Visits to piracy websites have increased 12% in the past four years

  • That would be smart and is what originally happened.

  • No it also means it’s a service problem in the sense that it’s not priced right for a geography. Pricing a game $70 where local average monthly income is $120 a month is a service problem. If you expect people from that geographic region to pay, the product should be priced within their means. And thus argument is valid only for digital goods where every new copy of the said goods costs mere few cents.

    People who pirate because they don't want to pay will never, ever pay. Not worth considering them to be honest.

    • Smite 2 has been announced and its going to work on Steam Deck (and Linux)

  • I wouldn't even pirate this shit, lol lmao.

    • Youtube has better anti-adblock now. Other than Invidious, any way around it? Purging and re-dowloading the ublock stuff didn't work

  • Someone else pays for the storage for me. I personally give google $0

  • I'm on someone else's Google One, so I get it for free. For now, that means I can run yt-dlp on those pesky premium-only videos, which is nice.

  • unpopular answer: youtube premium as bundled with a wider google subscription, aka Google One or the like

    • When Windows 10 dies, I am going to jump ship over to Linux. Which version would you recommend for someone with zero prior experience with Linux? Edit: Linux Mint it shall be.

    Jump

  • Linux Mint, 100%. Most of your configuration will have a GUI and their flagship Cinnamon desktop is made to look similar to Windows 7.

    • "Combokeys" instead of hotkeys. [Feature/new command suggestion]

    Jump

  • i prefer key chords as a name for that tbh

    • Ending support for Windows 10 could send 240 million computers to the landfill. Why not install Linux on them?

    Jump

  • I wouldn't. GNOME is too far from the Windows Experience™ for it to be comfortable for them.

    • Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney was asked by Verge why there is no support for the Steam Deck for Fortnite

  • i fucking love exact audio copy btw

    • Love devs' attitude towards piracy, TruePianos v1.9.8 (audio VSTi plugin)

  • Why would they care? They've already sold one person thousands of dollars of DLC and don't need your friend to buy it too

  • we're being gacha'd and fomo'd sir

    • Windows 10 support doesn't end in 2025 after all, if you pay up

    Jump

  • Ah yes the Windows XP model.

    • Switching from Linux Mint to OpenSuSE Tumbleweed very soon. Any advice?

    Jump

  • flatpak goes system level unless you explicitly add the repo as a user no matter the DE you use, in my experience

    • every damn time ...

  • I sure as shit don't trust me. LOL

    • GitHub: Can no longer search code without being logged in.

    • Piracy even when I can get it legally

  • And then Special 1.mkv, Special 2.mkv, Menu.mkv

    • How """not""" to handle security vulnerabilities

    Jump

  • It's a prime example of how not to act, regardless.

    • Have you ever done something for yourself on your (job) company's infrastructure?

    Jump

  • Fuck off, fed.

  • Now imagine if the DVD/Blu-Ray didn't have any of that bullshit on it, and it just went to a menu, and just played when u clicked play.
