  • Look at the history. Shit like this always happens. They rise, then they fall. The world gets right, then gets left. It gets a mess, then it gets stable. Etc etc etc

    Edit: the bad part is that it will always come at a great cost. So right now it’s the question what the price will be, that we as humanity will have to pay. We can go as far as mass extinction these days. I thought we couldn’t go there, as during the cold war we didn’t either. But now that I know how close we came, what tiny things there were that prevented it… Right now we have a lot more radical, religious and dumb people in places of power. I don’t know man.

    But if it doesn’t come to that, it will go back to the left but goes too far, then it will go more to the right again but people still remember so it won’t go too far right, then people see it doesn’t work and chose a more stable left. Then there will be a period of stability, until everything starts to happen all over again. It’s our human nature.






  • Wow that’s sick! Would love to fix that next to all the other automated download systems I have, but I now have money and I want to support the artists. Maybe still a good idea for the impossible to get music which isn’t sold anywhere. Like tekno. Thanks! I’ll look into soularr. I know soulseek, but last time I tried it, it fucked up my internet connection settings somehow. Really weird. I wanted to try it again, after not using it for… 15 years now? But yeah, all internet access was blocked when I opened slsk. Also the music I have to share is old. And back then the quality was poor. I have a 2TB music collection but I think 3/4 of it is poor quality mp3’s.






  • Being a pirate means taking from assholes who do not deserve it. If you take from anyone you’re an asshole yourself.

    I pirate AAA games because they do not deserve my money, as the poor gameplay vallue doesn’t exceed 2 hours. I pay for indie games because they deliver, it’s worth my money.

    I used to be in the navy, went on deployment to Somalia several times to hunt pirates. I deeply regret it. Because althoug they have no choice and do what they do because of what us western countries did to them, they do horrible things to others who do not deserve it. But in the end we as a rich western society are the cause for their despair. So we are responsible for what they are forced to do to others. I ended up with PTSD.

    You can be a pirate with principles. Especially when mega corps and billionaires are forcing society into submission, forcing people to work to just to survive and/or force people to be someone they are not.

    Fight the oppression. Piracy isn’t a crime, it’s symptom of a crime. Also, these days you do not own the media you purchase. It’s not theft when you steal something which you cannot own it when you purchase it.
