Here’s my piracy shtick.

I beat half of Blasphemous on a pirated copy then I bought it, moved the save file and kept playing.

Criteria: I like the game. I’ll probably play it again in ten years and I want to support the devs.

What would’ve happened if I never pirated it? I’d be saying the same thing about someone else’s game.

Nothing, but it will do wonders for my portfolio. Take the good with the bad.

nothing to see here

Another $1200 to vaccine development companies, Fidelity and make it snappy.

Just don’t look over there.

The only actual solution crypto does have is, as one would guess, encrypted transactions.

Banks have a use for it, financial institutions who want to send money from A to B have a use for it. Countries in civil war and strife who need funds and are blocked on most other methods have a use for it.

I don’t get the “doesn’t have a purpose” meme when it’s written right on crypto’s sleeve, and it is used for those purposes, and does a good job of it.

If a website creates its own cryptocurrency that means they are in control of it. If Reddit, Plebbit, and Brave really gave any sort of a shit about crypto as it exists, they would’ve used LTC or BCH or something easily transferrable that can’t rug because it isn’t in their hands to rug it, but then that defeats the purpose of milking short-term gamblers of their funds, which was the entire point.

“and just where are all the buses?”

…G…Gaza.

Note: very dependent on a recent yt-dlp on your system. Install it manually using yt-dlp from their website and drop it into your path unless you use Arch or something bleeding edge.

I use a FF extension that routes videos to mpv from the context menu.

For my phone, I use Vanced

For my Android TV, I use Smarttube.

Jam band / Americana. They’re in the same game as Bruce Springsteen. They’re just not in the same league.

Yeah but no one cares if it’s on 4chan. You expect it.

I usually delete it and pick a different torrent.

Oh no, all those poor users, forced to use that website and those apps!!

You know why we say it’s the year of the Linux desktop, every year?

Because every year is the year of the Linux desktop.

I would’ve almost considered those downloads as reported in some way. Debain does queries into package use. Figured it might trickle down.

How much of that is just new users doing their 23rd Arch install?

Brave? Isn’t that the crypto-scam browser? Same people?

Just saying, dev… if you’re reading this.

Could’ve been you, mate.

Just sayin…
