For my less tech savvy friends/family I just have a bot in Discord that can do requests to sonarr/radarr https://github.com/kiranshila/Doplarr
Other options can be using something like tailscale and giving them the web access to sonarr/radarr

You know my story isn't very different from yours.
As a teenager I massively pirated everything, became an adult with a paying job streaming was sensible so I paid for Netflix/Spotify eventually adding in Prime video + the occasional thing like P+/disney+ or whatever flavour of the month I wanted to watch.
Then earlier this year I realised I was paying for 6 different movie/tv streaming subs and when I went on holiday none of the services I had worked properly and I couldn't continue watching the show I had been watching at night before bed and I just went nah fuck this. Blew about 2 grand on a Mac Mini m2 and a ton of hard drives and just went full on Arr stack + usenet + plex lifetime.
It isn't even about the fucking money anymore it's just how inconvenient they make everything, I've had enough and I don't think I'm ever going back.
The nostalgia this brings me when I look at these pages and they are just straight to the point.
Sometimes I miss the old internet and web pages.
I feel the same way, but as others have said commenting is also participation
I think they are trying to come up with an exit strategy to another platform. The more they put this off and delay and delay the less likely they are to gain any traction of users to move, if anything I think it's just an excuse to not move as you said later.
In reality, it’s just an excuse to put off the inevitable. They really don’t want to rebuild, so it’s all or nothing and a tough thing to let go.
Truth is they don't want to leave reddit and most moderators had their bluff called about the situation. I'm not saying they're power hungry or spez was right but they don't want to leave because it's too difficult for them to start over and build communities or they don't have the skills to do it. Some might dislike the lack of prestige as well who knows. However, they're sticking around clearly because they don't want to leave and deep down inside they have hope that something will change and they will go back to the old normal, some will come to accept the new normal and change their minds.
I've personally been down this route before where I invested thousands of man hours into communities but sometimes you just need to know it's time to move on close up shop and do something else, I just don't think most of the people who moderate on Reddit have the stomach for it.
Colour me surprised that Mr Musk and lowering moderating standards would lower advertising revenue.
I really don’t care about the content of the article, I’m calling out the user specifically based on all his contributions.
Which is arguably worse if I'm honest, at least debate or discuss the content of the article and whether it's genuine or not. Trying to discredit the article simply because you don't like the source is just crap.
Whether or not the poster is garbage and yes i'm fully aware of their post history it doesn't change the content of the article.
We already know that the west is corrupt, just as is the east.
It's not like it's news to anyone that politicians are corrupt, if anyone doubts that I can look to my own country the UK and see all the things the Tory party have done in power the last 13 years.
Yeah Captain Marvel as a film just felt so flat.
All the nostalgia beats didn't stick and Brie Larson while probably a very good actor just felt like her humour didn't land because the way they wrote the character doesn't seem to fit with her as a person or the way she portrayed the character.
I don't think it was just a better director needed I feel like Brie was miscast in the role at least if they wanted to write her in the way they did but that's my opinion on it.
Can you explain why that matters if the story is legitimate?
https://www.opendemocracy.net/ is generally a very trustworthy source so are you implying the story is also false?
Yeah it's very sad that suddenly it just all got retconned for the sake of it, at least they could have explained it away as they tried to find places and it turned into a warzone type situation and they had to come back to earth where it's safe.
To be honest Captain Marvel as a character is someone they shouldn't have added to the mcu because any story she is apart of and she doesn't solve makes no sense.
She's basically Superman of the MCU how can she not find them a home and make them safe?
I think if they really wanted to make her a thing they shouldn't have done it as a prequel, prequels never end up well.
You can get plenty of older shows on Usenet it's not like you won't find something like Star Trek from the 60's. Hell I recently started downloading V from 1984 so...
