I did it but left a few select support subreddits out of it, I just checked (thanks to you, thanks btw) and it seems my shit is still deleted, though I found out there’s at least one subreddit that logged comments as posts citing the usernames they’re from, seemingly for scraping and data aggregation purposes, since they’re without any context other than the title post and subreddit they’re from.

Seems to be dead for at least three years, but it’s still creepy.

Btw I’m certain there are many backups existing somewhere, maybe not public accessible but there must be

Lmao I love how different people’s experiences can be, the fact that windows has so many problems is why I prefer Linux over windows.

I said more similar, as in more than memento mori

It does if you remove it from its context where they used it more like “you should be humble, you’ll die like everyone else”, carpe diem was used more similarly to yolo

Compatibility, though it’s usually forced, like the Xbox controller with a drm chip that you need a workaround for

I generally just avoid it, otherwise I use it on windows, I still use dual boot with windows and Linux, will probably stop after w10 stops getting security updates since I don’t really care all that much about windows specific stuff

It’s not windows.

Any bonus points for a concise answer?

Just to cover all bases since it wasn’t mentioned, dark souls, that’s pretty much the defining feature that made me want to try it despite the shitty “git gud” attitude of the community.

Morbid: seven acolytes is really good, though it’s a souls like, a 2d isometric one.

Blade of darkness. A bit old, really good, runs on anything.

Nah, because no alternative can be a complete replacement and if it’s not the exact same experience, people aren’t willing to put that tiniest bit of effort.

Again, look at Reddit as an example, alternatives exist, yet none of them are the exact same because there’s not a comparable size, and because of that people will just pull down their pants and begrudgingly accept reddit’s problems.

And they’re not losing us any time soon, for years I’ve seen people saying that YouTube is going down because they do shit the users don’t like and yet everyone keeps using them and in general making no effort in changing that.

It’s just like Reddit, a few of us left but that didn’t change anything, everyone’s still using it and they’re not stopping any time soon.

Even if not abandoning the platform, it would only take a decent portion of the users reducing their use of the platform for them to feel a punishment of some sort, but nobody’s really willing to do anything other than complain and automatically dismiss any suggestion of an alternative.

Dafuq is this meme? civilians are civilians, regardless of the country religion or whatever the duck they’re born in.

So when discussing something like the title of this post, we could talk all day about what we personally believe the answer is, but the legality really is the only objective answer here.

I agree, we can enjoy a long insightful conversation if we talk about morals… Why do you sound like that shouldn’t be the default?

Edit: wait, how in the duck do you expect a single monolithic legal answer in a question that did not provide a legal jurisdiction?

I’m curious, if not from the people discussing, what kind of answer were you expecting?

Lmao why is almost everyone talking about the law? Morals can exist regardless of the law

I support this point of view, but at the same time I want the status quo to be disrupted and the internet to change, I’m not a fan of allowing corporations to fall into complacency when they hold so much power.

That’s amazing and encouraging, I want to hear more stories like this because when my kid grows up I plan on trying to guide him into not being tech illiterate, so far my plan is (more or less, but not exactly) to start him with a crappy but usable computer and give him upgrades he has to work for or tinker for, I feel like I learned the most by trying to squeeze performance and usability out of outdated hardware.

I don’t intend to make him have my passion for computers, my intention is that he’ll have the initiative to Google problems and the curiosity to solve them when it’s not that easy, just having those two can get you 80%-90% there.

It flows
