In 2002 I was on Kazaa.
I read this post as “guy hides AI crap posing as real books in public libraries”, a lot of Slsk is maintained by big whales automatically downloading and resharing libraries, to find it funny having this poisoned by AI crap… perhaps we don’t deserve to have nice things after all…

Are you by any chance thinking Soulseek is some AI model to make AI music, or some platform like Spotify, or is it hilarious that the biggest archive of rare music, collected and shared directly between the users, is being poisoned?

Are you a copyright lawyer working for Universal?

What a piece of shit.

oh no, typo on the image :(

I was too distracted planning what to do next…

Here we say that when the mango is good it runs down your elbows.

edit: I made a visual representation:

Ultima Online and Tibia were MMOs with persistent worlds with thousands of players at the same time and no monthly fee as well :)
But I already addressed it here: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/61742119/23805954

Poor analogy, Blizzard didn’t pay my internet bill, and all previous games you could play online just by buying the game. Diablo II had a single player but it was created for online multiplayer, and you didn’t need to pay a monthly fee.

Yeah, I used to play Diablo II online and Ultima Online as well (other friends would play Tibia), all of these were created for online multiplayer as well, that’s why I thought WoW was bullshit… nowadays I understand the difference in server costs (Diablo II they basically just hosted a lobby and your character data, the game instance would run on the player’s computer and not their server, but the other two games hosted all their realms 24/7 with thousands of players simultaneously, the difference is that WoW were hundreds of thousands to millions).

Hell yeah!

If just I had CD drive on my laptop lol

Diablo II was the last time I bought something by Blizzard. When they launched WoW I found it absurd that you had to buy the game and still pay a monthly fee to play.

Or perhaps my ISP’s range of dynamic IPs improved its reputation recently?
