I do a fair amount of video editing with it, and I haven’t had it crash once, in Windows or Linux, in years now.

The workprint leak came a day before the official release, the plot and cut of the film is exactly the same. It’s just missing a significant amount of the effects.

No, even being a kids movie couldn’t save this pile of crap. Even the crappiest kids movies have some heart. Like Dogman was legitimately fucking stupid, but it had heart to it, I cared about the characters despite how stupid it all was. A Minecraft Movie fails in every measure to have characters you care about at all. I feel nothing for these idiotic jabronis breezing through the film, the writing and acting is legitimately that bad.

I personally found it on soulseek, most trackers are avoiding it because pre-release brings extra heat.

Seriously, I watched the leaked workprint. It’s really, really bad. Bad script, bad acting, bad styling, just bad bad bad. First time I’ve legitimately seen Jack Black phone it in.

I use Debian btw

Maybe you should try Dove or Dial instead?

One thing I have noticed a lot of lately is that people just don’t want to have to fucking read at all anymore and it kind of is wrecking my faith in humanity. Asking people to read isn’t a big ask.

Dang it I finally literally just updated yesterday after not updating for like six months and being lazy haha.

Nice new features though and no breaking changes so no big deal. Just update it again today, I guess.

I pirated that game just so I could critique how god damned bad it was.

CDs absolutely influenced the scale and speed of it. And it was a generational shift that went from piracy being something that wasn’t well understood and mostly a niche issue for music and movie lovers (“home taping is killing music”) to something that impacted all types of media.

I had a friend back in the early 2000’s who did this.

He paid for this way through school by abusing the schools T1 access and pirated shitloads of movies and would dump them all to DVD-Rs and then sell them on ebay. He wouldn’t make exact DVD rips, he instead would fill the DVD with tons of different movies or shows and sell them as collections. He did especially well with anime, which was difficult to access in the US at the time.

He later went on to be an electrical engineer at Boeing.

I also remember people hating Valve at first for this DRM scheme, and it’s also weird that people forgot that Steam itself is a minimally invasive form of DRM.

Speaker brand, they may be looking for some software for managing it. Probably gonna need to run it in WINe.

AMD drivers: Native, will auto-install as the mesa library, AMD is tits in Linux, it just works.

Gmail: Thunderbird works with Gmail accounts and can sync the calendar.

iTunes: Rhythmbox has a very similar layout to iTunes and so should feel pretty familiar.

Anti-virus: Linux doesn’t really need antivirus in the same way Windows does because it’s more locked down and doesn’t have the same vectors of attack. If someone is hacking a Linux machine, it’s a corporate server, not your desktop PC. If you still think you might need one ClamAV is available for Linux distributions. (.deb for Debian derivaties and .rpm for Fedora derivatives)

Py-Charm: As others have noted, Python is installed natively and is usually already implemented “out of the box” on a fresh install. No need for a program to run it, Python is just… there already.

Remote Desktop: Whatever distribution you have will likely also come with a Remote Desktop client. I am unaware of whether or not they will connect natively to iOS.

Star Citizen: You should be able to add this as a non-Steam game to Steam and use Steam’s Proton compatibility layer to play it. A few years ago they were literally asking for Linux players to test it with Proton and Easy Anti-Cheat.

VPN: Linux has extensive VPN support including “roll your own” through either OpenVPN or Wireguard.

Windows Games: Steam, using the Proton compatibility layer, which is essentially WINe, just made a little easier. As with Star Citizen, just add it as a non-Steam game and viola.

Windows 10: The Distribution of your Dreams is just around the corner… Mint isn’t a terrible place to start.

Soulseek has no torrents and no swarms. It’s a classic, direct peer-to-peer connection between you and another user. You have to choose to share items in your library, like in the old days. Most file sharing like this was shut down two decades ago now since bittorrent was alive and kicking in 2001 and became the dominant way to share files. However, Soulseek has somehow flown under the radar and kept chugging along. It’s my premier place to find obscure music I can’t find anywhere else.

I’m honestly surprised CG has survived this long. Most of the other trackers I was on from that era are long gone.

Oink’s Pink Palace gone, What gone, baconBits gone, cheggit gone… I think the only two other than CG that still exist are indietorrents and empornium. I’m old now so the porn trackers no longer appeal to me.

Those were the halcyon days, for sure,

Soulseek is still kicking ass and taking names, bruh

If you’re on linux check out the Nicotine+ native linux client for soulseek

It’s definitely not easy, especially if you don’t have a seedbox.

I have gotten a good amount of upload, but that’s on torrents I have been seeding for literally years at a time.

What is a private tracker?

A private tracker is a torrent website that provides the same functionality as a public tracker but is invite-only. This means you need to be a member to view the contents of the site and download its torrents. A tracker can either be semiprivate, where you can create an account for free by just registering your details, or fully private, where another user has to invite you. Within a tracker, there is usually an extensive set of rules covering how much one can download, what kind of content one can upload, what precautions one must take when logging into the site, etc. Such rules and content vary from tracker to tracker, and go from rather liberal with little enforcement to ultra-paranoid and autistic

Private trackers enforce ratios, and good private trackers reward long-term seeding, which is part of why I like private trackers.

I’m very proud of my CG account that turns seventeen next month.

EDIT: No I don’t have invites, before anyone asks.
