In my country, 99% of the time you contact technical support, a poorly made bot responds (actually it is a while loop) with ambiguous and pre-written answers, and the only way to talk to a human is directly by going to the place in question, so nothing to worry about that here.

Dumb question, why don’t you use Garuda for everything?

Wouldn’t this also completely break ad blockers?

For those who have this problem and have installed Heroic as a flatpak, remember to add the path of the storage you are trying to access to the directories allowed by Heroic using tools like Flatseal.

It had happened to me before, it depends from book to book, try another source.

Didn’t even know that Zerotier exists, I have to check it out, thanks!

I don’t have special knowledge in this area, but I’m sure that on torrent sites (available on the Megathread) you could find courses, documentation or books on the subject.

Great, thanks.

To be honest I don’t know and I didn’t care at the time I used it either because I knew nothing about software or computer security and just listened to what some random youtuber said, but you’re probably right.

Holy fuck this looks useful, thanks for sharing!

I would give you an award if I could, so take a emoji: 🏆️

Friendly reminder that you can still access the site via Tor, simply access the official GoG-Games Mastodon account and copy the address where it says ‘Tor’, now copy the address into the Tor browser and that’s it!

Remember that you should not download the file through Tor, you should simply obtain the file address to download it through your regular browser.

Sometimes it takes a long time to connect or gives a connection timed out error, but at least for me it eventually works after a while.

Edit: Stop upvoting me, it seems they not only deleted the link to the tor site, but when you try to access it, it tells you that the site doesn’t exist anymore. :(

Ups my bad, you’re right, I meant mp3.

I usually use mp4 but what format do you suggest?

You are absolutely right and I had not considered your second point, after all it is a free site and it would be hosting free stuff stupidly, but it wouldn’t necessarily have to be a site hosted by someone, it could simply be a torrent index (although that would have to be hosted by someone else, but you won’t need exabytes of space or unlimited bandwidth) where the users themselves share and host the file, it would make sense? probably not at all, but on torrent you will find those who share Ubuntu ISOs and music downloaded directly from Youtube, maybe someone did something like that with NexusMods.

I don’t have the slightest problem creating accounts, my problem comes when I create an account and my inbox starts to fill up with spam, and it doesn’t matter if I delete my account, they already have my email in their database, which they are probably going to share or sell to third parties. I’m not saying it’s the case of Nexusmods, honestly it’s the first time I use it in my life, but there are millions of websites, how can I trust one or the other? Simple, I don’t, that’s why I use temporary emails and email maskers.

I love when people assume things beforehand.

For future reference, you can create an account with a Simplelogin forward mail!

From the beginning I assumed it wasn’t possible but maybe someone knew something I didn’t, like those pages (not sure if they still work) to download Steam Workshop files without a Steam account or without having the game at all. Or maybe there was a Kemono(dot)party style repository where users who have access to paid Patreons voluntarily upload the paid files there for everyone to enjoy.

Fucking thanks! I don’t understand at all why but you’re right! Simplelogin domain is not detected as ‘invalid’ and I can create an account without any problem!

Edit: I’m a free user.

Yes.

I think on Reddit most mods were volunteers, those who were paid were the admins.

And so far I haven’t encountered any problems with moderators personally although not long ago there was a problem with a community (c/shitposting) where some unscrupulous users started to upload child pornography (CP) (another term is used but I don’t remember) in the comments as images and that sucked because Lemmy unlike Reddit has no automatic post deletion tool (like bots) or enough moderation tools (as I have read from some moderators) and you must consider that the instances are maintained by people like you and me without any legal backing, if I have an instance where I federated with you and someone uploads CP to your instance, that CP will be in my own instance and that can have serious legal consequences for everyone. and besides, since moderators are volunteers they can’t spend all day checking every post and comment because they have a real life out there.
