Anything that isn't mp3. I'm actually stunned people still use that codec. Willingly. AAC is just far superior. ALAC/FLAC for lossless can get quite large. Then there's the gorilla in the room: do most of these songs even get resampled properly when a new format is released? Atmos is all the rage but a lot of songs from the past that are now available in the codec sound off because the separation of instruments and sound is so far away from the original.

Your current system probably sounds like music from 1998, muddled and drowning in bass.

Orrr. Or. Orrr. Hear me out. That's what they'll eventually sell it as, but what's actually going to happen is people who don't have like 10y behind them will pay more because they'll be deemed "high risk."

This is sort of where I draw the line on ethical piracy. Some countries and people go to great lengths to prohibit the viewing or listening of their movies, shows and songs. Whatever. It's your right I guess. I just don't get it personally. To be so restrictive for something is now free. The work was done, so now it's just about enjoyment and quality of life.

As a basic human being, I think we should all want to make life better. For us. For everyone.

So along those lines, if you're blacklisting my country because some guy didn't get what he wanted or whatever government level bullshit you peddle, then yeah, time to unfurl my Jolly Roger!

I've been using it since Tomato died. Transmission chokes on torrents with lots of trackers that fail to connect. If you go in and remove them, its performance and responsive improves greatly.

Outside of those small things, it's solid and a universal app.

You have hundreds of dreams a night. You only remember the last one. And since time dilates while dreaming, you really have almost no concept of it at that point, so you come to believe that’s the dream you’ve had all night. But you’ve had countless.

And the reason you don’t remember them all is because they have no impact, like remembering what you had to eat for dinner, 3 weeks ago. Just your brain doing housekeeping.

I’d soon as rather inhabit the body of a turkey with leukaemia than Musk thanks

Their claims cannot be verified. So no, you can’t “trust” them on anything more than their claims. Which can’t be validated. So…
