well this is my current music library all together in a WinAMP Playlist

TV folder is 6.66tb, Movie folder is 1.84tb, Music is 600gb

That's cool, but why not just use Soulseek?

Plex. I'm not sure if Jellyfin is foss, but if it is, I haven't felt like converting my library. I've put a lot of work into making it just right.

Steam, obviously.

other than video games, I think that's really it. I still use some others, like Spotify, but not primarily, I just like to have options.

That and jokes about refusing to call it X

Clearly whoever wrote this has not tried torrenting popular content 🤨

I pirate. I don't justify pirating. I just do it, because I want things and have the ability to get them for free, so I do that.

I think about this constantly. I'm constantly very upset about it. I've lost friends to cancer and freak accidents, and the loss of the internet is still genuinely the greatest tragedy in my life. The internet is, in large part, nothing more than a series of very customizable and semi-niche subscription packages and big box stores now. VR, particularly VR Chat, is close to/reminiscent of what it used to be like, so I cling to that, Lemmy, piracy, archive.org, and a few other things very tightly, but VR is starting to enter an era comparable to when cable internet started to become commonly available (and full of obnoxious unsupervised children), so it's on its way out; not to mention the continued attempts to ruin the internet archive, which will be, not hyperbolically, the greatest loss to our species since the destruction of Alexandria.

We had it all, and it got bought out from under us, and there's nothing to be done about it. People en masse don't even know what we're missing. I hate it. I'll never get over the obsolescence of specialized forums in favor of social media, in particular.

That an omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent being created all of existence, knew everything that would ever happen and everything its creations would ever do, but still either doomed to damnation or lifted up to paradise each one of them as a result of them doing exactly what they'd been programmed to do

Net Neutrality is a dead concept and has been for years, there's no walking it back

Whoa!

It doesn't necessarily work online though cuz you can't hear that I'm saying it in the voice of Joey Lawrence from Blossom

Raytracing is mostly fucked though, otherwise I'd be gaming exclusively on Linux as well. Aside from that though I've never had any issues with Nvidia on Linux.

What else is there for movies and TV tho? 1337x and pirate bay are all I really know, and they're both pretty dubious.

I miss Demonoid so much 😭
