dangblingus,

Black Ops 3 was always humbling. Hard carrying lobbies all night and then get absolutely wrecked by a team of gravity spikes.

It's funny how google pretends the music on YouTube isn't straight up piracy and everyone just goes along with it

Most people have extremely weird ideas of what’s considered piracy and what isn’t. Downloading a video game rom is piracy, but if you pay money to some Chinese retailer for an SD card containing the roms, that’s somehow not piracy. Exploiting the free trial on a streaming site by using prepaid visa cards is somehow not...

dangblingus,

As long as they get to profit from it and not you, then it’s not piracy for them. If a record label wanted to sue Google, they would have a hell of a time.

When a Torrent disappears from 1337x, how do you find out what happened?

Yesterday there was a controversial movie torrent that was getting 1000s of downloads and was on the “popular this week” page, and today it’s just gone. I went to the uploader’s account page and it’s not there either. Just like it never existed....

dangblingus,

So the thousands of movies labelled YTS and YIFY aren’t actually YTS and YIFY?

dangblingus,

Yes. Same thing with hair salons. Many tattoo artists are regular working class people who pay money to the shop owner to be able to have a chair/bed to tattoo people on.

dangblingus,

Okay, that’s insane. Part of the social contract we have in tipping culture is that your server is supposed to be a superstar. Crazy nightmare dinner rushes aside, no waters???

dangblingus,

Sounds inconvenient! I take it back. Secure yes. Convenient no.

dangblingus,

As opposed to using debit or credit, which is also owned and controlled by all of the major credit card companies.

dangblingus,

I see your youtuber, and raise you Scientific American with quotes by actual doctors and nuclear technicians. In detail, the article explores all of the myriad ways that nuclear power is the opposite of kissable. My fav? Illinois isn’t on a fault line, but they send all of their spent nuclear fuel to Nevada, where it is stored on a fault line.

How to install Skyrim

I downloaded the game files, mounted the .iso files and added the game to setup.exe to my steam library and installed the game under the mountpoint. When i click play in steam i just get back to the installer. Running the SkyrimSe.exe in steam(located in the CODEX directory) doesnt work. I use Arch Linux.

dangblingus,

Your comment runs antithetical to this server, but I agree. Skyrim has been out for 12 years and it’s surprising that OP doesn’t already have like 3 copies of it. Sometimes, piracy really is just a service problem.

dangblingus,

Imagine if they didn’t throttle the resolution to 720p. No one would have been able to watch anything for 2 years.

How private am I?

I think we all draw a line between privacy and convenience and I think I found mine and settled into a comfort zone of sorts. I use Fedora 38. My browser is Mozilla Firefox with it’s “strict” setting. uBlock origin and uMatrix. When I need/want to use a site that doesn’t work due to blocked connections I relax the...

dangblingus,

They also use Facebook messenger, which famously is not social media.

dangblingus,

The common narrative of WW1 is that it indeed was started by a single person. Gavrilo Princip assassinated Archduke Franz Ferdinand which most people agree was the inciting incident that caused WW1.

dangblingus,

You… missed the point of the article completely.

dangblingus,

I’m not worried about public forum posts, I’m worried that 3rd parties are storing metadata on me and my devices in insecure databases.

dangblingus,

I mean, if libertarians didn’t openly discuss the age of consent and the differences between pedophilia and ephebephilia, maybe people wouldn’t think they’re all a bunch of pedos.

dangblingus,

Not that I’m outright disagreeing with you, but in what way is he an idiot? He went to Rutgers and has been a pundit for a decade. He knows his shit when it comes to history as well.

What VPN do you use and why?

If you are a pirate VPN is an essential tool. I am trying to ascertain the popularity of various VPNs in piracy community. In this excerise, I will list several Popular VPNs in the comment if you use one of them just upvote that comment and reply the reason. If you don’t find your VPN listed add a comment with just their name....

dangblingus,

Hey OP, maybe switch to your alt if you’re gonna be weird and fake online.

Disney is gouging customers with a near doubling of subscription costs. (sh.itjust.works)

Disney is raking its customers over the coals with a 75% price hike for their annual subscription (originally $80.) People wonder why piracy is on the rise.Multiple commenters are saying I’m off base about the 75% price increase. My payment less than a year ago was $79.99. Here’s the proof.

dangblingus,

Weird. My monthly rate is going up by $2. 75%???

dangblingus,

Expecting your login to work on 2 completely different domains is like… a 90s internet question.
