If you go the qbittorrent route, my piece of advice is to always check the settings after any updates.
It was maybe around 8 or 9 years ago, but after one of the updates, all my settings got wiped and set back to defaults I assume.
I didn’t notice until I ended up getting a nastygram from my ISP.
It’s never happened since, but needless to say I always double check now.
… and nobody is there to poop on it, does it even bear repeating at all?
Cormorants?
Intentionally inflammatory posts? I haven’t noticed an uptick, honestly. Doesn’t mean there isn’t one and doesn’t mean I won’t notice now that you posted it.
But I will say that I’ve basically stopped checking my notifications because all of a sudden it seems like almost every time I go in there, I’ve got at least one insufferable, hostile, negative, etc response or message in there. It didn’t used to be that way.
Mostly I assume we must’ve recently gotten an influx of new users from Reddit or someplace similarly toxic. Things usually get a bit unfortunate for a time when that happens.
For a brief moment in time, nana never felt more alive.
And I’m guessing enough boomers DID subscribe for years to make it worth it, if my anecdotal experience is anything close to normal.
Hopefully this won’t get me too much negative reaction: I’m not a proud pirate. I’d rather not pirate at all. I’m kind of ashamed that it’s come to this.
There were a few solid years where I literally did not do it and felt no desire to, back when streaming was new, and there were only a few serious players. I’d love to return to that era, but I know it will never exist again.
So now, I and other members of my family, pay a ridiculous amount of money for a rotating suite of services, trying to do things the right way, and still, there are way too many times when we can’t find anything we want to watch on any of those services and/or the thing we wanted to watch is not available on any of those services.
Finally broke down and just said fuck it. I tried to support this mess as best I could in hopes it would get better, but fully knowing it wouldn’t. When it definitely did not get better I said no more.
