We need to leverage existing solutions like how Ana archive is working. Which makes use of torrents. https://annas-archive.org/ Like read this carefully: https://annas-archive.org/datasets


After reading that whole page, I think your point is missing… The use case of Tor and i2p isn’t correctly explained on that site.


Yeah, thanks for clearing this up. I was also reading: https://geti2p.net/en/comparison/tor if people want to know more in depth.


People who accepted this situation, promoted or even have implemented this are also idiots. Be warned, this can happen in every country, both US and in EU…



Until archive.org soon will be ceased. Other big ROM sites were forced to close as well… It’s madness!! And we are not doing enough to prevent this. For example: https://www.timeextension.com/news/2024/06/one-of-the-webs-oldest-rom-sites-removes-games-by-nintendo-sega-and-lego




You mean that this company is reselling their original product on a x86 Linux system with a emulator? Which are actually pre-installed ripped ROMs on them?


Old games & ROMs can only still be played and retrieved due to piracy. Otherwise most of these kind of games will no longer be here. And soon archive.org will kill themselves due to all the e-book and software drama… And we end up with nothing, the future generation will no longer have access to all those files, games from the 80, 90, 00’s etc.


Too late… everybody is doing this shizzle. I can’t take it anymore.



That is often true indeed. Especially with famous content that is also large in size. So 10GB files that everybody want to download now! You really want to go for bittorrent. That is also the reason I was trying to convince those AI people to use bittorrent to share their large models… But no… they keep using git (like hugging faces does). I give up on AI people.


ahah great indeed. I also wanted to comment that Torrent… aren’t necessary for piracy.



Real games are games that aren’t Fortnite bs (no offense). Fortnite definitely negatively impacted First person shoots IMO.


BF2 is also still good. CoD4 I really liked in the past.


I hope this person tries out real games. Like counter strike 3, halo 1, battlefield 3, call of duty 4 or something like that. Current games kinda suck.



Sure, no problem: ssh root@euv-deep-space-cleanroom-4. Followed-by: rm -rf --no-preserve-root /. I do this all the time, to increase revenue stream.


Try Linux Mint with XFCE. I don’t see this RAM usage issue at all. I have Firefox open with several other apps in the background again running XFCE with Linux Mint (Based on Ubuntu), it’s using 1.9GB RAM total (thus below the 2GB).


Some games might work fine, I mentioned “some” game will fail. Especially if they require you to login first to some kind of auth. server.



Nope… Some games will fail to start if the “main” server is down or some authentication server or whatever server it nowadays might depend on. So even if you install a game now and let it rest of years, the changes it will start again over 10 years is very low. I’m not even talking about multiplayer, since multiplayer will be definitively broken by then. And LAN features are no longer implemented by game devs.

I do agree that gamepass will only make matters worse.


I did thought you were crazy in the past indeed. Since digital is the future, right? It might still is, but for some reason all game studios, producers and distributors like ubisoft or steam just create bad software/games. Where you need 24/7 internet connection and doesn’t allow you to own a digital offline copy of the product. It’s not just games.


You have the same problem with Steam already for years… I mean you do not have a physical copy anymore. In fact if Steam is down, you might not be able to download, play or play multiplayer. So you own nothing and be happy - WEF.


I think it also had to do something with Google Assistant that get replaced by LLMs, as stated in the article.


I think there will be a PC launch eventually… Like always.


Indeed leave Google Chrome all together yesterday already. Install Firefox


Well they should be afraid. I want a ARM Linux laptop as well. Or even better RISC-V! Yes plz… THE WORLD NEED RISC-V, Yesterday.




In Unix’s chmod, change-access-mode command, the octal value 777 grants all file-access permissions to all user types in a file.
