Lol sure bro 👍 have a good night.
@HamSwagwich
Woof, well I was genuinely trying to see the differences but I guess these weirdly aggro responses tell me thats gonna go nowhere. I learned a lil about Usenet, which is cool, happy to be wrong and have that corrected, hopefully u can figure out some way to communicate that might make someone want to help u out with how youre really wrong about the culture and tech of bittorrent too.
@HamSwagwich not sure what you mean re: torrent indexers, you mean trackers? i've never paid, but i have made donation to server costs.
idk how usenet is safer or more private, since you have to download through a server and is subject to subpoena (since unlike trackers they actually do host the files). at best it's the same level of privacy with vpn. free indexers seem like easy honeypots
did a search for a few movies i watched recently and got nothing, so i guess ymmv on finding everything.
@HamSwagwich huh, yeah i guess preference is partly political, where what i'm interested in with p2p is building a different kind of internet that isn't just a bunch of servers owned by someone else, and to me the system being set up so you give back what you take (ie. ratios) is a good one rather than just consuming content as a service, so maybe irreconcilable difference in preference.

this is not how compensation for writers works, generally, and also the whole idea is to break a traditional publishing system that exploits writers in favor of one where people directly pay the authors.

bring back Warez ANSI art packs, memes over BBS
@GreenCrush
I read it as them saying it’s a good thing and sort of tiptoeing around piracy, as academics do
@YellowtoOrange
oh crap did this federate like a post to the magazine. I am both glad that is how it works and embarrassed for spamming.
tidy little lesson in the difference in posting modalities lmao.
yes it seems overdue ❤️

back in my day “pay the artists, fuck the platforms” was the motto

@whatsarefoogee
what forum do you think you are posting on lmao
@original_ish_name
if this works then every ripping guide on every tracker is about to be prettyyyyy embarrassed
@sunbrothersco
this rocks
@sunbrothersco
testing if this federates
@howrar
@loudWaterEnjoyer
Ya lol piracy communities famously never discuss anything that isnt piracy. Like how every music tracker forum has the vanity label category with independent musicians with bandcamp links or like
