[help][answered] Is pirated tutorials forbidden here ?
(self.steamdeck)
A place to discuss and support all things Steam Deck.
Replacement for r/steamdeck_linux.
As Lemmy doesn't have flairs yet, you can use these prefixes to indicate what type of post you have made, eg:
[Flair] My post title
The following is a list of suggested flairs:
[Discussion] - General discussion.
[Help] - A request for help or support.
[News] - News about the deck.
[PSA] - Sharing important information.
[Game] - News / info about a game on the deck.
[Update] - An update to a previous post.
[Meta] - Discussion about this community.
Some more Steam Deck specific flairs:
[Boot Screen] - Custom boot screens/videos.
[Selling] - If you are selling your deck.
These are not enforced, but they are encouraged.
Rules:
It's actually kind of funny that emulators, which explicitly violate copyright law in the US as a circumvention measure prohibited by the DMCA as well as infringing for any rom created after the 1920s (ie. all of them) which have not been placed into the public domain, are perfectly fine here because that doesn't "feel" like piracy since the games are not generating revenue.
Anyway, you're almost certainly looking for !steamdeckpirates@lemmy.dbzer0.com instead of this community. I didn't even know that community existed until yesterday with the kerfuffle over lemmy.world defederating from dbzer0.com. Streisand effect-ish in a way. Best of luck, and keep a keen eye out for the EIC.
I guess they have to draw a line somewhere.
Yeah I posted my tuto in !steamdeckpirates@lemmy.dbzer0.com already.
That look like a sweet spot to start a pirate community for SteamDeck.
Seem a little empty now though
It does seem fairly empty at the moment. TBH, I don't have enough time to play the games I've paid for (or gotten from Epic), but it's interesting that it's out there.
edit: there is about twice the unfederated content on the dbzer0 server compared to what is here on Sopuli (as of this morning) if that matters.
Yeah lemmy.world did a great publicity for piracy communities. We should thank them.
