Private tracker and seed requirements is the reason that comes to mind for me. Back when I was on a private tracker some 20 years ago I would get the torrent file and the actual data from a friend so I could seed it without having downloaded it.
Do these 3rd party apps let you get rid of Shorts? I absolutely despise accidentally clicking on Shorts and would prefer if they actually stayed in the Shorts section so this doesn’t happen on my Home feed.
Thick as molasses… But not in the good way.
Do you know how much a library membership costs where you are? Are you unable to rent movies at your public library? BitTorrent covers the majority of my needs but when I can’t find that older movie online I can usually find it at my public library.
When you rip your own you get to control the quality, which I think is the best part, but I suppose if you needed to rip 100s of movies a year it would become a chore. The thing is that the majority of new movies and TV can easily be found on BitTorrent, so I would only need to rent and rip a few obscure or older films in a year, and those could probably be found at the library.
Paying for a piracy service kind of defeats the purpose for me. At $100 per year I would rather rent the movies and rip them myself.
I will never stop seeding the Gnome Mobile as long as I can help it!
Another related question. Is the creator of Lemmy also the creator of torrents-csv? I ask because their dockerhub page hosts torrents-csv images as well as the lemmy one.
