I am not a velociraptor
Things they don’t need.
Do you really need a new phone every year? How many clothes do you have to buy? How many are in your closet still waiting to be worn once? And what about the car? How big does it have to be? Do you even need it at all?
Soulseek is your friend. Setting up your library will be a tough step, but once done, you’ll feel so free that it will be worth it.
Go figure. Probably they are going to monitor traffic somehow to see if you visit certain websites and if you stay on them for too long, they flag you as a pirate. I’m not concerned, I browse the internet through a vpn.
In Italy they are aiming to block not only soccer streams but any audiovisual content. And they are threatening to fine people using the sites, unlike before, when only the site owners could be prosecuted.
Depends. If we take from when I was a kid? Probably something in the hundreds of thousands or even in the millions. I pirated pretty much everything because I lived in a very small town with no electronics shop so I couldn’t even buy games.
However, in the last 8 years or so? I find that I rarely pirate games anymore. Bundles, steam sales and refunds allow me to buy without worrying about liking the game.
Music is also something I don’t pirate anymore. I’m not one needing thousands of tracks, but rather a small and select collection. So I occasionally buy from bandcamp or other services so I can keep the music I want in my jellyfin server.
Films and shows are a different thing tho. At home whave netflix, so for most stuff we go there, but if something’s not there, I’ll pirate it. So… idk but… some hundreds? I’m not a fan of movies and most of the stuff I watch (which is not a lot) is on netflix.
I just ditched spotify completely in favour of a jellyfin private server that works like spotify for me. If I want to get recommendations, listenbrainz gives me a weekly list based on what i listen.
It is crazy. Reason why I never do it. I can’t find a single good reason to use gift cards instead of money.
And for digital game preorders? That’s even dumber. The publisher is not going to run out of bits, if you purchase after the launch, your digital game will be delivered all the same. But I guess corporate shills need to feel that they are helping the poor multi million corpo…
Fun fact: cucumbers and watermelons are actually part of the same family: the cucurbitaceae.
Pregante.
How?
Oh well, I’ll keep “borrowing” my ebooks from other librarieZ.
You need to treat them like a religious sect. When you include the “faith” in the list of reasons why they do shit, it becomes easy to understand.
They are religious fundamentalists and are to be treated like such. Same way people don’t need proof to believe in their god, magas don’t need it either to believe in trump.
Move to a red state. Put up an activity as harmful as possible to humans while keeping it legal and making sure to remember everyone at every moment that you are doing this because there are no regulations.
You can’t convince a maga to stop voting trump with words, but you can force them if their only other option is dying for the lack of regulations.
Unaliving a nazi who wants thousands or even millions of people death is unethical? I’m going to disagree.
If you are sailing the seven seas, you should be using a vpn of any kind by default, so this won’t do shit to you anyway.
Italy thinks their crappy piracy shield works and it does jack to anyone using even the cheapest vpn.
Don’t quote me on this but I think the problem is the game tries to load EVERYTHING on the map, even if it’s not visible. So if your island has decorations and trees in a decent amount, frame rate will suffer a lot, and load times will increase absurdly.
AC runs poorly even on switch. As soon as your island gets some decorations or becomes complex, you’ll see tons of dips in performance and how the console struggles hard to run it. Not surprised the deck struggles too, the game itself is poorly optimized
Thumb-key.
It takes a bit to adapt and create muscle memory but I can’t change it now that I am used to it.
I’m testing this this evening. My only gripe with soulseek is that if I want to download a playlist from spotify, I need to manually search for each song.
