Nope. I have fast internet and good displays and I still prefer 720p video. I just don’t see the benefit of multiplying the filesize by 4 to see marginally more detail. Even 4k, if I wanted to have a 4k display, I’ve seen people’s displays and after the initial disorientation and crispness, the appeal wears off. 720p is perfectly adequate.

Pretty often. Most of the newer stuff I like to listen to is on there.

Yup, same. I haven’t pirated software in a decade or so. I’m not much of a gamer, and the software I do use is almost all FOSS.

Books, eh. I’ll buy an epub or PDF that I can download. I’m not “buying” something that can disappear from my library after license agreements change between corpos. I don’t want paper, too heavy and voluminous.

I will buy an artist’s music on bandcamp if available if it’s something that’s going to enrich my life for years to come.

A 2.5" SSD and a sata to USB cable, Mullvad and torrents-csv. I don’t have time for all that overhead, maintenance on that stuff is worse than the time you supposedly save by automating everything. I used to do the deluge seedbox dav server thing, and I had to disassemble it for a reason and found my life got easier after that. Every now and then I just back what I’ve downloaded recently up to the drive.

I do want to run a seedbox again, but just to archive and make available certain things that need to stay available. All the jellyfin owncloud and all that stuff is not worth it to me.

The site says 200tb, and I’m mostly interested in the nes, SNES and genesis archive. I’ve got archives of every game made for those already, but I don’t have every mod and such. Those archives are very small, the nes one is a few hundred megabytes. I’m guessing most of that big number is ps1, 2 and n64 games. I’d probably be interested in archiving those as well but I think the old pre 3d console games are probably worth saving more, since not many people have copies.

Is there a way to download their entire archive?

I downloaded Fight Club once and there’s a few frames at the end where there is a picture of a dick.

Go to libgen.rs to replace your books and use koreader to read them.

If I like it I download it, save the whole album or discography. Archive everything. Never delete. Same for books and movies and shows, though I find myself watching less of those lately.

Subscription lol is someone going to tell him?

FYI, he created Lemmy alone. Nutomic and others began contributing a bit later.

I use torrents-csv https://torrents-csv.ml/ and find the movie I want and download it. I’m like you, I hardly watch movies, this is the most seamless way for me to do it.

Hahahahaha have fun digging in my butthole.

I said I don’t like leftists, I don’t know where you got the idea that I was neutral. But I don’t like Nazis either (real Nazis, not what leftists call Nazis which is everyone and everything), that meme makes a scary point to me, reactionaries breed reactionaries kind of thing. One day one of them is going to be arguing with me on the internet and go digging in my butthole, find this dialogue and screenshot it like it’s some kind of win.

I don’t like communists, or leftists in general. I find that theyre hateful, snarky, they enjoy watching people suffer, they dehumanize their political opponents, theyre disingenuous most of the time, they want to control your thoughts and how you fuck your wife and most of them are incognito racist. But I’m on the internet. I’m here, on Lemmy. Why? Because I want to see this project succeed. I don’t want to go on Instagram and Facebook, I don’t want some sterile environment where all anyone talks about is the weather and the new flavor of Ben and Jerry’s.

If you don’t want to hang out in spaces where people you don’t like hang out, don’t. If it gives you nothing of value feel free. But the internet is public, so it mirrors the world. These are our friends, family members, neighbors, the people we used to talk to at the sandwich joint before everyone had headphones in all the time. I don’t want to experience the world through a fucking condom.

It’s the internet. Youre going to run into people you don’t like online. If you want to live in a coca cola commercial I hear there’s a whole strip mall of multi billion dollar corporate websites you can use, stick to those.

How does them paying for it make it more ethical? If I buy a book and put it on libgen does that make it OK then?

I have never, ever heard of a library rebuying the same book every 8-12 rentals, ever. What do they do with the old ones?

Archival of information and software that is no longer available, such as NES games.

Any and all book piracy is ethical. It’s just like a library. If libraries are ethical libgen is ethical.
