At least half my library on both Steam and GOG are games that I pirated, played the hell off and then just bought. Most I don't even touch after buying them, I just do it to support the developer and actually own something I enjoyed.

I've legit spent 50 hours modding Skyrim to play for like 9 - 15 hours and then moving on until the itch to play Skyrim come back and I spent another 50 hours modding testing something different.

Can you throw an invite to their discord?

Been using only his stuff for Adobe, Office and Windows 7.

Never had any issues.

This is the method I've been using for a while now but since I joined Lemmy and got exposed to more technical things I've heard a lot about jellyfish/Plex combined with other stuff like Dockers and nextcloud (I think), to craft their own self hosted stuff. I wanna try that out.

I'm just barely getting into IT myself so this got my interest, is there any guide or site that explains how to get started on this? I'm also looking to learn more about trackers since I just know the basics of torrent.

Neverwinter Nights, I enjoy playing some of the campaigns and modules every so often, trying out different builds.

Warcraft 3, just for the original campaigns and also the stupid amount of custom campaigns made by the community.

Yeah but the didn't launch on the EU yet.

I remember when the things we bought were extremely durable and could last for decades if taken care of, I'm talking about anything, from tools, to cars, to clothes.

Now, from the 2000s to present day, everything is made to be consumed extremely fast, products are made with cheaper materials and most likely designed to fall apart sooner, this increases consumption by A LOT on a shorter span of time meaning more money in less time, something corporations just drool at.

With things being replaced on a shorter span means more energy required for the factories, more materials, more waste, and yes, way more pollution.

A lot of the times the "consumers" were created artificially with this tactics. Many things that lead to the current state of nsumption by the common folk is engineered.

Hi Jim, welcome to the contributor side

Yes, very normal for social media platforms, specially Facebook, anything related to Facebook, and even apps and third parties that use things like sign in with Facebook.

real-debrid, discounted Netflix and Disney+ from one of those third party sellers. Spotify family, paid between 4 people Most recently Prime but just for prime day deals and fast delivery.

Back in 2005, they started paying Mozilla to promote the Google search engine via their browser. Chrome still wasn't a thing back then. The weird thing is that they never stopped those payments even today, they even increased them on almost a yearly basis.

That was back then.. Why would they do it now that it no longer makes financial sense since Mozilla is just 3% of the browser market? No clue
