Why would anybody want this?

Ultrakill is one of those rare examples of media where I genuinely feel a large amount of guilt if I pirate. Great community, super responsive (and largely queer) development team, incredible game…

First time in forever that I’ve actually bothered to buy a game without pirating it first. So here’s a hot take that goes against everything I usually stand for: pirating indie games is kinda bad.

With all the recent studio shutdowns and a largely saturated market, it’s becoming harder and harder for indie game developers to make a living. I hope everyone remembers to support independent projects they truly enjoy - be it music, games, or any other piece of media - because otherwise we’re going to end up with only 3 game studios that pump out the same homogeneous bullshit every year.

Describing a high intensity DDOS attack on one of the world’s most important resources as simply “mean” is unironically one of the funniest things I’ve read this year.

Hope they get some support soon.

Well, this sucks. PayPal was great for only having your credit card information in one place - now it looks like I’ll have to risk it with every website.

YEAH!

YEAH!

YEAH!

no.

Yeah. I’m hoping bcachefs ends up being good.

That’s weird. I’ve had zero issues with BTRFS and I have both compression and snapshots.

Have you looked at bcachefs, by the way?

Decent use case. You do use snapshots now, right?

INTERNET FUNNY NUMBER LET’S FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOO

:(

But, seriously, I’m pretty obsessed with piracy stuff and have spent an insane amount of time poring over lists like FMHY so it’s like trivia to me now

I’m terminally online

Bitcoin was both a massive failure and success - a failure because it ended up not accomplishing its biggest goal of being a bank killer, but a success because it demonstrated not only the demand but that such a system wasn’t a complete moonshot.

XMR 2 da moon!!!

BOOM! Only works for non-official / premium from Ultimate-Guitar, so I don’t know if that’s what you wanted. This works for Songsterr, though.

I know you can download stuff from MuseScore for free and MuseScore has guitar tabs but I don’t know if you can download guitar tabs directly…

I remember when people on Twitter lost their minds when somebody posted a picture of a 1 TB MicroSD they got for their Steam Deck

There’s a lot of equations that go into this.

• Where are you located? A lot of countries don’t enforce laws - Switzerland, Poland, and Spain even permit torrenting for personal use. Third world countries are usually pretty safe.
• What internet are you using? If you’re on your own WiFi at home, a VPN is mandatory if you don’t want nasty letters. But if you’re doing it on, say, Macca’s WiFi, you’ll be fine. Bit of a dick move if a lot of other people are using the internet, though. It’s also worth noting that some internet providers not only prohibit it, but also detect any BitTorrent usage.
• What are you torrenting? More obscure torrents are less likely to have bots scanning for IPs.
• Are you seeding? Seeding and/or uploading torrents without a VPN is insanely risky, because not only does it expose your IP for longer, you’re also committing the crime of sharing copyrighted content (which is prosecuted far more often than merely downloading), so unless it’s a torrent that’s close to dying, your best bet would be to leech and run.

It’s also worth noting that there are ways to download from torrents without even having to run a client.

While I personally love LibreOffice, I get why your mom might not. It’s super easy:

1. Download and install Office
2. run irm https://massgrave.dev/get | iex in Powershell and follow the instructions
3. Profit!

What doesn’t she like about LibreOffice, out of curiosity? It’s easy to make the layout like Office (View > User Interface > Tabbed) if that’s her problem - I felt the exact same way, but the second I found out I could do that, I never went back.
