Good on Discord. If these corporate cretins want pirates so bad, do the work themselves, not push others to do the dirty work.

It makes me wonder, just what are the rich old geezer and young rich hustlers going to do when the planet becomes uninhabitable due to this? Go to space? There's no where to go and our technology is only good enough to get to the Moon and Mars. But there's no where to really live that's like Earth and the exoplanets we discovered, are beyond our reach.
So I am under the belief that these climate destroying rich people, just want to ruin things at the expense and survival of others.

It does. You aren't looking. I always feel a sense that I am talking to people from other parts of the world. Moreso than anywhere's else.

I want to say Middle-East, but that's not fair because it's a cluster of countries. It's hard to pick just one though, because a lot of countries in the Middle-East are batshit insane and allow extremism to dictate how they run the country. Extremism of any degree is just a bad thing to have around. It is technically, though scholars may disagree, the birthplace of Terrorism as we know it today.

Man, I'm still listening to an online show that hasn't released anything new since 2012. But the episodes I'm listening to, since there's different versions of the show based on different years of release. The episodes are now 20 years old and everytime listening to them back, it's like opening a time capsule again.
It's a very niche show called 2 Sense and it's hosted by a couple furries. It's a very acquired taste for sure and I won't argue with anyone that some of it's content have really aged like milk, but what there is to be found on there can be a bit entertaining.
It's just a show I visit so frequently, it's become white noise now because of how much I've listened to those episodes.

If you think this question is being asked too much, go and sit at AskReddit sometime. Count the many, many times you will see questions like 'Why are you single?' or "What would you do if someone gave you a million dollars?' or similarly worded questions. They are posted by the hour, almost nonstop.
You get a question like mine like once in a few weeks or a month maybe. But you hadn't seen anything until you check out AskReddit.

I think the Fediverse is the perfect platform for things like what you run. I also think at times how great the fediverse could be for those who're mentally struggling. Just imagine, a decentralized platform where not only is it separated from the general network, but it's an instance/server where people can feel safe and private. Also secure too.
You don't get that feeling on Reddit. People are telling sensitive stories out there for all to see on Reddit and anywhere else. They're unfortunately setting themselves up for the chance of anybody stumbling upon those tellings and could give them hell for it. Making them worse off than they already were.

You know, you actually hit the nail on the head in the context I had failed to articulate. Like yes the Fediverse does have some interesting communities, but they're communities we expect of the fediverse to have that everyone else has. But, it does not have a dedicated Nostalgia community, it does not have AbruptChaos or anything else. Just the basics.
And I think if more people took on tasks like running the communities while educating people the benefits of the fediverse, then we can see a bit more growth. Because the point of the matter is if people are desperate for a Reddit alternative, they're going to want to feel like they're home. If there's nothing here that's going to help make them feel that, then they're going to just stick to Reddit for better or worse.
We all know about keeping track of passwords, not to trust the wrong people, don't feed trolls, use adblockers, use VPNs .etc I'd like to know if anyone had some more minor ways to improve one's experience online. I have one. One is, is that sometimes not reading the comments on generally anything is a long-term benefit. I say this because, a lot of the time, like on YouTube, people just *removed* out stupid things like "WHO'S WATCHING IN 2024 GAIS?!". And it's just garbage reading that wastes your time. I also even avoid reading comments on Rule34 because a lot of time I just visualize overweight guys just oozing oils and smelling foul. All the while naked at home saying shit like "uhh huhuh i'd fuck her hard and fuck her brains out! I'm such a naughty boy!". Like, they'd be lucky if they can even see their pecker under so many folds. What I'm trying to say though is that, decide what you feel is worth reading the comments to than reading everything. It helps you go through things faster. Not everyone has interesting things to say, it just depends what content you come across. If it's porn, not worth reading all the cringe-inducing comments of people failing at dirty talk. If it's an article and you have curiosity, then feel free.

Slower spending meant that their prices suck. I mean, I've gone into a few Walgreen stores and their prices are just horrendous across the board. It sucks they chose greed than sticking around for people who need medication.

