Yeah, I got GTA V free from Epic years ago and it was so frustrating to have to deal with 3 layers of DRM (Epic launcher, Rockstar launcher, and Social Club) that I just pirated it. Fuck that.

Yeah, she basically wants all gay and trans people to die. Her .NFOs in her releases are completely unhinged and really into the “anti-woke” culture war.

Sonarr is a TV show downloading interface that connects with various indexers to provide content. It has been hit or miss for me. I don't like some of the features and there's no dark theme. I recently tried it again after a few years and I unfortunately found that it looked and behaved almost the exact same.

I thought auto-renaming would be cool, but if you seed things for a long time like I do, you end up with duplicate copies of everything because it can't delete or rename the original files since they're in use by your torrent client.

I also thought importing my watchlist from Trakt would be cool, but then it started auto-downloading everything I hadn't already watched with no way to pick and choose during the import. I had to do it manually after deleting all of the torrents Sonarr had automatically sent to qBittorrent, which sort of defeated the purpose of having it do all these things for me.

I dunno, maybe I'm just an idiot, but Sonarr seems not to have the level of fine-tuning that I would prefer. It's nearly easier for me to do it myself.

I'm just gonna do it manually from now on, to be honest.

And no, that's not what I want. I have 30+ shows on my watchlist - not only do I not want to watch them all right away, but I have limited disk space and an average download speed of 4MB/s so it just doesn't make sense to download 30TB of stuff all at once.

Hollywood to UK Govt: Investigating Pirates "Increasingly Difficult" * TorrentFreak (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Summary: A recent UK government inquiry into the challenges faced by the film and high-end television industry has recently received submissions from major Hollywood studios advocating for KYC (know your customer) rules for hosting providers, similar to banking regulations to identify money laundering. If adopted, this would...

Keygens are quite rare these days. Downloading from trusted uploaders only is pretty easy if you know what to look for, that's why the piracy megathread from FMHY exists.

Any premature prohibition on the use of 6PPD in tires would be detrimental to public safety and the national economy.

...What about the safety of my body? Or the health of children and animals? It's not as if tire waste dumped into the ocean just stays in the US, this could be affecting Canada and Central America too, as well as other places.

I don't understand how a manufacturer's consortium can basically be like, "we don't want to spend the money to find a new chemical that works similarly on short notice, so we're just going to lobby to poison you indefinitely."

I'm struggling to think of a use case for this. Why not just reply and put an emoji in there?

SLaSZT,
@SLaSZT@kbin.social avatar

I thought it would be obvious because of the article headline, but email reactions. It's undeniable that emoji are useful for communication, I'm just not convinced that this particular interaction with an email is anything that anyone asked for or needs.

The only use case I can imagine would be for school/work accounts, but this feature isn't supported for those types of accounts yet. I'd assume that's because it's not yet integrated into the Office 365 platform.

The question remains: who outside of a corporate environment needs this? Maybe large families who communicate through chain emails? I honestly don't know anyone who uses email to have group chats anymore, but I suppose those people must exist. Just seems like it would be a small number.

    I'm pretty surprised by this. Israel has a lot of wealthy allies and an already robust military propped up by defense manufacturing and compulsory military service. This is going to lead to even more Palestinian casualties than were already happening... every Arab in or near the West Bank is at risk of being executed right now. I'm really curious why Hamas decided to do this given how the global north has been giving Palestine the cold shoulder and actively arming Israel for decades.

    I live in Canada and I know that we are already giving military aid to Israel - we are probably going to increase that after this, and I'm sure that the USA and UK will do the same. There are already mainstream organizations that refuse to acknowledge Palestine whatsoever, so I'm really concerned about the possibility of the apartheid turning into a genocide and no one really caring because "they deserved it," especially given the aggressive anti-Palestinian propaganda in right-wing Israeli institutions and social circles.

    What? That's not at all what I'm saying, I'm an anti-Zionist - I literally called the situation apartheid.

    I just don't think it's likely that Palestine will end up benefitting from this this given how large the Israeli lobby is. Your quip seems inappropriate.

    Doesn't seem to work with kbin.social. Artemis is the only one I've heard of so far that is actually supporting kbin and it's not ready yet. ;n;
