I think it starts with worshipping a flag in school.

Ah ok, fair enough. I did read the article, but I didn’t realise that was what you were talking about - perhaps quoting the bit you’re responding to would stop me and others being confused.

Which comments are you talking about? There’s one comment that’s deleted by a mod, and mostly everyone else is talking about Germany.

I’ve even gone to your instance to see what you see, and seems like you’re complaining about something that’s not present.

You’re being downvoted for your strawman framing. Recognising that Netanyahu’s actions in Gaza (and farther, now) are unethical and illegal is absolutely not the same as calling for another Jewish genocide. Being pro-Palestine does not mean you’re calling for the destruction of Israel or the murder of Jews.

There seems to be a fairly successful effort to frame any opposition of Israel’s actions as antisemitic, which is a disgraceful attempt to use the suffering of Jewish ancestors as a shield against criticism today.

I disagreed until you pointed that out.

More than 10% but less than 30%? They initially said that they only downloaded, but now their argument seems to be they uploaded little enough that no-one got a complete copy of anything from them.

Having the file is the first step in removing the DRM - you can set DeDRM up as a plugin in Calibre to strip DRM automatically when you add the AWZ3/KFX file to your library.

I find stereo mixes are better for more smooth audio levels - if you get a surround mix (assuming you don’t have a surround sound system), then the centre channel is too quiet in the downmix. You might be able to boost the centre volume, which depends on your setup.

I mostly use private trackers, and normally the only stereo is in multi-track releases so you will waste a bit of storage there (plus they tend to be larger, high quality files).

Ball dance of the apocalypse.

There’s two tiny heads inside the hoodie. It’s like in cartoons where small characters stand on each others shoulders in a trenchcoat.

I find there’s aot of bad advice around shoes - particularly the idea that lots of padding and support is helpful.

I went to a physio who said my feet were flat and wanted to sell me inserts/special shoes. I instead fixed that with stretches and exercise.

It’s like if I’d complained that my arm hurts when lifting something heavy and instead of looking at my form and helping build up the muscles they said “just wear this sling”.

I’m getting on in years and all my other runner friends have bad knees, but I wear minimal shoes and have good barefoot form.

Got a bit off topic… yes, walking is great for losing weight as the body doesn’t seem to consider it as exercise - it doesn’t compensate by being lazy afterwards (which it does for most exercise).

Legend.

I’ve heard that people claim the moon landings were faked, but (until now?) I’d never heard anyone claiming the Martian rovers were faked.

A tiny fraction of their users paying upfront (remember opportunity cost of money) is hardly going to doom them to insolvency.

Look at this way - investors give money to a company now to receive money later. They risk capital now in exchange for future rewards. Lifetime subscribers pay a large fixed amount now to receive free service later. Same thing.

I do miss that really detailed block download page, but that’s only cos I’d watch it instead of doing something useful with my life.

Perhaps some Youtube’s done a video on it… I feel like I’ve seen a headline or link saying something like “Why Paul is underrated” recently.

I didn’t know there was an extended version, do the extra 6 minutes add anything? Maybe not

I’ll take “Artisan”!

This should be be a local link for most: !opencracks@lemmy.dbzer0.com

Brilliant phrase! I’m an archiver myself partly because it takes me ages to watch things, and partly because some things get returned to again and again. I could definitely do with a cull, but it’s easier to commit to more storage.

Good question. I assume it’s DHT delivering peers that aren’t in the tracker(s), or maybe a problem with the tracker(s).

The format’s “# connected (# total)” in every client I’ve seen.
