Hello, kids! Pirates are very bad! Never use qBittorent to download copyrighted material, and certainly do NOT connect it to a VPN to avoid getting caught. Additionally, you should also NEVER download illegal material via an https connection because it is fully encrypted and you won’t get caught!
“In the real world, we learn to control desire, postpone needs, and resist temptation. This lesson also applies to the digital world. Stealing is wrong and punishable,” it adds.
Yeah these chumps are total tools that’ll just boost piracy even more. How do you fail this hard at talking to kids? If you tell a teen to “postpone needs,” you don’t deserve to be around teens.

“None of this, of course, need apply to the ruling class, who lives entirely to sprint ever faster on the hedonic treadmill, demand the planet burn faster for profit, and indulge every possible temptation no matter how cruel or inhuman.” lord-bezos-amused
I love Linux, use it regularly and even work with it professionally, but gaming is still a nightmare.
I tried one of these torrents for some small game, and couldn’t figure out how to install it. Then I gave up and bought Spider-Man on Steam, tried to run Spider-Man through Proton but the performance was crap (supposedly it works great on Steam Deck, but not on my NVIDIA laptop despite having all drivers). Finally I gave up and installed a dual-boot of Windows.
That's unfortunate, it really does run well on Steam Deck. I'm dealing with my own NVIDIA issues trying to get hardware acceleration and it's not been fun at all.
I cannot say that I love Linux, in fact it annoys me daily lol. I want things to just work and itends up wasting tons of my time to get only part of the functionality I was hoping for. The Steam Deck has been great, though my media server at times has made me wish I never wanted to self-host in the first place lol. (been kicking around various attempts at varying levels of success since 2017). From here, tl;Dr I am very stupid, I'm well aware, but also why is Linux so complicated? It seems counterproductive to need to be so heavily invested in something when it's goal is to keep you more hands off so you can focus on other tasks?
I feel like a broken record but I really want some medium between having full control over my OS and things just working. It doesn't help that there's OS specific syntax making anything outside of official documentation a hail mary. I've no love for Windows either but I've only been limited by it a couple times and I just wish I could say the same for Linux.
Of course, the limitations I've reached through Linux are entirely my own incapabilities, but that's kind of my issue? It seems redundant to have to know the entire ins and outs of it when the point of getting these tools to exist was to mitigate our tasks? I make music, art, I wrote and have a bunch of tech hobbies. I've spent time learning, but goddamn I just don't have the time and as time from the server hobby passes and I'm basically starting fresh. I just want some inbetween from needing to know the entirety of my OS and being locked out of it. It just seems that this hobby more than others, at least for me, needs to have the most consistency while having the least consistent sources of information due to immense level of knowledge that there is as well as the fragmented nature of each distribution.
On another note, I find it amazing how much easier Docker and its tools are in Linux than it is for Windows. Now that's funny! And it seems poignant to your issue as well... Some software is made for certain things, and translating that can throw a wrench in things. Docker on Windows, like NVIDIA on Linux, just weren't made with each other fully in mind and as a result have been made to retroactively "work".
Which is really too bad. It's pretty unlikely that something like Rocksmith2014 will ever work smoothly out of the box in Linux - it can be made to work with lots of work but... You can also just dual boot windows. Unless you're extremely familiar with the OS, chances seem high that the entire process of downloading and installing Windows then downloading and installing RS2014 will take less than 1/3rd of the time.
this is one of those things i wouldn’t pirate. maps and weather are extremely important when sailing and having legitimate sources of these things is something you should be doing. you wouldn’t pirate a first aid kit would you?
I know my school will sometimes use last year’s CC versions because they’re familiar with it, and it’s been tested to work with what they want to teach, so it won’t just break or not function as expected out of nowhere. Now why they use 2020’s version in 2023 is beyond me, stuff generally does not change drastically in 3 years.
My understanding is that Usenet providers are responsible for making sure they don’t distribute any copyrighted content to you unless they have a license or some other exception to copyright applies.
The last sentence suggests that, in some cases, pirates can get content sooner than their paying counterparts. This availability issue is often seen as a main driver of piracy. While improvements can be made on the supply side, the course urges teens to postpone their needs instead.
Really? Who would’ve guessed that piracy is a service problem? How about you improve your shit so people don’t feel inclined to pirate it. Who’s gonna pay for a shittier experience?
Taking money for a 30-year-old movie is pretty much government-assisted stealing, if I’m honest. Copyright in the USA originally had a term of 14 years.
Here’s the thing: copyright term includes the life of the author plus a fixed period. So the works you and I nobodies produce will eventually become public domain after we die. HOWEVER, and this is just my underatanding of the laws and I’m definitely not a lawyer, not big name IPs because they are not registered under the human author, but a corporation that is both a person under the law and effectively immortal. So even if it’s two thousand years after George Lucas dies, Star Wars will still be copyrighted as long as Disney exists, and even if Disney dies, part of the process of corporate “death” is liquidation where they sell their IPs to the next asshole corporation.
Afaik you are not correct. Copyrights for a corporation also have an expiration date.
Except – The expiration date can be extended by just continuing to use the IP – Ever wondered why movies get remakes/reimaginings every 30 years or so? We meme about them being “Out of ideas”, but really it’s so they can hold down their copyright.
There’s a large possibility that your kids will be apathetic towards the media that you watch now. When’s the last time you listened to a song or watched tv from the 50?
(I can hear you typing right now; yes, I myself even watch the Adams Family and listen to psychedelic rock every now and again, but that’s not typical.)
