I usually save the frothing for people who I can tell are really interested, but don’t want to join up for some absurd reason. I don’t know why they would lie about their feelings like that, but a bit of shouting and frothing in a corner really gets them agreeable fast. Great technique!

Usually as loudly as possible while wildly gesticulating and showing huge quantities of bloodshot eyeball. Seems effective so far, will continue to report in.

ITT: people who apparently think the only online crime is copyright infringement.

It’ll get there! It’s a great idea and denizens of the 'verse tend to have a passion for this sort of thing

Yes, you should enjoy it! But it will not get you any invites. Which, incidentally, you should not be asking for in public forums. It’s frowned upon. A lot.

Bandwidth has literally never been a problem on any tracker. BitTorrent made bandwidth concerns obsolete over 20 years ago, as long as files are well-seeded.

You will have to pay your dues like everybody else.

This looks really great. It’s going to need some dedicated book nerds to fill it with content, but those are probably not hard to find around here. I’m in.

Edit: a lot of dedicated book nerds

The dangly-but-not-dangling bits of the bracelet bangles appear to be attempting to tunnel into his tattoos. Gravity and anatomy: shit AI doesn’t understand.

That’s Xitter’s last dying gasp, for me. I have only accessed it through Nitter for many months now.

BUT MAH FREEDOMS!!!

At least the yokels stuck it to the libs before they had all their extra-depraved porn taken away.

Do we just not fucking do Rule #3 any more?

#3: Do not request or link to specific pirated titles

I didn’t say it wouldn’t work, just that it’s shameful…somebody always takes the bait.

This trolling is like squirrel hunting with a howitzer. No subtlety. No skill. Pathetic. You should be ashamed of your weak, baby-like troll-fu.

Can confirm group-watching with Plex. I did this quite a few times with some friends during the darkest initial pandemic times and it’s a great way to connect with distant friends. I also recommend, as someone mentioned, a simultaneous discord chat. We exclusively watched horrible movies and MST3K’d the shit out of them.

Same! Not sure why Google doesn’t crack down on it. They either don’t know, don’t care, or quietly want to encourage people to become Android devs

Well, you probably just need to buy that shitty Redmi then. My shitty Redmi thinks it’s a new Pixel, however, thanks to my dumb ass learning a few new tricks on my old S7 back in the day 😉

Find your exact device here and then look at tutorials for unlocking your bootloader and installing a custom ROM. I had a Galaxy from that era and it’s relatively easy to pwn them. As a noob, you should set aside a day for the process and make sure you’ve carefully read all the tutorials before that day. Careful prep will save you a lot of stress.

This happens with every migration from a large platform. One thing that insulates the fediverse, I think, is that it’s non-commercial nature makes it enshittification-proof. There are a lot of significant problems, but it’s super attractive that some tech-bro dickhead won’t blow up the platform to satisfy shareholders’ insatiable profit-lust.

Reddit is now firmly on the enshittification path, so it’s only a matter of time before another exodus wave.
