Say nothing. Stop sharing or seeding. But, above all, say nothing. You’re getting phished. Just comply and stop seeding the shit. Keep quiet. If you reply you’ll just have problems that cost money.

Well, let's see... At my school, smoking was bad. I started smoking. My school taught us that drinking alcohol was very bad. I started drinking with my friends. We learned at school that the USSR was going to attack us with nukes at any moment. So I started doing an annoying impersonation of Boris and Natascha every time we had a "hide under your desk drill" that was quite entertaining. We were warned in social studies class about the dangers of using fireworks and cherry bombs. My friends and I were on the constant hunt of old cherry bombs. Ronald Reagan's administration started a physical fitness program that gave awards to kids that passed a certain test in gym glass. A lot of us didn't try hard on purpose because it looked silly and many of us, to our shock, still won the award because it was too easy. So, perhaps the schools are creating a whole new generation of super pirates. Some of those kids probably don't even know what pirating is. They'll find out now. And don't forget, boys and girls, ketchup is a vegetable. If ketchup is a vegetable, relish is, too. So make sure you eat up all your relish we give you at lunch time, with some ketchup on top.

When I was 13 a friend of mine and I spent the whole summer after swimming at the trailer park pool playing Super Mario 3 until we beat it. We did a deep study of the game together and beat it together. First platform I ever beat and first gay sex I ever had to help me out in the orientation department. 1988 was a nice year for me. I haven't lived in a trailer park ever since, but the community swimming pool was nice.

"We decided to apologize instead of asking for permission."

Pretty soon we'll be hearing from people asking about finding free planks to walk, peg-legs, treasure maps, trained parrots, eye patches, and rum. Yo-ho-ho!

I once shoplifted a spandex shirt that accentuated my hot body that I used to get into all the hot clubs for a month without washing it in the 1990s.

They're not even asking for help in the right way. They're like, "This thing doesn't have sound. I want to have sound. Tell me how to make it have sound." It doesn't work that way. It isn't voodoo magic and the people that read this aren't psychic. If there's a problem with the sound, then all kinds of factors have to be eliminated until the one factor preventing the sound production is identified. That means looking into logs, the install script, the WINE settings, blah blah blah. This individual is looking at the internet as some sort of magical incantation medium. It's not a friggin' genie. It's like asking the internet, "Please give me a million dollars."

I'm interested in figuring out what communications company is interested in creating this type of headline about IPTV and Brazil. It makes no sense. There is a corporate or political interest behind this headline.

If you add male strippers, gay 4 pay rough trade, and four card poker I'm all in.

I've been looking for the same thing. The stremio add-on is broken.

So bad I admit. Put me in jail in my hot spandex, accentuating my young, slim, body and do me like all those other guys did me.

If you want something to help you with the process, you might like to try using Lutris or Heroic Games Launcher. They allow you to install anything you want and set up wine prefixes automatically. Heroic Games uses Proton and all other versions of Wine. If you find that you prefer Lutris, you can get Proton to work in it (lots of instructions about it available on Lutris web site). Good luck! If you need help with linux, lemmy.zip has a great community called Linux Questions. They're very friendly and helpful over there. I know first-hand because I asked a question and got great answers.

Not really. The EU is not Germany. Hop on a plane, come here within the EU, nobody cares here.

Holy fuck. From now on all my clothing is going to be rainbow fucking colors every day of my life until I die. What a homophobe.

"You can do it, it's all up to you" LOL

Depending on the distro you're using, you might need to make sure you have 32 bit libraries installed. It isn't automatic on many distros.

Yeah. It gets irritating but this is what you ultimately have to do, anyway, because if you stick with whatever web site filtering out its blockers, it's just going to wind up giving you a Trojan. It's actually the web site's purpose in existing if it's that aggressive in detecting a blocked. The content you download from it more than likely has malware or some other shit in it. Getting that message is a.sign to avoid that place.

I have become a streaming junkie since I got a chromecast. I even stream pirated shit I already pirated and saved to a drive. Actually streaming pirated shit I already downloaded and saved to a drive years ago. I just hope certain apps remain available for this magic forever. I think it's key to own a dumb TV (not a smart TV). I don't need no 4K. Got me a Ch-cast HD. Got me some wi-fi. Got me some Stremio.

