Early access developers in shambles rn

It legitimately was the worst movie I've ever seen

That's funny, mine had its flux capacitor warming up :)

It wasn't a lie from tech marketing, people genuinely acted this way.

It has faded a lot in the last decade, but it was definitely a prevalent mindset from people my age around 2010.

If only. It was completely taken over by the empire. Darth Vader's throne is built on Mustafar and the planet was used as a mass grave for the dead from the Great Jedi Purge, as well as serving as the location in which Inquisitors were created, specifically taking force sensitive infants and training them there. It was also used to replace the cloning facility lost on Kamino. A bit after all this Vader is given the planet and connects with a Sith Ghost who helps him build a temple to harness the unique force energies from Mustafar to (edit) try (end edit) bring Padme back to life.

Most of this happens in the Darth Vader comics, however Mustafar does show up again in an arc of Rebels.

(I know this is just meme I just thought it was interesting that there was a fair amount of importance for Mustafar and was used surprisingly well for canon development. We just didn't get to see any of it in animation/live action)

Usually that's not so much the developers but the publisher that the devs have to abide by.

Not a true answer, but I have found a number of Chinese shows on nyaa, si.

I think that user may be referring to Empress herself, not the commenter.

As in, Empress doesn't need to be using slurs to make her points.

I agree, why not have all of the funds go to servers and the engineers+teams and the rest of the profits go to artists that make the service possible

The idea is that agency is under duress/not coming from a sound state of mind

In this regard it's about the ability to pirate, which always comes down to the classic "it's a service issue."

The need for pirating this software wouldn't exist if the license check wasn't broken, but since it is, it's now the only way to access it regardless of your ownership or not.

Louis Rossman/FUTO's YouTube app, GrayJay, now supports Sponsorblock... and shames you if you use it

Seriously this was very surprising. I’ve been experimenting with GrayJay since it was announced and I largely think it’s a pretty sweet app. I know there are concerns over how it isn’t “true open source” but it’s a hell of a lot more open than ReVanced. Plus, I like the general design and philosophy of the app....

Do these particular advertisers asks the influencers to show their statistics?

I mean, wouldn't the creator have to take a screenshot and send that info in? How do the advertisers even know people are skipping through sponsored segments?

Also I've never understood. I'm not going to buy a subscription service because someone I watch is offering it. If I want it I'm going to buy it regardless whether I've seen its ad or not, and the creators are just offering a discount code that can help them as well.

Lost views is not lost sales. That's just stupid.

You also don't have to set it up to skip automatically, it will play through with a popup option to skip.

It's usually in the network settings of the torrent client. Usually listed with "IP interface binding" or some such.

Qbittorrent has it as a dropdown menu with a list of available IP's to use, as well as an option to set it manually.

I can't speak to what you're looking for specifically, however I can give you an idea of the level and type of noise you could expect.

With a local server I built with 3 standard 8TB HDDs, the "noisiest" part of the whole computer is the fans itself - it's very quiet compared to say, a fanned air purifier on full or maybe even half power. I've never actually heard my hard drives from any of the computers I've built in the last 6-8 years, and I'm usually right by them. If I listen very closely I may hear some ticking/spinning if they happen to be ramped up.

So under load, there may be a chance of hearing some of the spinning disks in a quiet room, however I haven't actively heard an HDD since 2012 - though the size you're going for could be different as you mentioned. I can't speak for the 18tb sizes. As for the smaller external HDD's, I have 3 6TB ones running in tandem and it's pretty much the same, I've heard them ramp up slightly but it's nearly silent even under load it's more of a gentle hum. If there were any noise sources like music it would be unnoticeable. But again, the size may play a factor.

You mentioned it's right by your bed but would your active hours align with the backups? I.e. if you run them overnight from 2a to 8a, you'd already be asleep for the backup. If it's noise that prevents you from sleeping that may help.

Disney has acquired Marvel over a decade ago (14 years). They are closer to producing 2 decades of Marvel content (6 years from now) than they are from the date of the initial merger in 2009.

It's very similar for Star Wars which was 2012.

They also still make original kids shows.

It gets more complicated if someone is double-natted (CG/NAT) unfortunately.

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....

wolfshadowheart,
@wolfshadowheart@kbin.social avatar

It has 2 votes and the second comment just hasn't been voted on. But I also use Windscribe - the only thing to know about it is that there's been a probe. I personally feel that they handled it well and were transparent about it. Every VPN is going to have this happen to them at some point so IMO it's about how the information is delivered to the users that determines how trustworthy I find them.

Ah that would make sense lol

Compared to Amazon, where they rip right from the server lol

Faking Pixel 5a

I’ve read on reddit that Google still provides unlimited photos backup if you own Pixel 5a and lower. On rooted Android you can fake that and get free backup storage, but who wants to give pictures to Google?! I was thinking if it’s possible or done by someone to create an environment on Docker by faking device info to...

wolfshadowheart,
@wolfshadowheart@kbin.social avatar

I know it's not the point, but I do think it would be easier to set up a photo server than to hack around Google.

Even something simple like syncthing is very easy

Didn't microsoft recently push something to prevent these from working?

It was more than a sub to meme on things you/to dislike, it was more like Oh Gosh Why Would This Exist Thanks I Hate It!

Have you ever imagined a bird with teeth? What about a gif of a needle going into an eye? Or maybe a nice chocolate milkshake in a butt-oriented sex toy.

Why do these things exist? Thanks, I hate it.

It had occasionally funny posts, more worth checking once every few months for a laugh rather than being subscribed to.
