lemann,

For a short period of time GTA 3, VC and SA were removed from storefronts… replaced with the “GTA Definitive Edition” which was essentially a buggy mobile port, ported back to PC, not supporting any of the existing mod ecosystem.

During that time the only way to get your hands on the real “definitive” versions of these games was the high seas.

I believe the originals are restored now, but IMO Take2/Rockstar have fully lined pockets already so 🏴‍☠️🚢

lemann,

They probably scan audio tracks uploaded to music sharing sites, a few online streaming services do this for video to identify accounts ripping the content.

If you’re doing it for personal use I see nothing to worry about

lemann,

Crunchyroll used to (very blatantly) but I don’t think they do that anymore.

No idea of any other on-demand streamers using it unfortunately, however WWE, warner bros, FIFA, formula 1 and a bunch of sports organisations with their own subscription service use this tech in a transparent way to kill IPTV streams quickly

lemann,

Particularly stuff outside of the human hearing range, if i’m not mistaken thats how Dolby Pro Logic & PLII surround worked

lemann,

Freetube on desktop + newpipe/libretube on mobile is pretty much my combo. I very, very rarely visit youtube’s site directly anymore lol

lemann,

All of what this person said!

I still use public trackers though, mainly because I want my seeds to actually benefit others, not fill up some arbitrary private tracker counter.

lemann,

3rd slide still living rent free in that dragon’s head to this day lol

lemann,

Is the Shxtter link pointing to IG?

lemann,

github.com/FireMasterK (the piped repo admin)

lemann,

I thought the piped accounts did exactly that, or is it only playlists that sync?

lemann,

Whoever designed that seems like they have something against transmission lol.

For me personally: it gets the job done, is allowed by most private trackers, fast and responsive, has a functional webui, and a very vast selection of third party apps (in addition to the cross platform first-party offering)

It’s simplicity is kind of its selling point. Only real criticism I have is that it’s unfortunate some of the supported features aren’t accessible in the first party apps, and especially from the lightweight web interface

lemann,

Interesting, from that data it seems SSD reliability so far isn’t too far off from HDDs (at least for Backblaze’s intensive cloud storage workload) despite having no moving parts…

Will be interesting to see how the reliability plays out as they build up their SSD inventory over the coming years

lemann,

Globalization and capitalism babyy

Not a fan of the latter but that’s life ☹️

lemann,

For me personally, nothing, apart from “I use it on other devices so I’ll use it here too”.

Moved from Google to DDG a few years ago, I have no reason really to move to another search as i’m satisfied with duckduckgo, but i’m eyeing Kagi.

DDG has been fast, responsive, works fine when proxied via a datacenter IP (unlike other services that start throwing capchas at you), looks familiar/like Google to the untrained eye, and image search works as you’d expect. If you’re coming from google, to be honest there’s no reason to pick it specifically, there are a wealth of search engines to choose from.

Approaching it with google-style searches often yields shit results. My search style adjusted over time, and now I find it much better than Google for my use.

As a sidenote, I’ve found Searx and Yandex are better for niche/unpopular sites (especially those with user-submitted content), as well as 🚢🏴‍☠️.
