Torrents suck for things that aren't all that popular. Once the last seeder stops seeding, that torrent is useless.

Isn't that just everyone who bought the game?

Nothing at all really. The cloud is just a convenient way to transfer documents and notes (but you can still do so over USB).

The only thing that really needs the cloud service is transfer from and to mobile devices, which is an understandable niche. The Remarkable does not act like a regular USB drive. Instead, when plugged in, it acts as a virtual network device, and you browse to it on a browser, uploading and downloading documents via a browser interface. This behaviour doesn't seem to work properly on Android and Apple sure as hell don't allow it on iOS.

If you really must have direct access to the files and OS, it allows for SSH access as root, and provides a surprisingly full featured Linux environment. If you're the experimenting type, you can even put homebrew applications on the device, and it has a modest homebrew app community. Just...be really fucking careful not to bork the OS to the point SSH doesn't work, else you're fucked unless you wanna tinker at the hardware level. Also, direct access to the document files isn't as useful as you'd think because their internal filesystem is confusing as shit. You're always better off using the device or cloud web interfaces.

I got myself a Remarkable. Expensive but omg so fucking useful compared to most e-readers.

You'd be surprised how hard the task is. Any given identifier can be trivially changed. IP addresses aren't permanent and change frequently for home users. Multiple people genuinely use the same IP. People are likely to have very similar writing styles to someone else by complete coincidence. Browser fingerprinting can be thrown off by simply using another browser or fucking with the User Agent.

That about puts paid to any identifiers either Reddit or an instance owner may have.

Why yes, that slur does apply to me! You see, I have autism and don't take particularly kindly to that slur.

Unlike you though, I actually have to tell people before they know there's something wrong with me. Because, again unlike you, I can act like a normal human being. As opposed to acting like a 5 year old that just learned the r-word. Sorry, I can tell you need an explanation for these things!

You can't, not effectively. This ain't necessarily a federation problem though, centralised social media has the same problem. You can do the same on Reddit.

That's not to say there aren't things that can be done. Instances can agree to implement shared banlists that include known-abusive IPs or, if an abusive user has a habit of using a pattern in their evasion usernames, you can use a Regex to hunt them out.

Just because you ain't got the braincells to make the connection doesn't mean others can't.

Speaking of overuse, you sure are using the r-word liberally for someone who couldn't get the joke. Or is it one of those "I'm black therefore I can use the N-word" kind of things?

Dunno why you of all people are insulting their intelligence.

While they made a clever double reference to the GNU/Linux meme and tying it in with the Ballmer 'Linux is cancer' rant, you not only come out with a one word response, but that one word makes you look infinitely worse than the person who literally made a cancer joke upon news of a diagnosis.

Maybe ableist slurs weren't the best idea?

You're misunderstanding what's happened.

The author has relinquished his copyright on the Fables universe. Every work based on it has its own copyright, however.

So while you can make your own stories in the Fables universe, it doesn't mean that things like The Wolf Among Us game from Telltale have had their copyrights affected in any way.

That makes no sense. Black Flag is a completely different genre to modern AC.

Then isn't the correct solution to sue Nvidia?

It's a legal issue with a legal solution.
