yeah and then he consistently mops up to the US and NATO like the good little puppy he is, its insufferable. He has zero political credibility left in france, he actually stopped making tv speeches because literally no one watches them.

Appreciation post for db0 admins in light of .world blocking /c/ piracy and similar /c/'s .

I understand why they did what they did and it makes me think of how db0 and other admins are saying fuck all and taking a very big liability for making and supporting a free internet and i want to say all the work you do is very much appreciated. Also shoutout to lemmy.ml admins for running a similar community on their own ....

or resident evil village, that was such an embarassing blunder for such a good game, their DRM checked every single time an enemy died, every single time. It was legit unplayable unless you had a monster pc

Look up philip cross wikipedia editor, then maybe you will understand why we call that shit website Natopedia, and why we’re building an alternative. Keep in mind thats just one case of wikipedia being a tool of the status quo.

I wouldnt qualify them as far right, imo theyre more opportunist than anything, they use whatever crisis of the moment to shit stir and sell more copies. Its a bizarro mix of a lot of different influences, they have good takes sometimes, other times youre better off just tossing the thing in a fire to keep warm

Im not surprised marianne came out with this, but im also confused because their editorial line has been for the most part firmly pro ukraine ever since 2022? Very on brand for this opportunistic magazine

arent sugar free sodas even worse tho?

Warner Bros. is now erasing games as it plans to delist Adult Swim-published titles ( www.polygon.com )

Warner Bros. Discovery is telling developers it plans to start “retiring” games published by its Adult Swim Games label, game makers who worked with the publisher tell Polygon. At least three games are under threat of being removed from Steam and other digital stores, with the fate of other games published by Adult Swim...

Lol good luck erasing the thousands of torrents of these games, piracy makes deleting something impossible, but im sure theyll try!

wasnt there a case where a very rare film was found thanks to torrents? Or a book? I dont quite remember but if I recall correctly it boosted the popularity and image of piracy?

having lived there for some time, and being familiar with local politics, I wouldnt be surprised if going to palestine to help would earn you the scorn of the government and a vacation in jail.

I tried, I really did

I’ve been an IT professional for 20 years now, but I’ve mainly dealt with Windows. I’ve worked with Linux servers through out the years, but never had Linux as a daily driver. And I decided it was time to change. I only had 2 requirements. One, I need to be able to use my Nvidia 3080 ti for local LLM and I need to be able...

And this here is exactly why i usually reply with some snark whenever someone claims I should use linux. Im not an IT guy, im a 3D artist with very limited knowledge of operating systems and computers, i did try to get linux only to find out that most of the programs I need to work with are broken in some way on linux, and updating them is a pain in the ass on a good day. Rendering also works in a very strange way, for some reason renderman requires using a terminal to work? Meanwhile on windows i can just launch my stuff and it works and rendering is as simple as clicking a button. I know window sucks, but at least its predictable and does what i need it to do.

CGPeers moment

Installing cracked NukeX 14.0 and trying not to get sued

finally got access to CGPeers and snatched a copy of NukeX, I’m still worried that Foundry will still somehow snatch my hardware ID and send me a threatening email. I’ve already wiped Nuke and all related files from my hardware and nuked my foundry account, anything else I could do in order to shield myself a bit more before...

@bazingabrain@hexbear.net avatar

nope, im a student and im only using it to learn, if I had a valid license I wouldnt be out here trying to crack it lol, but 500 dollars a year for a student license is simply not something I can afford.

bazingabrain OP ,
@bazingabrain@hexbear.net avatar

im not terrified tbh because thankfully my country classes threatening emails as blackmail and that shit wont stand in court anyways as long as no one replies, but id rather not earn a lifelong hdiw ban from them.

@bazingabrain@hexbear.net avatar

funny thing is, since HADOPI was defunded, you can literally torrent like a madman without a VPN and no one will ever bother you, because the very thing supposed to stop people like me was defunded by the EU! Its nuts lol, but its also really damn convenient, I do keep it hush hush and only torrent sparsely and rarely, and never big files.

judging by the recent shitstorm the idiotic admin made on hexbear, no wonder I got such assholes replying to my post.

i followed the snack exchange subreddit thing from day one, that little piece of shit was so utterly removedish in so many ways. First time i genuinely wanted to doxx someone because YOU KNOW that dork looks like so-true irl

ive never read something so pathetic, in fact im going to PM him on reddit right now to mock him.

Yo, what was your first computer? How old were you, where and how did you get it, what did you do with it, etc.

TL;DR It was an old Wang system, 286 processor(I think, anyway), with no hard drive, a 5.25" floppy drive, and a lovely green monochrome monitor. I didn’t have it long enough to reach the point where I could have identified the actual hardware/specs....

A hand me down from my rich uncle, he paid 5k for it back in the late 2000s, but what I vividly remember was the humongus and ridiculously heavy gaming CRT monitor it came with. That monitor was one of the last gaming CRT monitors ever made, the Sony GDM-FW900, it was expensive as hell back then and still is these days. I remember playing for hours and sweating buckets, that thing would output so much heat it was unreal. The table it sat on would get so hot, i had to move the monitor somewhere else to cool it, huge bubbles formed under it. But man the colors were so crisp, the deepest blacks ive ever seen on a screen, OLED has nothing on that old CRT tech, it also had incredible refresh rates. That system was so powerful it could still run late 2010s game on medium, but eventually parts that couldnt be replaced started to fail and the monitor eventually broke, couldnt find anyone able (or willing) to repair it, apparently repairing it was already hard back then. Eventually i saved up and bought myself a very good build for ~1k, dont use it much for games now, mostly for 3D work.

Run 3D software without any headaches. Yes i tried on linux, no it wasnt easy.

bazingabrain ,
@bazingabrain@hexbear.net avatar

Renderman, c4D, certain Maya extensions and addons, Nuke and Houdini cant run on linux at all, many indie 3D softwares wont even allow you to install on linux, Marvelous designer wont work, and a shit ton of rendering engines wont work either, the insufferable people here are linux nerds yelling at everyone theyre stupid for using something convenient
