I don’t have access to Twitter’s balance sheet, but I’d wager a guess that they’re on financial life support in the short term, and they’ve got a stage 4 cancer diagnosis in the long term.

The only thing Twitter has going for them over a competitor like Mastodon or Threads, is their name. And Musk has made sure their name is covered in shit and mud.

Twitter was doomed before Musk bought them, and they’re super doomed now.

You’re missing the point.

Pornography addiction is a real thing.

I don’t think citronella actually does anything.

If she is gone … What will the community do then?

I think Empress disappearing would be a net-positive for the cracking scene.

If there is nobody cracking the latest releases, the pressure will mount for new crackers to enter the scene. And perhaps we’ll get a new generation of crackers that bring some competition back into the space.

There’s also a lot of money involved in pirated games, with shops in poorer countries selling cracked games for pennies on the dollar to people who would otherwise be unable to afford, or even download the latest games.

So it’s my opinion that denuvo cracking will never go away, it’ll just evolve over time, like it has since the beginning.

It’s not that they’re obsessive over social media, they’re just used to being able to simply look up general information about people online through social media sites. And if you don’t present anything for them to find, it often encourages further digging.

But you do you, I’m not trying to change your mind.

I have thought that way before.

But nowadays I have a different perspective. I’ve got everything I need to be happy, and that’s enough for me.

You’re not going to be obsessing over all your career achievements on your deathbed, you’re just going to wish you had spent more time with loved ones.

Employers and romantic partners can be especially put off if they can’t find any trace of you online. And if they really care, they’ll dig harder to find that time where you declared bankruptcy, or you got arrested for public intoxication, or where someone deep in your past said something negative about you, and that’s all that will stick in your mind when they think of you.

For me personally, having a simple, but relatively barren social media presence is worth it to avoid the persistent diggers, who will find something about you if they don’t see anything public.

And besides, everything about most of us is already stored in Apple or Google’s datacenters. There’s no hiding from the deeply intrusive data collection those companies do. So having some simple information out in the open is likely better for privacy in some ways.

If you disagree with my take, that’s fine, I just wanted to give another perspective.

u/AngryBeaverBeaver : OP, why do you even bother posting here when 90% of replies are bots?

OP : I’m sorry, but as an AI language model…

I pay a few bucks a month for access to a giant plex share.

It’s worth it to just, watch stuff, basically anything, instead of fiddling around with different apps and subscriptions and all that.

I’d happily pay a lot more for the same legal service, but it doesn’t exist.

Studios, if you want my money, make everything available in one spot for a reasonable price. Or, continue your bastardization of everything, and I’ll just keep watching your stuff anyway.

I was gonna say the same thing but then I saw the 2200-something upvotes.

This community is doomed to be exactly like the low effort meme sub r/piracy if people keep upvoting this lazy content.

I don’t think anyone would even notice next to the garbage that’s already served by default on Reddit.

Motherland if I’m not mistaken.

Plex DMCA’d my private server a few months ago.

So I cancelled my Plex Pass and moved on to greener pastures.

They seem to be doing everything they can to get rid of their foundational userbase so they can attract… Ad supported free TV watchers?..

What morons are running the show in Silicon Valley?

Advertisers keep pushing for a more and more obtrusive browsing experience, while shoving consumerist junk in my face to try and drain my wallet.

And I’m just supposed to be okay with that?

Nope, I block all the ads I can.

Isn’t karma just like an anti-spam mechanism that barely works?

And you get karma just by posting whatever the community wants to hear. So it’s not like it shows how enlightened you are or anything.

Anyway, one thing that bothered me about Reddit’s karma system, is that people would delete their comments if they got a few downvotes, even if they had something important to say.

Here on Lemmy, you can quickly see both upvotes and downvotes. So if someone says something controversial due to politics or whatever, they’re less likely to delete their comment because they can see “ahh, I’m not just being mercilessly attacked, 50 people upvoted me.”

That can be abused I guess, but I like that it promotes discussion that isn’t just echo-chamber nonsense. We’ll just have to see how it works in practice.

Every billionaire uses charities.

They’re a way to exert control over the money that would normally go to taxes, and be up to the government to spend.

It’s not inherently bad, but charity is not quite the saving grace of billionaires that many make it out to be.

“We don’t like that you’re protesting against us shitting on our users, so think about the users, and stop protesting against us.”

What about port forwarding opens Mullvad up to more scrutiny from law enforcement?
