I didn't mind your opinion, but now I have to downvote anyway. An opinion this uninformed doesn't have any right to exist. Minecraft was the sole reason for the current generation of Java devs, it's literally the Statue of Liberty of the United Javates, the first thing those poor huddled masses saw before landing in the New World.

Why shouldn't you go the forest at noon?
That's when the ripe elephants fall from the trees.

Why does the alligator have such a flat nose?
Because he went to the forest at noon.

Bonus points if you space them out a bit with unrelated jokes.

Oh shit, I forgot I had flux turned on, so I was like "that's an old fashioned brown, but not too garish". There's a lot of blue in that brown...

Nah, plenty of cult classics failed when they came out, but would be impossible to create at the time they became popular. So if you have an artistic vision and an opportunity to realize it, it doesn't matter if the masses are ready for it, you should go for it. If the goal was creating a musical with Lady Gaga and Joaquin Phoenix, the time was now and the result is at least interesting enough to be culturally viable. We'll have to check in 20 years to see if it has any staying power as a cult classic.

Yeah, it's still invite-only afaik, but there's no limit on the number of people you can invite, so I found someone in a public discord server who accepted all friend requests and sent out bulk invites. (For anyone else still looking.) I'll send you a PM with my friend code and get you an invite.

I am here for one reason and one reason alone: source anime is Watamote, episode 12 @18:36

Tomoko tries to approach a girl, but the wind confuses her and she runs away in embarrassment, even though the girl was really friendly and would have liked to talk to her.

In the meme, this scene is used to parallel the feeling of an external system blocking an operation that both participants would agree to.

A similar feeling could be memed with the "myth of consensual sex" format.

I really felt like all the good stuff was only on private trackers the last few years. A few of the biggest public trackers also went down, that certainly didn't help, but even before that I had a hard time finding some older, rarer things. If piracy gets bigger, I hope to see more reliable public trackers again with bigger catalogues.

You know that's not how people are filling their servers, right? Plex is a way to manage and stream your pirated media collection, though Plex will never admit that.

I don't know what the difference is between downloading and sharing libraries, but check out Soulseek. It's a little file-sharing program that lets others download directly from your music folder and vice versa. When I couldn't find an album on any torrent tracker, some hero on Soulseek had it. The main drawback compared to torrents is that you're limited to the upload speed of this one person, you can't connect to a dozen people with the same files and combine their power.

Spotify is providing a much better service than radio and it needs the internet to function, but it also isn't as cheap as a radio broadcast. Don't judge the entire service by the free plan, which probably shouldn't have existed in the first place. But that's how most services attract their users these days, just burn money until you lock in enough people to start monetizing.

I'm on a family plan with a few others and it costs a few euros a month for each of us. Lets you download music too, so cell service isn't even required. I've never had an ad; people complain about sponsored recommendations, but Spotify is "pushing" tiny Japanese indie bands with less than 500 monthly listeners on me. All my Daily Mixes are similar deep cuts. I find it hard to believe anyone is sponsoring those and no way radio would ever have played any of these, unless it's a short-distance pirate broadcaster in the home town of these indie bands.
