Even many regional message boards or forums we’re very active. Boards.ie in Ireland was the nerds internet forum. A fediverse before there was one. It was the go to for info about anything tech related or internet culture. Whirlpool in Australia is still the go to for info about internet and broadband, and is still active, if much reduced.

A bad romance, you could say.

No, I didn’t as it’s not really a post about that, but I think ubinis the way forward.

No, I’m not saying artist money is any more immoral than any other purchase. I’m also saying artists should not depend on donations only. I also did not say I exclusively pirate. Don’t put words in my mouth.

I’m saying the current system is broken. Replacing it with tips is not the solution. Transport and creative industries will see huge lay offs in the coming years. We need to decide as a society what we value. Is it creating art and pleasure or lines going up on company spreadsheets. Free spread of ideas and art is an ideology. The only reason not to allow it is to profit. Those profits don’t go to most artists.

No, but that’s the case with or without piracy. Artists and devs shouldn’t rely on goodwill. That’s just expanding the tips system which is already awful.

No, but saying to participate and that purchasing software is inherently moral is also fallacious.

Developers, musicians, creatives, actors etc all need to be paid to live in society. However, the current system rewards the lucky few and large corporations as well as the non creative side of media and software creation.

Scientific papers

No, as we already have a market price for new games. We also have differing prices for differing versions already.

If you’re selling an older less popular or less critically acclaimed game for higher than what newer games with reasonable sales are selling at, then you’re clearly manipulating the market.

We don’t have to micromanage the market. We can set in place mechanisms to make sure it’s efficient and is a true market.

I’m sure we could legislate in such a way that says if it’s purposely priced artificially high to prevent sales, then the same IP abandonment applies.

Similar for Facebook, Microsoft etc. It will be interesting to see how long before they start to lose market dominance, or how anti trust laws work worldwide.

DC++ It was just sharing stuff. No search. You connect to someone’s computer, they have a shared folder. You download what you want and move on. Instead of searching for stuff, you discovered it.

Possibly only English language stuff found. Depends on your tracker search engines. Some not very obscure shows in english are hard to get. Popular or current shows though, should be easy.

Usually with the arrs, downloads are not triggered by setting changes. If it sees a movie OE show that you have monitored, which matches better, it will download it. However, you can trigger a manual search.

So over time you may get them gradually depending on how popular they are. For anything you want now, you’d need to search. Depending on your library size, you can trigger a search for all, but that risks huge amounts of data and space usage immediately.

Yes but thats the point. You could offer the option. This site is trying to block open standards. We can apply a fix to correct it. Would you like to Tell site to fix it/Apply fix/Leave unsafe site

Then you have all options.

Lol, you do realise that chrome does many more. They were recently discovered to allow extra access to google meet over competitors. So not just creepy, but anticompetitive.

I think a more aggressive approach would be better for sites that dont offer compatibility with Firefox.

Do a pop up that asks the user to help make chsnge. First few users to encounter the site could be asked to see if they could find the contact details to let the site know about the problem. Once that is correct, following users could be asked to message them to let them know its a problem.

Keep upping the volume with bad publicity about their website not following standards and bekgn deficient and they will change.

It says debarred. So, they will undo the barring?!

Awesome band continues to be awesome.

Often permissions can be an issue. I’d check permission for directory and files and hinr directory for user and group.

Sample permissions here: https://jonasbn.github.io/til/ssh/permissions_on_ssh_folder_and_files.html

Many. Ssh issues I’ve had have been permissions issues.

Where is the key? What are the permissions for it?

If you can find the same torrent already existing, you should be able to add the torrent, paused, then copy the file to the empty folder. Force a recheck and then it should hash check the files.

Not specific to XD as I dont use it, but has worked for me when changing trackers. I havnt tried when downloading over different protocols, but it should not make a difference.
