the thing that bothers me about this is how aminet is the mecca of amiga software everybody tells you have to get everything from but none of the (commercial in 1993) software there is cracked or pre-registered, you need to make an account in eab abime to get those, so everybody is just refusing to say the quiet part out loud and sweeping it all under the rug

Y'know how there's a pattern of behavior where someone says something is bad about the tech industry or community or OSS software or something, and then every single nerd within a 50 square mile radius says *WELL ACKTUALLY*??

I just realized that if, like, even 10% of them just... Sat down and spent some energy fixing the problem instead of insulting someone for experiencing it, we would've solved all those issues by now

you go into /comm/tcp and look for ftp and you can't tell what's a client and what's anything else that isn't an ftp client. you're supposed to just know how to work with these things, how to install and run them. all information is locked away in forums where the relevant information and files require registering for an account you'll never use a second time.

If you are looking for a good cause, the Good Law Project crowdfunder can be found here: goodlawproject.org/crowdfunder
