Ask Jeeves already started sucking when they got rid of Jeeves himself. They lost sight of what was important.

Yeah it’s called Temu. You’ll get them in your email and SMS inboxes too.

I always went to soulseekqt.net which I guess is just an alias. I feel like I’ve been in some kind of weird bubble.

I’ve never seen that abbreviation for it before. What you see in search results depends on who’s accounts are online so keep checking every once in a while. My other suggestion is if you use qbittorrent, it actually has a torrent search that I think is disabled for legal disability or something.

Just use soulseek or something

There are some users who are dicks that ban people, but you’ll only be banned from that one person’s downloads. If it happens just download from someone else who’s not a psychopath about it. Most people on soulseek want to share. It’s not a private tracker and there’s no e-penis to be gained. DO share your own collection though because you might as well.

I never figured this out. When I play switch games it’s always a version that bundles the emulator with it and has all the keys and bios crap already configured.

I’ve never been someone who blocks people and I’ve never been into filtering posts on any site/platform. But there’s no shame in it here. It’s VERY intended for users to have that ability and not just use it when they’re being harassed. For a bit I was even considering using adblock filters to get block some keywords but that hasn’t been as much of a problem lately for me. But just a few communities and accounts are responsible for most of the doom and gloom.

But now you can leave it at home when you think it’s going to get you in trouble.

It’s a cool idea and I was using it every day for a while. I love the gemtext format and I even made some “gempub” ebooks for fun. I have a site on flounder.online with some crap on it. Two things brought it all down for me.

The first is the hard TLS requirement. I’ve read all the rationales about this and still don’t see the point. I get the principle behind it but it’s not worth requiring that much infrastructure. It sucks all the fun and accessibility out of it. Which is my other issue.

We all know a platform can’t be TOO accessible without becoming like twitter. But if accessibility is too low you’ll end up with nothing but upper class tech workers moaning about the bougie problems that they created for themselves. The only capsules that had anything decent on them had HTTP proxies. It didn’t feel like a platform worth contributing to for someone like me.

I’ve heard about the Spartan protocol which is similar but has no TLS requirement. I’ve been planning on getting into that but all I’ve done is read about it.

I had a really good fart while reading this, thank you.

It’s really frustrating watching the furry community flip out every few months or so when a credit card company pulls the rug from under thousands of artists. All the problems that people complain about like power usage are solved by currencies that aren’t bitcoin. But nobody wants that to be true, because being right is the most important thing in the world.

I really want IPFS to go mainstream. It solves a lot of problems with piracy and the internet in general. But people started thinking it was a blockchain thing, and I haven’t heard much about it since then. Libgen uses it but that’s the only place I’ve seen it be embraced.

There was a really big homestuck cutscene (big as in important and highly anticipated, it was just a regular swf file) and so many people were trying to watch it on the mspa website that it died. So the video was mirrored from site to site with a roaming megaflock of homestuck fans following it and overloading every single one along the way. I never saw a higher number of mainstream sites be crippled simultaneously.

Not just the comments. It used to be page 4 or 5 where the hate/rage content would start appearing in the top posts. But it’s been creeping up, and now even page 1 looks pretty bad sometimes. I bet even Americans are starting to feel alienated if they’re not perpetually angry.

I used to think all my problems would be solved if I had one of those.

I like propaganda like this.

A lot of cool art has been made as propaganda. Let them cook.

This kind of bee hive isn’t real. It’s an old fashioned type of man-made bee hive but I spent a large portion of my life thinking there was a species of bees out there somewhere making these.

If this isn’t AI then I think it’s a composite image made in photoshop.

I couldn’t stop myself from being sarcastic there, sorry. The utter cynicism struck me so hard I didn’t know where to begin explaining how wrongheaded I think people are being about that. I would for sure prefer Roblox not encourage mtx so much but sheesh man. I don’t think Timmy is trying to make the next Genshin Impact.
