  • most of stack overflow, IT subreddits and SEO content farms that regurgitate stack overflow data summed up in two sentences.

  • Snarkiness, snobbery, walking on eggshells, opinion downvotes and in general the unbearable attitude of most redditors.

  • Sadly people will still jump there. It will eventually overtake Mastodon in numbers because people are dependent on the convenience of walled gardens.

  • '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.

  • Back when I was a teenager I had the blind optimism the future would be bright and we would keep all the positive trends we had in the early 2010s.

  • Somewhere in countries that don't respect American copyright like Iran

  • The next closest one is the only one open in Atlanta and it's exploding heads.

    yeah pass 💀💀💀

  • What are you talking about i have tens of gigabytes worth of flacs from slsk

  • 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.

  • full of pilk

  • I second this, powermods are cancer.

  • 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.

  • Have you ever been a Minecraft server admin? Have you ever been in a Nintendo fan space? These places really hate pirates

  • Shady blockchain service with almost no traffic except for some spikes in 2021.
