Pringles@sopuli.xyzto Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ@lemmy.dbzer0.com•Can’t pay, won’t pay: impoverished streaming services are driving viewers back to piracyEnglish14·6 days agoI know several people who watch everything on some iptv website for free. It’s one of those that bombard you with a dozen popup ads and ad overlays. It doesn’t require any technical knowledge to (eventually) get it to play and you can watch what you want to. 96% seems a bit high, but it is really common. Most people aren’t as tech savvy as the average lemmy user.
Pringles@sopuli.xyzto Patient Gamers@sh.itjust.works•Mass Effect 1 is still my favourite sci-fi game of all time2·9 days agoHasn’t that been in development hell for almost a decade by now? I check up on it maybe once a year or so and there never is any progress. Last I remember the script writer basically said the source material is too diverse and expansive to create a coherent script that translates well to tv and still gives you a proper sense of the scope.
Great read, thanks for that!

Pringles@sopuli.xyzto Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ@lemmy.dbzer0.com•Online Piracy Almost Died. Now It's More Popular Than Ever. - YouTubeEnglish7·29 days agoTrue, good sport streams are a lot harder to find than they used to be.
Them allowing unlimited book checkouts during covid in defiance of copyright law, resulting in them getting sued and losing bad in court. They knew it was going to get them in trouble and proceeded anyway.
I’m not saying it wasn’t a noble thing to do, but it was stupid and they knew better. So now they are just paying off the fine and I don’t want my money to go straight to the publishers and lawyer fees.
I regularly donate to wikipedia, the guardian, keepass2android, whatever fund raising Ukraine Matters has at the time I feel like donating and lemmynsfw. Also have a tax deduction directed to animal shelters.
I used to support the internet archive, but I’m still pissed off at their stupidity.
Pringles@sopuli.xyzto PC Gaming@lemmy.ca•[Old article from 2017] The EU Suppressed a 300-Page Study That Found Piracy Doesn’t Harm SalesEnglish28·1 month agoThe report found that illegal downloads and streams can actually boost legal sales of games, according to the report.
This is the real kicker and something that has been observed many times over the years. It makes sense too. If something is really good, people want to support it and will look for ways to support the creators. It’s basically free advertising. People who can’t afford it aren’t going to support it anyway whether they pirate something or not.

Admittedly I hardly game anymore, although I am considering another Skyrim playthrough.
A buddy of mine is into vibe coding, but he actually does know how to code as well. He will reiterate through the code with the llm until he thinks it will work. I can believe it saves time, but you still have to know what you are doing.
