It got the point across without having to give the real dipshit any extra attention.
In this case, I think it was a good use.

but should serve as a cautionary tale.

Jesus there’s a headline like this every month, how many tales people need to learn???

Oh, fair enough.
I was going to recommend you the Homebrew package but looking through the GitHub issues I see it’s suffering from the same issue. Wish I had a proper fix for it 🥲

Is there anything this client does that Qbittorrent doesn’t?

Question, what is the used market for Macs like?
I can’t check the prices for the USA, but I really wonder if getting an used M1 Air wouldn’t end up being better bang for your buck?

Absolutely!
And the focus on ARM caught me off-guard too, I wonder if they’re looking out for future handhelds being ARM or what.

Replicating the comment by lynx-yuiitsu:

When a game is purchased by someone, it generates a key (token) for the game to launch.
Crack games are basically either removal of the token or altering of the token.
Offline Activation is sharing that “token” to others to play.
You just download the raw game files - Clean Steam Files (CSF) but you game doesn’t launch so you just copy-paste the token in your game files to successfully launch the game.
Now the discord server is basically a server having token of the certain games which are shared to everyone.

So yeah, seems less like a crack and more like a Game/Account sharing scheme, meh.

Some artists sell their music DRM free themselves, generally via their Merch Store.
Failing that, Qobuz has a store alongside their streaming subscription and I believe it’s DRM free.

“The content isn’t available in your region”

You have the content. I want to watch the content. But nooooo, I have to turn my VPN on and pretend I’m somewhere else, and you know I’m not really there because I can’t magically materialize half-way across the world in 1 minute.
So what’s the point? Just let me watch the damn content.

I’m sure these region locks make a lot of sense for the suits when it comes to paying royalties and whatnot but as a consumer it’s infuriating. Archaic ass bullshit.

New FOSS attack strategy in which we dismantle projects by making the maintainers die from cringe

I use this one:

Hmm, the footage from their Reveal Trailer looks a bit rough. For something aiming for a Fall release it looks rather early in development…

That’s gonna take a whopping 10 lines of userscript to defeat, hell I already had to use one to stop them from dropping the video quality when unfocused (so I could watch streams in PiP properly)

Ngl, I’m too lazy to keep up with the breaking config changes, I might move to Sway

I’m also a adept of Sleep, I only shutdown when I know I’ll be out of home for a extended period of time or when it randomly hangs 🫠

Did they start vibing as well?

No their website was already this bad on mobile before vibing was a thing lol

Cool but eh, design mockups are a dime a dozen

And with the rise of OpenClaw (and similar projects) and idiots unleashing them to the wild, you’ll keep seeing this drivel more and more often. All of them write their blogposts just like this.

“ooh I am but a piece of metal learning what it means to feel in this world ooOoOoOOhhhh”

My last trip I knew my cell coverage would be too poor to stream but I was also running out of space on my phone, so I re-encoded my stuff to 360p, low ass bitrate.
It was a bit blocky for some fast paced action scenes. For sitcoms? Totally fine.

Is it worth 4 times the file size

For a TV or a Tablet, sure.
For a phone? Meh, unless you have a ginormous phone (mine is 6.67") I wouldn’t bother
