Total Recall

God’s, that’s beautiful!

They’re rad, and you don’t notice the crease when the screen is displaying anything. I’ve had the zFold4 and now the 5 and I love it.

Heh, RPG memes

Oh snap, it’s Pillboi!

That’s just cheesy.

Yes, I torrent Linux ISOs for any version or distro I want to install, and then I seed them until I download an updated version of whichever distro (and occasionally I’ll clean up old ones if I stopped using that distro but the version I have is ancient).

But of course when we talk about torrenting in public forums, it’s funny to only mention all the Linux distros we are torrenting and remaining hush-hush about other things we may be sharing.

Honestly, I just self-host. I download my ebooks, use Calibre to clean them, convert them to my favorite format (ePub), and tag the shit out of them with metadata. My Calibre library lives in a folder that gets synced to all my devices (I’m currently using a commercial cloud storage platform from one of the big providers, but working on spinning up a Nextcloud instance). Then I just open my ebooks in Moon+ Reader Pro on my phone and read away.

I think that’s a cool idea, but I don’t like it for unixporn. I always feel the *porn communities are just what you’re seeing – people sharing their pretty thing. Maybe they give details, maybe not. Maybe they interact and chat with the community, maybe not.

Considering the article is on Substack, a proud Nazi-supporting site, I would imagine it’s readers don’t appreciate Star Trek much at all.

In my country, while it is illegal to download or to share pirated content, our law enforcement really only goes after the big fish doing the sharing. Sites may go down, but as an end user, my only real risk is getting a DMCA notice from my ISP if I’m sharing data (seeding torrents) while not using a VPN, and possibly having my service disconnected if I continue. While technically I could be in trouble with the law, it is not really a fear in my country to be a downloader of pirated media.

Stronger legislation could mean laws that entice law enforcement to act on smaller uploaders or even downloaders.

Bookware seems to be audiobooks, but I’m surprised it’s so low on the list.

Tradition. We just thought it looked rad af in the demo scene and warez scene in the 80s and 90s and its just one of those timeless things that seems to remain cool generations later.

Is that more or fewer than Pathfinder?

Hard links cannot traverse filesystems.

You’re in the piracy sub. A large part of the conversation is going to be about the late-stage capitalism that is driving us to piracy.

Reddit used to have an open API. A lot of mobile apps sprung up to access reddit over the years, with different features. Reddit gained a lot of loyal members through users of these apps, but couldn’t make ad revenue off them. Reddit decided last summer to start charging a lot of money to these app developers to continue using the API. A few of the apps started a for-pay subscription model to continue operating, but many just shut down their apps. Many redditors and Reddit mods revolted, because these apps made the site usable (some of them offered advanced mod tools, etc). We protested, shut down subreddits temporarily or permanently, deleted our accounts, moved to new platforms (like lemmy/kbin), etc. This was basically a move to maximize their ad revenue while Reddit positions itself for an IPO. It was really not cool.

“solve”

to make your site good

unsustainable

I think you’re misunderstanding reddit’s goal. Over the past year, they have been in IPO mode. They don’t care about making the site good or attracting a healthy community. They want to cash out and are burning down any structures that are providing any resistance to that.
