I mean, you made me look at it again myself, as the multi-part rar files on Usenet are still very much a thing. The allowable “article” sizes for binary content are larger than for text articles, but still too small for video or high-quality audio.
LEGALLY*
Personally, that’s why I subscribe to illegalism before even anarchism.
I love everyone in all branches of this thread now.
Pirated media(images, movies, ebooks, ROMs) uses binary posts, not text. There are different limits and retention policies for binary versus text articles, and most Usenet servers, particularly cheap or free ones, don’t host a lot of the categories a pirate would want at all.
Please don’t imply that all Usenet providers facilitate piracy.
Magical times before my own on Usenet.
Exactly this. I don’t need 1080P or 4k mp4 rips with 10bit audio, and I definitely don’t have the storage for it, but when that’s all that is seeding, its usually quicker to just download it and re-encode.
Downloading large files from Usenet was paid pretty early on. If the core functionality of Usenet is now paid, this is news to me.
Wait. Were we somehow expecting more from a live-action MODOK?
My lane is that Kirk needed to die, and listening to Hogg would have prevented it. Same goes for the leftist revolution that needs to happen, but I’ll settle for laughing at arterial blood spray for now, because I already know I’m an awful person. What’s your excuse?
Hogg has views that are correct for him, what he’s lived through, and sure, decent countries, which ours is not. The one view is unfortunately incompatible with what the people need for the US government and its cronnies.
I’ve hated his guts since he started speaking out, but that’s because he’s just correct enough and has the moral standing enough that I have nothing to use against him and his pro-gun-control platform.
He’s a DNC shill, but whether he’s a kool-aid-drinker or just using them(no sign of that, but this coin-operated boy can hope), I can’t help but wish him the best after what he’s been through.
No shit. My 9yo daughter is gonna think I’m cool as shit until she can be bothered to ask what it means. It has all the things.
For your second point, its not at all uncommon for previously-legit sites to go malicious. Age alone means nothing, nor does reputation after a few years.
You or I don’t have the right to kill a man like so without facing punishment from the government and society. At a minimum, you get to spend the rest of your life in fear of getting caught, but while I have every right to try to stop you, whining about it if you happen to get away is just that, whining.
I’m not going to waste that effort lamenting the death of someone whose life actively made the lives of so many so much worse, and no one has the right to make me.
End of the day, we don’t know who killed him or why just yet, but I doubt it was about his words alone, and odds are way too good that Donny just needed a distraction and an excuse.
Oh, I’m fully aware. It just boggles the mind how the same tired outlook has endured for decades now.
If I wanted to READ ai “snark”, I would spend more time on facebook, or go back to reddit. How hard could it be to slap a battery and 4G/5G modem on a google home or alexa? Eiter of which would be easier to run on a phone or tablet, which also includes speakers.
How do these morons that can’t match the convenience of existing privacy nightmares, or even DIY stuff, continue to get VC funding?
You had me, until the second-half of your last sentence. Its more like we can’t rely on perfectly rational systems, because we don’t comply, neither perfectly nor rationally.
Why in God’s Green Earth is the number-line backwards, and the negatives, on the right-hand side?
You didn’t lie to her. You told her the truth up-front and she refused to accept it, intimidating you into a relationship.
FUCKING.
RUN.
No warning, no head’s up, just pack your shit and get out when she’s out of the house one day. She’s proven she’s too immature and violent to be trusted, unless you like having, at a minimum, your stuff broken, abused, destroyed, and probably worse, like more baseless accusations.
