Soulseek

Soulseek is good. It’s a peer-to-peer sharing service, so you can just choose who to download from rather than waiting in a queue. You can find things in FLAC if you want it, or in various lossy qualities.

Were you watching 4K77 and 4K83 with Digital Noise Reduction? The movies are distributed in two versions, one with film grain and the other with DNR.

AFAIK, the port on your router is irrelevant as the VPN bypasses it.

what do you think imperialism is? the island of taiwan has historically been part of china, the KMT just held onto it after losing the civil war. it’s like if the CSA somehow kept florida

Soulseek is the way to go for music, way quicker and easier to find shit than torrents

i feel bad for any writer there who’s just trying to do tech journalism

right-wing trash website. i don’t even like Fauci but your site is slop for maga facebook uncles

cnet’s record is terrible. first they do crapware bundling, then have factually incorrect articles written by machine learning algorithms, now this

there are definitely real concerns to be had about addictive and manipulative software, i use linux and a dumbphone as well. but “AI” is not some genius, it’s a dumb algorithm and i think ascribing these apocalyptic powers to it is ridiculous.

and using the word “consoomer” makes you look like a 4chan nazi whether that’s what you are or not.
