Certain ones, like music trackers, can still be interviewed into. Once you get into an initial tracker and establish yourself, it becomes easier to find / get into new ones via forum invites. It's a long road but barring a time machine it's the easiest way.

I dunno, maybe I just had crappy indexers but usenet was always more miss than hit for me. Maybe it's superior to public torrents but private trackers are the gold standard.

The way the first paragraph is written made me think this is a garbage AI article, but I guess it was a joke. I hate this future.

The mistreatment of the yuppies is my favorite part of that movie. When she opens the door and gets attacked by the squirrel and then the dog, or when the icicle destroys their stereo I crack up every time.

I'm with you, I'm having a blast, but I think the reactions are because of the idea that it would be a Skyrim type game and... It's not really even trying to be that. Like you said, it's an ARPG, the roleplaying is basically just dialogue and most of the game is really well done exploration and combat.

Ground level infrastructure meaning the ability to get people out to do anything from marching to rioting to picketing to canvassing to voting. The Civil Rights movement wouldn't have gotten anywhere if it hadn't actually mobilized people and thus made people aware of / afraid of organized resistance. The Black Panthers deserve a lot of credit as well for being the armed hard core of the movement.

We'd get a lot more of what we want peacefully if oligarchs were afraid we'd rally and fuck up their businesses bottom lines AND that they might get assassinated by radicals.

Sure, whatever. I just think the way shit is credited actually matters, e.g. "Run the Jewels" isn't a Killer Mike album even though he's on every track, just like "Kid A" isn't a Thom Yorke album. Shobaleader One's work is separate from Squarepusher even though it's literally the same person.

Artists make subtle choices when crediting their work, but yeah it's ultimately subjective so do you.

I know you think it's pedantic, it's just that the artist determines what is his personal work and what isn't. If you look up Aesop Rock's discography, Malibu Ken isn't on it, but Garbology is.

It's different because MK is a duo, where Garbology is an Aesop album that basically feats. Blockhead on every track.

Malibu Ken isn't an Aesop album it's a Malibu Ken album. TOBACCO should not be underestimated and is great on his own too.

In my experience that's a very appropriate boner.

I was sort of with you on the ocean stuff, swimming there isn't really a substitute for a lifejacket, but swimming being for the privileged is a weird take.

If you don't have access to a body of water for free, then public pools are usually cheaper than a movie ticket. You don't need any equipment, all you need is one person that kinda half way knows how to swim and is willing to point you in the right direction.

 

Hey all. I use the Jellyfin Android app to control an MPV shim running on Linux (Arch, Plasma 6) and for the most part it works great. However, sometimes the app just completely loses track of what's playing or where in the video it is. I can still pause/play blind, but I'd like to be able to tell where I am in a season/episode. Any trick to dealing with this?

For reference I have the app set to "unoptimized" battery usage so it shouldn't just be going to sleep. I do have to open Jellyfin to actually send pause/play button presses from the notification though so I don't know if I just need a better workaround (I'm on the latest Android version if that matters). I also had the same problems using a Chromecast but never bothered to mess with that since the dongle is proprietary, but with the mpv shim the whole stack is open source so I thought I'd ask...
