Lemmchen, to piracy in BitTorrent Pirates Won’t Receive ISP Warnings (It Will Be Something Worse)

Can someone TL;DR the actual “worse” thing?

Plus, there are studies that show piracy can actually be a positive factor for sales in some cases.

Lemmchen, (edited ) to linux in How do y'all deal with programs not supported on Linux?
  1. Use alternative that is FLOSS
  2. Use alternative in the browser
  3. Try WINE/Proton
  4. Use Windows VM
  5. Use dedicated Windows machine

Also, slowly, their catalogues are removing some tracks due to licensing issues and I’ve already lost 20 songs from my library.

Honestly, this is what will eventually bring me to abandon Spotify. It sucks so hard not being able to listen to that one weird niche song you stumbled upon, but instantly fell in love with. And they never tell you “Hey, our license for this song is running out in six weeks and we won’t renew it. Better listen to it again while it lasts.”.
I wish I could just buy all the songs I favorited on Spotify and not have to deal with any of this absolute nonsense.

At the same time their recommendation engine is extremely good and that’s what makes it hard to abandon Spotify completely for me.

Lemmchen, (edited ) to privacy in What should be used for anonymous usernames?

I let Bitwarden generate my usernames for throwaway accounts. I don’t care if my username can be identified as Bitwarden-generated.

Lemmchen, to privacy in Plex starts narcing on its own users' anime and X-rated habits with an opt-out service, and it's going terribly

Ah sure, blame the victim.

Lemmchen, to piracy in What is the current state of the art of upscaling DVD-only releases?

If you have any interest in fixing the flicker, start by trying a different cable.

Lemmchen, to piracy in Uhhh oh

In software posted there, not in the forum software itself.

Lemmchen, to privacy in Is there any Firefox extension to automatically reject cookie popups?

addons.mozilla.org/en-US/…/consent-o-matic/

This add-on is built and maintained by workers at Aarhus University in Denmark. We are privacy researchers that got tired of seeing how companies violate the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Because the organisations that enforce the GDPR do not have enough resources, we built this add-on to help them out.

Nice!

Lemmchen, to piracy in Do you utilize a dedicated AV like Bitdefender when sailing? Or do you still trust Windows Defender to take care of the higher risk while doing this?

You care enough to write ignorant comments about it.

Lemmchen, to linux in Looking to switch to Linux in the somewhat distant future

neon.kde.org

KDE is the best desktop environment, period. Why not go with a stable OS base but enjoy all the current updates of your desktop, app suite? Introduction: KDE Neon

Lemmchen, (edited ) to linux in Can one recover from an accidental rm -rf of system directories by copying those files back in from a backup?

What system are we talking about here? The –no-preserve-root option is part of every modern release of rm.

Edit: Never mind, I didn’t read the post properly.

Need for Speed Most Wanted (2005)

Man, I loved that game. It was the last NFS I played, everything after that sucked donkey balls and required an Origin installation.
Any tips on how you got it to run? I have the ElAmigos release and I think I tried it once but didn’t have any success on the Deck.

Lemmchen, to privacyguides in Marketing Company Claims That It Actually Is Listening to Your Phone and Smart Speakers to Target Ads

What are you talking about? Which phone has parental control abilities like that?

Lemmchen, (edited ) to datahoarder in A dozen or two TB of storage for media on the cheap?

Unfortunately I’m not familiar with the US market, but in Europe we have sites like Geizhals (“Skinflint” in the UK) that are excellent at listing electronics, so you could source them for cheap: internal drives, external drives

If whatever you end up doesn’t have enough 3.5" slots, you can get these things on ebay to use them as a hacked together external housing:

You’d need to get the SATA cables out of your case though.

As for what drives to use: If you don’t need redundancy/parity, then a single 12 (14, 16, 18, whatever you need) TB SATA drive will probably beat everything else pricewise. I’d say that leaves you with roughly $300 for the system itself, if you need to buy a new one.

but doesn’t have any way of adding a bunch of drives

Well, you only really need one or two drives. Are you sure it doesn’t offer any SATA connections?
What about PCIe? You could use a cheap HBA card then.
