I got engaged and travelled across the Atlantic to be with someone I met on irc

Interesting. Any idea why this is happening to SmokeAPI but not cream?

there’s unsmoked bacon out there which very much does not have the taste that you’re describing (I know because I specifically avoid that smokey taste).

I used to use aptoide for piracy many years ago. I guess that’s not a thing anymore?

A DNS blocker like pihole, nextdns, adguard etc might help with that.

Also even reccomended torrent search engine websites suck and only crawls through some websites is there any you would rec

Stop using these sources and learn how to use qBittorrent with Jackett. You can search hundreds of trackers all ata once in seconds. You won’t miss anything unless it’s literally just not available anywhere.

Wonder what living there is like, apparently there’s around 30 or so people.

creamapi and related tools will not get you banned.

Unless you use them on multiplayer games, wouldn’t try that.

Just block the ads with a DNS blocker, like NextDNS.

Not necessarily :) see my reply

Bonus: don’t have time and want to just auto-subscribe to all (please note this isn’t reversible without manually unsubbing yourself, there’s a lot of niche communities here that may not appeal to you - you can remove them from the JSON file if needed)?

• On PC, download this JSON file
• On PC, download Lemmy Migration Tool (download the relevant .zip file)
• Unzip folder, run file. Lemmy Migration Tool will now be open, like in this pic.
• Note: in the Settings tab, you may wish to untick everything except Upload Community Subscriptions. Failure to do so may result in your Lemmy settings being changed.
• Click the Upload tab. Then, enter your instance name and login details, click the upload button and upload the JSON file.
• It’ll automatically subscribe you to them all. If it looks like it’s frozen, it hasn’t. Just let it run. If you’re on a small instance, you may need to re-run it a couple times (it can error if your instance hasn’t discovered the community yet, this is solved on a rerun).

Of course, some may not be of interest or may overload your feed (meme communities can do this). Unsubscribe as needed.

I feel like it has more to do with the technological advances than being more prone to conflict

A big budget doesn’t guarantee success though. See LOTR series.

Yup. Reality. No point using a hyper secure chat system if literally nobody you know is using it.

Work, go home, rest, sleep.

I still remember the ordeal of getting through the Fade portion of Origins… it was awful.

The rest of the game was top notch though

I’m cautious about this game. It’s been redeveloped like 3 times into completely different genres, pretty much nothing has been shown about it, and Bioware is nothing like it was years back.

American internet prices are wild.

The more on Lemmy the better, across the board. But convincing them to actually do so seems unlikely unfortunately.

Exist? yes.

Do they work? I have no idea. I’ve never seen anyone use them in like 15+ years.
