Vimm’s Lair probably has whatever PS3 games you want- google should find that site easily. I have no clue on DLCs- I don’t think I’ve ever emulated a PS3 game that had DLCs so I can’t really help.

RPCS3 is very user friendly as far as emulators go so you might be surprised with what non-techie people can do with it. AC4 multiplayer is listed as compatible with RPCN so you could probably play it multiplayer, it’s just a question of actually finding people playing it.

As for Xbox 360 emulation: again, you can get files from Vimm’s but I’d suggest you let that cook. Xenia is the only 360 emulator I’m aware of. It definitely works, but it’s still in rough shape right now. Needs more time. I know OG Xbox emulators exist, but I’ve never looked into them personally.

If you’re only interested in a single file, ProtonVPN has a free tier. The speed should be plenty for a single ~600mb file.

Well, shit.

Z-Library isn’t really research oriented, but you could try it. I have no idea how much scientific content is on it, not why I’m there, but FMHY says it has ‘educational’ content just like Anna’s Archive does, and I’ve seen textbooks on there before.

Fair enough, then.

… when did I say everything on .ml domain is marxist-leninist? It’s not any kind of conspiracy lol.

I said they picked this one because it was an obvious reference. Apparently some other people have spoken directly to them and said it was purely because it was free. Which I didn’t realize, and also makes sense.

It’s not exactly wrong, though. It’s clearly intentionally chosen because people are gonna connect these dots.

That they picked it specifically is not a coincidence, though.

Yeah, I don’t like Linus all that much but I do enjoy LTT’s content overall. He tends to drastically and publicly overreact to literally any criticism, and then the rest of the team gets involved and he walks it back. Whether they legitimately change his mind or just convince him he’s gotta look like he’s changed his mind I have no clue.

My favorite instances of Linus are when he’s an absolute idiot on the WAN show and we just get to see Luke’s reaction live. The hard-r thing was absolutely hilarious.

In 2022 he tweeted this.

That might be what you’re remembering, but he’s definitely addressed his views on piracy during the WAN show several times as well.

Edit: someone else posted the full context elsewhere in the thread. I’d link to that comment, but idk how on lemmy so here: https://archive.ph/VavFc

No. The owner of the media has already been paid in both of those scenarios. It makes zero difference to them whether you’re watching the ads.

Adblocking, on the other hand, is actively hurting the owner of the media because they get paid based on how many ads they can serve. If you block the ad, it isn’t served, and they don’t get paid.

Personally, I definitely think it’s piracy. I also still do it.

Installed, I love all the themes! Thanks!
