It’s good in the sense that it’s the last version before it got enshittified by ads, but the now nearly-legendary v2.2.1 is also 5 years behind in security patches. It was an awesome, fast, stable client and I miss it, but I don’t think it’s worth the risk. Like you and everyone else has been saying, OP should be using Qbittorent.


I just read that README, quite sobering. Now I’m thinking of bus scenario backup plans. Like, there’s stuff that is eventually gonna stop working if left unattended too long, and you just assume you’re gonna be around to maintain it, you know?



"We know it's a necessary thing for us to hit our new and needed goals. So overall, good progress and we push on." Layoffs have been one of the defining events of the games industry this year, with thousands of jobs being cut across dozens of companies, all attempting to slash costs as the rapid economic growth of the pandemic years comes screeching to a halt. No company is more emblematic of both these extremes than Embracer Group. In the last few years, Embracer has embarked upon a frenzied spending spree, snapping up studios like Gearbox, Crystal Dynamics Eidos Montreal, and many more, all apparently to stack the decks in a deal with an unknown partner worth at least $2 billion.

Jesus Christ, you weren’t kidding. One of the recommended videos for me was “Why the crusades were completely justified!” Yeah, fuck that crazy shit.



You’re telling me “graf” is standard language for published articles?

And its unabbreviated form, “nut graf.” Like, it’s a legit thing. I mean…wow. Nut graf.


For availability, yes, but RAID is not a substitute for proper backup procedures. E.g. - offsite, cloud, or automated scheduled local backups, or even regular data integrity checks.


Ok, you know what? I agree. You’re right, it was really presumptuous and hypocritical to say that. And disproportionately hostile. But if I had left out that last sentence, what would your reaction be? Would you have agreed, or would you have claimed it was not propaganda and that the dude was not acting in bad faith?



Dumb? I thought so too, then I reread their comment and looked at their post history. Not by a long shot, they know exactly what they’re doing. From their first comment posted 8 hours ago: “I’m a moderate that a lot of people confuse for a conservative.”

It’s textbook conservative propaganda: pose as a “moderate” with a “fair and balanced” opinion, paint the Rs as misunderstood, and poison the well with a straw man argument. I mean, really, the idea of trying to “shut down the war machine” has nothing to do at all with people’s fears of what another Trump presidency would bring. That’s a straw man argument. It’s absolute horse shit.

In other words, just more bad faith acting from a minority party that relies on deception to make it look like they have more than 35% support nationwide. Next they’ll say “Why are all crimes committed by black people? Just asking questions.”


All I see is someone making weak excuses to put a fascist back in the White House.

If Trump is the only one who has the balls to put an end to the American World Police, then so be it.

You have got to be shitting me. He had his chance; he was in office for four years. Get the fuck outta here, man.
