@kemotep @nostupidquestions I mean developing and hosting them is illegal and that’s because devs and stores are the lowest common denominator effectively limiting and disincentiving people from using them which I think is the point of a law so I think my statement is still accurate.

@muntedcrocodile does obtanium auto update like f-droid basic? I’ve never seen it notify an auto update.

“GitHub initially complied but later changed course. After consulting legal experts, including those at the EFF, it restored the youtube-dl repository. GitHub also launched a million-dollar defense fund to assist developers in similar disputes.”

Why is Github protecting them? They removed bypass paywalls, no?

@A32topsL I use -S “codec” to download av1 then failing that vp9… but seems to be impossible now :(

@A32topsL Yeah but for most other videos they download the best but for some God-given already downloaded videos it forces 360p (my commandline)

@A32topsL Still forced 360p. I’ve already added screenshots. Seems -S is the culprit.

@A32topsL That doesn’t download av1 by default no? I’ve also downloaded some of the videos before with no problems

@liveinthisworld @gwen Does that even help bypass their firewall when the native app doesn’t work

@bjoern_tantau This is Tumbleweed correct? I remember its iso being 800 mb small

@bjoern_tantau I meant without having to use command line to get lxqt

@32z0WQSy2TuOsfxCSZfc @nostupidquestions Hmmm. Found GeckoLinux lxqt from this. I remember and read GeckoLinux also having a Leap version. I wonder what happened to it?

@sqgl @Kissaki They’ll prolly get dmca’d first

@db2 Because unlike Twitter, Reddit isn’t dying from being so unprofitable :boo_hoo:

@nostupidquestions Hmm. Just logged in through another app and it said server is using unsupported software

@DoucheBagMcSwag @Flatworm7591 What’s the news with Discord and by home you mean Dubai?

@ultratiem @piracysails The piracy megathread site says that’s a fake clone https://rentry.co/megathread-unsafe-sites

@lvxferre Define meaningful changes to core gameplay and Gamefreak doesn’t seem to have perverse monetary incentives to power creep so I’m just guessing a more benign creative block here rather than willful. I don’t think people buy Pokemon games for the competitive esports aspects anyway even though I see a lot of changes in later gens clearly geared towards VGC gameplay.

@lvxferre I know there are perverse incentives for power creep for games with in-game monetization but even with MOBAs who produce less and have less combinatorial possibilities on moves/items can have power creep so I don’t think mass production alone does it. I’d reckon power creep is a demand side problem, people get more dopamine when something they use is overpowered. Also legendary power creep prolly started with Gen III Kyogre rain-boosted STAB Choice Specs 150 base power spread move.

@sleepybisexual Aside from what lvxferre said, there’s also Stealth Rock with very ineffective way of removing it because of ghost types, random 120 base power moves and the physical/special split essentially buffing the coverage of offensive pokemon (Gengars can actually use Ghost type moves). Essentially the gen that made dragons overpowered. I guess you can say these are all subtle. Gen 6 onwards just made it more blatant with gimmicks like mega-evolutions, z-moves and terrain.

@lvxferre @sleepybisexual Gen IV was when the real power creep started to happen.
