BBC has been ramping up the scare mongering lately. I mean, moreso than usual. Maybe I’m just noticing it more though.

This is what I use. Stremio, Torrentio add-on for Torrent sources, and a bit of tinkering so I don’t see the paid options. Works pretty well for single episodes of some shows (for others I download the box set).

Edit: I mean it works for full shows, but when I really like a show enough I’ll have a hard drive copy.

When I was in university, one of the source materials required was at an absurd price. The lecturer made a point that it makes no sense to spend that much money on something we are unlikely to use beyond the module, so she encouraged us to use Z-Library and provided links. I really miss her, she was an absolutely fantastic lecturer.

I’ll believe it when it happens, until then all I hear are promises that could be broken.
Words alone are meaningless.

Yeah but the radar/lidar may allow them to drive into things quicker.

Too late! They’re going to have to go after the Ryujinx sporks now. When will they learn? There’s just too much cutlery for them to compete!

Can’t wait for ByuBinx to release.

I remember when Skype first came out, when I was a teenager. I called a random guy in Japan; he was learning English, I wanted to learn Japanese (as is tradition for teenage anime fans). It was a very kind series of calls, and we talked a bit about Japanese culture too. He taught me, rather patiently, how to pronounce certain basic words properly.
It’s a shame the service was treated like it has been. There was great potential in connecting people.

Wherever you are, random Japanese dude I forgot the name of, konbanwa!!

Thank you for this comment, it makes me happy to know Lenovo have not removed their nipple.

Wasn’t he forced to do so after trying to back out, or am I either imagining that or thinking of someone else?

The suppression of the means to educate, as a priority, is a purposeful tactic to subdue dissent.

I hope Z Library, and others like it, live on like the hydra.

I can’t wait for Apple to reveal a desk, with a keyboard built-in underneath the back side of it.

Every day I am trying my hardest, to not give into a temptation and eat my own body weight in puffed cheese balls.
This has nothing to do with the post, however you did ask.

How Can Capital Letters Be Real If Our Eyes Aren’t Real???

Decade half last the since not?
Darn you Redditors and your code speak!!

OH! Sorry I completely misunderstood, I love that question.

Various ways. Sometimes I go to record shops, and go through the vinyls until I find something with a cool name or other arbitrary metric I’ve come up with to choose an album. This is how, many years ago, I found Foxboro Hot Tubs -i literally picked it up and thought, “well this sounds like it may be a funky band!” Then realised immediately that the lead singer sounded a lot like Green Day’s Billie Joe Armstrong but singing entirely different styles. Turns out it was a side band of theirs!!

Other times I always keep Shazam handy when I’m outside, going for walks, meeting with people, going somewhere to eat, etc. in this way I’ve realised a lot of other people have very cool tastes so when I hear something I like, I literally pull out Shazam on my phone and see if it can figure it out.
For the moments it doesn’t work, I usually find someone to ask. Doesn’t always work though.

Other times I’m just going through each playlist on streaming services, like YouTube Music, and just skipping until I find something I like and then add it to a list.
I listen to various genres, however there are a lot of sub-genres alongside occasional fusions I would miss out on if I only go with the tunes I know, so I’m keen to just randomise the genres rather than focus on one solely. Cypress Hill is a good example, since there are a good number of tracks they did with a rock vibe, or that Korn track they did with Ice Cube. Many times I’m playing songs for the vibe I’m in at the time, so it literally can flip from Suidakra to Taylor Swift depending on my hectic mind haha.

Hope that answers your query.

Most of my tracks have been collected over time, through various different methods. Most recently I’ve been buying digital copies of albums I like when streamed (usually YouTube Music provides a nice way to sample them this way).

However some artists spend their entire careers trying to remove a rib, yet their music sounds good so I usually Torrent those.

Last week I set up Navidrome on my PC, and connect to it with an app (Tempo) on my phone.

It’s like having my own Spotify. Snappier too.

They were bought by Comcast a number of years ago, so they’re actually worse than before if you can believe it.

Grab Stremio, it’s a program you can download.
Once you’ve downloaded that and opened it up, in any browser go to torrentio.strem.fun and click to install that to your client.

In the program go into your settings and remove the official sources from showing up (like apple TV, Netflix, etc.) and et viola.

You can use popular lists or search for series, and it’ll find the episode/movie from pirates sources.

The fun thing about this is it’s all educational. Not the program nor the torrentio link are illegal, it’s only what you do with it. So all in all, I hope you enjoy searching for legal documentaries supported by creative commons licensing!

I’m just saying I don’t think the market is going to be big enough for these models to even get close to emptying shelves. Maybe it’s not the right time, I don’t know, I’m just finding it difficult to see any use where people would find it more appealing than the form factors and devices they already have.
