100% agree.

I’m 50 years old and I am the IT guy for people of all ages. Not because I am part of some gifted generation that understands computers, but because I have a genuine interest and took the time to learn these things.

My 16yo son also has a keen interest in computers and I am passing on my knowledge where I can.

I somewhat feel that attributing computer knowledge to a generational thing in some way diminishes the effort and time it took to get the knowledge and experience that I do have.

You don’t have to have hung around with Henry Ford to be a car guy, or Nikola Tesla to be an electrician.

I already have two kids. Is it too late to adopt this lifestyle?

Alberta here. I had no problem walking in to the local pharmacy and getting my COVID booster and flu shot.

Of course, my province probably has the lowest vaccination rate in the country so there is that.

For day to day use I generally grab anything that I am interested in and leave it seeding indefinitely, or until I need to prune to free up some space.

If I need to boost ratio I grab something that is new and hot to seed for a bit. In general though, I try to seed things that have lower seeder counts so that they remain available. Many times these are not things that I am really interested in.

If you are not using any private trackers then I suggest you get on one and just be active. If there is a particular thing you are interested in then there is probably a tracker for it.

I also seed Linux ISOs but those are public so it doesn’t help when it comes to ratio or anything. It’s just a thing that I do because I can.

I recently watched Twisted Metal and it was pretty darn good. Who doesn’t love cars with guns?

I’m in Alberta. Our UCP overlords are still investigating the serial arsonists that are starting all these fires. FFS, how can we have even a modicum of hope that we can do anything with meatballs like that in charge?

I was thinking this as well. If people won’t click past the headlines then we are truly doomed.

I do think news not being on social media might not be a bad thing. I guess we’ll have to see how it plays out.

This is such a BS law. It should be framed as paying for headlines, not news.

I have no love for Meta but I have to side with them on this one. This law makes no sense. People post headlines on social media and users click on those to go to the news outlet and read the article. In the end, the news outlet still gets the advertising revenue and the visits to their site.

That is a good way to explain it. Well done.

Unsealed court documents last year revealed London police said they had reasonable grounds to accuse five world junior players of sexual assault.

I would love to know who these five players are. They need to be held accountable.

I read somewhere that the base game pass for console doesn’t include online multiplayer. That seems weird but might explain why the price is close to gold.

I see no problem with this.

I tried for a long time to find reliable sources for the races and kept hitting a wall. Any sources I did find didn’t last or were unreliable. I eventually gave up looking.

I finally bought F1 TV Pro and don’t regret it one bit. The stream quality is great and being able to switch cameras whenever I want is a huge feature. The value added features are why I will continue to pay for it.

Not yet. I have all of the altars in Fractured Peaks so far. Other than that I haven’t specifically been looking for them. I probably should be I suppose.

Yeah. I tried to grab the binaries which are on GitHub of course.

I went to the releases page which links to GitHub. I will clone the repo instead.

Already taken down. I tried to grab a copy but wasn’t fast enough.

Yup. They will use the fact that a user said they pirated a movie as a starting point. If Reddit capitulated and handed over the user info that could be used to hunt for more evidence and possibly connect them to other pirates. It would open a juicy can of worms for these bottom feeders. Good on Reddit for standing up for their users.

This is what I’m thinking. This is just a case of them seeing how far they can take it. Once precedent is set they can start to litigate based on a user merely mentioning that they pirated a movie.

I have a Block News account that I add to every now and then. I haven’t used it in a couple years since the indexer I was using shut down. Haven’t really looked for a new indexer though.
