Adding to the discussion, if you want to watch anything that’s not mainstream (i.e. non-western, or arthouse), you’re basically supposed to either wait for it to stream on Mubi or get a Blu-ray/DVD (that are often out of circulation if it’s more than 5 years old). So the only real option is pirating.

When was that last time? In the last 5 years, except for brand new graphics cards, I’ve never had any hardware that didn’t simply work out of the box.

And for the first question, it works much better and breaks less often (these memes exaggerate for comedic effect, usually it’s rock solid), has much greater privacy, and it’s free.

Usually, yeah. But when Coffeezilla’s involved, I’m here for it.

I don’t, because I switch it with something better if something like that happens.

This is why I exclusively play indie offline games. Also because my PC is getting old lol.

I feel like the Steam Deck is the best proof of Gabe Newell's quote that "piracy is a service issue."

They could have easily crammed the Steam Deck full of stuff to make it hard to use for piracy - locking down everything, making it usable only to play games you legitimately own, force you to go through who knows what hoops in order to play games on it. That’s what Nintendo or Apple or most other companies do....

Games are one of the very few things that I always pay for. Steam is mostly responsible for that. Also, music. But nowadays I do store some of my own music because I can have lossless that way.

You’re making this way more complicated than it actually is. The guy definitely can give estimates for when he parked the bike and when he found out that it was stolen. It’s not that complicated.

They do, actually. I use Jellyfin with https certs on a free ddns from desec.io

I’m kinda in the same boat, except for a specific private tracker. It’s a local private tracker which has a ton of exclusive stuff in my native language, and most of the users also speak it so there’s a communal aspect to it. But otherwise, yeah. I also tend to prefer public trackers, especially for more mainstream stuff.

I can’t permaseed for tv shows due to storage limits, so I use autoremove-torrents to automatically delete stuff based on the tracker.

For a total newbie, Linux Mint or PopOS are probably the best options. But EndeavourOS is getting there. There shouldn’t be any issues during the installation if one sticks to the defaults. Only thing is, it doesn’t come with a graphical package manager out of the box. But once that is installed (I think anyone will be happy to write a single terminal command, at least), I don’t see why it’s any harder to use than any other distro.

SexualPolytope,
@SexualPolytope@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

Yeah, I’m talking about EndeavourOS. I don’t see what got you confused.

Right? Who in their right mind cancels Mindhunter?

Lol. Checks out for me. Have an Aeropress, and use Arch (btw). I also have an espresso machine though, but never really touched Gentoo.

The Debian one should be a French press. Old and reliable.

It’s very easy to clean and travel with, though. But yeah, it’s very close. Especially if you use a metallic mesh.

No because then you might get decent coffee sometimes. Chromebook is getting coffee from a 7/11.

Manjaro nowadays has become a hassle. It used to be really solid around 5-6 years ago. I had it for 3+ years. Then it started breaking a lot. I switched to EndeavourOS 1.5 years ago, been solid since. The jre/jdk issue was pretty painless to deal with as well.

I'm currently downloading a show that is on a service to which I subscribe

I have a Galaxy Tab S7 and for a trip to Spain I downloaded some stuff to watch on the flight. When I got on the plane none of the stuff downloaded on Disney+ would play. Maybe an issue with downloading to the SD card? I don’t know, but regardless Disney offers SD card as a download destination so they should make sure it is...

I always pirate media even when I’m subscribed to a service. Most streaming services act up because I’m on Linux.

Mine is a KVM. It’s tied to a specific instance and IP. Changing the IP is not free.

Oh no. You can shut it down, and turn it on all you want. But you’ll retain all your data and IP address.
