If people want to waste their drastically over priced food I’ll happily finish that shit. If people want to look at me weird for both saving myself money and stopping perfectly good food from being put in the bin, that’s on them, they are the idiots from where I’m standing!

Everyday. I feed the birds that live around me everyday, twice a day. When I get home from work they are usually around waiting, chilling in my garden, ready for some easy food.

It is nice to give them a space that they can mostly relax in and get some easy food, the city is fucking harsh especially for birds that a lot of people see as pests. I prefer these birds to most people so I’m happy to give them something to look forward to, some respite.

I feel your pain man.

All the tutorials I have read and watched say to “just” do x, y and then z and it will all work fine! It never does. I have spent multiple hours trying to get a few different repacks to work in a few different ways and it never just works as it supposedly should.

I got one game to run once after 4 hours and thought j had it figured out then the next day it didn’t work again xD

I now have two machines, one running Linux and one running windows for my DJ software and repacks, that doesn’t help you but that is the best solution I found xD

As a cyclist taxi drivers are the biggest fucking cunts on the road and are by far the people that put my life at risk most often.

I will walk for hours before I ever give those entitled pieces of shit any of my money. Buses and trains ftw!

But the question wasn’t give a fair assessment of a sequel to a game you like.

I realise that it isn’t objectively a bad game or anything like that and a lot of people still play it until this day and I for sure appreciate them keeping the servers up for the old game so I can still go back to play it should I choose. But the question was what sequel to a game I loved ruined it for me and anyone who played both can see they are blatantly not the same game at all.

GW2 was a complete departure from how the first game worked to a more generic MMO style, I’m sure it is a great game in its own right but for me personally, when compared to the amazing first game, it just doesnt hold a candle.

I didn’t, I remember falling asleep playing it not long after release which didn’t bode well, I wanted to like it but couldn’t. I “enjoyed” it for a while many years later as a co-op experience on a console (I forget which one) whilst getting stoned but it was more scratching an itch for that genre and playing with friends locally that really won it over in that instance rather than the game itself.

Likewise with 4, I didn’t even give it the time of day tbh, I still haven’t really seen much about it.

I’d have liked to play the remaster but I refuse to give those assholes any money and the main draw for me was multiplayer as a kid. I played the SP briefly on a pirate version but it was always about the MP for me.

Two of my favourite games of all time are Diablo 2 and Guild Wars.

Both of these games I was insanely hyped for the following games in the series and got them both on their respective releases days. Both were utterly disappointing crap when compared to their previous games and both probably contributed heavily to how I will now no longer get hyped for any game let alone buy one in their first year or two of release.

You’ve obviously never met a chain smoker before then. I have met plenty of people in the past working manual labour jobs who would literally light another one up the moment the old one is spent, usually lighting the new one from the old one. So it is entirely believable to me.

I appreciate the info, which of those two do you think would be the best to try to get into. I am a myanonamouse member in good standing with uploads as well as a good ratio / uptime etc so I may have a look on their invites section to see if I can get in via there.

Failing that I’ll have a look at other ways of getting in as maybe it will be beneficial in the long term for me.

Thanks for taking the time to have a look for me :)

Hmmm intrigued, what one are you part of?

Im mainly looking for dubstep, the “real dubstep” side of stuff.

Artists like:

Gisaza Lowcase Headland Argo Zha Teffa Kercha 7kidz

Etc…

Meh. Private trackers is just this same attitude of elitism that I don’t like bundled into a different form. On top of that I can’t even be sure that they would even have the kinds of things I’m looking for, it isn’t like I can browse their catalogue first to see if they catered to my niche music taste.

I like soulseek because it is open to everyone and I can just host my entire library for people to go through. I don’t have to jump through hoops to get invites and have interviews and all that shit.

Not exactly the same as your example but I love getting hard to find stuff and then putting it out there for the public to get.

I’m mainly talking soulseek here but within my preferred music genre there is a lot of elitism and manufactured rareness of tracks what with a lot of vinyl only releases with minimal pressings or digital downloads that are only available for x amount of hours, that kind of bullshit.

This then promotes this culture on soulseek of people locking all their files out to everyone so you need to either trade things or a lot of them will ask you to buy specific releases or send them bandcamp gift cards and the like, to me this goes against the very nature of piracy and really boils my piss.

I love to get access to these people files and getting as much as I can, or ripping vinyl only tracks where I can for myself or buying these “limited” digital tracks when they come up and I have the money (less often these days) and then just sharing them with no locks or trading bullshit.

I guess the point I’m trying to make is it is really satisfying (for me at least) to share this harder to get stuff that people aren’t going to find anywhere else and even better a massive fuck you to the elitism and manufactured scarcity within the genre. If you are a soulseek user with locked files reading this, fuck you!

Also torrents are pretty easy to make. I use deluge and qbittorrent and there are options in both of those to create a torrent. You will need a tracker to link to, free ones can be found, then it is just a case of pointing to the files on your computer and it’ll create the torrent file for you.

Durian fruit. That is the most vile thing I have ever tasted and the after taste lasted for like 5 hours.

That shit is fucking evil.

Yup, exactly!

I’m pretty tech literate but I still come across things often within the Linux space that I have only recently been delving into properly that are just not written in a clear, understandable manner and I then have to waste hours researching additional things often many layers deep where each successive thing throws up more unknowns.

I agree it is bloody frustrating! I can only imagine how put off people are that don’t have any tech know how to begin with!

I think a big part of the problem with wider adoption, particularly of less tech savvy people, is the documentation is often terrible. This is true of the FOSS community in general in my experience. There are many great people working on great projects for the FOSS community but when it comes to writing a guide to help people implement things they far too often assume a level of knowledge of the reader that is unreasonable to assume for the wider world of people that could benefit from their work.

If more people could write simple, broken down guides on how to implement and use their software then it would decrease the barrier of entry. Far too many things I see have instructions that include terms or processes that are too complex to expect an “average” person to know or understand and that will put a lot of people off as your average user doesnt want to try hard just to figure out the language used for a world they may not have an interest in getting deep into but those same people could probably benefit from the end result.

Because the majority of people (I realise that won’t be the majority of people on Lemmy due to the general user base) aren’t technologically literate enough to flash custom ROMs and the like on phones even if they want to get away from the bullshit you mention.

Graphene is the easiest for sure and when more phones are supported with that kind of easy install I believe it will embolden more people to make the switch away from crap they don’t like.
