I can’t press the record button without it crashing and it fails to see half of my audio inputs, so I’d say not great.

Wouldn’t flatpak inherently be less likely to rip the system to shreds?

It’s not niche being a woman obviously. What’s niche is having a community exclude 50% of the population. Nothing wrong with it, but it is niche.

Well I get the analogy, but also I think they didn’t use pencils because of the graphite and complications with filtering air or something.

Obsidian with self hosted live sync is what I switched to and found it’s actually better.

I’ve had the opposite experience. It all “just worked”. Try running unraid. It makes a lot of it so much easier.

Time to go to usenet.

I personally have found search results that would have been useful or able to solve my problem if they hadn’t had this done to them. It has pushed me to search site:reddit.com far less, so I know it works. The fewer people visiting reddit the better.

Now that you’re unbanned, consider using a tool to edit all of your comments to gibberish to remove your value from reddit. I’ve seen it a lot, it’s easy to do, and it works.

Yeah that’s also true. But I switched to proton specifically to have LESS work managing automatic email aliases that are tied to instantly creatable passwords/accounts. I might look into bitwarden with their alias service integration. But I’m not looking forward to another transfer of all of my stuff. For this very specific set of features, really all I can see is bitwarden or proton, and I really hope bitwarden is as seamless and easy as proton because I do not have the mental energy to fiddle with it all the time.

Please no, no more shitty electron apps

Wow, that’s so many different services to splinter one Proton account into. I was thinking about it too, but that sounds exhausting.

You’re missing the part where the lemmy and instance staff needs to get fed too. Donate to your instance the same as you would buy this app. If you use a free service for many hours, and you can spare a couple bucks, then spare it.

The bed is super weird. But it’s not weird in a lot of places for valentines gifts to extend to “anyone you love in any capacity” instead of strictly romantic love. My mom has given me chocolates and a valentines card every year since I can remember and it’s a normal thing around here.

Didn’t even mention mine. For a brand new user, they don’t know what the fuck is going on there.

Have you tried running those things in wine or something like bottles?

Has saved my life. I find myself disabling it for an entire tab several times per day to do things like make a purchase or log in, but I’d still rather that than not have it on the rest of the sites.

I use frugal usenet and usenet express for my providers. (for redundancy and speed, you only need one really.)

I use nzbgeek for search.

Both providers mostly saturate my 2.5gbps download speed, and when they don’t, my download automatically uses both of them at once anyway so I always saturate. (I limit speeds during the day so I don’t notice any network lag if an automatic download starts while I’m doing stuff.) I can’t recommend one over the other, they both perform great.

I use sabnzbd to actually download stuff, then the arr stack to trigger and control it.

Sabnzbd did require some extra configuration to saturate my bandwidth, so if you do run into any issues DM me and I can help.

All of this lets me download my publicly available and free Linux ISOs very quickly. Even the biggest ones download in a couple minutes. I still use torrents as a backup, as some stuff makes it to torrents before usenet, but I have usenet set as a higher priority. Both are searched automatically so I don’t miss anything.

Yes yes yes. Ever since I set up my arr stack on my home server, I’ve been blown away by just how easy getting everything I want in minutes is. It’s all automated. It’s actually insane.

I never didn’t own that I was a pirate. That’s not in question here. What’s in question is that the reason I am a pirate is I was tired of paying for and dealing with all of those streaming services, and the believability of having so many streaming services. Just because you don’t see the need doesn’t mean other people don’t.

And you are right, it is excessive. Several hundred dollars per month excessive. But that’s what a large portion of people do. Most people don’t know how to pirate.

Like you said, folks pirate because it is easy. Easier than the alternative. When Netflix was easier than piracy and it was the only streaming service around, I didn’t pirate (except anime but that’s another thing entirely). And when steam came onto the scene, piracy plummeted as well. When companies offer truly convenient options, piracy goes down. That’s not justification, that’s the reason.
