There is no such thing as a line, it seems to be a long gradient and its about how fast you move on the gradient. If you ever so slightly introduce more and more crap slowly enough, people don't care as they forget how good they had it much earlier.

You had to change trackers and clients, so yeah, that's pretty much the same for torrenting as changing your go to site for streaming.

But you are right about Soulseek, that never changed, which is amazing.

Well, they already did that not too long ago. So seeing them do this is more like "well, the sequel didn't work, what else can we do to milk this even more?"

Is there a plan to show all of them in this anniversary? Because the first one on its own is not quite enough, I feel. It opens the story of the movies that follow.

Data is stored in a log file, which is why I wondered if someone already made a solution that just parses that and presents it as graphs. Couldn't find that myself but seems like it does not exist.

I get your point and it was an emergency option to at some point take time and do it myself, sure. But that is not what I asked, not even sure when I have the time to do this.

Language has always changed and evolved. It feels sad to lose something but other than documenting a "dead language" or dialect, not sure anything else can be done. You can force yourself to learn it if it is close to your language but then you also have to use it, or it will vanish again.

I remember reading about this Welsh PhD or Master student, I think it was for Chemistry. They were the first student ever to do the whole studying completely in Welsh. Including the thesis. They had to invent new words for scientific terms since they didn't exist, I think they worked together with some association for Welsh language or something. But all of that will be gone if no one else is picking it up and in the sense of science it is also not a great decision because now you limit who can understand your work to the Welsh speaking community. Since you invented new words, maybe even those won't get what you wrote.

My point of rambling, I am not sure you can do anything about changing languages. They are meant to be used or not. So while it feels like a sad thing to lose some languages, it should not because its just how languages work. Not sure that makes sense to say...
