Public Tracker vs Private Tracker vs DDL vs Usenet
  • I prefer DDL as first priority as I get majority of my content from there. I used to torrent from public trackers when I started torrenting many years ago. A year ago I was able to get into some private trackers. I use them to upgrade my movie collection i.e replacing my old files with better quality.

  • This community's stance on physical media ownership?
  • Right, I got my movies, music on my storage so I own it. Of course it wasn't free, I'd to pay with electricity, internet service provider costs. I don't have space to keep set of dvd/bluray/cd's wherein a single hdd/ssd can hold all of that data. Most of the new content is mostly crap nowadays. I won't pay a dime for it. So yeah will sail the high seas and get my content as long as the options are available to me.

  • Private tracker invite community?
  • Unfortunately the communities mentioned here are dead. So better to stick to the r/opensignups sub or check this OpenSignup telegram group.

  • Which carbonated soft drink is the best?
  • I'm from India, Thums Up is my absolute favourite. Always loved it over coke and pepsi. During the 90's we'd a drink called goldspot, that was an amazing soft drink. It's sad coca cola company instead of continuing goldspot, launched fanta here instead, which honestly is a watered down version of the classic goldspot.

  • FearNoPeer (A private tracker) is open for signups
  • Had joined this a while ago, got few downloads while the global freeleech is going on. My only concern with these new trackers is content retention is dismal due to lenient seeding rules. Long term seeding should be made a priority for the tracker to thrive and succeed.

  • Which YouTuber still creates high-quality videos to this day?
  • MrMobile(Michael Fisher) - His video presentation skills 10/10, I specially love his series named when phones were fun, where he fondly talks about yesteryear phones and gadgets.

    Harald Baldr - I may not go to all the places he goes, but the way he interacts with different people irrespective of the barrier of communication is commendable. The way he presents himself in his videos, I believe that's him in real life as well. No fakery.

  • Comments not showing
  • So I was getting the same error, I think it started when I changed the comment sorting order from top to new in settings. Reverted it to sort from top and that apparently fixed it.

  • [POLL] Do you use/require a headphone jack on your phone?
  • I only buy phones with headphone jack. But the way things are going,these greedy manufacturers will sooner or later make it obsolete. Just like the new shitty trend of selling phone without charger in the box.

  • FOSS keyboard: Simple Keyboard by RKKR, swipe typing and AOSP looks.
  • oh I meant swipe to type, by the way I like the swipe to delete option, it's so convenient.

  • FOSS keyboard: Simple Keyboard by RKKR, swipe typing and AOSP looks.

    • Aegis (2fa)
    • Vlc
  • Who is your celebrity crush?
  • Milla Jovovich, I like Alice..

  • With how decent the browser UI is, what benefits are there by accessing Lemmy via an app?
  • I'm using Jerboa app for that reason. That webui bug is annoying, hope it is fixed soon.

  • preach
  • I'm amused at these statements these 'wannabe' pirates make to justify piracy. A smart person would pirate quietly without letting the world know or justifying it.

    I know why I do it & I don't want some validation, internet points, 2 minutes of fame to sound / look cool.
