Dbzero seemed good until they mentioned anarchism and anti-right-wing directives which means it’s a leftist-first instance and that’s a no-go even if I do support their cause.

Back in 2014 you just bought a spare and replaced it, nowadays they all want to play the same bullshit games Apple innovated on. It was was about time an authority that ruled over a market with significant purchasing power made a decision against it.
You paid $100 for a battery replacement!?!? My Galaxy S7’s second battery cost us $12!
Not being bri’ish
Just kidding, I’m neither lol
That yellow background is so unreadable 🍌
There was a project called Yacy but it clearly never took off.
just like RSS feeds did not become mainstream while Reddit did, the current state of the fediverse will not gain mainstream popularity; however, it’ll serve as a stepping stone towards a new federated internet that’ll be seamless and intuitive for non-technically-inclined individuals and those who are indifferent to the implications for privacy and digital freedom.
97% of people will only jump from walled garden 1 to walled garden 2
97% chance of being EEE. Suddenly everyone will be coming to the Fediverse but not because they’re interested but to talk to people on Threads. Then they’re going to deviate from the AP spec slowly and become the de facto standard and so on. Or they’re going to pull a Google Chat.
‘Hey trader, please open up to non-buddies temporarily, even at a crippled speed. I’d like two items from you. You know Soulseek is a sharing platform, right?’
Will try it, thanks. Seems more civilized.
Don’t stoop to their level by blacklisting, either. They will take that as endorsement of their behaviour. (Set 20kb/s down if it makes you feel better.)
Thanks for the tip. That seems like a better punishment.
Somewhere in countries that don’t respect American copyright like Iran
What are you talking about i have tens of gigabytes worth of flacs from slsk
It’s happened a couple of times by now, last time was the developer of node-ipc being roasted for shipping malware in production that thrashed hard drives if it detected a Russian IP address
Discussion at the end degrades into name calling
I feel you, I have one of two known sources of obscure Russian albums in FLAC and I’m more than happy to secure its future by sharing.
Fuck traders, if you’re on Soulseek do the right thing and blacklist them.
Soulseek is very much alive, try there. But please try to share your stuff too.
I didn’t know anything about the drama. Thanks for the heads up, will investigate.
I spent a sizable chunk of my childhood playing SNES games on emulators, it is thanks to both piracy and preservation I got to have the experience. I actually respected Nintendo back then and had a Wii with a small stash of retail games. Well, I still have the Wii but it’s softmodded and has a 16 GB SD card full of games and homebrew but since Iwata died so did my respect for Nintendo. Imagine paying for P2P multiplayer and near absence of cloud services.
Nowadays I only get devices I can mod and customize by any means official or otherwise. If I wasn’t a full time student and I had enough money and time to spend I’d get an OLED Switch to mod and play all sorts of stuff, it could be a nifty tablet to both work and play with.
None of these things above are possible without piracy.
I like AI’s immense power but using it to replace human interaction with corporation-controlled LLM API bots is a ridiculous idea.
I bought Terraria and Geometry Dash just to support the devs. Also some Valve games as a reward to them for pouring so much effort into the Linux ecosystem and contributing all their improvements back to it.
I have nothing against Canada itself but it being a US core ally means it’s not safe for piracy.
