    I used 420chan early on before it became clear feds had gotten into kirt's skull so that's been my assumption ever since. Retarded and tormented. Run an altchan too long and it'll happen to you too.

    Juneteenth to be declared national holiday

    I'm not American so I've never heard this stupid word (we have black people but they're fine since they're also not American) and this has been bugging me for weeks. There's seven teenths in June so it's a fucking awful name to put so close to the most specifically named holiday. Unless it's...

    The Great Twitter Meltdown of 2021

    We shouldn't kill emulator developers. There's lots of other people we could kill.

    John McAfee found dead in Spanish prison cell after Spanish court OK extradition to the US

    Yeah it's dumb. But what you can do is send hard disks by courier. That's what's done with shit like astronomical data so researchers can get shit in a day or two that wouldn't fit through the pipes. But it's still a dumb idea because the idea of a killswitch dump is getting it out to everybody...

    John McAfee found dead in Spanish prison cell after Spanish court OK extradition to the US

    As long as it's not like a single archive then yeah, you can pick and prioritise single files out of a torrent. A single archive would be retarded for this purpose by the way; practically nobody would be able to open it. It wouldn't cause anything like a DDoS. Torrents are just peer-to-peer and...

    /r/wsb autists taking on a wallstreet hedgefund. Elon musk involved as always

    Snippet from the class action against Robinhood: And that's mid-January, after which spike people were shorting in even deeper. Estimates following the recent GME meeting submission of vote counts (which were "normalised" down to literally 100% of the available shares, leaving a gap in one...

    Morality of Piracy

    It's not so much the individuals they're targeting as the industry. Photoshop was a couple hundred bucks (which gave it a level of prestige by itself). Every student pirated it so they get $0, right? Except most of those students then graduate and work for a company which won't pirate it...

    Morality of Piracy

    I'm rusty on the preaching but think of it as a form of marketing. If you don't have millions of dollars to push them, games get popular through word-of-mouth and goodwill. I buy one game for probably every ten I torrented (most of which I delete in under an hour) and when I do purchase it's...

    Morality of Piracy

    I don't wanna get involved that pink sperg's spergery but small/independent developers do benefit from piracy most of the time. I'm a dev and used to bring this up on panels all the time, so there's an argument for it. It's pretty clear when you think about things in terms of sales conversion...

    Careercow Dan Harmon

    NTFs will be great for creators in general long-term but the current fad is all people cashing in on the system prematurely and making it look retarded. It's a cool and extremely versatile technology that has a lot more potential than "art NTFs" so don't throw everything out with the bathwater...
