  • I was too lazy to switch to KeePassXC, but thanks to Bitwarden it gave me the motivation I lacked so far! Fuck AI.

  • 100.01% is cutting it close but glad to see we got this far. Please keep signing!

  • Report post. Fuck off with that gambling crap.

  • Of course there are things that are unacceptable to pirate, one thing being sex workers' content. Their survival very much depends on whether someone pays for their work. As others have said, there is plenty of free content on the internet. If OP is so desperate for a wank (which no one owes them, btw), then they can visit the content that doesn't cost a thing.

    We should always show solidarity towards the weakest and poorest of us. Most people who do sex work don't do it out of joy but necessity. Fucking pay them.

  • Since when is Linux spyware OS? Given that there are Whonix and Qubes that are the exact opposite of spyware-esque OS.

  • This is so stupid. I love it.

  • The problem isn't pirates, it's films and series being available in one country and unavailable in another. It's greedy af streaming services that keep raising the prices, having a small percentage of overall films and series available and expecting people to get a handful(!) of those, 15€ or more per service(!) just to have some sort of half decent coverage. On top of all that, they keep raising prices while introducing ads for their paid tier(!), they further raid their library of media just so that the consumer is left with mostly crap and maybe a vanishing number of quality films and series.

    I don't know why today, but I'm furious. When having a headache because of a tumor, then the headache isn't the problem and aspirin isn't the cure. The problem is the tumor and it needs to be treated chemically, surgically or via radiation.

    Piracy is not the problem. It's the symptom that has been pointing to the actual problem: capitalist greed.

    For the longest time I've paid for streaming services, still do. But after sitting for over half an hour trying to figure out whether I should watch crappy series 1, 2, 3, 4 or maybe 5, ... I refuse to finance some capitalist's yacht with that. It's literally degraded to me handing over money, full stop. It's a one-directional transaction which does not happen in my favour.

    I'm angry, hence the vent. I couldn't care less about some arse not getting my money. I hope they choke on their caviar. My breaking point is reached. Long live piracy.

  • I mean, is Microsoft truly going to stop at DRM labelled content? Now they claim they will, but I don't trust they will in the future.

  • And getting tips for enemies that don't show the same behaviour on hard mode as they do on easy mode.

    "Just hit them twice and they're dead, what's taking you so long 🙄"

  • Something that lets one post what they want with file sharing included sounds dangerously close to sharing cp without repercussions.

  • You can also use Handbrake to encode your files

  • That's not entirely correct either, because apparently "blobfish" can also refer to the wider Psychrolutidae family, also known as fathead sculpins, meaning that other species from the Psychrolutidae family get referred to as "blobfish". So blobfish != exclusively Psychrolutes marcidus, which makes OP's post more accurate than your comment.
