You are going to be trapped in a room for 12 hours with a mid 2000s office desktop with no internet connection and an external hard drive; what are you putting on the hard drive?

I’ve got some DOOM WADs I have been meaning to play so I would probably grab Trench Foot, Total Chaos, and the sequel to Ashes 2063, Ashes: Afterglow with a portable install of GZDoom to play them....

You wouldn’t download a Rick and Morty meme

The only time I see piracy as unethical is if you would have paid for it otherwise and it’s a small creator who will actually notice the lesser revenue. This covers very, VERY few cases because the vast majority of the time if something is good enough to want to pirate it, it’s popular enough that more than enough people paid for it to adequately compensate the creator.

Basically, are you hurting the creator’s ability to make a living by pirating it? Giving them less money when they already have more than enough doesn’t qualify.

Ah, Gaben’s “piracy is a service issue.”

Which of course makes no sense - if you don’t have the money to buy it either way, pirating has no effect on revenue.

It may be copyright infringement, but not stealing.

[Vote] Should we pre-emptively defederate Threads? (sh.itjust.works)

Threads will be implementing federation in the near future and many instances have been discussing whether they should be pre-emptively defederated to protect the fediverse. See below for our local discussion thread, which will remain active until this vote is complete....

Yes, but it’s huge, over 100GB. BG3 all over again!

I’ve never had a problem with them.

No, Denuvo was first used in Sept. 2014 and Fallout 4 came out Nov. 2015.

As soon as anyone can download a game, all pirates can too (unless Denuvo)!

Still downloading for me, but I see more than one review saying it takes a long time to get good. I’m keeping my expectations low.

EDIT: Glad I was warned it starts slow. It does get better if you stick with it.

EDIT 2: It entertained me for a week. It’s no Skyrim, or even Fallout. I would have been pissed if I’d paid for it.

Considering the “Explovid-23” virus we saw in the season teaser, you’ve got at least one more that is.

(more people in California voted for Trump than in almost every other state

Not almost, more did than any other state. More people in California also also voted for Biden than any other state!

you can’t really divide the country up geographically by left or right

Nope, it’s rural vs. urban.

It’s not useless - they’re not trying to keep you from coming here, they’re trying to avoid liability for themselves.

Ruud, the main admin, is in the Netherlands, the server is in Finland.

samus12345,

Because the company with the servers in Finland is German.
