Whirlybird,

Because it’s fantastic? Because it has almost all the music out there? Because it has an app on every device under the sun? Because it has amazing artist discovery? Because it lets you know of upcoming shows in your area?

Why wouldn’t you use Spotify if you’re a music fan? I’ve got 200gb+ of music on my NAS that I use Plexamp to listen to but I still subscribe to and use Spotify more.

Whirlybird,

This has no resemblance to anything companies like blizzard and ea do.

Finding mainstream media on usenet - am I doing it wrong? angielski

Hey crew! I often run into the issue that I can’t find usenet entries for reasonably mainstream stuff. Example: “and just like that”, a quite recent, mainstream-ish tv series. Second season is super available (dropped this year), first one has massive health problems and a lot of missing episodes. The first season is from...

Whirlybird,

Recent stuff from big networks is more likely to get DMCA’d regularly than older stuff. As long as you add it in to sonarr you should get it eventually, but yeh unless you get it at release it can be a bit tough sometimes.

Anonfiles is shutting down (anonfiles.com) angielski

After trying endlessly for two years to run a file sharing site with user anonymity we have been tired of handling the extreme volumes of people abusing it and the headaches it has created for us. Maybe it is hard to understand but after tens of million uploads and many petabytes later all work of handling abuse was automated...

Whirlybird,

Can’t say I’m surprised that a file sharing site that advertises complete anonymity was being used to spread illegal and I’m guessing disgusting things.

I’m surprised that anyone thought it was a good idea though.

Whirlybird,

That’s why it’s not a good idea though, because complete anonymity is of course going to be a calling card for the worst of the worst illegal content.

    This monopoly stuff has to end.

    Microsoft aren’t a monopoly, especially in gaming. Even buying ABK they won’t be even remotely close to a monopoly.

    Whirlybird,

    Exactly. Sony have spent years leveraging their market leading position to further put them in the lead via paying to keep content and games off Xbox. Their market position is their strength and they leverage it. Microsoft’s strength is their financial power, and they’re now finally leveraging it. Sony need to be pulled back to the pack and pulled in line with their anti-consumer practices. The more market share and dominance they get the worse they get for consumers, as they’ve shown many times.

    Whirlybird,

    The same execs that bought the company already half way through development of Starfield, and rather than delivering anything new or of value, only wanted to make sure it was extinguished on other systems?

    Sony were reportedly in talks to purchase full exclusivity of Starfield, so can’t blame MS.

    Whirlybird,

    We want a more competitive landscape. Sony trouncing the competition isn’t the way to a good and healthy industry. This “consolidation” only harms people that refuse to buy an xbox or a pc or use game streaming services…so basically only people that will only buy a Playstation.

    Whirlybird,

    Microsoft are the best option by far.

    Sony wouldn’t, and shouldn’t, be allowed to buy them even if they could afford them. They’re the market leader and we know they would make everything exclusive straight away.

    The only other options are companies like Embracer, Tencent, Amazon, or Apple. None of them would be good. Microsoft are basically going to maintain the status quo, while opening up the games to more people on more services.

    Whirlybird,

    At least 10 years, likely never. Just like how Minecraft is still multiplatform on every device under the sun, COD/Diablo/etc will be too because that’s what their strength is - huge userbases.

    Whirlybird,

    Even when Microsoft specifically said as much people chose to ignore it.

    Microsoft want to build a mobile game ecosystem. King gets them a huge start to that plan.

    Whirlybird,

    It was one of the reasons why they bought zenimax, so there was clearly enough evidence for Microsoft to spend $8bil.
