unabashed shills

Damn I’m a shill now :( sorry I enjoyed be able to game when I didn’t have good hardware.

Cloud gaming is not for everyone but just cause some people found use in it doesn’t make them a shill. Everyone I know from cloud gaming circles only used it till getting a decent PC or console

I used it for a good few years when it first was a thing. It’s pretty decent when you are close to the server and have stable enough connection. I played quite a through few steam games this way through geforce now. Even cyberpunk 2077 was a great experience on it.

It’s a great stepping stone between getting new hardware but once I finally got my PC I just stopped using it.

Now gfn was the only good implementation cause it used your existing steam (and I hear now Xbox) library, instead of being locked to the app itself, so you could even see it as a extension to your setup

I’d imagine most people using YouTube aren’t looking for TV/movie style content, rather the user created stuff. Or maybe TV shorter clips.

This is true. Best use is still using something like soulseek for offline files but algorithm actually let’s you discover outside of the same couple dozen bands

If the release is on Deezer, you can use deemix and you can get a arl with some easy googling

I’ve been into gaming since as long as I remember. My dad played halo 2 when I was a baby. First game I played tho was Lego Star Wars The Complete Saga.

I’ve always read 3+ back to back as a form of satire or sarcasm

As a rad tech, I work as little as 3 hours to as much as 8-9 on my 10 hour shifts

Since you bought it, in theory you’ve supported the creators. Pirating it is 1000% fine in that case (or in any case)

In reality all the people who actually worked hard to make the film has been paid long before you bought it and the only creators getting the money are the owners of the companies. Unless you are buying from the creators source.

I thought the title said nose rings and was like where do I sign up?

I guess that would explain why I never use other formats, the compression itself isnt important to me, just being able to send a folder of files without a bunch of uploads

Really can’t relate, I only use 7z and compress to .zip it’s literally the most common format and I never use zip files for anything other then sending files.

Honestly I don’t even know what the real difference between the compression formats are, even as a sorta Linux using geek

Tried on a spirit flight recently, didnt work

You should be able to transfer the Playlist to qobuz (the app will do ask if you wanna do this using soundiiz) and use qobuz-dl with a free trial to download the playlist

Locked down software is shit don’t get me wrong, but being able to jailbreak it feels so good.

Setting up accounts on last.fm and/or listenbrainz is a must for those who want to track listening habits, make charts etc. See https://feddit.de/c/scrobble if you want help setting it up.

Yeah, I’ve spent more money on smaller bands through Bandcamp then I ever have on streaming services, all thanks to piracy, since I realized it’s much better for offline files.

Yes the effects would be terrible for everyone, that’s why I am against it.

The meme is a good case of correlation doesn’t imply causation. In countries where vpns are a must they might have better overall download/seed because of generally better internet. (Which also isn’t always the case, plenty of places in the USA have just as shitty down/up

Sticking to FOSS and decentralized apps as much as possible. And using less invasive apps like Firefox over chrome. Be willing to jump shit when corporate throws in bullshit if you have to use something closed.

This is the only way to slow the spread of enshittification around the web. It will be less convenient for the end user, but ultimately it’s the only way to stop big companies from fucking the web
