Back in the day C64 game packs on cassette tapes were a thing in the former Yugoslavia. You could order them via mail for small change. I bought a number of those, I didn't even know it was a thing called piracy. 😅
If by 'Russian KoolAid' you mean easily preventable inflation, internal border controls due to EU support of genocidal Tel-Aviv regime, exorbitant energy prices, and blatant censorship that even Stalin would envy, then yes, I guess I was thirsty AF...
EU is a total shitshow. It has been for years, but lately we really suffer from this stupid bureaucracy. Paper straws, attached bottle caps, not to mention billions they mindlessly pour into the slugfest in Ukraine.
I get the sentiment, but no. No way. No way in hell I'm allowing advertisers to get a bit of data or a penny out of me in any way, shape, or form. Not the way they've been treating us for the last decade. They can eat dung for all I care. Total war.
Yes. Although I noticed strange behavior for playlists, almost each second song triggers the nagging 'Playback paused, click to continue' for some reason, it could be related.
Umm, didn't mean to deride you, sorry that I wasn't clear enough about that, I should've been more precise. What I meant to say was that I was pirating before I knew what pirating even meant. I was not old enough at the time and it was in the good old times of C64 when people weren't generally aware of piracy.
That's why we use bug zappers liberally.
