Been using it, absolutely cannot recommend.

Just ripped a friend’s entire collection using cyanrip. Might be more powerful tools out there but I wanted something from the CLI.

This is at the discretion of your local vendors. Some places in my area stopped selling them altogether rather than raise the price. I think Arizona had to take the 99¢ branding off the can because it doesn’t work in a lot of markets. Places in my area will have them as cheap as 79¢ but it’s obviously a loss leader.

Probably, I’m fairly certain they get told which parts of the video get skipped and which get rewatched.

I thought I was the only one who did this. It’s the only way I feel 100% secure.

No way we’re downloading the same repacks, it’s rare to see anything as small as fitgirl’s releases in my experience. Your CPU had better be ready to step up to the plate though.

Seconded, I didn’t realize how bad Win 10 has gotten because I’ve used LTSC since Win 7. A far more bearable experience.

I’m just being cheeky

FLAC, because you didn’t specify what kind of Codec.

God forbid you contextualize this answer in any way, someone here might understand what’s being discussed and form an opinion for themselves.

Any solutions for people whose VPNs do not offer port forwarding?

I did the opposite and also can’t remember why I did it.

I think you’ve got cooler friends than I do.

Much like international waters, its always required a bit of watching out for your own well being.

Maybe this is the use case I’m not understanding. Do many people have servers that they just keep software they’re not using on? I mean this makes sense with movies and maybe music, but I feel like I’ve never heard of this with games and such.

I’m having a very hard time understanding what this does for me that lutris doesn’t already.

I should be clear that I don’t think supply and demand are immovable levers by which the world economy does or should work. I also don’t believe there’s only one person with the ability to do this. If they stop, I’m left to assume one of the eight billion people on this rock with the time and talent and resources to do this will.

And if they don’t then I’m just going to have to deal with it because this is internet piracy, my dude. But there’s no world in which I’m going to defend what empress does as a vital public service. I think I would prefer that they stop and get help, but I don’t expect that to happen.

If the second one is true, even in a subjective sense, I’m honestly just impressed. I mean, if it works, it works.

Demand is what causes Supply. Somewhere out there is someone with the skill to crack Denuvo, but no need to, because this lunatic is already doing it. And being the competition means being on empress’ radar, which is really something a sane person would not want.

It is not even semi-private. It is a completely public medium and absolutely nothing posted on it, including direct messages, can be seen as even remotely secure. Worse, anything you post on Mastodon is, once sent, for all intents and purposes completely irrevocable.

This guy is either actively trying to spread fear and doubt about decentralized services, or is somehow only now understanding what the internet is and how it works. Did I step into some kind of time vortex a while back and end up in a world where people ever believed that anything on the internet was private or revocable?
