This thought is so deep I will drown in it. When do people stop posting it?

Well, even if you don’t partake, there are trackers with subscriptions and they have subscribers.

There exists multiple types of people who upload pirated stuff. One of these types is the person who, instead of getting a day job, makes a living on selling content that they don’t own. I don’t know what to call that person other than a criminal. And it’s not too far fetched to assume that some people in that scene resort to pretty nasty techniques to obtain content, and that can be way more problematic than sharing torrents.

I love piracy as much as anyone, but I got to be honest, I am a bit irked by how much of a hardon you have for the amazing people who develop these beautiful tools in their free time driven by nothing else just an outbursting of love from their hearths. In reality, while I am sure there are innocent enthusiasts, many of the people who run private trackers, usenet servers, and I’m assuming are developing client architecture, are basically criminals who make a living off stealing protected IP and selling it to people who prefer a subscription for a tracker or server over a streaming service or over purchasing audiobooks, games, or porn directly from publishers. The arr stack is the infrastructure for hosting industrial scale streaming services using pirated content. So that’s part of the reason why the free piracy software is good. There is a very real paying market for it.

Edit: I’m putting a link here so I don’t sound like bullshitting. This is the type of illegal streaming I am talking about, which basically operates as an international organized crime group, with ties to other illicit activities independently of pirating. While I don’t know anything about their tech stack, they need a massive automated system to obtain the media they pass on to their subscribers. It’s not the need to organize the movie library of a middle age dad which justifies configuring a massive stack of services.

No, don’t hate yourself, you are doing god’s work. I explicitly came here to say that this us jab-cross-upper-hook, which is an acceptable thing to say in stead of oss oss oss oss.

Dragon age: Origins, 2 and Inquisition? I think it fits all, although it is squad based and can be played in turns, at lower difficulty it is entirely viable to play as a 1st person action game where AI squad members assist. The story is somewhat scripted but it does feel kind of open world if I remember correctly. Haven’t played for a long time, but I remember I liked it and it wasn’t too different from Elder Scrolls as the overall experience.

Yeah. Except in Office products on Mac, where some genius realized that when user selects “Save as…”, they don’t want to save the file to the same folder where it currently is, but rather to a random folder that was used for a completely unrelated thing recently.

I find it very easy to install and use. Drivers work fine out of the box. The window and desktop management is my favorite ever, so it stays on the home desktop. There are a few things like flatpaks from the cosmic store not always working properly, and you need to remove them and install stuff from deb packages instead. And I couldn’t get any clipboard manager app to work, I think that’s related to a more general wayland issue, but nevertheless frustrating.

Oops, I read the headline like the neanderthals are building their own github and got really curious!

I settled on sublime. It is not exactly the same as np++, but works great on both Mac and Linux, so at least I don’t need to get used to a separate editor for those two environments.

After a while I realized that Word (the web app) does not render lines of text in the same position as Word (the desktop app), in the very same file. The former seems to use a pseudo random line spacing.

I just set up I hate money a couple weeks ago. Works fine. Not a perfect drop in for splitwise, but works for us. You log in by entering the project name and password (not separate user accounts), then select who paid and for whom.

I don’t know man, the admins of this instance don’t owe anything to the users over there, and the defederation doesn’t meaningfully impact anyone over there as far as I understand.
If I was regularly chatting with people who call for killing me, I would have a very high blood pressure.

Who’s in charge of that instance. Are you suggesting that admins are never responsible for what they say because every admin is a single individual? The admins of this instance have complete discretion over who they want to federate with.

I think what OP is referring to is that many supporters of “gun rights” like to use the argument that the second amendment is key to the freedom of America because an armed populace cannot be controlled by an authoritarian government. I don’t particularly care for that argument, but if you run with it, it would make sense that the right of the populace to organize armed rebellion is just as important as their right to own and carry weapons.

I’m in Neuroscience. My favorite way to keep up is rss feeds of the 5 best journals (100-200 titles per week), rss feeds to the relevant pubmed search terms (20-50 titles per week) an google scholar email alerts to some of the most relevant researchers in my field, auto forwarding to kill the newsletter, and read through rss (50-100 titles per week, lots of duplicates). So every day I aim to open the rss reader and burn down the unread count. Papers that are really relevant to my research tend to show up 4-5 times over 2 weeks this way, so it’s hard to miss it. Which journals: you know that if you have been in the field for a while, if not, ask your colleagues and mentors where they publish and what they read.
Bad papers sliding through the cracks: it happens, you don’t know unless you read it.

Maybe there is a FOSS self hosted solution for mixing good old tv ads into the mix!

I use self hosted baserow free tier at work and no issues in 3 years. Why does it not work for you? My only complaint is the API can’t use the views that exist on the web interface.

Cool, thanks! What do you use for RSS?

I don’t know the answer, just commenting because I’m curious. Can you just create a second tailnet and add your server but not your own devices to it?
