I jumped into Usenet as an experiment and, once it was setup, it was ok. Although it is definitely not simple to get started and it seems you are constantly having to pay for stuff, even to access the trackers, which don’t even have all the content!

I decided I didn’t download enough and what I wanted was too hard to find, so I went back to Torrents. Way simpler for my occasional use.

Is SpaceX failing?

Hay Fever season just around the corner. Better stock up

But what about Bowie? Why his name being dragged through the mud

cerulean_blue OP ,

That makes sense. Thank you so much. That is a question that has caused me issues for a long time. Now I understand it.

cerulean_blue OP ,

Thanks. I did check Trash guides before posting but it doesn’t cover installation, much less Linux user naming and groups, unless I missed it.

Which parts of Europe is that?

Is it Germany where you can only buy shnitzel, sausage and cabbage in various different forms?

Or Italy, where they’re so proud of their food it’s basically illegal to serve anything that isn’t Italian?

Or France where spice and chilli is outlawed, only garlic and herbs allowed?

It’s true that a lot of traditional British food is bland, but there are way more Chinese, Indian, Thai, mexican, Italian restaurants in any town in England than you’ll find anywhere in Europe.

cerulean_blue OP ,

I’m just trying the scene out, but so far I’m put off by having to pay for both indexers and providers, and now I need multiple of both to get what I thought was basic content (a film about a boy wizard).

Maybe it’s a different problem causing my downloads to not even start, but the help page suggests DMCA as likely cause.

cerulean_blue OP ,

Thanks, great reply.

I’m not willing to give up just yet. So I’ll try a block account from a different provider and see how it fares.

cerulean_blue ,

This is the way

Where did everyone go? I thought Lemmy was the new hangout but it still seems so small, even popular posts are only getting a handful of comments?

cerulean_blue ,

Arghh, two conflicting replies. What do we do?!!

cerulean_blue ,

Friendly reminder: India is generally Pro-Russia.

cerulean_blue ,

From my first hand experience when I visited last year, nearly everyone I spoke to had a hard time acknowledging there was anything wrong with what they saw as Russia reclaiming land that was rightfully theirs. There was often outright admiration for Putin for being brave enough to put the interest of his nation first and telling the West to go swivel.

No coincidence that India has similar feelings towards several of its own neighbours and parts of Kashmir are not too dissimilar to Crimea.

The reaction would be very different if China ever did the same in Taiwan though, because… reasons.

cerulean_blue ,

Genuine question; how do you know that? Is there an alternative news outlet that focuses on the Gazan perspective (without the equally bad hyperbole they also seem prone to).

cerulean_blue ,

Behaving like Waffen SS

cerulean_blue ,

You’re making a serious claim about war crimes at a level comparable to the SS. My question was, where are you getting this information from. It would be useful to counter some of the pro Israel media bias we see otherwise.

And killing the last of the dragons and stuff

Read the full comment before replying you lemon

Why? We all know LLMs are just copy and paste of what other people have said online…if it answers “yes” or “no”, it hasn’t formulated an opinion on the matter and isn’t propaganda, it’s just parroting whatever it’s been trained on, which could be anything and is guaranteed to upset someone with either answer.

cerulean_blue ,

You’re doing just great at shaming yourself to strangers on the internet. Keep it up.

cerulean_blue ,

Don’t know why everyone is shitting on you. You raise a good point. When did piracy become something you pay for?

cerulean_blue ,

Lol, No and No.

Why would you pay for a ‘beefier’ internet connection AND pay for Usenet and then pay even more for a NAS.
I pay for Usenet so precisely so I don’t need those things.

cerulean_blue ,

I agree. The magical feeling of being a student at Hogwarts soon evaporated as soon as you got a broom and didn’t really need to visit Hogwarts again and instead just fight endless random enemies, which gets pretty easy as you level up.

I was also disappointed by the endless voice acting. There was so much pointless talking and you couldn’t really control the outcome, all options seemed to result in a positive outcome when I just wanted to be a badass Malfoy but you’re not allowed, you jave to be a goody goody Hermione, juat in Slytherin clothes.

cerulean_blue ,

A way to fairly pay the original content creator.

