This is actually a good sign that Google is taking steps to fix their broken search engine. All it seems to deliver anymore as SEO-optimized crap "blogs" with affiliate links. Linking to Reddit without the user having to include "reddit" in the search is a sign they're actually trying to deliver good results again.

Americans (especially non white Americans) tend to speak very frankly about race in a way that can make Europeans uncomfortable. In this context "white" is simply meant to conjure an image of someone with disposable income.

(See "black twitter")

The fact that ✅ means "no" and ❌ means "yes" is very confusing.

How in heck is Truth Social worth more than twice Reddit

This is the truth man, I will even buy games on Steam that I've pirated in the past with no intention of playing them again. We all largely stopped pirating movies and TV for almost a decade when the streaming experience was superior.

If there was a steam like service for movies and tv and music that worked on all my platforms I would pay for it just like I paid for a home server running the *arrs.

It's not just a good speech for Biden, this is the best SOTU I've ever heard.

The simple answer:

Get Qbittorrent and use it's built-in search engine.

The fully automated gay space answer:

• Look into selfhosting - (optional but makes it easier/coler)
• Look into Plex (or Emby or Jellyfin) - optional but makes it pretty

These are the apps you'll need:

• Radarr - Gets movies
• Sonarr - Gets tv shows automatically as they come out
• Prowlarr - the thing that does the searching for radarr/sonarr.
• Overseerr - Makes it simple to request stuff
• Qbittorrent - downloads things

(There is also Lidarr for music and Readarr for books)

If all set up correctly, you simply just request something with Overseerr and it shows up in Plex minutes later with artwork and metadata all pulled in and presented nicely. You can configure the apps to look for specific resolutions/file sizes/formats/etc. TV shows are downloaded as soon as a new episode is released. It's better than any streaming service by leaps and bounds.

Step 1. Purchase 8-10 albums from your favorite artists on Bandcamp (Bandcamp typically has flac files)

1. Subscribe to Tidal with a VPN in a poor country for very cheap ($4).
2. Pay for one month of one of the music migration services ($5).
3. Use Tidal-dl to get all the FLACs your heart desires.

Honestly you can probably keep Tidal, it's cheap and good. But always download the FLAC files for anything you don't want to lose.

I have a feeling Reddit users are much less likely to click an ad than a Facebook, Twitter or Google user.

I believe that is why they have been dumbing down the site and encouraging low effort stuff like memes and tiktok reposts.

I don't think it's a coincidence that "this line" became normal at the same time the GOP has been enacting antidemocratic legislation and putting forward antidemocratic candidates.

Interesting that Kim Dotcom blames the MAGA boogeyman "deep state communists" for his persecution and celebrated Trump's win, while Trump's supreme court is currently poised to force ISPs to crack down on bittorrent traffic. I don't expect intelligence form Dotcom, but does he really think a conservative oligarchy is going to be friendlier to the users of decentralized anti-corporate protocols?

The only reasons countries like Russia and china don't police piracy is because not doing so hurts US corporate interests, not because they love free speech and want to enable circumvention of government-enforced censorship.

You gotta pump those numbers up those are rookie numbers

Is this text AI generated? The civilian death toll in the "submission statement" is about 6x higher than accepted numbers and about 100K higher than all total deaths in the entire conflict.

IMO (AI or not) slop like this just "floods the zone with shit" while doing noting to help the progressive cause.

Any discussion/advice community that allows low-effort meme slop will inevitably become choked out by it. I understand I am in the minority and the mods like having the memes, but eventually we'll need /c/piracydiscussion if content of this formatting is permitted.

Obviously 99% of people here would agree that Aaron Swarts' story is a tragedy. But simple low-hanging fruit content is not what I want this place to have. And like it not not this community is likely to become the single biggest place to discuss piracy as Reddit inevitably cracks down on it.

Oh wow you're the guy from OPs meme
