I’ve often been having issues with FitGirl as well. Dodi repacks have always worked for me though.

Yeah, and in terms of LinuxRulez, you can find their stuff on zamunda.net (use a Bulgarian proxy like nqma.net but keep in mind nqma can be finicky. And you need an account for zamunda. Don’t use a password you’ve used anywhere else, I wouldn’t trust them with it).

You can disable JS or use LibreJS to disable proprietary JS code.

I pirated it anyway. I owned a PS4 copy, pirated it on PC, played on both and greatly enjoyed myself both times, and sold the copy to second hand reseller (Cex) that I buy all my games from. I neevr pay full price and never support the industry. The only digital copies of games I have are either ones that were free for a time, or ones that are free forever. Until the gaming industry stops releasing half-finished products, and stops overworking their employees, I will keep on not passing my financial support their way.

if you’re traveling, use a VPN

Is there a way to circumvent that? VPNs usually come with a speed decrease

Yeah. I was once installing Linux, and decided to open firefox in the live environment and watch a video on YT. Ads. Close tab. Reopen tab. Ads again. Fk it, installed Ublock Origin in the live environment and just watched the video. No ads.

If you have a good party to vote for. I’m in the UK, and I’m not so sure if any party deserves my vote.

theshatterstone54, 10 miesięcy temu

Yes, but if they destroy their products (aka drive users away) their real customers (ad companies) will pull out.

theshatterstone54, 10 miesięcy temu

YES! One of the creators I can keep on watching when I quit (by the end of the week probably, or when they kill off newpipe)

I know. This was just the intelligent person view. In reality, as you said, they only care about short term profit, and can you blame them? Things can change overnight in the tech world. Google (as a product) was undisputed until ChatGPT was released and integrated into Bing, now Alphabet is falling vehind and losing its dominance on the market.

Fair enough. The thing is, do I vote for the near-anarchists, that, save for the anarchism, align with my principles? Do I vote for the party that is further away from my ideological beliefs, but doesn’t have the anarchism, and is a bit larger? Or do I vote for the main opposition, which is even further from me ideologically (and doesn’t seem to have much of a clear vision)?

Less viewer numbers to show to advertisers.

Thanks, I will keep that in mind.

Okay, but then we still have the problem of FPTP. If I’m in a Labour dominated constituency and I vote LibDem, my vote wouldn’t matter cuz Labour will win anyways. And if I live in a Greens Stronghold and I vote Greens, my vote wouldn’t really matter, as they would have won with or without my vote. The way I see it, your vote can only make a difference in a constituency where there is no clear winner, and it’s everybody’s game.

Please correct me if I’m wrong in my assessment of the situation.

You can jailbreak it and play homebrew games, aka pirated games and play game mods.

AND offer good stuff! AND make it actually convenient and worth the money. A single streaming service at $15 a month, no more, that has all the “exclusives”, be it Stranger Things, The Mandalorian, or Rings of Power (okay, maybe not that last piece of garbage). Then I would consider paying, and only if it is truly more convenient and offers better quality with less buffering than pirate streaming. Until then, it’s a pirate’s life for me.
