hey I just wanted to share that I moved to a small, remote-ish village in Greece about a year ago (born & raised in Athens, a “big” city for our standards, the biggest in Greece) and it’s quite close to that.
It’s been amazing although I miss ordering food online and maybe the occasional bar/coffee with friends.
It’s almost inside a forest and 15’ drive from both mountain and amazing beaches
Thank you for listening, I honestly hope that everyone has the choice to do the same <3
I really need to test them as well. Being ~100GB each is quite good for me, I won’t need more than 100 for my whole life
I get it about stuff that you don’t really care about But if I spend a day looking for a specific movie, I’m taking it to my grave
Damn I read “my cat needed to be enthusiased and I just received her ashes” and though WTF did you do to make her so excited?
side note: enthusiased is not an english word but in greek (ενθουσιασμενος) it makes sense and it translates to “excited”
I’m so happy about steam’s monopoly. I almost feel like they’re there for us, they broke capitalism
exactly that, INCLUDING server-side binaries to re-create any online features
I could argue that the source code should become public domain as well but we already sound like crazy people
discs are a personal archiving solution (quite a bad one too, unless you’re into m-discs n stuff) and do not solve the data accessibility issue (copying it is labor intensive and needs human interaction, in contrast to a torrent)
Just a side note that M-DISC exists which is essentially a blue ray disk with a claimed longevity of a thousand years (strong emphasis on “claimed”. there’s a lot of controversy around it)
but yes the only way to retain access is piracy as it allows people that didn’t have the media to get it
in greek (also gender for every noun, chair is female, dog is male and washing machine is “neutral”) it’s weird when someone uses the wrong gender. mostly non-natives mix them up
borrowed words are mostly neutral like μπουζί (spark plug) or ντουζ (shower)
as to what’s english missing I’d say complexity. Learning english and just being able to throw “the” behind any inanimate object is amazing. Also learning the genders that differ from your own language (learning french for example where a cat I think is male but in greek it’s female) is even more difficult
I tried it and I got wrist pain that I never had from the horizontal mouse
I guess my body is completely set? (been using a normal mouse for many, many hours since I was 10yo)
γερμανος κ ξερο ψωμι!
BTW: please don’t root/install magisk on a phone you use <3
woah these are amazing! never seen them before!
that’s very fucked up
i’d say to him to install a small computer or something (raspi?), leave it there and leak the pdfs slowly - would take weeks, maybe months
while what you say totally stands in capitalism, lsd and weed are probably quite bad ideas.
i think.
it’s the best thing we’ve got. and honestly, it ain’t that bad
personally the first week it fucked me up but after that, life changing effects. truly life changing.
yeap steam is the best example of a service i’d very happily pay - I’ve paid LOTS to them and just last month, I downloaded “have a nice death” for yuzu, played 30", loved it and insta bought it on steam. It was 25 euros but having my saves forever and being able to single click install & play is something that I value more.
you don’t get to get my money AND fuck me, pick one (netflix, youtube, etc.)
that being good at your job doesn’t define you. it’s not a “trait”, it’s not a label. sometimes you’re good, sometimes you’re bad and sometimes you just are.
it’s just a job after all and a job should never be more than that: just a job
what I want to stress out at this point is that due to the techniques required to crack a game (dll injection, ssl pinning bypass, syscall hooking and more) are used by malware
that though leaves you completely unaware if the crack is benign or not. It could be or it could be not. “but it worked fine for me” is also not a good enough pointer as it’s very common practice making the malware run only under certain conditions (after a month, only when the PC is idle or the screen is locked, or make it extremely lightweight - just upload all your browser cookies once a day
if you get hit by something like this there’s no going back. you need to format. there are very, VERY weird ways that a malware can replicate/hide itself to.
software has, is and always will be a game of trust. do you trust the cracker? or even the company that makes the software? and if so, why
I always suggest to never run cracks on a machine that is used to log into personal accounts
The only crack that I actually trust is mass grave (windows & office crack). It’s a powershell script so you can just read its source code
not a huge difference i’d say. in athens you can get really good food
