On the other hand, I’m a mod for /r/GameCubeHacks and it’s great because I have access to all the piracy links the other mods remove. 🤙

I used to run a popular mod that made an indie beta game even more popular. Guess who almost all of the final testers were before release? My whole team. We were clearly the most devoted people to the game and knew best how to break it. It was nice to get a head-start on our new mod (which we pivoted to be the equivalent of Steam Workshop or an app store before those existed). Of course, the creator became a dickwad years later and we all ended the mod and the game is dead.

I saw IDE cables referred to as PATA cables in a YouTube video earlier today. “Huh, I don’t remember calling them that.” Luckily right after that they clarified that’s a more recent name for them. Still felt old.

I hid this post then immediately unhid it for a closer look. Digital double-take.

I got a Bluetooth tape adapter. Had to try a few because some are real ass.

Temporary monopolies are the governments reward to encourage new works of art and inventions. The trade off is that it’s temporary. By extending copyrights indefinitely it actually discourages new works to be created because they’re competing with more creations than ever, and nothing can be built as a derivative work. Trademarks, which Disney still owns, are protected basically indefinitely.
