I always went to soulseekqt.net which I guess is just an alias. I feel like I've been in some kind of weird bubble.

I've never seen that abbreviation for it before. What you see in search results depends on who's accounts are online so keep checking every once in a while. My other suggestion is if you use qbittorrent, it actually has a torrent search that I think is disabled for legal disability or something.

Oh no the government wants me to have children. Is there no end to their heinousness?

Just use soulseek or something

Reminder that your google account has a name which is not just your email address. If you don't use google's other services besides gmail and youtube, you probably don't remember what it is. And you probably put in something stupid if not completely offensive. If you suddenly have to use google docs or something, people will see it.

There are some users who are dicks that ban people, but you'll only be banned from that one person's downloads. If it happens just download from someone else who's not a psychopath about it. Most people on soulseek want to share. It's not a private tracker and there's no e-penis to be gained. DO share your own collection though because you might as well.

That was mostly me. I put a copy on a clean 2tb hard drive and repeatedly hit Ctrl-A Ctrl-C Ctrl-V. Then when it was full I pressed Ctrl+A and Delete and started the process all over. I went mad with power and don't even know how many copies I stole.

Consider that your warning, Nintendo. Shut down Yuzu and I'll activate the batch script.

I never figured this out. When I play switch games it's always a version that bundles the emulator with it and has all the keys and bios crap already configured.

I'm pretty sure Tim Hortons has had access to AI menu changes for years now. It would explain a lot.

How is this notable or interesting then? I thought we were all just accepting that malicious software is an inherent part of all open platforms.

They change the interface pretty much every day. The people managing the image search are especially on crack. Features are disabled and then come back and then they're disabled and then they come back... I just go to Bing now. I'm sorry my desire to search square images was such a monkey wrench in your business model google.

 

Most people have extremely weird ideas of what's considered piracy and what isn't. Downloading a video game rom is piracy, but if you pay money to some Chinese retailer for an SD card containing the roms, that's somehow not piracy. Exploiting the free trial on a streaming site by using prepaid visa cards is somehow not piracy either. Torrenting an album is piracy, but listening to a bootleg on YouTube isn't.

YouTube noticed this at some point and is now happy to let everyone know how much pirated music is available on their site. One of their main points for shilling YouTube premium is how their music catalogue is way better than Spotify. Of course the piracy site has more. That's always how it works. Spotify actually has to license the music on their platform and is subject to copyright law. They can't just get the Neil Young discography from soulseek one day and wait until his estate notices, facing no repercussions whatsoever aside from agreeing to a takedown request. Imagine if Pirate Bay or Napster were considered completely above-board businesses just because they took down torrents if explicitly requested by the copyright holders.

Not that I'm complaining especially when a lot of the music on youtube isn't publicly accessible anywhere else. It's just been extremely strange to see this go from an "open secret" to something they're shouting from the rooftops and face no repercussions for. In the future I want everything to be like that and I'd rather keep youtube how it is than see them get the punishment that by all rights they should be getting. It's just so strange that this is the position things have ended up in.
