  • Third party key market places are kinda iffy, and there have been numerous cases of the keys being offered on there having been bought with stolen credit cards, or otherwise generated in ways that aren’t quite above board.

    I remember one interview with an indy dev in which they said they prefer people pirating, because chargebacks from stolen cards are actively costing them money.

    For people who feel they need the entertainment games provide, but can’t afford current prices, I feel pirating games from conglomerates, and buying from smaller studios and indies is the most socially responsible way to do it, but I’m not your mum.

    Edit: Huh, looks like greenmangaming gets their keys directly from the publishers. Didn’t know that was a thing. Guess I was a bit quick on the trigger there, should have checked first. Sorry about that.




  • I set up my current desktop while reading Gaiman’s The Sandman, so it’s called Morpheus. Because I felt I needed to keep with the theme, my laptop is hades, my phone persephone, my server apollo, my router helios, the media centre PC is orpheus, the pi that boots and updates it outside of usage hours is eurydice, and the pi that runs home assistant is zeus (because it’s responsible for light(n)ing.

    Oh, and the work profile on my phone is sisyphos.









  • Depends on your process. Are you using the Google (Search) App? I don’t think you can turn that off in there. I’d take a look at using a different Browser. If you’re on iOS, Safari is probably fine, if you’re on Android, I’d think about using Firefox (Google Play), or if you’re feeling daring, Fennec, a more privacy focused version of Firefox (F-droid).

    The UX will be different, and you gotta decide whether you’re fine with that, but at least those won’t change the links you’re trying to share.
