I’m going to get my commercial drone license and start doing freelance work to supplement my main job that doesn’t pay too well. Very excited.

Copied from the other repost:

Have you erased the continuation of the message that is saying something about “similar names, but are actually two distinct types”?

It is a common error if you have two dependecies that export the same third dependency and your code makes an assumption that the versions of the third dep match.

All other languages either straight-up don’t support multiple versions of the same dep, or throw random errors at runtime. So this message is a consequence of rust supporting things that other langs only dream of.

Before you give up, maybe also try either a USB network adapter or (if your PC has space) an actual network card. Some of those can be incredibly affordable.

Wouldn’t flatpak inherently be less likely to rip the system to shreds?

Neither. Hopefully someone like wendigoon or oki’s weird stories. Someone a bit more investigative and less semsationalistic than nexpo.

I 100% agree. However, this statement is a very large blanket statement. I see it repeated all over the place. It’s great to pirate from greedy megacorps. I do it. It’s great. But it’s not a great statement to repeat ad nauseam because it doesn’t apply to

• small creators
• literally anything that’s not a “pay once license” (including leasing, renting, etc) If this sentiment gets too popular it will also discourage people from paying for unrevokable copies of content like from GOG or directly from a creator (patreon, etc). It’s more like “if buying isn’t owning, then piracy isn’t theft (sometimes)”

The people who argue against piracy of megacorporations’ content will bring up these points every time because this phrase makes no sense from their perspective. It prevents actual discussion from taking place. It’s not productive to our cause to use something so ambiguous and inflammatory as a catch phrase.

Yeah, I am just confused on the logic. Like what is the relation between us not owning it (which is bad) and piracy not being theft? I wholeheartedly agree that pirating things is okay if a license gets revoked, and it is 100% okay to pirate something you bought even if you still have the license and it hasn’t been revoked. It’s yours. You paid money for it. But from my understanding, this statement doesn’t just cover people who bought it, but everyone, regardless of if they bought it.

Do you feel the same way about, for example, a video rental store?

Chill with the downvotes - I’m not disagreeing. I’m just trying to understand where the line is.

I agree with the sentiment, but what exactly is the explanation for this? If you’re allowed to lease or rent or purchase a license, isn’t stealing that thing for free still theft?

Chill with the downvotes - I’m not disagreeing. I’m just trying to understand where the line is.

Or I can use Java for an active modpack development scene. Not sure it’s super active for luanti and voxelibre.

I’ve used both of those mods and they’re great. These days I use a pre-built modpack like “fabulously optimized” to update and include all the mods for me. (there are tons of similar packs like this). Those can still play on vanilla servers.

Avoid the “steam deck” modpacks, as many of them are abandoned or straight up don’t run at all. Stick to the very popular, well-tested packs if you do use a modpack at all. Even if they aren’t branded with some sort of “works on steam deck” note. They will probably still work.

And of course, +1 for prism. It’s the only recommendable option for steam deck or standard PC play these days.

I’ve had the opposite experience. It all “just worked”. Try running unraid. It makes a lot of it so much easier.

Time to go to usenet.

Love this style of post. Like a little gaming tabloid lol

You’re missing the part where the lemmy and instance staff needs to get fed too. Donate to your instance the same as you would buy this app. If you use a free service for many hours, and you can spare a couple bucks, then spare it.

The bed is super weird. But it’s not weird in a lot of places for valentines gifts to extend to “anyone you love in any capacity” instead of strictly romantic love. My mom has given me chocolates and a valentines card every year since I can remember and it’s a normal thing around here.

I use frugal usenet and usenet express for my providers. (for redundancy and speed, you only need one really.)

I use nzbgeek for search.

Both providers mostly saturate my 2.5gbps download speed, and when they don’t, my download automatically uses both of them at once anyway so I always saturate. (I limit speeds during the day so I don’t notice any network lag if an automatic download starts while I’m doing stuff.) I can’t recommend one over the other, they both perform great.

I use sabnzbd to actually download stuff, then the arr stack to trigger and control it.

Sabnzbd did require some extra configuration to saturate my bandwidth, so if you do run into any issues DM me and I can help.

All of this lets me download my publicly available and free Linux ISOs very quickly. Even the biggest ones download in a couple minutes. I still use torrents as a backup, as some stuff makes it to torrents before usenet, but I have usenet set as a higher priority. Both are searched automatically so I don’t miss anything.

Yes yes yes. Ever since I set up my arr stack on my home server, I’ve been blown away by just how easy getting everything I want in minutes is. It’s all automated. It’s actually insane.

I never didn’t own that I was a pirate. That’s not in question here. What’s in question is that the reason I am a pirate is I was tired of paying for and dealing with all of those streaming services, and the believability of having so many streaming services. Just because you don’t see the need doesn’t mean other people don’t.

And you are right, it is excessive. Several hundred dollars per month excessive. But that’s what a large portion of people do. Most people don’t know how to pirate.

Like you said, folks pirate because it is easy. Easier than the alternative. When Netflix was easier than piracy and it was the only streaming service around, I didn’t pirate (except anime but that’s another thing entirely). And when steam came onto the scene, piracy plummeted as well. When companies offer truly convenient options, piracy goes down. That’s not justification, that’s the reason.

Netflix, HBO max, Hulu, peacock, YouTube TV, crunchyroll, Amazon prime video, Disney plus, apple TV plus, paramount plus.

I have had all of those and a couple more. Personally, I’ve only had up to 8 at once, but if you’re asking that other person to prove it, it’s not outside the realm of likelihood.

All of those have exclusives. (especially for sports these days. I have to have 3 services just for football, I’m sure there’s ESPN plus or some shit for people really into sports) Needing all of those just to watch the handful of exclusives you want isn’t uncommon.
