First, I'm not "taking". I'm copying. And the person providing a copy is 'giving'. And nowhere is anyone deprived of any physical thing, save an ethereal possibility of buying this game. Then again, I have no s

Its absolutely not pedantic, when you consider that TLDs of any language can be a thing. Its really nice to see a foreign language TLD, and know how to separate them appropriately. The "." at the end also serves another level of d

Then you don't know what you're talking about, and are ignorant of the risks of using VirtualBox. That VirtualBox extension pack? That aint free... well, it is for personal use only because they're not shaking individuals dow

Friends dont let friends use #Horracle software. That includes VirtualBox, MySQL, Horracle Cloud. Just step back. Walk away. Do not pass go, do not collect $20000 lawyers fees for unintended actions.

And it's an important distinction. We've seen this name come up in different ways in different time periods. Recently, it's 'late stage capitalism'. Or it's a failure of neolibetalism as a monetary policy. And

And we're shocked... why? These aren't real contractors, with complex tasks, negotiations for 3-5x salary of a normal employee. Ive done that. No benefits , but paid EXTRAORDINARILY well, like on the range of $300/hr But &quo

Cool. I'll just use my "block adblock-blocker scripts". They already exist. But some will be inconvenienced. Us pierats won't be :D http://reek.github.io/anti-adblock-killer/#filterlist

I'll choose piracy, adblocking and freeloading. It saves me money for actual physical goods. So... Which do YOU want to pay? I'll choose to escalate the ad-adblocker-block adblocker war. Winning so far.

Seems like a way to normalize social profiles to have a loose federation across multiple services. This could lead to pierat@coolsite.com@discord.com and use discord as a federated source of truth. Yeah it's painful, but it doesn'

Indeed! I have 4 library bookshelves (7 foot tall ones). And they're packed with books. *Bought* books. But dealing with more current "online books" are a fraud. They 'sell' these books, but in actuality they'r

I've heard people bandy that trusim my whole life. And I find that for like 99% of us, it's just false. Or, you do find your 'dream job', and pays $17/hr no benefits, cause it's a non-profit. (Aside: I've

I would have loved to be able to rely on Pine products. But they are all garbage-tier unsupported crap. Their modus operandi is to take reference circuits, splatter on a few peripherals to IO lines, make a case, and call it a day. Happen to

My current job, with 20 days PTO plus federal holidays is what I get per year. If I get sick, it comes out of the 20 day pool. If I want a vacation, comes out of the 20 day pool. At least, thankfully, I'm a remote worker, so I won&#x27

Sigh, that's not always easy with many of the people here with "unlimited PTO" without guaranteed minimums. Most of the unlimited clauses are based on manager approval. The base HR justification for unlimited PTO is to not ha

Yes, I am an unabashed 'pierat'. I've talked about that elsewhere in comments. And it's because I've been screwed time and again is why I'm solidly in the pro-piracy camp. I've paid enough. And buying legi

Yes, it is a good analogy. And you're correct that this is not chattel slavery. However this variant of slavery requires that we sell our bodies to whom will buy them. Instead of a lifetime commitment, it's per hour. I will never

This looks like time to bring back the original reddit: Usenet. The people make content. The people post content to groups they're on. The people are the moderators of those groups. But reddit profits. Seems like the old federated solu

Right now, on the http(s) web, when you request a file, the provenance of that file is linked to the domain name and the HTTPS traffic. On IPFS, the provenance of a file is its content hash, not some server you downloaded it from. On IPFS,

It's funny you say that, but it was Linux that really got me to double down on actual piracy. I tried to get a Netflix subscription. For a long while, nope. Wouldn't work. Even now, Paramount streaming specifically excludes Linux.

The bright side is that Linux is NOT a roach motel. And your data is your own. And being a 'pierat' I've already seen Sony institute 'dont play torrented content on PlayStations'. And that was the PS3. I completely
