Honest question, why would you need a VPN if you want to download from private trackers?

Usually, copyright owners target people on public trackers and on the DHT. Not a problem if you only get into private trackers.

Why would you need a VPN? Is it for pirating content?

I used to love GNOME 2, but now it’s unbearable. It looks and it behaves as if it’s a toy for kids.

Also, why do apps have buttons in their title bar? It makes no sense.

I’m sad that a good open source project such as GNOME has become so bad.

Exactly. I was using Nero in 2005…

I’d like to add that accessing your things from outside the home is relatively simple if you have a static IP and you setup a VPN to your home with Wireguard.

Some advanced routers even have native support for Wireguard, like the Freebox in France or the Iliadbox in Italy.

Problem is, 99% of people don’t even know what open standards are.

It’s because they don’t want to break compatibility with existing software. Which I understand, because if they broke old software then people could just migrate to Linux as well

We need to protect Linus at all costs.

The old Reddit interface is always the best one.

100% agree, we live in a 1984 age.

Also, using stupid words such as unalive doesn’t make any sense because the algorithm of social media companies knows exactly what it means.

Let’s all repeat: LLMs don’t know any facts. They’re just a thesaurus on steroids.

Em dash? Wikipedia.

Nice-looking quotes? Wikipedia.

Accented uppercase letters? Wikipedia.

(Yeah, I know. The last one can only be understood by Italian speakers; or speakers of other languages with stupid keyboard layouts)

A feature that has been present for 20 years, but never exposed in the interface. Truly magical.

No, it’s not DNS censoring. It’s Imgur “firewall” that blocks some Italian IPs.

Yeah, with my Italian ISP, Imgur doesn’t work. We need a better alternative.

Just like “Brazzers”. I wonder if they did it on purpose.

Also, let’s stop calling it “sideloading”. Sideloading has a bad vibe. We just want to INSTALL software on our own devices.

Good luck installing Tailscale on my friends’ LG webOS TVs.

Leaving Plex and switching to Jellyfin would work even better.

The most annoying thing about Jellyfin is that there’s no way to consolidate all of your servers under a single interface.

With Plex, I have a huge library made up of all my friends’ libraries.
