Depends on what you’re into. The not so big meme ones are great for casual amusement. In fact any community that isn’t the biggest on Lemmy is generally good.

What gets me is how everyone can spout this shit and not feel any shame. Somehow it’s okay when US companies do it, but even suspecting the Chinese is enough to shun something. I’m disappointed to see all the upvotes this bigotry gets.

Dammit, even StreamEast!

You’re an absolute legend. Thank you. I checked Reddit, but with all the ads, I quickly got overwhelmed. But this looks a fantastic starting point. Truly, thank you so so much.

I hear you on that. I feel like the only thing I’m missing from my set-up is an IPTV subscription for live sport. With Usenet everyone is so forthcoming with information, so it’s easy to quickly get to grips with everything, but with IPTV, I’m struggling to find a thread to pick at to allow me to unravel some knowledge. Especially with all the services being shut down at the moment.

Always remember to source your hardware and subscriptions separately.

Glad you’re sorted.

If you’re seeing loads of takedowns, maybe it’s time to look for a new provider, because from what I’m seeing everything is still healthy AF.

I understand your paranoia, but it’s impossible to answer a question if you don’t ask one.

Linux distros can’t be pirated. As for TV shows and films, Usenet > Torrent > WWW

Or so I’ve heard.

No one is telling anyone to hoard episodes. You can easily fit a whole series on your phone let alone a single episode. Download, watch and then delete.

I understand that streaming is easier, but people really need to get back into downloading.

NASCompares did a good breakdown with a bunch of deals.

Hardly an alternative. JD is a http auto downloader, QB is a torrent downloader.

Never heard of Asteroid. It looks like it has a lot of potential

Deny it internet access

Doing a git clean is a dick move.

I would like to express my massive thanks for the time and effort you put into making me better at Home Assistant. I truly appreciate it. Thank you from me and everyone in the future that may see this and find it helpful.

Sorry, I hate to be that guy, but since you’re dismissing the opinion of one of the people that designed the first decentralised social media protocol, I’m going to assume it’s because you’re better qualified to make the assessment. Can I ask, what are your qualifications?

It’s instance dependent.
