Easy to conveniently forget that the French peoples had guillotines.

Come on Americans, they're not that difficult to build! Are you telling me a nation of people who think that snails are edible are better at revolutions than 'MURRICA???

Don't worry it won't be a close call. Trump has this one in the pocket unless we change the democratic figurehead for someone who actually has some meat and spine.

The fun thing about regressions: these things affects you if your system is new enough that it has the behaviour reintroduced. Which means you are less likely to be hit if you are using Debian Stable (or even Oldstable) than, say, Sid (unpatched at the time of writing this comment) or Arch btw.

Skill issue. You also have the alternative of sharpening your guillotines.

Boy do I love it when people give me excuses to vote 3p.

Want to put some economic incentive to pirating? Make it a shared / solidarity pool. Or get in touch with a state / nation that has more active interest on digital sovereignty and preservation so that it can be set up as some sort of UBI.

cracking the games

to put some DRM on them

to sell them

Fam, half the point of pirating is getting harmful middlemans out of the way. If I wanted a game and it was available on the Cracked Store for, say, $10 plus $15 for the DRM unlock, I'd just go to 1337x or somesuch to get the normal pirated version.

I feel so silly that I wouldn't even know how to describe it.

I know! I'll pirate hundreds of books from well-known authors so that I can easily find a useful metaphor.

If Meta can pirate stuff, then the Internet Archive can pirate stuff and I can also pirate stuff. Fair is fair.

Where do you find such downloads? Most torrent sites I've seen barely give you anythng under 720p that is not 480p (or 144p 3gp for the lulz value, I guess?) these days.

Huh, didn't know the 3DSXL could do 480p well, I always thought its limits were at about 360p (or 400p if such a profile existed). Can I ask how do you perform such encoding? Like, what encoder and options are you using. Oh and the battery usage. It's for a book.

Dealing out the harsh truths I see!

I mean I too would also be very sociable if I could live rent-free on a patterned rug. :p

It's good to see her well. And thanks for the pronunciation guide!

So that means, since I'm paying it whether I pirate or not, I might as well pirate, right?

Public funding, public access!

A sad day, but nothing that can't be fixed by reuploading the files.

omg! Precious! May I ask what is the correct way to pronounce her name?

Šaškė

I recall she is not a Darth Emo cat, but she is still lovable. o3o

Also, p good fit with her and that checkered pattern rug.

That's why I don't have monitor dashboards 😎

Wow, I didn't know there was a whole architectural style thingy going on for the name! I'm looking at the pictures and... this looks respectable? Comfy? Inviting to self-realization, even?

They won’t merge my code unless I change my code to be GPL.

If you are the author of the code you want to merge, you can double-license it you know. Hand them a GPL license, they'll be able to use your copy under the same terms, while you and everyone else use your current license.

Thanks, this explainer explains a lot.

Latin being Latin I guess.
