   While I can't speak to TPB, there are many private trackers solely dedicated to maintaining obscure content.

   Out of curiosity I looked at the page source to see if it was there but somehow not displaying. I was surprised and impressed by how clean their very basic HTML is. It feels like ages since I looked at a page source and didn't have to

   I wonder if our general views of construction are related to the public's distrust of politicians? Personally, when I'm inconvenienced by a crew spending six months on a job that looks like it could be done in two weeks, I think &

   I recommend opnsense [0] over pfsense. I ran pfsense for 5 years and it is great, but there was some bad blood [1] between the two projects and the community. [0] https://opnsense.org/ [1] https://teklager.se&#x2

   Your post reminded me of one of my favorite quotes. "Growth for the sake of growth is the ideology of the cancer cell.” - Edward Abbey

   I've been using it for about 4 years and agree that it the community feels like it's an open source project... and then you remember you've paid for it, and there hasn't been a (non beta) release in almost a full year, a

   I actually wanted to make sure there were no gifs. I feel like gifs ruin reviews and make low quality reviews get the most 'engagement'.

    I'm glad someone's making this! I've been wanting an alternative for a while. I do have two questions: 1) Why can't I browse the site without an account? Is this temporary for the beta phase or a persistent design choice

    This is the correct way, imo. Why start a relationship with a company that's going out of it's way to pay you less?

    I've often wondered why scooter companies don't keep metrics on their users, and punish the ones who use their product poorly (donuts, bad parking, use on sidewalks, etc) and came to the conclusion that these antisocial users are

    Counterpoint: These scooters go 20 MPH and there's no oversight on where or how they are used. I walk around a 'pedestrian only' lake every day, and these scooters come about literally 2 inches from me going 20 mph every 2-3

    Are you saying Harry Potter himself was nerdy? Because he definitely never did homework or studied and lucked into every solution he ran into by dumb luck. Hermione was nerdy, but was usually made fun of for being nerdy, and was a love inte

    So NFT's are just a way to introduce artificial scarcity for what is otherwise a reproducible digital good? A way for people to flex money on things that don't exist? They're like DLC skins in a video game - worth nothing, ot

    I use a 5-3-1 todo strategy every day: 5 easy things, 3 medium things, 1 hard thing. I didn't invent it, but it works well for me. Anything that didn't get done the day before gets escalated a category the next day. That thing I t

    I agree with you, but at least Valve's in the sphere, doing their thing.

    This is well done, thank you. As someone who's currently learning a language using the refold method[0], this is really really helpful. My one suggestion would be linking to letterboxd [1] in addition to imdb -- the user scores on lett

    I set signal to auto delete messages older than 2 weeks. There is zero reason to keep messages of a personal relation longer than that, for me at least. I am prone to nostalgic romanticizing, and not having access to past messages kind of s

    Question I'm asking in good faith: will this proof have any consequence for the bottom 99.99%? Is there a way this research helps shape policy?

    Interesting - but, are you saying netflix is using those original 16:9 scans? From all the screenshots I can see it looks like they took a 4:3 source and cropped to 16:9. Makes me think as well that If netflix had rescanned all the film to

    Disney+ actually has both versions of the Simpsons. There's an option to use the original aspect ratio you can check (of course that's opt in - the default is the wrong ratio). Seinfeld on Netflix on the other hand only has the cr

    It's an interesting question. They literally stopped selling the video game due to a server shortage. I assume the money lost from lack of sales during the holiday season outweighs the cost of premium price on servers. "Since July

    Yes, I've ran into that issue. If I'm trying to solve a problem and reddit's the only source of a solution, that's when I enable the VPN.
