That's exactly what happened when I got Doom 3 for the PC. I uploaded CD1 of 3 to an FTP and they cracked it before I was even done uploading CD2.

Was released a few hours later under Doom_3-RELOADED

Why can't I say stuff on this website? What, we have to genuflect in front of commercial ebeggars on the internet now?

So anyway, I ACTUALLY said this and I mean it:

She has a goddamned patreon eye cover she's wearing at the hospital. These flagrant EBEGGARS are getting out of control. Screw her and screw anybody who gives money to these ebegging scumbags. They all seem to have health problems when they want to buy a NEW FERRARI. Nope. They're all SCAMMERS. FUCK THEM.

Hi. Keep your hands off of my genuine comment.

She has a goddamned patreon eye cover she's wearing at the hospital. These flagrant EBEGGARS are getting out of control. Screw her and screw anybody who gives money to these ebegging scumbags. They all seem to have health problems when they want to buy a NEW FERRARI. Nope. They're all SCAMMERS. FUCK THEM.

How about you pay for your own health care instead of asking others to do it? Yeah. YEAH try that dude. I'm SICK of ebeggars.

Okay how's this? I just made a video about how I feel about this crap.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=svrKWMdks4U

The US dollar sign has never gone behind the amount.

$24 not 24$.

NO generation. That's a BAD GENERATION. Get it RIGHT for once.

You wouldn't speak to me this way in voice so don't type it you disingenuous panda "lover."

(Sure wish I could use the word I really want to use there.)

Okay. Link the pirated books then. Let's see if HN let's you.

OH. OH.™

No. The problem with news websites is they often don't even link things.

For instance: News story said "The 32-page manifesto of the mass shooter went into detail about how he hated every fast food employee." and then they don't link to the downloadable manifesto for us to read. We have to rely on comments for someone to actually post the link.

Same thing with torrentfreak. They TALK about kindle books being pirated but they're not linking them. You'd find the link in the comments. Yeah. THE LINK.

Yeah but allowing comments is one of the primary things of the internet. We don't want internet to become radio and television -- one way communication.
Re:A Message from Sam Sagan on Saturday February 25, 2023 @10:15AM (#34937237)
These guys copyright strike all Cosmos clips off youtube now. They're scumbags.

People need to see Carl Sagan's Cosmos from 1980 and when I was using some clips to educate some real ignorant people, somebody from carlsagan.com copyright struck it.

That isn't what the real Sagan would do. He WANTED people to be educated, but those in charge of the late Sagan's material now are almost as bad as Don Henley in "protecting" it.

Real SCUM.

I sent the claimant and got no response. Stonewalled. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/197420215363960832/10...

Makes me want to share cosmos on my website and torrents. Then what's he gonna do? Nothing. Scumbag. People NEED to see Cosmos dude.

A guy going to Disneyland alone - 2995 times. No, not creepy.

Who cares about stupid internet points dude? Fuck reddit and fuck every website. I want the 90s back god damnit. I want no begging. I want no dollar signs. I want awesome internet.
Re:Millions of Active WebSockets with Node.js on Tuesday February 21, 2023 @04:03AM (#34878611)
I don't know anything about node.js or websockets but I actually set them up and used them in Jitsi Meet's version of the Excalidraw Backend for its recent whiteboard implementation.

Here's me looking at the websocket traffic (I think): https://youtu.be/4rlffwHUchk?t=1857

I might not fully understand the technicals of it but I got it up and running and use it almost every day! :D Maybe I'll someday understand it.

In the 90s and early 2000s, people, even from other countries, typed it correctly on the internet. I have the EFnet IRC logs right now on my hard drive if you need proof. Hell I'm tempted to make a youtube video just to prove my point.
Re:Did an F-22 Blow Up an Illinois Club’s Hobby Balloon? on Friday February 17, 2023 @02:40PM (#34839349)
Oh really? Then why don't we say QUESTION MARK or PERIOD verbally for each sentence of you think the $ literally means "dollars?"
Re:Did an F-22 Blow Up an Illinois Club’s Hobby Balloon? on Friday February 17, 2023 @02:38PM (#34839322)
I think it's funny. It reminds me of a paragraph in Carl Sagan's "Pale Blue Dot" book in chapter six:

There are far-reaching, visionary, and even revolutionary implications to the space program. Communications satellites link up the planet, are central to the global economy, and, through television, routinely convey the essential fact that We live in a global community. Meteorological satellites predict the weather, save lives in hurricanes and tornados, and avoid many billions of dollars in crop losses every year.

Military-reconnaissance and treaty-verification satellites make nations and the global civilization more secure; in a world with tens of thousands of nuclear weapons, they calm the hotheads and paranoids on all sides; they are essential tools for survival on a troubled and unpredictable planet.

The dollar sign has never gone behind the amount. Why can't these last two generations place the dollar sign in the correct place?

$100. Not 100$.

Re:‘I will show you how safe Telegram is’ on Thursday February 16, 2023 @11:18AM (#34820663)
I say again: Jitsi Meet (Open source, self-hosted) has voice/video E2EE (it has text, but is not yet encrypted).

No login. No password. No app. All WebRTC. Chrome required since Firefox does not yet seem to support encryption over WebRTC (I think).

I set it up from scratch with Debian Linux and Virtualbox in about 30 minutes here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4rlffwHUchk

The guy has a checkbox next to his name on that channel. You know what that means, right? It means useless shill who will never tell you the truth.

Go ahead. Find me a single person on youtube who has a checkbox next to his name who will not only tell you about piracy, but will actually LINK THINGS to you directly.

They never do it. They'll talk about the PC port of Mario 64 but they'll never link it to you. I hate them. They're scum. They're like FCC regulated news stations who come to the internet and continue to censor things even though the internet is not FCC regulated and you can ACTUALLY show the uncensored material.

God I hate youtubers and especially the checkboxes.

Once you go FLAC you never go back.™
Oh, so you'll spend 10 hours arguing with a keyboard but you won't hop in voice for 20 minutes to get your ass kicked?

Man you disingenuous panda fuckers. All of you broken brain tards are the same.

Hi I said voice. Why haven't you added and called yet?

Oh, a conspiracy theorist keyboard warrior who can't orally defend the BULLCRAP they spew on the internet in real-time voice chat.

Funny how that works.

PROVE you're a real human and not a conspiracy theory astroturfer.

Discord: Painbow#9553. Give me a call in 3 hours from now.

Have you read Carl Sagan's Demon Haunted World book from 1996? Because this kind of crap always turns out to be garbage. We live on a rock circling a star.

The only thing that makes the world more interesting than it really is is our brains that love to make crap up. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.™

Are you nuts? Yeah I want 10,000 icons on my desktop rather than just one browser.

Man this generation blows. No wonder you're fine with 10 different game publisher clients, 10 different movie publisher clients, and 500 different "apps" to access websites. Keep recording vertically dude. (GEEZUS)

Re:Has Windows become Spyware? [video] on Sunday February 05, 2023 @01:31AM (#34662520)
My sponsorblock for youtube has like the last 2 minutes of that video cut out. What, does he beg for that fucking long? I can't stand youtubers like this.

In fact, I block all channels that have a verified icon next to their name from my search results. I never want to see any of those ebegging losers.

Sorry. I'm not blaming you - I'm blaming our tolerance for ebegging losers on the internet. It's now normal and accepted to ruin videos with watermarks, VPN ads, begging, and showing your stupid face in every single frame of the video.
