If there’s a personal information field, filling it with random noise is marginally better than leaving it blank. The pronouns field is new but I’ve noticed a lot of women friends (that have gender neutral usernames and profile pics, and no linked social media) opting to not use it or set it to he/him because having it filled out accurately caused trolls and bots and incels to fill their DMs.

I’ve seen them in the wild, I live in the bay area. They look worse than in the pictures. The brushed steel catches every speck of dirt and oil. It’s like they’re driving a damn crock-pot.

The centralized pirate guys need to get the content from somewhere. Usually by cracking or obtaining a retail copy, rarely by stealing one.

One guy buys, rips DRM, uploads to pirates. That’s how almost all piracy works, someone usually had to buy a legit copy.

If my private trackers don’t have what I’m looking for, DHT search engines like btdig always have my back when it comes to audiobooks.

Low seed count? You only need one seed. That’s the point of torrents.

I grabbed my first nzb from drunkenslug, but Google results for an nzb client seem to be SEO-spammed and full of clients that are their own indexing platforms. Is nzbget good? It’s the only one I could find that doesn’t look like it’s trying to sell me something.

They do. Also you can play the pirated version online, there’s no DRM. Good on you for buying it though, it’s the kind of game it’s good to support

If peer tube has lag and doesn’t support high definition / multiple resolutions per video, it’ll never get enough popularity that storage / bandwidth become issues.

For now. This is step one of enshittification. Step 2 is enabling it for new accounts by default. Step 3 is removing the ability for new accounts to turn it off. Step 4 is defaulting it on for legacy users, and step 5 makes it mandatory for everyone that isn’t paying for something.

If funding enters the picture, capitalism means that it’ll eventually shift towards profit (or in some cases “not operating at a severe loss”). Something based on BitTorrent might be one of the only capitalism-proof solutions for handling video, but that of course has its own problems (most people that create video content like to be able to delete it, for example)

Peertube is one of the oldest federated software projects. It’s a lot less sustainable than ActivityPub platforms because storing HD video is much much more expensive than what Lemmy instances currently do. Lemmy as a platform with a few federated home servers could feasibly replace Reddit, Mastodon could feasibly replace Twitter, but if PeerTube ever got mainstream enough to handle even 0.01% of YouTube’s traffic/hosting footprint it’d be impossible to deal with the associated costs.
