The people using Reddit for its data have the easiest time scraping it for its data since they don't need API access to post, comment, or moderate; it's unfortunate that Reddit management continues to degrade the experience of the average user just to make it slightly harder for that scraping to occur.
The Pirate Bay celebrates its 20th anniversary today. Founded in 2003 by a collective of hackers and activists, the small Swedish BitTorrent tracker grew to become a global icon for online piracy. The rebellious torrent site has a turbulent history and clashed with law enforcement authorities on multiple occasions. Despite these...
I'm always on the lookout for more games like Freelancer, but it seems like a bad sign if they don't want people seeing gameplay footage only two weeks from the game's release date...
While most space games admittedly only overlap somewhat in the context of space dogfight battles, from what I've read the player is able to fly the ship between planets, space stations, asteroid fields, etc? Bit too FPS-focused and not enough economic-focused for my liking in contrast to Freelancer, but the games seem to at least share that in common.
I like watching things like educational tv or some competition shows if they are objective and have good sportsmanship… stuff that definitely does not appear in the top ten list, probably not the top 50 list. Assuming I should not mention show names here but will mention on DM if woul;d help....
Have you found a private tracker that works well for documentaries? I've tried TorrentLeech, FileList, MVGroup, and usenet so far, but my to-find list still has several releases I have yet to find in 1080p (despite most such documentaries having released since 2010). MVGroup is the best tracker for documentaries I've found so far, but they tend to upload lots of documentaries a tier below their optimal resolutions (ie 2160p documentaries in 1080p and 1080p documentaries in 720p).
Ive always noticed some suspicious profiles on private trackers, where they have enormous ratio stats even though they don’t belong to a VIP tier/class. How do they achieve this? Do they use softwares like greedytorrents or ratioghost? If yes how do they go undetectable by the mods? I’ve been looking up some remote forums...
Having only 4 Mbps up and 24 Mbps down, without Freeleech building a buffer would have been impossible, particularly when competing to seed torrents with people with faster internet speeds. In the case of TorrentLeech, the best option is to invest ~2GB of your buffer into downloading and seeding 100 10MB+ torrents, giving you 4 TL points per hour. In combining the gradual point gain with the rewards of the easily attainable TL achievements, after a month you should be able to accumulate 5000 points, enough to purchase 100GB of additional buffer from the TL marketplace.
Unfortunate that the majority of r/piracy has no backbone, but do we at least still have control of the megathread? In order to build up this community over the one on Reddit, I think any references to the subreddit should be removed, as anyone who doesn't understand the severity of the actions of Reddit management will decide...
I'm sure everyone lately has noticed there's a tonne of hate on the privacy subreddit, with every new post/comment there getting more and more aggresive than the last...
The problem is that as long as the majority of Reddit users continue to not care about the actions of Reddit management, our spinoff communities are less likely to attract newcomers than their subreddit counterparts, which will continue to have a greater proportion of people. Another problem is that the division inherent to the Fediverse puts us at a disadvantage, as while most content is the same across platforms, kbin and lemmy users seemingly can't DM each other and the potential of having several miniature r/piracy equivalents across different Fediverse instances (as kbin.social/m/piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com is admittedly harder to remember than kbin.social/m/piracy) leaves us divided where r/piracy itself will likely remain largely intact, unfortunately.
While I plan on updating a post I had previously made to Reddit concerning the best puzzle games I know of divided into puzzle "subgenres", if people were willing to submit information about additional puzzle games such a concept could be expanded into a database of puzzle games to help as many people as possible find the puzzle...
In cataloguing my collection as a means of quickly knowing what I have and haven't yet acquired, resolution is one of the variables I make note of. While most movie releases are at best 2160p and most TV releases are at best 1080p (with those in 2160p having inconsistent season availability at that resolution), a fraction of my...

As I'm not a fan of the new Steam UI, I added the -vgui launch parameter to Steam on my laptop to revert the UI to how it was before. As trying to do this on the Steam Deck in desktop mode told me I didn't have sufficient permissions, I tried it again after using Konsole to take ownership of the Steam shortcut, however even then...
Had to use sudo to do it, but it worked. No message about permission issues appears when I try to save the changes to the Arguments tab anymore, but they still don't save when I reopen the permissions window either.
As neither public nor easily-accessible private torrent trackers are actively seeding some of the releases on my list, I was wondering if usenet may have at least some of them. Before getting usenet indexer and provider subscriptions, however, I had several questions:...
Too many posts weren't federating with kbin so I had to make a lemmy account to avoid missing comments from non-kbin communities, so hopefully the federation issues get fixed at some point.