I switched back to Windows recently. Windows defender is really good, but I also use ClamAV when I need a deep scan offline that reports with a log. I only need it when I connect other people's USB drives to my computer, though. Windows Defender catches things really well and doesn't interfere with software installation, just like ClamAV. I'd say if you are looking for something free and advanced, ClamAV is what you need if you need to scan something. I hate Windows Defender's offline deep scan because it does not produce a log you can access. ClamAV does this.

It probably won't. But hey, you have your "project" that will get you into Linux more. It always starts with one annoying thing. For me it was a trading card game quite a few years ago. I just kept looking stuff up until I figured out how to ask questions so people could help me get the dll files and configure WINE to work with it. One of the worst Fitgirl repacks I used on Windows was Grand Theft Auto IV. It worked, kind of, but it was wonky as hell. I've installed a number of them on Windows that were just too broken to even bother with. A lot of them are really good, though. Also, I did some research for you. It appears that even people who bought the game on Steam in 2021 had no sound. So, it might just be that the developers of the game screwed up and Fitgirl repacked the version from 2021 that came with no sound to paying customers.

I'm loving onhockey too.

That game has a native linux version. So, maybe find a copy of that?

Yep, downvoted, because yet another person who wants to point and click on shit in Linux and get perfect results. That's not how it works, buddy. Linux is not a point-and-clicky user happy OS. You have to know shit about it and its associated software sometimes to make stuff work correctly. It's getting to be a "works out of the box" OS for some distros, but even the ones that are "user friendly" need some tinkering. Do you want to use Linux successfully? Learn about how it works so that you can ask a question that gets you the solution to the problem. Do you want to press buttons and have stuff "just work?" Don't use Linux. Use something else. Do you want the software to just work perfectly when you press a couple of buttons? Piracy isn't for you, either. Study up, learn to ask the right questions, and take a class on how to not be totally rude. Downvote all you want. You'll still have to play Inscryption with no sound until you figure out how to ask the question the right way so you can get an answer that solves your problem.

OMG, question 4, again. I've waited a little while to answer to give you time to edit your OP to make it slightly more polite. Here's the deal with Fitgirl Repacks: A lot of them don't even work correctly on a Windows machine. How do I know? I've used a few. Some of them are total garbage, some of them have one thing wrong with them, such as your sound problem. My best guess: Even if you weren't using Linux with WINE or Proton (I mean, even if you were using a Windows machine) you would probably STILL have no sound. Why? Because Fitgirl Repacks vary in quality. Some are total shit, some are so-so, some are great. Now, let's say your sound problem can be solved. Asking the question the way you've asked it isn't the way to get an answer. Anyone with knowledge about how to solve your problem would need to ask you for logs and detailed information about your WINE or Proton settings for the game. However, I'll put my money on the fact that the repack is just defective. Pirating games is this way. Sometimes you get a gem and sometimes you get garbage. Pirating games using Fitgirl Repacks is no exception. If you can't afford the game at its current price on Steam (Ummm, let's be clear, I could pay full price for this game and I want it some day, but I'm not willing to pay what they're asking, it's overpriced in my opinion), wait for a sale. At this point it's pretty friggin' old so, maybe, must maaayyyybbeeee this year in the Winter sale it will have a better discount. Nobody's talking about it much anymore, which is a good sign, right? Save up for it so you can have some sound. Maybe every time you say or type "bullshit" you have throw a little money in a jar and then, every time you have to edit a post because you're being rude, you have to throw a little money in a jar. By the Winter sale perhaps you'll be able to afford the game when it's discounted. My unsolicited advice on how to look at Fitgirl Repacks: Use them as a "try before you buy" that's better than a demo. If it happens to work beautifully and you like the game, then you saved some money. If you want to try to get the sound working on the game, in your spare time study up. Look up things about WINE and how a person would go about configuring it manually. Study the game by looking up other peoples' problems with it. Learn about the files in Windows it depends on. If it's a problem on the WINE side of things and not on the Fitgirl side of things, your problem is no doubt a missing dll file or a particular setting your install script is missing. But, honestly, the repack is probably at fault here. If I were you, I'd just save up with a swear jar and wait for the Winter sale. Or even the Fall sale. Who knows? Maybe this year this damn game will be discounted better. I've been waiting a few years to get this game, myself.

As I said before, lemmy.world is now a corporate whore. They deleted my account instantly when I said so from my lemmy.world account. Now I can say so and it’s more difficult. Go suck my balls, lemmy world. Having a code of conduct was good. Having a terms of service is corporate shill terrritory and you’ll suck my balls forever.
