As far as I know, there’s still a strong but small community on Usenet for discussions still

As far as server/desktop stuffs, many have had decent success running them on things like old laptops and raspberry pis to decent success. Won’t be as powerful, but if it’s just you and a spouse and maybe kids or something it should be just fine

Those are dependent on the relevant torrent being available and seeded

Jellyfin/Plex and Radarr/Sonarr + Usenet, you’ll have said file once downloaded for as long as you want, but requires considerably more storage space and torrents suck for older, more obscure stuff. Usenet doesn’t depend on seeders, and the big boys have something like 15+ years retention and you’ll always download them at full speed (no tons of seeders but slow upload speeds to worry about either)

So it’s a matter of personal preference

Just a more polished interface, solid stability, real good transcoding and a client on just about everything that installs an app lmao

If you and everyone you care about being on it have been fine with Jellyfin, then there’s absolutely no reason to switch

It’s alright, but definitely needs a real good polish for more non-technical people.

Unless it’s changed recently however, it’s been maybe a year since I last looked

Jellyfin and Plex: “What am i? Chopped liver‽”

Jellyfin (Or Plex if you have to deal with the “Spouse Factor”) + Radarr and Sonarr + Usenet

Perfection, no annoying physical media to worry about, but you still get to keep the data you…uhh…“acquired”

Anybody remember the SHREK KETCHUP lolol

Exactly, UBI (or direct payments from the gov, whatever works ig) to support everyone’s basic needs. Housing properly sized to each family, food, water, electric, heating/cooling, healthcare and yes even internet. Maybe even a little extra disposable so people can have recreational activities and you know, live.

If you want luxury items, like the latest, greatest most expensive iPhone or whatever thats where you need to get a job to earn extra above the UBI

I’d pay YouTube if it were $5/month instead of $15.

It’s less than 5/month on the family plan IF you have 4 other people you’d like to share with

The family plan is the only reason I pay for premium lol.

Straight outta the scummy debt collector playbook

Ambulance ride AND Tylenol‽ Where the hell are you getting that deal‽

Allegedly denied the life claim, yes

have the raw clicks to cause an issue on properly-maintained websites.

That’s been true of Reddit forever now as well, I only ever remember the Hug of Death actually affecting only small time websites that probably had maybe like 3 people running it.

Links to anything else was usually just fine, barring a few exceptions because even the big boys make fuck ups too

But nowadays the bar to “properly maintained” is lower with more mature, robust and easier to use tooling

What about the cheering on of murder in the street?

Nah, that rich fuck had it coming, shooter is a hero.

The only true teen titans

Eustace Bags from Courage the Cowardly Dog

Good older show, def worth a watch, doubly so if you have kids or nieces/nephews that you want to scare lol

I’m not aware of anything they ban for that any reasonable leftist shouldn’t pass.

Not sucking Xi’s or Putins dick for one, tankie

Ah spoken like a true Tankie.

If you think that’s confusing, just remember there are right-wing fascist Trekkies

Lol yea, Star Trek, the very show known to push progressive societal boundaries (*of the time relative to the shows airing, TOS being a 60s show has a very different message than say TNG in the 80s or ENT in the 2000s or SNW of now) and they think it’s some sort of right leaning show just now being “corrupted by woke”