You know a platform is big when like nearly all states of a country have their own subreddit and their own userbase. It's like, that's impact there.
It's the same here, I check the front page and what do I see? Politics, politics, politics, a couple memes and maybe a news report that isn't politics.

Oh yeah I've noticed this tone too with them. Like with one ad, one of the Mountain Dew ones, they tell you to 'get off your ass' and stop putting your playlist on repeat with party remixes. Their entire message is your life and lifestyle is nothing unless you drink their shitty product. Like fucking hell I'm going to now that you're going to assume what my life is about and that I'm not smart enough to do anything else.
It's that kind of attitude that won't make me boycott the product, but directly go to any marketer to personally tell them off.
I know and can accept the response that say I should register to X site if I want more activity. I do plan to, least with Reddit, just biding some time before I make yet the 20th disposable e-mail and probably the 100th account before it gets banned again if I cross a glass person. Glass person being someone who's so fragile on opinions and things that they'll scream 'BAN THEM BAN THEM!'. I've been on KBin Social, Lemmy World (least 2 dedicated accounts), KBin Run, Mastodon, Blue Sky .etc And I'd stay for a good while but I also found myself bored immediately. I check for questions to answer, it's the same questions I've seen days and weeks prior. I check around for things that are reported and they'll be hours old and some of them can be years old. I love the idea of the Fediverse, I like some of the features that are implemented. Especially when you do ask questions on here and you're allowed to expand on it. Unlike AskReddit for example, they don't really like that and will remove your post because explaining what your question is about and backing it with an example is just unacceptable to them. I don't know. 43,000+ people sounds a lot on paper, but in practice, it feels like you're dealing with 50 people at any given day.

Whenever I read stuff like this, my mind goes a bit hazy. Because I'm just finding myself asking 'Why and when did the simple mechanic of passwords get this difficult?'
Maybe if password requirements weren't stingingly stupid, companies cared more about actual security and not an obstacle course they've gotta send people through to do one thing. We wouldn't ever know or need to know systems like this.

I don't care what your skin color is and you're the one bringing it up. Anybody from all walks of an ethnic background can possess the same levels of less intelligence with potential to sound like that.
You know, just because you tried sounding tough at the end, I'm going to be a deliberate ass by saying - fix your dialect. It's "I am working" not "I be working".

Facebook has no anonymity though. So it's different. You are sole responsible for who you allow yourself to add that now may know your real name.
I think people being assholes on FB with their real names makes filtering a hell of a lot easier.

Yes they have. They've just recently nuked on the Switch emulator.
And you can bet that if they could, Nintendo would go out of their way to sue any other emulator developer that emulates their games. The only things saving some of those emulators is technicalities like open-source.

Okay so I've watch some of the video and I'm annoyed by it. A problem in the video has been highlighted when it comes to indie games and that's genre favoritism.
Indie game development seems to have such a hard on for roguelikes, strategy and anything that is addicting with retro visuals. That to me throws a lot of red flags. He does show some other games from other genres, but the ratio is evident. A lot of the games don't really impress me that much and that's coming from someone who has already been spoiled with the best of what indie gaming had to offer in previous years.
That guy is also kindof annoying too. "I realllly want to play", "addicting" .etc

Sheriff Owens, on the other hand, argued that it was a simple business dispute that any citizen could have called in.
Well, does every other citizen have a vehicle equipped with computers, sirens and have the authority to basically break traffic at will for emergencies?

Give them enough time, they're going to bar eating and basic survival instincts. Whatever those are to them.
I hate knowing how much money is spent on them so that they can annoy us with every attempted second of our lives. What, you can't use that money to better pay your workers? You can't use that money to improve aspects of your company, so you're going to pay these groups of obnoxious pricks whose entire existence is to annoy people with your ads? The ads themselves are too theatric for me to care, I can't tell you the amount of ads I've had to stomach hearing through Spotify that makes me care even less about a product. They just take turns outdoing themselves as to which ad is the dumber of the bunch that night. Even worse are the ads that try too hard to reach for something that was 'hip' to do like 5 or 10 years ago. The lying in commercials. I've learned in life that some brands that aren't even the brand of choice, the best option available. I've been surprised on some of the things I've acquired from even dollar stores that somehow are better than the name brands. And even then, there's still lies projected from commercials that attempt to snag you in for money.