If I really enjoy a movie, series or music, I often actually want to send the actual creator some money to reward their creativity. May be just a dollar, may be ten. But I can’t.

cerulean_blue ,

Pray tell, what is your favourite method of execution?

cerulean_blue ,

When I’m compelled to chant “freedom,freedom” in a crowd of proud American conformists, I instead shout “femdom,femdom”. It subtly disrupts the harmony of the chant and sows confusion and self-doubt.

But, in 229 years, will a Trillionaire be classed as Poverty?

I hope someday we'll find a way to pirated a car (lemmy.world)

In the end, the KIA car company made its cars into subscription models, I really hate this because in the end the car we buy with our own money doesn’t feel like it belongs to us. Should we finally buy an old school car ? so as not to be affected by this subscription models or is there a way to crack the software installed in...

cerulean_blue ,

This is true.

Go and buy a car from a manufacturer who doesn’t insist on subscriptions… whilst you still can!

cerulean_blue ,

This doesn’t address the point. OP said Economy makes them the most money. Sure, Business class is most profitable per ft. But it’s only 25% of the plane at best.

cerulean_blue ,

You are quite right. The link just took me to the FAQ, I didn’t see the entire infographic above it. Very interesting and you are right, Business Class is less than 15% of passenger numbers but they account for 70% of profits.

cerulean_blue ,

Sorry, I must have confused you by using fully formed sentences, some of which included numbers.

cerulean_blue ,

Because she wasn’t. She was the first woman to fly Solo across the Atlantic. The fated flight would have seen her become the first woman to Fly around the world, no mention of being Solo.

It’s not just Simps. Boomers are very vulnerable to this technology, especially the lonely or widows. For some reason, they can be recklessly trusting of internet relationships/technologies. Hence why they keep getting exploited by Romance and Pig Butchering scams and why they can’t get enough Facebook Trump/COVID misinformation.

cerulean_blue ,

Why should Spotify waste time on your pet feature request when they have dozens of working features still to be ruined.

cerulean_blue ,

SILENCIO

cerulean_blue ,

Good point. Give a man a free meal, he eats for a day.

Seed fund an industrial unit churning out basic healthy meals and employ an UberEats-type workforce of homeless/disadvantaged people to distribute the meals, all under a non-profit banner, and hundreds of the poorest of society can eat for $2-5 a day.

cerulean_blue ,

Oh, How I long for the olden days… I would literally die for a fresh glass of water plucked from a local stream. The copious amounts of lead and mercury combine with the rich abundance of feces, microbacteria and other organic matter, to create a pure, natural live giving elixir.

Now all of that has been removed and replaced with modern plastic. No thanks

cerulean_blue ,

Irreversible. A French film (alarm bells already) that disturbs me even to this day.

Makes you grateful for your loved ones and how fragile life can be, how one unlucky encounter can flip everything on its head and you may have no influence over any of it.

Difficult viewing for sure and the message shouldn’t be to live in fear but to enjoy every good moment you get.

cerulean_blue ,

Blues Clues and “Scott’s Tots”. High IQ required or don’t even bother

cerulean_blue ,

Me too. It was the constant popups making me download their app that did it for me.

cerulean_blue ,

Well there is a clear evolutionary advantage to being wary of ‘difference’ and you can see that behaviour in nearly every species. Yes, even fluffy puppy dogs.

Human society is the one exception. We have beaten mother nature in the natural world (hunger, warmth and shelter) and now we are focussing on the primordial mother nature within us. Where we cant directly fix a physical or genetic weakness, we reprogramme ourselves (via society) to normalise and accept differences amongst us.

Attitudes to Rudolph show how much we have changed in recent years.

cerulean_blue ,

Very well made and researched. Very engaging. My favourite is the Blueprint for Armageddon as it covers more recent history which I personally find more relatable, and therefore more powerful, than the other topics. I would love a WW2 series. His arguement is that it is already very well documented from other sources, but I think Dan could really do it justice. zooming in on a specific part of the conflict would be great.

cerulean_blue ,

Not strictly a podcast, but Mentour Pilot on YouTube does a really good job of this too. Has some great visuals but would work as audio only too.

cerulean_blue ,

Super useful, thanks. Actually made a lot of things click in my head about how Linux works.

When did /home get deprecated? Is /usr/local the replacement?

Sorry for the n00b question (I’m not a noob, but I have been off Linux for a few years), figured the answer may be useful to other users too
