The obscure content thing is an issue I’ve run into especially looking for ~70s era sci-fi or horror movies that are regarded as cult classics or underrated online.
Big fan of SBC gaming, open source engine recreations/source ports, gaming in general, alternative operating systems, and all things modding.
Trying to post and comment often in an effort to add to Lemmy’s growth.

If you are looking for software you might want to look for websites that list open source projects.
I can’t really think of decent mega lists though. The FMHY one does have a lot of simply free things but it is mixed in with a lot of pirated content.
I feel like he would continue trying even after his turn limit if he won
I don’t think there’s much escaping that besides finding a small niche instance or blocking communities that aren’t relevant to you.
Each social media site has a stereotype demographic and I don’t see Lemmy’s changing in the foreseeable future.
Redditors using “This” is another thing I hated. It adds nothing to the conversation and came off as someone fishing for upvotes
I miss a lot of the smaller dedicated communities. There were a lot there were essentially mirrored from Reddit but a lot of the userbase disappeared. They are widely federated and posts get votes and comments but there’s not a lot of people putting out content.
What I don’t miss is the power mods and all the auto mods. They just get tiring.
I’d say it’s pretty predictable and comes in waves as issues come up.
For example some people from exploding-heads posting rightwing content outside their instance before they were widely defederated.
Another example is when illegal content was being posted in large communities and Lemmy.world started blocking users from posting/commenting using a VPN.
Other than that it’s a lot of knowing your audience.
I told a coworker this once and they went from saying African Americans to just loudly whisper the word black like it was a derogatory term.
Gotham Steel pans. They work decent the first couple times but I found the non-stick part of it wore down real quick
Internet Historian made a pretty good video about it a couple years ago
I don’t feel like Chromebooks are all that bad. Especially if the other option is limited capacity computer rooms. I imagine the restrictions of a Chromebook would be similar to the limitations imposed by the IT department.
What did it do better than other RSS readers?
When you say upgraded do you mean changed to a new device or just updated the OS?
If it’s the former you might be able to extract the app and transfer it and crack it yourself.
What is it exactly? Some kind of developer mode to bypass the login screen?
I wonder how this will work with local accounts
What are you trying to do that you don’t think you can do on Linux? Also there’s ways to install Windows 11 on unsupported systems.
Some people use Usenet for that kind of thing. I typically stumble across things I have been looking for on other social sites. For example someone makes a post with Adult Swim pilots and specials and other people will add additional material they happen to have. Sometimes it can help to think of what category what you are looking for is under then lurk around there for something like a bundle or a mislabeled version.
Probably not the answer you are looking for but thought I’d mention it
Good to known I thought there would be other giveaways like not having the DLC registered to your account but somehow having the achievements for it.
In that example though there might be some ways that could happen legitimately like having Fallout New Vegas on Steam but using DLC acquired from a physical copy or GOG.
I feel like I heard before no one has gotten banned for it yet but it just seemed a bit too easy to me
I don’t even like connecting to the net with pirated games. Always feel I’ll get banned and I used game piracy to test drive them.
Pirated games wouldn’t be associated with your Steam account so I don’t think you would be banned.
Even using the Steam API I don’t think you would unless you were sharing it openly or were making an obscene amount of requests.
That said I don’t know a ton about online fixes or using CreamAPI to unlock DLC for games you own so maybe it would be possible to get banned in that regard.
I think they’re aware of your stash of full Family Guy episodes on Youtube featuring random zooms.
Also doesn’t the RIAA only cover the music industry?
