oh huh ok that was the only thing that made any sense but it seemed like a weird context for that term.

to answer the question I think it really depends on the person but I wouldn’t wanna go on a hike with anon, that’s for sure.

what do you mean by “1st date PC”?

I mean yeah if you enjoy the homelab project aspect of it that’s great, personally I was looking into setting up a similar stack when I stumbled across a reddit post of someone who had a similarly huge library that was collecting dust because they just used stremio all the time instead.

that post is actually how I first heard about stremio lol

this is a fully integrated frontend that looks like a proper streaming app using a debrid service to provide the content, it’s a wooooorld of difference.

much much much more convenient and less AP than traditional pirating.

look up a guide on how to set up stremio with torrentio and realdebrid. takes all of 15-30 minutes to set up and $15 for 6 months of being able to stream practically anything all in one place. ad free

(I know not an answer but I figured an actual solution to the problem was preferable to a 20th person explaining enshittification lol)

eta the important part

I am equal parts appreciative of unprompted cat tax and perturbed at light mode ide >:c

you’re not thinking! you’re on drugs!

example 1 is from a year ago, 2 is new so it may still be a thing but likely something they’ve already dealt with and 3 is from “someone close to CVC” how on earth are you gonna take that as fact?

from mod ayiza’s response to that 3rd one:

"To give some context in the form of data, here are some ban stats:

Last year we banned over 6.9 million accounts.

So far in 2024, each week on average, we ban over 2,300 RuneScape accounts.

So far in 2024, each week on average, we ban over 67,000 Old School RuneScape accounts.

Of these accounts, 2,800 are for botting popular boss-related content.

Each week, around 1.5T GP is removed from the RuneScape economy.

Each week, around 900B GP is removed from the Old School RuneScape economy. "

they’re playing wack-a-mole because there’s no possible way to preemptively ban bots, but they’ve done a good job of it and will continue to.

they’ve done a really good job culling the bots in osrs, imo the biggest hurdle in it is the long boring grinds it takes to get to midgame pvm where it starts getting really really fun.

I’d also say that if you think rs3 is the default game you are very mistaken

osrs has been the more popular game by far for almost a decade now.

nice keming on that one

is this loss?

this is fucking amazing
