This could be funny if it wasn’t so sad. Reminds me of the episode in The Wire where the various departments wouldn’t take responsibility over the dead girls in the can because of they could t pinpoint where exactly they died and when. They care too much for the state. God forbid there’s a lynching and instead of admitting they have a problem they focus on cooking the stats.

You mean the game devs they provide CDN at no additional costs, networking features a dev environment that is far more comfortable than any competitor and various additional revenue streams (such as trading cards and items)?

Lmao..

AAA dogshit shovelware game increases price from $60 to $70 and some people are unhappy.

Small time indie dev bumps game price from $6 to $8 to keep up with inflation and people lose their shit to the point it goes on gaming msm

No wonder we’re the most abused market.

I actually never thought of it like that, if you're not partaking in the trade of fossil fuels, you are removing yourself from a lot of potential conflicts and "who support who" ordeals.

Hello.

Although we pirate for various reasons (ideology, no money to spend on entertainment, etc.) I wanted to know if the community actually donates money to any FOSS project? Nearly all of us use a torrent client based on libtorrent (qBit, Transmission, Deluge) or an open source Usenet client such as SABnzbd to consume our pirated content, yet I wonder, how many people here donate to FOSS projects?

I donated 15 euro to KDE in the past, as well as 10 euro to qBittorrent to keep the projects alive. I think that software that respects it's users deserves to be rewarded for doing so. What is your opinion?

Just because you're paying $10 a month does not mean that Meta will stop farming your data. Sure, they won't shove you any ads, but they will stockpile data for the day you decide that $10 (it's not really $10.. they will increase this price 2-3 years down the line once they feel they had gathered enough users, the Silicon Valley way) and then pump you with ads that cater you.

In the software world, based on personal experience and the UNIX philosophy, software should aim to do one thing and do it really well.

Then there are also the bloat complaints (why should I download a whole stack of arr services when I only care for movies)

The most unfortunate one however can be them mixing. If my child looks up Star Wars but instead the suite ends up downloading a Star Wars porn parody.. that’s just.. bad

Good. Either big tech chip in and start helping maintain the LTS kernels or pay a respectable salary to those who maintain it.

I like to use Denuvo as an indicator of a bad release. For someone with over 3k hours on PAYDAY 2, I just cancelled my preorder.

Thank you for the fun times OVERKILL, sad to see you go this way.

Nitter link.

Also, the Chromium forks need to get onboard. I think Opera doesn't care about ads either so it will likely go against it but Microsoft will definitely add it to Edge.

Use Firefox :)

Americans don't know it yet but even the third world has better internet speeds than they do.

As the title suggests, I'm in the market for a vacuum that doesn't phone home, not even for initial setup (if possible). This is my first time stepping into home automation so I'm not familiar with the various FOSS projects in the space. I'm comfortable with modding/rooting the vacuum so throw your suggestions, I'll research them.

How to Usenet? (lemmy.world)

Hello,

I tried in the past to wrap my head around usenet, and I bought access to some news downloader (iirc it was called that way not sure, but it was Eweka) and tried using it, the problem was that every download I tried to get was dead on arrival (link being dead, failing to verify file integrity) yet so many people on piracy forums swear by Usenet and claim that for ~$60 a year they get a much more superior experience than torrents, and yet, I currently torrent everything with no issues at all.

The reason for trying Usenet that when attempting to search some less popular TV shows/movies, I could not always find it in the quality I wanted to see, and therefore decided to give it a try.

Any suggestions?
