25 is hex for % so it somehow url encodes it again

Works for me on both Jerboa and the web interface. Maybe it's an issue with your client?

It's not really nonsense if it's clear to pretty much everyone what is meant. Nobody expects real bacon to come from a plant.

I meant more like where would you get these data from? I guess the most precise would be to actually seed a bunch of torrents to different ratios and then test retrievability after X months.

Is it possible to obtain stats what seed ratio you need to get to on average for a torrent not to die?

this is true if you manually delete the txt file.

however, just unchecking it in the client doesn't result in a broken seeder - at least transmission-gtk 4 will write the "file.txt" even if you didn't check its box, or transmission will create a (sparse) "file.txt.part" file if there's additional pieces to the "file.txt" that you didn't download.

I would expect other clients to behave similarly.

maybe the goal is instead to try to get ahead of regulation by implementing a system that is easily bypassed by most kids (like these video based age estimations). Then they can show this to the regulator and be like: "look were already doing everything we can, no need to actually put the regulation in place".

I mean it's just a cheap PR ploy anyway. Companies are not your friends. They are just as much dependent on payment processors like Mastercard as Steam and Itch. They probably just don't matter enough to get notice.

You can disable showing adult games from the store in the store preferences.

This setting is apparently disabled by default, so at some point you enabled it.

Valve locks game libraries?

OP is. This is just a remix of a popular meme.
