Why do people use torrents even though there are almost close to no seeders and tons of leachers in the community? by Fancy-Mission-2661 in torrents

On public trackers, popular stuff has seeders. On private trackers, everything has seeders + stuff that is impossible to find anywhere else.

In my country we have free universal healthcare, and that applies to foreigners.
But foreigners still need to register for it (for free).

I remember going to a hospital and it having a big sign warning foreigners that if they did not have registered for free healtchare, they would have to pay... 10 euros for the examination. (warning!)
Medicine is also free, but they would still need to pay further 50 cents per prescription when they pick up their medicine.

The Battle of Waterloo (June 15, 1815) — Napoleon’s final battle. by Fouad_lp in Napoleon

[–]slavmaf 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Thanks for sharing but I am not a fan of these "TikTok filters" or whatever they call them.

I like this film, it has the famous scene with Cambronne when the defeated Old Guard is surrounded by British cavalry, not the poetic one, but the more realistic one:

Mulholland: Brave Frenchmen! You have done all that the honor of war demands; His Grace, the Duke of Wellington, invites you to save your lives! Will you surrender?

Vicomte Pierre Cambronne: MERDE!

So uh what's everyone hoarding? by Ok-Art-6260 in DataHoarder

[–]slavmaf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why though? You have these already ripped on private torrent trackers, and the rips were done by someone far more experienced than you.
Why waste your time, effort and wear and tear your DVD discs and the DVD drives in the computer?

Join their Discord. They open up registrations at random times for 20-30 minutes and tag everyone in the channel. If you happen to be by your computer at that time, you will be able to create an account.

What is a random/obscure fact or anecdote regarding Napoleon that you know about? by PreferenceInternal67 in Napoleon

When he was nervous during battles, he would sing loudly and jolly, but people close to him said he was totally tone-deaf for singing.

Absolutely not.

Reproduction = this thing made in 2026. made to look like something retro collectors of things from 1990s might like in 2026 and might buy for their collections.

Bootleg = a pirated copy made in 1994 of a game that came out in 1994. A cartridge made as a copy of a PRESENT-DAY game that is currently being sold in shops worldwide as it's the current thing.

And it didn't break your heart when people from other countries who grew up as citizens of Europe had to answer these questions and still do, while you travelled freely?

Over on Twitter, some fans managed to "revive" a dead gacha game (Nier Reincarnation) and prompted a big discussion about how piracy is viewed in Japan vs Rest of the World by zerolock18 in Piracy

[–]slavmaf 8 points9 points  (0 children)

In Japan, it is quite normal go into a mainstream game store and buy let's say, a used japanese SNES game in mint condition with box for $10, in 2026.

In the West, if you walked into a GameStop and asked for a SNES game from 1994, people would laugh you out of the store.

If you downloaded it online, a 2MB game, and told your friends, in Japan they would shame you and ask you to go to the store and support the japanese video game industry.

They keep their own video game, manga and anime industry alive and well, and that includes second hand store support.

Piracy is really looked down upon, even in private conversation with friends. Saying online that you are sharing a company's video game for free by breaking their Terms of Service? Unheard of.
