1337x usually has whatever I need. Although I mostly just pirate games and the occasional movie or series. I don’t have fuck you money to run a data center in my garage

What’s wrong with driving a 98 Corolla? That was the best era for cars.

As much as I’d like to drive 90s shitboxes for the rest of my life, the cynic in me thinks we’ll see something like cash for clunkers on a global scale. It’s only a matter of time before the supply runs dry and parts become nearly impossible to find at a reasonable price

Ponte las pilas papito

Japan lost and they still deny the horrible, Holocaust-tier atrocities they committed during WW2

Argentina can’t even afford weapons

When I was in college, libreoffice calc was a good enough Excel alternative to get me through finance, accounting, statistics and business science. I graduated in 2020 to give you some perspective. Worst case you run a pirated Windows VM with pirated Office. Also, shame on all the downvoting fucks who probably are too privileged to have any business being on this community

Don’t cut yourself on that edge bud

There’s a lot of good advice in here. If shit hits the fan and nothing else works, you can install the repack in a Windows VM, copy the install directory to the host, and add the exe to Bottles. Easy money

As someone who works with this framework for a living, don’t learn it on your free time. It’s absolutely worth learning vanilla Java, but you can learn Spring Boot on the job

That’s a dangerous niche to operate in. It’s a userbase that wants pure freedom and randomness. But as a business you can’t have middle-aged men trying to see underaged girls naked. As a teen I frequented Omegle and Chatroulette but we’re well past the Wild West days of the web

But that was the lifeblood of Omegle from the start

I mean i don’t know if I’d describe a platform where perverts jerk off in front of kids as one with conscience but it’s 2023

I used to use Omegle, that’s so sad. I saw a few years ago they turned to a more closed off model whereas it used to be more open and random. Maybe that had something to do with it

Qrd? (Quick rundown for boomers)

I play a lot of older AAA games and piracy has been a life saver. I tried playing Assassin’s Creed 4 with a legit steam copy and couldn’t even play offline because of the stupid Ubisoft launcher. With a pirated copy, you skip the launcher and get a better experience than a paying customer. Just stick to reputable groups like fitgirl and you’re fine

It’s not so bad. I’m just a lowly webdev and my work with Java is mostly just basic CRUD operations

I write Java for a living and the places I’ve worked have used Lombok to cut down on the boilerplate code

Not so much for sysadmin (more so just for onboarding), but definitely in the cyber world where having a clearance is almost a requirement. They might not test all the time but during the investigation they basically want people who are clean cut or have at least had their act together for a few years
