A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Unfortunately seems like this won't help that, if they expect you to be on the server to get the files. The article says the links will be auto refreshed daily, so it's only the links shared outside the server that won't work after a day :(
FUCK. You’re probably right. It’s such a ridiculous thing they make us go through just to get updated installers. Last I checked they don’t even make it obvious what the commands are to get the download links, you have to ask for them in chat and wait for someone to eventually reply back with them. It’s so annoying, they could just put the installers on the website next to the outdated one that’s been there forever.
I feel the same way. I end up being in 30 or so different Pokemon ROM hack servers just to get the patch files for the games. Very frustrating to have to do that when there are websites dedicated to hosting these files
Just progressing backwards in ease of access for no good reason.