I'm a faithful follower of never using your real name in social parts of the internet. We don't need to know and we don't want to know. The only ones who would want to know are scammers or people wanting to give you a shitty time. I only use my real name online for people and places in where it's required like talking to agents from my bank, insurance .etc And very few friends know my real name through FB and the circle anyways.
Don't send nudes online to anybody. I know of some communities where people happily are flaunting it one moment then they make a post later whining about them being exploited or that they thought they were crafty hiding the nudes from someone they're married with. They delete it but they're too naive to think that what's already out there, has most likely been saved by hundreds by now, so you're fucked either way.
Another is, is that if you want to be understood, then you need to use proper spelling and grammar. I miss the days when you got kicked at because you used 'u' in replacement of 'you'. It's just two fucking extra letters you lazy asshole. These days saying stupid shit like; 'yah fr u tha fam' is somehow a complete sentence. No, I'm going to give you shit for it and if you want me to bother caring with what you have to say, fucking make some sense. I don't even get offended by insults when they're poorly spelled, it just tells me what kind of an inept moron you are.

Ads should never have to be a source of income for anybody, in the same vein that paying for tips having to be a source of income.
The problem are the fat-cats hoarding all of the money so they can piss it away by flaunting and throwing down those millions so that we can suffer ads at their expense. That is a problem.
Millions are spent on marketing, that's not a secret. You should sit down and think sometime, where those millions could've been spent on than just shoving ads and ads down our damn throats.

And we need to hold the people who allowed the company to break ground to provide us those utilities that lead to allowing us to pirate.
And soon we'll have to pass so many ridiculous laws to where we mind as well just go back to relying on oil lanterns and telegraphs.

Yeah, it is portfolio-padding. I see this happen all of the time. Like, I see programs and other technological products start as newborn projects. It takes 1 - 3 years average to see them blossom, they have their big break and then somewhere down the road, the creator(s) are looking for buyers. Because they've made this project now with the means of profit so they can live a life worry-free from all of the years they worked developing said project.
And you know, I get it, I mean I'm not going to disagree with the principle. Don't we all want to live worry-free with money for the rest of our lives?
But I do also get a tinge of hatred towards some of them because of the hundreds to thousands and even millions of people that have believed in them to use their products faithfully. And now they're facing a new entity, god help us if it's someone from a private firm or someone who's a shareholder ass-kisser. Because now we're going to experience the dip and we'll be troubled with moving on or sticking with the shit that now has degraded because the whole thing is entirely for-profit.
We all have our favorites that we go-to overtime to meet our pirating needs. We've also watched a lot of big names in this year alone, go down in a blaze of glory and others in a whimper. I'm awfully curious what, to you, is the biggest loss to date? For me it's Uloz, first thing that came to mind. Uloz has served me very well in acquiring music albums through them, for a good 6 years I recall that I used them for getting albums. When they decided to switch the way in how they do their service, that to me felt like a sucker punch. No longer can I just collect album names, find a sacrificial wi-fi network and go to work. I also remember missing ISOHunt, EmuAsylum, EmuParadise, OG Pirate Bay, AnimeSuge (soon HiAnime once the piss-ants of ACE get their way soon) and I really hope we don't lose Internet Archive. But with the way it's been hammered by shitty people and court lawsuits, I predict that it doesn't really have much time on it's side in the near future. All I can say is just thank you to all of those sources and of course the ones everyone is familiar with. Helped save me a lot of money, helped me increase my interests and eh, can't argue against free shit.

It has long stopped being useful for a long, long time. It is just but a symbol of piracy. It hasn't even had it's original creators for close to 10 years now? Maybe longer.
It's discouraged because it has lost it's place as the place to go to for pirated material. All you'll find is nothing but people slipping in malware on things you want.
