Yup! The fact that it is defined as “illegal” allows goons to storm your house and court troll to harrass you.

Thus everything they say is true, in some way…

PPN! (pp network?)

Although I never took the time to check myself, I heard multiple reports about how streaming music has crappy dynamic range, and that the same song on CD or ripped vinyl always has much better range.

It would be my main reason to use the scenes…

Hehe, I’ll have a read on that thread.

Yeah, that makes sense. It’s not so much that they are labeled weird, but that they are shocked thinking they were not…

Yup. A lot of feelings are unnecessary yet are there anyway for us to deal with them.

Nice, that makes sense. I’ll keep using weird.

Asus Zenfone are nice as well

127.0.0.1

I don’t know about unbound so I can’t really compare… OpenNic is not run by for-profit corporations, which I think is a good thing.

Opennic should be the default DNS of everybody!

I would love to self host a real debrid service where i can control what i pre-download using the “my library” feature, something similar to the *arr suite but only using the stremio interface.

All the vegans and vegetarians I’ve met in real life were chill dudes and dudettes. One was an engineer and semi-pro skateboarder that was always making people feel good and happy. Another one was a solid rock climber always smiling.

I know more annoying people complaining about vegans, always grumpy and being proud of always eating meat. I also know this cool swing dance instructor girl who only eats meat, so it’s also good.

Is it actually ethically acceptable to control distribution of something that naturally shares itself?

Before computers, it actually required some energy to copy the content of a book. With computers now, the action of reading an ebook will actually copy it from the hard drive to the ram. If your book is on the cloud, there’s even more copying going on. It actually takes more efforts to erase temporary copies (ex: from local cache)!

Digital copying is not the same as physical copying.

My colleague built an ultrasound walking stick for his wife, but can’t even give units to the local sight-impaired community organization due to regulations… He’s given up on getting his design certified.

If i wanted to jump through complicated hoops, I’d try paid streaming services!

COINCIDENCE!?

He suggested solutions like drivers keeping the same car for longer periods of time

That’s what i have been doing… Is that wrong, or just too much anti-consumerism to be presented as a good thing in our society?

From my early torrent days, we used to say that any torrent we dont seed back to at rast 1:1 is bad for the network (leeching). I can see why there is a desire to block StremIO clients, but if it was modified to see back to some ratio, it would be nicer.

As for debrid, it’s a bit too “centralised” for me still… I’ve read that it’s a major weak point in the system and that servers are often unavailable. That’s why i like the resilience of torrents. (Plus the sharing aspect. Sharing is caring!)

I think it’s set up this way so buyers can’t get back to Sony to ask for a free replacement if the media can’t be used anymore.

Let’s say you buy a disk that contains a movie. You din’t buy the right to watch that movie forever, because if the disk breaks, you need to buy a new copy.

However, we could argue that this is just a symptom of a short industry… If my backpack breaks, even after 10 years, the company will replace it free of charge!
