That sounds like they are purposely making getting paid too much work. I’m sure they get out of paying for at least some of people’s work based on what you’re saying.

Turning off auto updates on chrome was convoluted. I assume everything will break when they force this update even with auto updates off.

This just sounds like an asshole, being deaf doesn’t change that.

Brainwashing most simply.

Edit: I found the image that I was thinking of when I posted this…

In world War z the movie, North Korea is safe because every single citizen had their teeth all pulled as soon as the infection started.

I don’t see that in the settings.

If you want a foss solution for something that doesn’t exist, build one.

Boo from Super Mario only moves when your back is turned

It originated in Super Mario Bros 3 in 1988.

I don’t even watch trailers.

The name, poster and 1 line blurb is what will get me to watch or not watch a movie anymore

I hate that there is such a rigid structure required for directories and such. Can’t my drive of audiobooks just be scattered trash like everything else in my data life? Lol

I mean usenet servers are running with insane retention… omicron hosts have 5648 day retention, other backbones are over 4500

Unless it gets taken down, it doesn’t go away anymore… providers just keep retaining. I suppose that will end eventually… maybe some day the cost of storage will prohibit archiving 15 year old binary usenet posts.

I used this list and signed up for library cards in 20 different places. Just Google for an address near the library or even use the libraries address.

From my experience, the sno isle library has what I’m looking for for often them the rest.

I use eweka and thundernews as backup. I rarely need thundernews. It only tries that one of eweka is missing what I’m looking for.

So you could get 2 streaming services which would make you miss out on the content available on the other 200+ other streaming services out there.

With Usenet you can get content from all of them.

Eweka is cheaper https://www.eweka.nl/en/landing/unlimited-usenet-special € 5,99/mo for a year

And here’s a deal for easynews. https://signup.easynews.com/checkout/unlimited-special-deal/ $6 a month for a year

Usenet. 1522 hits for Tim and Jerry when I just searched.

Frequaw looks great! I’m going to give it a try.

SotN is one of the best games of all time. The GBA Castlevanias are good as well. Thinking of Castlevania always reminds me of that multiplayer co-op CV game on XBL that I wish was still around… Harmony of Despair.

Oh man, I just found a Unity port of Harmony of Despair with an active community playing it!

Drastic DS Emulator on play store has been the best DS emulator in android for years.

Usenet is the best place for TV shows. IRC is good for smaller file sharing like ebooks, comics, roms, etc

This comment made me laugh so hard and I don’t know why… I love it!
