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?

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

Friendly reminder: India is generally Pro-Russia.

What would you recommend instead?

Are you a morning person because you’ve just always had that routine? I’m not a morning person, but pretty sure it’s because society is designed to keep me awake until late at night and I’ve just fallen into that cycle. But I’m curious how other people resist it.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

This is true.

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