CaptainBasculin,

Similar to what happened to Netflix, competing services will harm this process. Currently the most comparable to old Netflix is the Xbox Game Pass; which if companies like EA and Ubisoft pulled their games from; it would be way less prefered.

As the profits that come to these companies decrease, they’ll be more tempted to focus more on their own subsctiption platforms. Game industry has this trick up its sleeve that some games can be played 1000s of hours, but even adding games of this nature; satisfying every player with a single subscription service is impossible.

CaptainBasculin,

Which site is this? If the site was big enough, most people should be able to pinpoint it.

CaptainBasculin,

I’m looking for full assets; can anyone give a magnet?

The source filesize 4.3GB seems really odd for a >100GB game. Why is it like that?

CaptainBasculin,

If you dislike it that much, just create your own instance. No one’s stopping you there.

CaptainBasculin,

I don’t know if uTorrent does ratelimit torrents someway (they shouldn’t be by theory), but it being adware is enough of a result to switch to another torrent client.

I’m more of a fan of Deluge, but alternatives like qBittorrent / Transmission are solid choices.

CaptainBasculin,

If you’re not doing stuff with them; not much point.

Since these devices have ARM processors, they can be embedded to places that doesn’t need high power and contain smaller volume; unlike PCs. You can host your a Jellyfin server on one, host a pi-hole so that you filter out every internet traffic from ads on another. Maybe a small FTP server that you can use as cloud storage?

Is it possible to get a virtual credit card for a different country?

I wanted to get my mom YouTube Premium for her birthday but don’t want to pay the ridiculous annual price for my country (especially since she mostly just watches YouTube shorts). She uses an iPhone so trying to get adblocker would be too much of a hassle, especially if it stops working. She won’t be able to figure out how...

CaptainBasculin, (edited )

Another alternative could be Google Play gift cards from cheaper countries. You can buy Youtube Premium through it. Look up their currencies and search gift cards with that currency.

CaptainBasculin,

Look up compression methods, work out which would work best for your needs. Maybe re-encode your video files with H.265 which offers lower filesize for similar quality, or decrease the frame rate of the video files.

CaptainBasculin,

Every fediverse site can interact with each other; so to ban interacting with lemmy.ml; you’ll also need to ban the entire fediverse; not to mention the oncoming new fediverse capable sites. Pretty much a piracy hydra situation but each head can be linked to each other, with the exception that fediverse sites hosted on India might not be able to reach the sites banned on India.

If lemmy.ml gets banned, you can still follow communities there using another fediverse site like lemmy.world or mastodon.social.

CaptainBasculin,

FBI is a terrorist organization

Xenophobia is to racism what homophobia is to ... ?

Is there a word that means “a hatred of gay people”, rather than “a fear of or aversion to gay people”? Surely there are people who simply hate homosexuality without necessarily fearing it, and vice versa. Someone who hates homosexuality should probably be condemned for their unreasonable and hateful prejudices, but...

CaptainBasculin,

Sexism.

CaptainBasculin,

Not often this is the case, but when it is; it’s always “fuck my seatbelt got stuck, let me pull it slowly”

CaptainBasculin,

I use this too on my laptop.

on a related note, help I’m too used to my i3wm config and now I cant switch to wayland at all, what do I do when xorg gets fully depreciated

Pirated video games SOURCE CODE

So there are multiple sites&groups that pirate video games especially on PC. I was wondering if there are places on the internet where you find source code for games especially the highly modifiable ones like Half Life 2/Portal and Skyrim. Or groups that crack into the source code of games (or even software in general), not only...

CaptainBasculin,

Doom was open sourced later. An example of a game that got reverse engineered just fine is Super Mario 64

CaptainBasculin,

Hunger Games works in quite a dystopian setting that politicians in US wouldn’t allow; so I can see Trump being impeached immediately after this suggestion.

However, assuming that this isn’t implemented as a life-in stakes Battle Royale and instead as a sports event improved with Augmented Reality (all weapons are simulated, no real deaths); it could be a fun event to watch. I could see myself betting on athletic people.

CaptainBasculin, (edited )

Highest killcount listed is 300 as a single individual.

So 301 would be a fun world record attempt

Linkedin is the only social media I would reccomend to put yourself out (as in, put your successful projects in) as it’s used more as a networking tool to land yourself in better jobs.

Fuck other social media. Anonymity is best.

What's the purpose of multiple quality profiles existing in parallel in Radarr/Sonarr?

Well hello there, I’m diving into the *arr suite of things currently and am trying to setup everything to my usecase. I think I mostly already understood, how a single quality profile works within itself, like upgrading quality and so on. But what I didn’t get yet, why would I want multiple different quality profiles to...

CaptainBasculin,

Allows you to set which quality you want on each show you want specifically. Maybe you’re looking for an old show in its original quality and not some improperly upscaled version.

CaptainBasculin,

Each of these sites Tachiyomi uses are compliant with DMCA. Not taking it down on them and instead crippling Tachiyomi is literally the worst action to do.

What's the deal with the private trackers?

I’ve read on reddit I think that if you are torrenting using a private tracker you’re gonna be fine even without VPN. The question is: isn’t the tracker is just a server that leads my torrent client to the pieces of the file on the seeders? And the connection between me and the seeders is p2p, isn’t that type of...

CaptainBasculin,

Private Trackers are solid options if you’re looking for some data in a specific niche that public trackers don’t offer quite well. Their signups are controlled by admins which makes harder for media companies to go in and send cease letters to torrenters. This does not mean they can’t however.

On a public tracker, anyone can be part of the seeding chain without any authentication; meaning they can monitor who’s torrenting what pretty easily. However for each private tracker, there has to be a seperate infiltration. Combining limited signups and being invite only makes hunting for them difficult.

To find them, you’re gonna either look at tracker forums’ open signup threads as a beginner; or if you know people that could have access to these trackers ask them for invite. Most private trackers have strict seeding rules, so seed them according to their rules.

CaptainBasculin,

Private trackers are also quite easy to delete accounts in anyways

CaptainBasculin,

Can the comments please stop finding a reason to pirate? Not everyone needs reasoning to pirate.
