Sure you do buddy.

Euthanasia is totally legal and not shunned upon everywhere in the world.

It's more so lucky that there was someone diligently doing that. It could've easily gone unnoticed had there not been someone like him.

Chances are MS is still tracking you via TPM and/or hw/peripherals.

I can't not register Windows 11, because despite everything I try to erase my hardware footprint, it still ties it to my digital license.

This goes as far as upgrading every single piece of hardware on my PC, and using an entirely different ISP.

And no. I don't use any Microsoft services on Win 11. I don't use Internet in any capacity when installing. Nor do I use any cd keys for Windows.

Everything the installer asks me, I answer "No." to.

This should honestly be a huge privacy concern but alas.

Give piped.video a try. Basically a youtube frontend that isn't ass.

Not gonna lie, this sounds like big fat ol' snake oil.

As in it sounds cool on paper, but in reality it's useless.

Protip: "It gets better later" isn't a good way to promote a game.

It has to be good from the start.

If it isn't and it can't hook a player, you've just lost a customer, who likely just refunded the game as well.

Now personally: I like terraria from start to end. It got a bit boring in the middle. I used to not be able to play it at all because /something/ about the game really triggered my migraines. It doesn't anymore, and I can play it.

I was thinking it's only spam servers, but it might actually just be downtime for hetzner or something.

Instances do not get banned on lemmy. You can run any kind of an instance.

That said, part of this could be providers pruning "fake customers", aka spammers, scammers, etc, who "paid" for their servers with stolen CC and SSN.

Edit: Someone up to making an uptime map for Lemmy, placing servers on a map based on where they report originating at? This could help seeing if a specific datacenter has downtime.

Owned, unless you have proof they still do.

Edit: Looked it up a bit, the shares are 70% Sven and wife, 30% Tencent. Honestly not too bad considering at the time those shares were sold, Larian was almost bankrupt.

Yes, Vortex is awful. Wanna download a 100 mod collection without shilling money to Nexus, which they sure as fuck won't give to mod creators?

Lmao you better like clicking 300 times to finish those downloads, oh and the fucking buttons keep moving to combat "automation software".

Flashing Samsung phones nowadays breaks the "seal", which means some applications stop working, and the camera gets botched because it requires the native samsung app + "intact" phone. There's currently no way to undo that.

Any site that allows customers to resell is a culprit of supporting the grey market. Even if they vet their resellers, you'll get the occassional hacked accounts, and legitimate resellers "turning" rogue after reaching their target reputation.

Use https://isthereanydeal.com to find actual discounts. Or buy on Steam. Or pirate it. Never support grey market.

Ain't as simple as "just disable them". G2A acquires keys through buy-one-get-two deals, using stolen credit cards, money laundering, stolen keys (mass mailing the devs for "preview" keys, which they then flip on G2A) etc.

So there's no way to know the origin of keys in G2A. By the time you know it's stolen keys, they've been sold out, and G2A has a notorious history of not giving a fuck about the situation.

You could just arbitrarily disable all keys, but you'd affect >90% legitimate customers.
