I jumped into Usenet as an experiment and, once it was setup, it was ok. Although it is definitely not simple to get started and it seems you are constantly having to pay for stuff, even to access the trackers, which don’t even have all the content!

I decided I didn’t download enough and what I wanted was too hard to find, so I went back to Torrents. Way simpler for my occasional use.

Is SpaceX failing?

But what about Bowie? Why his name being dragged through the mud

Thanks. I did check Trash guides before posting but it doesn’t cover installation, much less Linux user naming and groups, unless I missed it.

That makes sense. Thank you so much. That is a question that has caused me issues for a long time. Now I understand it.

Which parts of Europe is that?

Is it Germany where you can only buy shnitzel, sausage and cabbage in various different forms?

Or Italy, where they’re so proud of their food it’s basically illegal to serve anything that isn’t Italian?

Or France where spice and chilli is outlawed, only garlic and herbs allowed?

It’s true that a lot of traditional British food is bland, but there are way more Chinese, Indian, Thai, mexican, Italian restaurants in any town in England than you’ll find anywhere in Europe.

Thanks, great reply.

I’m not willing to give up just yet. So I’ll try a block account from a different provider and see how it fares.

I’m just trying the scene out, but so far I’m put off by having to pay for both indexers and providers, and now I need multiple of both to get what I thought was basic content (a film about a boy wizard).

Maybe it’s a different problem causing my downloads to not even start, but the help page suggests DMCA as likely cause.

Wherever next?

Where did everyone go? I thought Lemmy was the new hangout but it still seems so small, even popular posts are only getting a handful of comments?

Arghh, two conflicting replies. What do we do?!!

You’re making a serious claim about war crimes at a level comparable to the SS. My question was, where are you getting this information from. It would be useful to counter some of the pro Israel media bias we see otherwise.

Behaving like Waffen SS

Genuine question; how do you know that? Is there an alternative news outlet that focuses on the Gazan perspective (without the equally bad hyperbole they also seem prone to).

And killing the last of the dragons and stuff

Don’t know why everyone is so triggered on this thread. It’s a joke meme, sure. No, it doesn’t mean EVERYONE visiting is after a Thai bride, but come on… There is quite a bit of truth behind this too… Last time I was in Thailand, there were a lot of old white guys with girls on their 20s that would raise eyebrows in the US.

Yep definitely this. I was surprised that all the craft ales are like 10%! And there are lots of them!

Spanish?

Are you a morning person because you’ve just always had that routine? I’m not a morning person, but pretty sure it’s because society is designed to keep me awake until late at night and I’ve just fallen into that cycle. But I’m curious how other people resist it.
