The funniest part is that all the AI hype is focused on all the wrong things. There are absolutely great AI tools that get very little mention.

For example, I’m visually impaired and use AI tools A fair bit to help me get around the internet and such. Especially when it comes to using AI I to generate descriptions of images.

And don’t call me Shirley

It’s been a cat and mouse game with Adobe for quite a while now

Pirate Everything.

Been doing it since before the BBS days and will continue to do so into the great beyond ;)

Who would have thought this would be a hell of a presumption in this day and age

Gotta seed the original.

TF you on about bro? This is up there with people going well aktually epehobphila isn’t pedophila or some shit.

Sexual Assault is rape. Fin.

It really depends on your country and ISP.

With all these forks popping up please also be aware that there will be bad actors using this as a cover to install malware. Probably be a good idea to let the dust settle first.

Worth a shot to at least see if it has stuff you’re looking for

That sucks.

I don’t use torrents much.

Have you considered checking out Usenet + Indexer?

Greed. It’s always pure unfiltered greed.

Why has this been making some of the “news” recently?

Some corporation wanted to cover it’s ass in the same my my work cafeteria warns about raw eggs when they serve Tiramisu.

I had to sign a waiver to try some hot sauce that was 2.5M+ on the Scoville scale.

The in depth stuff IS the reason I watch them :)

Usenet is the way

I’m using Qbittorrent now. Had a really slick rTorrent+Pyro setup that I lost and could never be arsed to figure out again ;)

A properly setup rTorrent is S tier.

The Nazis never went away.

I think Canada has more Nazi issues than just this.

The government at some point in time was even funding the OUN-B magazine. Which is basically Banderite shite.

Foobar2000 is pretty good too for batch converstion.

It’s weird how some people (who might be LGBT, a woman,BIPOC, or not bigots) don’t want to hear conservative white people spouting racist, sexist, bigoted crap …

Twitter Blue accounts are a godamn blight.

What’s a good self hosted thinking like Evernote?

HEVC is a great codec. Not everyone is encoding with it yet. Couple that with “fun” scene rules and we get what we get. 😅

This is going to be my new way of measuring “worth” how many TBs of SSD storage does thing X equate to lol.

It costs ,e over $100 to take the family out for a movie. As someone on disability right now that $100 is better spent on other things (Like a years worth of Usenet service ;) )

Good enough for who? You? Sure. But not everyone watches on a small screen. Some people might actually care about the quality too. Some of us can’t goto the theatre.

2GB isn’t large by any stretch. There are 720p versions of pretty much everything (at least that’s what I see on most Usenet Indexers). You could easily get a multiple terabyte external drive if your internal storage is full.

A lot of Canadian telecom infrastructure is Nokia.

Yes but only if you want to learn single threaded game development. IIRC CryEngine was incredible single threaded back theb.

Open source does not mean malware or exploit free…

Newshosting. Have been using them for a few years now.

Usenet + Indexers.

You need a Usenet provider, an indexer, and a Usenet downloading App.

I’ve been using Usenet Hosting for a long time now and haven’t had any problems with them. Indexers are bit harder to come by. I think Drunkenslug is the go to these days, not sure about others.

Some of you need to embrace Usenet. Never have to worries about power tripping admins on Torrent sites.

This’ll end well, I’m sure…

Couldn’t have happened to a nicer dictator.

The trans agenda. Big Gay coming for the kids… 🤡

I think your definition of widely used and mine might be a tad different ;)

We can go back to XMODEM, or using HS/LINK to courier some warez to some BBSes ;)

Weird. I use MPV.NET and don’t have the issue. I download all my 4K content in HDR (streaming to TV and it works fine) and when I play it on the PC it looks fine too in SDR.

Have you tried not loading a config at all?
