100% agree.

I'm 50 years old and I am the IT guy for people of all ages. Not because I am part of some gifted generation that understands computers, but because I have a genuine interest and took the time to learn these things.

My 16yo son also has a keen interest in computers and I am passing on my knowledge where I can.

I somewhat feel that attributing computer knowledge to a generational thing in some way diminishes the effort and time it took to get the knowledge and experience that I do have.

You don't have to have hung around with Henry Ford to be a car guy, or Nikola Tesla to be an electrician.

I already have two kids. Is it too late to adopt this lifestyle?

For day to day use I generally grab anything that I am interested in and leave it seeding indefinitely, or until I need to prune to free up some space.

If I need to boost ratio I grab something that is new and hot to seed for a bit. In general though, I try to seed things that have lower seeder counts so that they remain available. Many times these are not things that I am really interested in.

If you are not using any private trackers then I suggest you get on one and just be active. If there is a particular thing you are interested in then there is probably a tracker for it.

I also seed Linux ISOs but those are public so it doesn't help when it comes to ratio or anything. It's just a thing that I do because I can.

I recently watched Twisted Metal and it was pretty darn good. Who doesn't love cars with guns?

That is a good way to explain it. Well done.

I read somewhere that the base game pass for console doesn't include online multiplayer. That seems weird but might explain why the price is close to gold.

I tried for a long time to find reliable sources for the races and kept hitting a wall. Any sources I did find didn't last or were unreliable. I eventually gave up looking.

I finally bought F1 TV Pro and don't regret it one bit. The stream quality is great and being able to switch cameras whenever I want is a huge feature. The value added features are why I will continue to pay for it.

Not yet. I have all of the altars in Fractured Peaks so far. Other than that I haven't specifically been looking for them. I probably should be I suppose.

Yeah. I tried to grab the binaries which are on GitHub of course.

[–] Aceofspades@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

I went to the releases page which links to GitHub. I will clone the repo instead.

Already taken down. I tried to grab a copy but wasn't fast enough.

Yup. They will use the fact that a user said they pirated a movie as a starting point. If Reddit capitulated and handed over the user info that could be used to hunt for more evidence and possibly connect them to other pirates. It would open a juicy can of worms for these bottom feeders. Good on Reddit for standing up for their users.
