Hmmm I never had a problem finding what I want with public sources. Maybe my tastes in media are not refined enough.

There is no incentive but I also seed everything I download until at least ratio 2 but mostly without a cap especially obscure stuff.

I also like to not even use public trackers instead relying solely on the mighty distributed hash table (DHT) to find peers.

I never understood why people prefer private trackers.

The hero we need

Hmmm. Maybe I should try that then. Never actually understood why people like these managers as I was always satisfied with the directory tree for organization.

Well maybe besides music. There beets fucking rocks. But in the end I use it also only to sort music into a directory structure.

What’s wrong with just folders and file names?

Can you get apocalypse insurance? I think I’m in the market for it.

No, no, no. It’s the end of times. I can hear the trumpets of the apocalypse.

Now Valve needs to release half life 3 and the world as we know it will truly perish.

Jokes aside. I hope this means work on a UI overhaul can seriously begin.

Yes, this maximal decentralized usage where everybody has their own copy but can collaborate and pick and choose from other copies was a central idea in the creation of git. Ultimately it was made for Linux Kernel development and that is how that works over there.

You do not even need to use git specific protocols. One can simply import patch sets and mail them to each other.

Git was made to work decentralized and repositories are trivial to mirror.

Some? I think there are more people doing such things than ever. It’s just that the growth of that community is overshadowed by the normies.

People always underestimate advertising. That is what I think is actually holding Lemmy back.

With good ads people would learn how to sign up fast. It’s not like it is harder than email.

No. Mod tools in general need a lot of improvement afaik

Why do you say it’s obvious that the English wiki “has nothing”?

There is a reason for that. PDFs de facto “standard” is complex and documentation is sparse. PDFs were also designed to be static and uneditable which makes a lot of simple edits more complex to implement than people think.
