Yeah but John made a good throw, it was up to us to field it

Just when you thought AI couldn’t suck harder, they build a pump that pulls all the water in the world to this one location

Never speak of our team again in such a heathenish tongue

As a new Englander, this is bullshit. No one says “Yankee” means “Vermonter”, what the hell is that? Lived here my entire life, that ain’t a thing

Pirating is copyright infringement. In other words, you infringed on the rights of the copyright owner to dictate how their “copy” is used. In this case, the term “copy” is being used as in “collection of writing”, not the common colloquial synonym for “duplicate” - copyright was invented before video games, after all ;)

So in other words: no it’s never been theft

I’m with you but we need to find a way to keep the crazy fundies away from power first.

Too many in the USA at the moment, and the fascists are exploiting their willingness to march to their doom

DRM should be illegal. If we have devices that can copy information instantly, it’s not our fault that it’s incompatible with capitalism - seems like capitalism is incompatible with nature. Find a new business model.

Lutris is AI slop now

I’m so peatpilled. I’m bogmaxxing. I’m at the peak of my fungus era.

Did the maintainer of that project post it here trying to get traction and everyone was sus AF about to being vibecoded and using cloud based AI models to parse tracker listings? Maybe that was in the selfhosted com

Millennial here. “sike” is a Bone Apple Tea. It’s the equivalent of those “when you smell his colon” memes (misspelling “cologne”). If you use “sike” I consider you a dumbass; you really should know better.

That being said, it hit just right when the Piranha Creeper said it:

You know that when an instance defederates from another, it doesn’t kill the users, right?

Everything in my area was in probate or was falling apart - would have taken months and just as much money to make them livable (I’m talking collapsing plaster, leaky windows and roofs, asbestos, unfinished renovations, etc). It’s a great area but NOTHING was for sale (our agent said the amount of homes on the market at the time was less than 1/5th what it normally was). We had to fight against house flippers and corporations for bids (and we lost two) and we only had 30 days. I didn’t want to move my daughter out of the area where her friends were nearby and the schools are good. I can’t rent because no one allows pets anymore and we have a large dog. We didn’t want to quit our jobs and try to find new ones in a market where it was unlikely either of us would find work in our field (and it’s only gotten worse since). No matter what we did we were going from renting at around 20% of our net income to buying around 45%; even at a smaller place; even renting, it would have been the same. Honestly we made the right decision moving where we did considering what else was available.

But besides all that

No one would have had to panic buy while trying to save their lives that we worked DECADES to get to because of someone else’s infidelity or whatever if that bitch didn’t give us the boot for her own selfish reasons. Which is why: fuck landlords. Which was the point of my post. Why should my life get turned upside down because of some fucking cunt and her greed and/or divorce? Why even have a system where she can spend my paycheck for 10 years and then just flip me the bird?

Why don’t you go fucking lecture someone else, asshole.

Holy shit spot on from “based on February one”, “so important to elevate that”, “let me just piggyback on that”, “without getting into weeds here”, and that “rIgHt?” At the end lol

My landlord was like this until she saw housing prices increasing. Decided to divorce her husband and take over the property we were living in. Because of the state we live in and that she had not signed a paper lease with us that year (and we did not bring it up for fear of rent increases), she kicked us out with 30 days notice, after never missing a payment for nearly 10 years. She did move in but now the place is rented out again.

We anded up buying a house by crushing all our savings and overbidding with inspection waived in a market full of house flippers and corporations at the highest prices of all time. We make high salaries and our housing costs tripled, just in time for Trump 2.0 so now all of our other costs are doubled. We are house poor and living like we used to when we had a shitty apartment right after my wife graduated college, when we made less than a third what we do now.

All the progress just to be backstabbed by a landlord. No, I don’t trust them, I don’t trust any of them. Mao was right.

I think some form needs to exist, even under communism; or else how would you earn for your labor without someone else taking your work and exploiting it?

I agree it should be like 10 years though, and infringement shouldn’t be some wild number, takedowns 100% should not be “shoot first ask questions later”, etc

useless eaters

Isn’t this a fucking Nazi trope for disabled people and the “lazy”?

Replace “reaction videos” with “brown people” and you might understand why it’s a bad idea to outlaw annoyances

I fucking hate how many psycho types got into computing

Mega used to be called MegaUpload and it was just plain ol’ cloud storage. US media companies coordinated with the NZ government and apprehended Kim Dotcom in NZ and shut down MegaUpload. Dotcom had money and lots of lawyers, so he’s staved off being entirely destroyed and formed Mega, which is E2EE and so he cannot accept any liability because they cannot know what is being stored.
