Evkob, to piracy in Recent Research Papers Piracy
@Evkob@lemmy.ca avatar

If the author of a paper isn’t excited at the idea of sharing their work with an interested party, I’d honestly immediately question the value of their academic contributions anyway.

Stremio + Torrentio + Real Debrid is the smoothest piracy experience I’ve ever had. I even coached my dad on how to set it up through chat, it’s that easy.

Evkob, to fuck_cars in Rishi Sunak diverts £8.3 Billion from high speed rail to... fixing potholes

Ah Canada, where 50% of the population lives within the pretty narrow Québec City - Windsor Corridor and yet we don’t have any decent rail service, let alone anything high speed.

I live out in the Maritimes, so this isn’t even something I’d directly benifit from, but it’s one of the most frustrating policy failures in this country for me.

The fact that this exists makes me so happy. I doubt I’d ever use a smart buttplug, but I’m oddly relived that those who want Bluetooth up their ass can do so using open-source software.

Evkob, to fuck_cars in Vehicles with higher, more vertical front ends pose greater risk to pedestrians
@Evkob@lemmy.ca avatar

I get where you’re coming from, but without context your point comes across as more of a “all cars are dangerous therefore we shouldn’t bother regulating oversized SUVs” rather than the “Yes SUVs are particularly dangerous but let’s keep in mind that all cars are dangerous” that you were aiming for.

Lower-fronted cars may cause more severe lower body injuries, but likely cause less severe injuries overall because the point of impact isn’t the torso (which is where humans keep a lot of their important bits and bobs).

Evkob, to piracy in The IT Crowd - Piracy warning
@Evkob@lemmy.ca avatar

I prefer people posting the original source, and I’ll just let LibRedirect (on desktop) or LibreTube (on mobile) switch the link to my preferred Piped instance. I don’t want to use random instances.

I feel like most people who feel strongly against YouTube will have it set up similarly to where you automatically get redirected when clicking a link anyways. You can always offer up a Piped link in the text box or the comments as an alternative.

Vaguely conservative people love to claim that “you can’t joke about anything nowadays!!” but everytime I ask for an example it’s either completely banal stuff like this sketch, or it’s just straight up bigotry with the thinnest veneer of “a joke”.

Like, sorry that calling a trans woman a guy or saying weird shit about Muslims isn’t funny in 2023, but good god get some fucking actual material.

I prefer keeping original titles, but it’s so easy to add a couple lines of context in the text section of a post.

Evkob, to piracy in I know this is not how dbzer0 works, but can you help me get cs 1.6 working on my linux system ?
@Evkob@lemmy.ca avatar

Have you tried jc141’s package of it?

Evkob, to piracy in I know this is not how dbzer0 works, but can you help me get cs 1.6 working on my linux system ?
@Evkob@lemmy.ca avatar

I’m not here to argue semantics, I’m just going off what the instance admin posted, specially section 3;

Magnet Links and links to Torrent files are OK, unless we start getting into trouble for it.

If dbzer0 has started getting into trouble for it, I’ll gladly delete my comment.

Evkob, (edited ) to piracy in I know this is not how dbzer0 works, but can you help me get cs 1.6 working on my linux system ?
@Evkob@lemmy.ca avatar

It isn’t a direct link, it’s a link to a page where you can download a torrent file or get a magnet link. I thought this was allowed in this community? Maybe things have changed, in which case I’d gladly delete my comment.

Evkob, to piracy in Where can I find the detailed rules for Real Debrid?
@Evkob@lemmy.ca avatar

From Real-Debrid’s help section:

You can use your account from any public IP address but you can’t use your account from more than one public IP address at the same time. If your devices are connected through the same router, they are getting only one public IP address and you can use as many devices you want.

So long as you’re not simultaneously connecting through two different IP addresses, you’re good.

Evkob, to asklemmy in What are some of the things you say / think to yourself when going through a hard time or dealing with uncertainty to help yourself along?
@Evkob@lemmy.ca avatar

It sounds ridiculous, but I always tell myself “What can you do when you live in a shoe? Move down the block, live in a sock.”

The absurdity of it helps me deal with the absurdity of the world.

Evkob, to asklemmy in In which game did you spend the most hours?
@Evkob@lemmy.ca avatar

I’m surprised I had to scroll down this far to see someone else mention TF2. I clock in at around 2019 hours, although probably around 500-600 of those are from idling (remember idling?!)

Last time I played was in 2019, and last time I played before that was also a couple of years. But for a while, Team Fortress 2 was my life. I eventually got into surfing, and poured SO many hours into that across TF2 and later CS:S.

If anyone who used to frequent Omega Arcade’s surf server on TF2 ends up reading this, Mr. Asplundh says hi! ☺️
