Dredd. Karl Urban absolutely nailed that role, and all without ever showing the top half of his face.

I'll be blunt: the fact that they're opposing it makes me even more supportive of it.

I'll take "Streisand Effect" for $2000, Alex.

Ironically enough, you actually have to pay the US Government to renounce your citizenship. The base fee is $2,350, but the application process is so lengthy and complex the total cost can run up into the $20k range. Oh, and you're still obligated to pay taxes and subject to the draft.

This just feels like a repeat of Rural Electrification: yeah it's expensive and not immediately profitable, but we're at the point where it's necessary to be a part of modern society.

It's become harder to get clean(ish) audio captures for theater films, but it's not impossible. There are still theaters with hearing impaired seating and headphone hookups, still a few drive-in theaters that broadcast via FM (one of those here in Reno, actually).

If anything, I think it's because digital rips/DLs seem to come out more quickly. By the time a group has tracked down a clean audio stream and takes the time to sync it with footage, someone's probably snagged a digital copy and released it.

Now Telecines, those are basically unseen these days. Almost no theaters still use actual film, and the few that do are way more careful about their inventory management. Gone are the days when a whole film can just get "misplaced" for a few days while someone with a Telecine setup copies it, to say nothing of how few people have the setup for Telecine anymore in the first place.

Elon: Let the free market decide.

Free Market: *decides*

Elon: Wait, no, not like that

Yarr harr fiddle-dee-dee!

There's only one price I'm willing to pay for content with ads, and that's zero.

I was listening to a Jim Gaffigan bit he wrote during the first Trump admin which is even more true these days. Short version, he compares having Trump as President to having a parent who's a raging alcoholic: what he does isn't directly your fault but you still know you should apologize.

Guessing they used Sonarr, Radarr, qBittorrent, maybe an NZB client....

Would you look at that, I'm sophisticated now.

Even the porn creators and erotic artists have left.

When you've lost the porn it's game over man.

Having bittorrent traffic set to low priority while being online and doing other things can lead to that, especially someone seeding multiple things at once.

Also depending on where they are or how they're connecting their ISP could be throttling them.

What's the Venn Diagram of "childhood pyromaniacs" and "Linux users" look like?

Damn Leftists. They ruined Leftism!

Weird Al still wholesome after all these years.

The future of piracy is going to be running your own LLM with all the corpo-mandated guardrails disabled.

This is my headcanon and I cannot be convinced otherwise.

A VM is going to incur a pretty big performance loss. From what I've read, Soulframe works just fine with Proton. Either Lutris or the Linux Steam client should work for running it.
