Up to you but how is it not as nice though? It’s usually faster so you don’t have to deal with buffering, plus you can keep the content forever and watch it without internet access and after the site gets taken down.

True, though I’ve found this to frequently break after reboot

The following advice does not apply to piracy, it’s just general torrenting advice for downloading legally available content.

1. Install qbittorrent.
2. Use a VPN (windscribe has a free tier) whenever qbittorrent is running, even in the background, even when you aren’t downloading. Make sure qbittorrent doesn’t run on startup, it’s in settings. This makes sure nobody can see that your IP is torrenting perfectly legal content, for privacy.
3. Find a torrent. If you go to the pirate bay (top result on duckduckgo), be sure not to choose any copyright protected content, as torrenting that would be illegal in most places.
4. Search for your legally torrentable movie/show and press the magnet (or copy the magnet link) next to the torrent with the most seeders (SE)
5. paste the link into qbittorrent, optionally select “download first and last pieces first” and “download sequentially”, if you want to watch while downloading.
6. Always check the file extension of any files before opening - mp4 etc is safe, don’t run any .exe files. There is malware out there, especially in torrented games.
7. Be nice and keep seeding torrents after downloading
8. Enjoy your legally acquired content!

Idk man, how about pacman install. Why are core functionalities behind flags. And what does syncing have to do with installing a package. It just don’t sit right with me

Arch users like to feel smart for making their own life hard. pacman somehow managed to create an interface even less intuitive than APT and people act like it’s a god-given gift.

Yes this is ragebait feel free to bite

In general I think it’s fine if people know what they want and look for it. The weird/problematic thing IMO is that this became something of a trend (although still exaggerated by social media), where it’s not just a small selection of people with very specific preferences. I agree it’s dumb to restrict yourself like that, especially if you just do it because other people do it and not because it’s actually a core requirement for attraction.

Also adolescence extending to 32 makes about as much sense to me as green extending all the way to blue. We don’t need to call people children to recognize they do be silly sometimes

since people are gonna be askin, I believe that’s Tosin Abasi, guitarist of the band Animals as Leaders

The OP is about AI getting forced into things, which rightfully many people are pissed off about. But you’re right, ChatGPT and many other LLM tools are very popular.

speaking Korean and being captured in Ukraine should narrow down the possible nationalities quite a bit

Give me one big monitor and I’ll set up 10 virtual desktops to switch between on it and I’m happy

The one thing I have to make leaner on every clean Plasma install is KSearch or what it’s called. searching for programs is WAY slow with all the search functionality enabled

Interesting, every wm I’ve tried had a status bar, launcher and a web browser preinstalled, but I haven’t tried many and I forget what distro

Woah, that’s just not okay to say about him.

The goat fucking is all consensual

I think most window managers typically come with just a fee GUI apps preinstalled, but most users install more.

unheard of

hell yeah ty

Do you have just the original photo?

Triceratops has an even smaller brain compared to body size

the whole idea that discussing politics is lame is a neoliberal brainworm.

Don’t discuss politics with your family, just enjoy the time! — okay weird but sure

Don’t talk politics with your friends — what the hell why not

No politics at work — that’s a deeply political place wtf are we doing

A screen I bought recently has this for the integrated USB hub, I think?
