I find it funny that apparently conspiracy theorist directly translated from german is "very wrong theorist"

couple things:

  • generally the rules prevent torrents from becoming incomplete
  • usually theres a request system, which can be very useful for old or obscure stuff.
  • usually much faster for all but the most popular stuff
  • way more timely and consistent. Less problems where it takes a few days after a release for it to show up or for a series to stop being uploaded half way through a season.
  • less chance of honeypots or other malicious behaviour (you should still use a VPN though obviously)
  • more consistent quality and naming enforcement (which means it usually works better with *arr)

I can't vouch for this particular tracker but in general (free) private trackers are very nice.

I looked up some reviews for the tracker and reddit was shitting all over it, claiming it's pretty pay to use and the admins are tyrants. Can anyone share their experience?

It's pretty hard to be open and transparent when 2 men with guns and black suits are sitting at your kitchen table.

We don't know if that happened, but given the speed this happened and the us being the us...

If it breaks that they had a long runway of knowing this had to happen, then sure bring out the pitchforks, but imo we should default to this happening under heavy pressure to act immediately.

Nerds like us can argue until we are blue in the face, 99% of the public will continue to call it Linux. GNU/Linux is a good way to prompt those not in the know to learn some of the history while still being understandable as Linux, that is the current and best solution, I do not think it is unresolved.

These both seem to be pretty neutral titles?

Go to language and region > click 3 dots for your language > language options > add a keyboard > add Dvorak (or whatever). Then either remove the qwerty layout or do win+space to actually select the keyboard layout.

I think this will cause as many problems as it solves (from Reddit's POV), going private has always been a panic button for mods when shit hits the fan. Now those controversies will have much longer to build and have news stories written about it first. Short sighted.
