Like watching an old friend's corpse being defiled for profit

[-] i_stole_ur_taco@lemmy.ca 46 points 2 years ago

Like watching Napster panhandling under an overpass.

[-] corus_kt@lemmy.world 36 points 2 years ago

Limewire and Napster peaked in high school

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

But at least MySpace Tom was their friend.

[-] theangryseal@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

Oh come on. That guy would be friends with anyone! He was probably friends with like 600 Adolf Hitlers.

He was friends with Steve from high school and no one wanted to be Steve’s friend. He only posted pictures of the columbine shooters with captions like, “An hero, an marter. I will join u soon brave man.” His profile played like 10 Marilyn Manson songs at the same time. Guess who his friend was?

Tom.

TIL the gnutella network still exists. Brb, gonna download masterofpuppets.mp3.exe

[-] chemical_cutthroat@lemmy.world 32 points 2 years ago

Burn me a copy of that sick System of a Down Legend of Zelda song! Link, saddle up your horse!

[-] Potatisen@lemmy.world 14 points 2 years ago

I'VE COME TO SAVE

THE PRINCESS ZELDA

[-] bamboo 5 points 2 years ago

Wait does this exist??

[-] Odo@lemmy.world 17 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

The song is here, but it's not by SoaD. It was often mislabeled on the various filesharing networks as being theirs.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

Much like virtually every parody or comedy song ever being attributed to Weird Al back then. He's talked about it before. He especially didn't like it when stuff that was really offensive- racist, sexist, etc. was attributed to him.

[-] Obi@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 years ago

Holy shit I had this back then and totally thought it was by SOAD.

[-] loutr@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 years ago

Well yes, but actually no.

[-] elvith@feddit.de 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Well yes, but actually no... it's by Joe Pleiman and someone just uploaded it as SOAD - The Legend Of Zelda.mp3

Here's the song

I love Judas Priest!

[-] candyman337@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 years ago

I remember I downloaded a jobro album and I double clicked it and it took me to a Japanese porn site

[-] yamanii@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I think soulseek is the biggest one that works like this, but it's entirely dedicated to music.

[-] Emerald@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Yep soulseek is awesome, I'm sharing about 500gb of stuff there. There's more then just music there too, you can find movies and TV shows there that aren't on public trackers. Also... fonts

[-] Semi-Hemi-Demigod@kbin.social 39 points 2 years ago

Maybe in the future I really will get season 2 of Firefly from LimeWire

[-] Chickenslippers@lemmy.world 13 points 2 years ago

Huh the first episode starts zoomed I'm on a cup.

[-] jubilationtcornpone@sh.itjust.works 28 points 2 years ago

More buzzwords than an Indeed job description.

[-] hydrospanner@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

Bandwidth.

Up-tempo.

Logistics.

Leverage.

Synergy.

Hold the line.

Ideate.

Takeaway.

[-] MacNCheezus@lemmy.today 27 points 2 years ago

Well, at least you didn’t download a virus.

[-] madcaesar@lemmy.world 25 points 2 years ago

Darude_Sandstorm.mp3.exe

[-] ExfilBravo@lemmy.world 24 points 2 years ago

I loved downloading a song from Limewire and the band was labeled completely wrong. Then 10 years later I get made fun of for saying X band made Y song because I legit thought they made it because of Limewire.

[-] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago

I love listening to Twisted Sister's Come on Feel The Noise or Bob Marley's Don't Worry Be Happy.

oh, oh no.

what's line wire supposed to be?

[-] hswolf@lemmy.world 48 points 2 years ago

it's the way we used to get our music for free back then

[-] DrDominate@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Torrenting software. And a darn good one too

[-] dustyData@lemmy.world 54 points 2 years ago

P2P, not torrent. Torrent is P2P but not all P2P is torrenting.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 35 points 2 years ago

Pre-torrenting.

[-] Vorticity@lemmy.world 13 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

It was simply peer to peer file sharing rather than torrenting. Torrenting allows you to collect different parts of the file from different people. Lime Wire just depending on a stable connection between you and the host machine.

It was also full of fake shit and viruses. I remember spending hours getting rid of "Gator" a couple of times as a stupid college student.

[-] busteray@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I swear I remember limewire having the equivalent of seeds and files being downloaded from multiple places at the same time.

Mandela effect?

[-] Obi@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 years ago

Yeah I'm with you, hell I even remember being on WinMX before that and even that having multiple seeds?

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago

Limewire was around before Brahm Cohen created Bit Torrent.

[-] RealFknNito@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

Yeah it was so good that every download was a gamble if you were getting the song you wanted or uncensored war footage and cp

[-] Stumblinbear@pawb.social 6 points 2 years ago

Neat

[-] Psychodelic@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

ai art bad anyone?

[-] Pat_Riot@lemmy.today 25 points 2 years ago

AI generated images are not art.

[-] busteray@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

Idk man if I saw the exact same pixels from an "AI Art" in 2010s, I would frame some of them.

The only thing that makes them feel less artsy is knowing there's no intent of meaning behind the image.

But that's also true for some human made art, sometimes the artist's intention is to make the image have meaning only through the viewers.

I'm pretty sure I would have an AI Art printed and framed in my home when they become not so somehow obviously "AI".

I too entered the twilight zone when I noticed something in my discord servers. I'm not in many servers, but I had subscribed in an AI image creation server called BlueWillow. So one day the icon was different, resembling a lime.... It took me a while to understand what's happening.
