If pricing is a concern that shouldn’t rule out a VPS. Managed seedboxes are way more expensive than setting it up yourself for the same amount of storage/bandwidth.

Go to lowendbox.com and/or use serverhunter.com to find a VPS that’s more in your price range. I currently pay $22/mo for 8TB of storage and 50 TB of bandwidth at 1Gbps.

If you absolutely don’t want to use a VPS for some reason, then I had a very good experience with feralhosting. I used them for 3 years without issue. But 8TB with them is around $75/mo compared to the $22/mo I’m paying now.

WINE Is Not an Emulator

One of those rare games with an actually good native Linux version

You just reminded me there actually was a browser called Torch that could download torrents like a normal download. It was basically just Chrome with a built-in torrent client.

I remember trying it out when it first came out in 2012. It never caught on and looks like the last release was in 2020.

Only 3.6% inflation. Not great, not terrible.

PIA is the best for torrents. It is $79 for 39 months which is $2.03/mo and they have port forwarding. That’s less than half of pretty much every other provider.

I have had 3 clients (one for a specific tracker, one for everything else, and an extra seedbox) going 24/7 for years with no problems. No complaints about the speeds either. I frequently saturate full gigabit on both downloads and uploads.

You know that’s right.

The answer will always be no to any general question like this. It’s not like the U.S. is a monolith. It’s a culturally, racially, and geographically diverse collection of 350 million people.

Grab 10 random people and the chances of all of them agreeing on almost any subject is near zero.

Oh hey, I love your work on Plasma’s HDR and color management. Glad to see you on Lemmy.

Phoronix is the ONLY website I disable uBlock Origin for.

There is a pretty big difference in terms of usability between Arch and everything else because of the rolling release model and the AUR. Lots of things you would have to manually install from a git repo or track down a PPA for can be installed like a normal package.

Only because people like you refuse to change. That’s a self-fulfilling prophecy.

I don’t understand why you want to be wrong so badly. What do you even gain from that? In this case using the wrong word isn’t even just wrong it’s objectively harmful but for some reason you want to keep doing it anyway? Why?

Why do you need to call him something if it’s inaccurate? Just call him a child rapist and be done with it. Words have meanings and there is no reason to use them incorrectly.

As for who it’s hurting: everyone. Pedophila literally has nothing to do with rape. It is a disorder. It’s estimated it effects as much as 3% of the population. The vast majority of those people have never done anything wrong. They were simply born that way. The more people conflate the medical term with crimes the less likely pedophiles are going to seek help or treatment. Nobody wants to risk being outed as part of the most hated group of people on the planet.

If you want to actually help children instead of being angry the best course of action is to destigmatize the disorder so people can get counseling without fear of ruining their lives. Forcing people to bottle up their feelings/urges/etc. does not lead to good outcomes.

The majority of child molesters are not pedophiles. It is more about power dynamics / them being an easy target.

Plasma actually has a UI for smart TVs if you weren’t aware, although I have never used it myself so I’m not sure how good it is. https://plasma-bigscreen.org

I’ve had to explain this so many times. The majority of molesters are not pedophiles and the majority of pedophiles are not molesters. Pedophilia is a disorder, one that people suffer from at that. There is a (almost certainly) sizable group of pedophiles who have never actually done anything wrong but are caught in the crossfire of anger and therefore can’t seek help/treatment.

This happens to me constantly. Just the other day I asked some friends for something and then they sent the literal exact opposite of that thing. Pretend I asked for blue with red stripes they gave me green with yellow polka dots. And it wasn’t just one person it was three separate people who all decided that made sense for some reason.

I was extremely specific too, even more than usual because I know people constantly misinterpret me. I made extra sure to not use any language with vague meanings and it still happened anyway. It’s like we live in alternate realities where words have completely different meanings.

It makes me not want to talk to people at all.
