I don't know about the latter half of your statement, but my main reason for its use is pretty simply just that there's more music available, and it doesn't take all the time it normally would to get invited to a good music tracker. If anything, specialized Torrent trackers that could offer the same volume of music are a much bigger pain go deal with.

Yeah, I don't think this one is a priority for the IDF boss.

Soulseek is a P2P file sharing system centered around music in particular. It's pretty direct. Unlike a torrent where you'll have multiple seeds for a single source, you're connecting directly to other individuals for the content. It generally operates under the expectation that you're also sharing something, and some users may opt not to allow downloads to people who do not also allow downloads from themselves. The downside to this system is you may need to wait for that person to come online before you can start a download, while with a torrent, other seeders can fill that gap.

It's survived as a pretty big platform for music hoarders to source hard to find material, but it's so dead simple to use and it has a quick and reliable search. Nothing secretive about it, it's basically just another P2P network that has more in common with Napster than the Pirate Bay

Can I introduce you to soulseek? I promise it's going to serve way better than torrents for that kind of stuff.

GOG, basically. Which feels a bit ironic given Heroic covers GOG

No fix planned for Ryzen 3000 is a disappointment

Almost definitely. Between hunting rats in cow carcass pits, eating strange bushmeat on safaris and a lifelong habit of collecting more roadkill than he has room for, it's almost certain he's consumed something parasitic as a result

Probably because he helped get it off the road after she hit it. I don't think he's being sexist here, I think he quite likely did encounter a woman who had hit a bear. He apparently has a whole thing for roadkill meat, and is more than happy to make it his problem.

The guy is stranger than fiction.

I like CDs, but I guess I can't really call myself a kid anynore though, being in my mid twenties. I typically use Spotify for discovery/casual listening but but an album on CD or digitally through Bandcamp when the option is presented to me. I went out of my way to buy a 25 disc CD changer.

Vinyl have definitely become way more popular for physical music purchases, but I like the smaller footprint of a CD.

I do think the vast majority of people use Youtube Music, Spotify or a similar service though. It's inexpensive, has family plans and optical media players just aren't common anymore.

Wat. This has nothing to do with Windows 11 system requirements.

Well I thank you for your contribution regardless. Roku is all I've got, so it helps to have people like you annoyed enough, and knowledgable enough to contribute.
