The best thing about steam is you can buy keys from other sites

The worst thing about those sites is in most cases it results in the developer being ripped off because the keys are either stolen or purchased using stolen credit cards.

Countless devs have said they would rather people pirate their games than buy keys from those sites

honestly, would rather use a linux ~ libreelec/es based device

android is just wasted overhead when it comes to emulation

Or what are some films that are significantly better than the book they were adapted

One of my favourite books, High Fidelity. I think I am in the age range and demo it was written for, so much rings true. When I heard there was a film coming out I was so excited, and then I read it was being moved from London and re-set in Chicago, and my heart sank.

Boy was I wrong. John Cusack was great, Todd Louiso was histerical, and it was Jack Black’s breakout performance. (I honestly am not sure he has been funnier since)

And the Chicago setting 100% worked, better than London would have

you aren’t paying for volume of content available, that would only make sense if you were subscribing directly to reddit or lemmy as you would with netflix, disney etc

revenue goes to the app dev, and sync for lemmy and sync for reddit have i would presume, identical development and maintenance costs.

your logic is like saying that fuel should be cheaper for a 1.4l mini than it is for a ferrari

That said, I do think £18.99 lifetime just to remove ads is a bit extreme, its certainly not affordable for me. That’s more than a year of Ultra without the extra features. I think sweetspot for “pro” edition that has no ads certainly would have been sub £10, especially when im gonna be a large volume of users have dns that removes ads anyway and really the “pro” is just a “one time donation” kinda thing

yup.

I’m on several linux channels, and im a mod on a fairly busy mental and physical health support site.

(the latter also has a web interface so 95% of the young un’s dont even realise they are on IRC)

Im on IRC daily

exactly this.

The first rule of Fight Club…

There’s a few providers who have lasted the course, some as long as ten years, but they don’t have superiptv.xyz websites, they don’t have facebook groups, or twitter accounts. They rely on word of mouth and handle their business on telegram/discord etc

The other 30% are the COD players currently missing somewhere in Ukraine

I think Beehaw have a fine idea.

I think they picked the wrong platform for it.

Liverpool and Falmouth Town (Step 5)

Born in Lancashire of a Scouse mother, with scouse parents, so was put in a red shirt when i was a bairn and that was that. Been a red for many decades now…

Falmouth, we moved to when I was about 13, and the bulk of my late teens and early 20’s was spent following Falmouth up and down the South West. Now 400 miles away, but still keep in touch with their results every week. Finally back in the Western League after having to drop down in the 70’s because of the travel cost.

Also keep an eye on Daggers results. We moved to London when I was about 3 and Leytonstone was the nearest football club. They merged with Ilford FC, they in turn became Redbridge Forest, and in turn merged with Dagenham. For a similar reason have a soft spot for the O’s, and cheered on the Hammers in Europe last year as long as we arent in the same competition.

but… the modlog is public… there wasnt a huge swathe of users banned or modded by beehaw

A de-googled huawei.

Honestly, i care less about the Chinese knowing what time i go to bed, when i get up and the fact i rarely leave the house, than I do having google knowing literally everything :D

F-droid for apps, nextcloud for my contacts, calendar, bookmarks etc

All nextcloud data gets mirrored with rsync to a second drive, so it’s in 3 places, original source and twice on the server

Databases are backed up nightly by webmin to second drive

Then installations, databases etc are sent to backblaze storage with duplicati

Independent artists: buy physically in person or online, or digital from bandcamp.

Mainstream or in affordable stuff: rip flacs from deezer

Bootlegs/live stuff: archive.org

Everything on a self hosted airsonic instance

All subdomains on apache proxies… its a bit of a mess though. Whenever it comes to update something I can never remember how I installed it. Theres a heady mix of script installs, deb installs, source installs. I’ve got Gitea ready to update but I have no idea what method I used to install it :')

So you telling me there’s hope? #Mbabpe2024
