This is a recent one that came up, but this happens every few months. If payment processors just did their jobs there wouldn't be as much of a need for other ways to do transactions. It's also still a pain in the ass to send money to individuals in other countries even when everything works the way it's intended.

I've run http servers from my phone to copy files from it. For fun I made CSS for the file list and added an "upload file" button. I never got the php max upload size setting to take effect though. And I never bothered with that cert crap. But you CAN run web servers. I found the php web server worked best.

Yeah it's called Temu. You'll get them in your email and SMS inboxes too.

I always went to soulseekqt.net which I guess is just an alias. I feel like I've been in some kind of weird bubble.

I've never seen that abbreviation for it before. What you see in search results depends on who's accounts are online so keep checking every once in a while. My other suggestion is if you use qbittorrent, it actually has a torrent search that I think is disabled for legal disability or something.

Just use soulseek or something

There are some users who are dicks that ban people, but you'll only be banned from that one person's downloads. If it happens just download from someone else who's not a psychopath about it. Most people on soulseek want to share. It's not a private tracker and there's no e-penis to be gained. DO share your own collection though because you might as well.

Definitely don't bet on that guy.

Now that yuzu is gone they're going to be rolling in theoretical money.

I never figured this out. When I play switch games it's always a version that bundles the emulator with it and has all the keys and bios crap already configured.

Wow I didn't know The Far Side was providing such deep insight into the contemporary struggles of the working class. I guess it just takes an extremely high level of literacy to understand it.

 

Most people have extremely weird ideas of what's considered piracy and what isn't. Downloading a video game rom is piracy, but if you pay money to some Chinese retailer for an SD card containing the roms, that's somehow not piracy. Exploiting the free trial on a streaming site by using prepaid visa cards is somehow not piracy either. Torrenting an album is piracy, but listening to a bootleg on YouTube isn't.

YouTube noticed this at some point and is now happy to let everyone know how much pirated music is available on their site. One of their main points for shilling YouTube premium is how their music catalogue is way better than Spotify. Of course the piracy site has more. That's always how it works. Spotify actually has to license the music on their platform and is subject to copyright law. They can't just get the Neil Young discography from soulseek one day and wait until his estate notices, facing no repercussions whatsoever aside from agreeing to a takedown request. Imagine if Pirate Bay or Napster were considered completely above-board businesses just because they took down torrents if explicitly requested by the copyright holders.

Not that I'm complaining especially when a lot of the music on youtube isn't publicly accessible anywhere else. It's just been extremely strange to see this go from an "open secret" to something they're shouting from the rooftops and face no repercussions for. In the future I want everything to be like that and I'd rather keep youtube how it is than see them get the punishment that by all rights they should be getting. It's just so strange that this is the position things have ended up in.
