better nature for power and closeness to Trump. there is no particular reason why she is cruel, of course, because cruelty is the point.

i refuse to pirate indie games. i will always buy games that are independently released or from small publishers because 1. they’re just trying to break even (unlike publishers like EA and Activision who have millions of fans lining up to buy their repetitive junk) and 2. they almost never have DRM. i’ll also buy my music for similar reasons; 99% of artists can barely make a living and i really do not want to contribute to that statistic
money isn’t a birthright, but food, water, shelter, clothes, and healthcare are. if we can’t be given those, we should at least be given the money to get them
one Discord server i was on had a Minecraft server with a specific mod installed that allowed cracked copies to join, and it allowed people to lock names in with a PIN so people couldn’t impersonate each other. i can’t remember which mod it was though
oh, good point about console games. i wonder if you could use multiplayer on a pirated console game with crossplay
why is this an L? Linux is fully capable of 4k playback. any Linux user (with a 4k screen) can go to YouTube and watch a 4k video in full quality. Linux support is there, the bandwidth is probably there, the hardware power is there (Asahi Linux is for Apple hardware), so the problem is either Netflix or DRM in general
ranked-choice is the wrong choice here. it’s expensive to print new ballots and the process is needlessly convoluted and wasteful. approval voting is not only cheap and effective, it more accurately represents the will of the people
yeah. i’m just hoping the Democrats don’t whiff the ball on their messaging again
is there any listing of those I can check somewhere?
i’ll have to look more into that. the obvious answer is “keep it off site”, but that only applies if you’re doing backups. if it’s a NAS with several different purposes like the one i want, i’m not actually sure. i’ll keep reading about it
my dream is to build my own NAS. it would handle everything i need: it would be a Nextcloud, media server, website host, Matrix server, Minecraft server, and when i’m not doing anything with it at the moment i’ll have it donate its time to seeding and relaying
believe it or not, that wasn’t the original purpose of copyright. copyright was invented as a form of censorship. in 1556, the Charter of the Stationers’ Company was given the exclusive right to control the operation of printing presses in England, up to and including the ability to seize offending books and burn the printing presses that made them (L. Ray Patterson, Copyright and “the Exclusive Right” of Authors, p. 9)
they wouldn’t be able to do anything. youtube-dl doesn’t use an API or anything like that, it just streams the video like a browser would and rips the stream. if they somehow actually managed to selectively block youtube-dl, all youtube-dl would have to do is send a different user agent. the only defense against stream ripping in general is to not stream anything at all, which Youtube obviously cannot do
AnnaArchivist is not the asshole here. this is extremely out-of-line and entitled behavior on CurrentRisk’s part, whining about something as insignificant as download speeds and hounding AnnaArchivist for a response she is not obligated to give, on a post that’s combative and immature and generally not worthy of her consideration, when she has so many better things to be doing
