just another anarchist
I’m not paying for Telegram and I haven’t noticed missing out anywhere because of it. I’m using the APK file instead of the Play Store version because the latter censors Russian media channels (and I hate censorship). I wasn’t even aware there were premium accounts.
I’m in 2 dozen channels, have a few friends who mainly use Telegram instead of the competitors and I haven’t noticed a single issue, except for their homegrown encryption scheme.

Agreed, Porkbun are great.
So you’re completely uninformed and yet chime in with your opinion? The danger is real and this isn’t a reporting issue.
Who trains ChatGPT biases? Humans.
Yeah, unless your computer is permanently hooked up to the TV, then it’s probably irrelevant. :)
I don’t know, perhaps I’m not getting the question.
It’s basically a streaming service with a library that you fill yourself. It doesn’t matter if you use a laptop, app or streaming dongle to watch the content. I’d say that it’s easier to watch content if you already own a dongle like a Chromecast though.
You pay for the amount of storage you want, then you select whatever torrents you want to download, either via a browser extension or services like chill.institute that look through common torrent search engines for you and give the opportunity to download instantly to your put.io account. You’re completely in charge of your library and put.io won’t show you anything you didn’t download yourself.
It’s basically a Torrent tracker as a service with a web interface to directly stream your torrents in your browser or to a Chromecast, Apple TV and whatever.
Around 2010 there was this “pledge” where a website people basically collected a list of things they’d require in order to stop pirating tv shows and movies and I think it came down to:
Provide easy access to large library Provide multi language support, must offer original language Allow downloads/offline viewing Be reasonably priced
Plus some additional stuff I can’t remember.
When Netflix got big, they basically covered it all. Then everyone wanted a piece of the pie.
Back to piracy then. 15$ for put.io ✨🙏
Not being forced to use Windows or having to hope that Ubuntu works, battery life, raw SoC performance, good keyboards (after they fixed the duds from 2016-2020), best trackpads in town, good quality apps, native Unix shell?
I was really looking into buying the Framework laptop but apart from that, everything seemed to be more or less crap (for my use cases) if you don’t want to deal with Thinkpads.
The put.io Google/Android TV app is pretty decent, as long as you don’t have to reencode content.
Yeah, they’re the VHS of video calling software.
Who said that? Ignore what he and Zuckerberg are taking about regarding this fake PR fight that’s never going to happen.
Of course everyone should be critical of what these people are doing but don’t jump through their deceptive hoops but actually do some digging into what they’re all up to, who they do deals with, who they meet outside of the public eye.
They’re not going to advertise the interesting shady stuff via their Twitter fights.
Come on, man.
I think this is a lazy take to keep on posting about their artificial drama.
Let me throw my seedbox into the ring. :)
I remember how maglev was supposed to be the future when I was growing up but most European projects went way over budget and were eventually scrapped so I’m really happy to see that the Chinese finished this thing and that it actually works and delivers in terms of speed.
This feels so much more futuristic than boring tunnels.
You don’t have to convert to mobi anymore. The Kindle backend supports epub for a couple of months already. I’ve also read reports that Kindle’s can now convert ePub by themselves if you copy ePub files via cable but I haven’t verified that myself.
Can confirm, though it’s unlikely to be some piracy check. The epub just has a couple of errors that might make it difficult for Amazon’s server-side epub parsing implemention:

Unfortunately I couldn’t find any other epub versions. Though I just discovered the Kindle ePub fix project and converted the ePub to a fixed version using the en
language tag. That seems to work because the book just showed up in my Kindle library. :)
