I personally love torrents, their decentralized nature will make them last forever.

I would love to see a client that shows you a full catalog of movies and shows and downloads right from the client. If I choose a movie it will just start downloading it right there and can let me watch it in a few minutes. Basically similar to popcorn time but actually maintained, and also supports a vpn.

My family still likes to use streaming services because they choose something off of Netflix and watch. It would be nice to have the same experience with torrents.

Making a browser from scratch would be very difficult. SerenityOS has one, but idk how usable it is.

Besides Firefox, I guess the least evil options would be something webkit-based. There are a few of those.

I’m in the 1%

This whole section of the graph will be that invisible part on the left in a couple years. Going up and down is normal as long as it’s trending up.

Never heard this sentence before

So basically the boomer queue ensures that cashiers have a job, and it ensures that I don’t have to be treated like a criminal because the cashiers are bagging the groceries and I won’t be subjected to “random controls”. I’m not seeing the negative.

I still use yt but most of the good content is also on nebula so you can try that. But yeah there’s just stuff that people on post on youtube so you might be stuck with it for a while.

Not only do they bite, they are venomous. So if one does manage to bite you, it will hurt like a bitch.

On the other hand, one will most likely not bite you.

I prefer to composite motion graphics using ed

This coupled with a few years of proton becoming very usable is an interesting mix.

Is this the year?

That’s not an illusion, that just means the bank owns it. I’m not sure what your point is here.

Your argument basically boils down to “never use amazon or any other shitty tech company for that matter”, which I guess I agree with.

Textbook example of the frog in boiling water. No one would have accepted this behavior before, but now we’re so used these big companies doing whatever they want, we have no problem shrugging off whatever they do.

I’m slowly coming to the conclusion that if you’re not actively sabotaging these companies (through piracy at least), you’re morally in the wrong.

In a real free market, the banks would have gotten too big to fail and we would have bailed them out (ask me how I know this)

Serious question, why would you consider Bluesky? I would argue that mastodon is “the” decentralized social media platform, I mean it’s not owned by some billionaire; and if you mostly care about audience size, nothing beats twitter. I’ve never felt any inclination to try bluesky for these reasons.

I’m as big a fan of nuance as the next guy, but yeah I mean that’s pretty expensive for a lightning to usb dongle, let’s be honest.

It’s frustrating since by using your tethered connection you’re using the same data that you already pay for. If there’s a limit on how much data, why does it matter how you use for it?

Don’t you need 2 pairs for phone

Whichever your favorite one is, that’s the most overrated one

No I actually hope that industry becomes infeasible. I hope enough people get off their platforms so they go out of business. That industry needs a complete overhaul.
