I don't know enough about the fediverse, but maybe a Magazine for legit online artist shops would be a good idea.

Maybe I'll try making one once I've spent enough time to understand what I'm doing on here.

Depends, really. Some just feel squicky about breaking copyright law.

NGL I kinda feel a bit obligated to be extra careful out of deference to a relative's relationship to a lawyer, haha.

But in general, I try to conduct myself in the model of the ideal world I want to live in, if I can.

In the best world, there's no piracy because everyone gets their fair dues, and users get fair access to their purchased goods. But I also ain't judging others who do pirate or do other stuff with their own things, because we definitely don't live in that world, and corporations do not deserve to have a monopoly on access to media like that.

And, really, its just not right. As a fan of classic, old games, I can't respect not technically pirating entirely, when it means the loss of amazing games. Like the amazing 3DS Virtual Boy emulation projects! Or just soooo many classic, otherwise lost adventure games.

I'm probably not going to wind up playing those, but the world is worse if not for people technically pirating.

Do you know of good alternatives?

Buahaha, that got a laugh outta me

I mean, I would unironically dig that aesthetic updated with the bluejeans meme. The coat could be super comfy if it didn't get paired with aweful breeches/bloomers or whatever you call those janky ass knickers.

...But the meme would probably just Jeg up the lawn and wig

I actually paid someone to rip my WiiU BotW for me years ago because I like being legit legit, but most people either feel like its morally 100% fine to download a copy if they bought one, or don't even know that its technically not legal.

Ripping your own ROMs tends to put your system at risk of bricking or being banned from online play. Its just not a desirable thing to do, so fans who care enough about the game to see it run at q higher quality or with lovingly crafted mods are very likely the ones who already purchased the game and are downloading a new copy.

I would love to see Yuzu run a poll to see how many people already purchased the game. Even if its anecdotal, maybe it would prove a point that people are crying out for more content and will go to illegal means to get it

Knew an RD who worked with a lot of Southern rural patients.

She would have to unironically tell them to just not eat anything they didn't hit themselves

Whatever happened to internet etiquette?
You (or the person commissioning the book) ask before you do this kinda thing!

Etsy is supposed to carry the torch for that kinda small community vibe of mature adults making money from their side business.

These folks deserve to get a bit flamed, because this feels like 2009 drama we should have collectively figured out forever ago

I mean, I know you're looking for piracy sources, but the 3D printing sphere is pretty much full of tech hippies.

This may go against the spirit of this server and all, but if you're just looking to print for personal use, there's a very real possibility that you can just ask.

I've hit up a few people before, stating that I wanted to print their STLs for my own personal use and sometimes they said no, but more than half the time, they just let me have it.

Usually something like:

"Hey, your project looks really great! I've been on a bit of a tight budget lately, but I do have my old printer and some filament lying around- would it be possible to get a copy of your STL files pro bono?
I would love to get my hands on it, and will definitely post a make to your page!"
(It definitely helps if you have some quality finished product images, so you're kinda free advertising for them)

I don't make the personal choice to pirate, (and I'm not here to judge) but I figured my kinda approach still may suit your needs.

Yes, with extra steps lol

I use Gboard with the one handed option always enabled, so I can keep my keyboard exactly where I want it on the screen.

Some health issues make excessive keystrokes painful, and my phone is big enough already. I have it adjusted to about the keyboard size of a Galaxy S2 on screen keyboard, and to the right.

I keep Hacker's Keyboard if I ever wind up playing something old school, though I usually wind up playing Pathos if I get an itch for NetHack on the go.

If anyone has a good option for keyboards you can force to keep on top for Accessability/gaming purposes, though, let me know.
