A lot of the shows I watch aren't popular to torrent. Infinity Train got taken down by Cartoon Network, and now it only exists for pirates. So pirates need to seed it so it can continue to exist in any form. Same for Generator Rex. I wanted to watch The Flying Nun, but it ran out of seeds and can't be watched anymore. If a single leech downloads a show on the brink like Generator Rex, it could end up like The Flying Nun. Gone forever. I'm not worried about these popular new releases like Invincible or Loki, I'm worried about media preservation.

We are on a sublemmy devoted to a 20 year old movie. People still watch LOTR.

Torrenting is a technology where a network of ordinary people share a file in tiny pieces all together. There's no central server, you connect to one, ten, or a hundred other computers who each give you part of the file.

Torrenting only works if people are uploading the file as well as downloading it. Giving a file to others is called seeding, and taking a file from others without giving back is called leeching. Most people are peers, who take the same amount they give. Ideally, everyone would be a peer, but since some people are leeches, we also need seeders.

I'm not familiar with this stremio app, but if it does what I think it does, then it takes from the network without giving back and it can now pretend to be a different client to sneak onto the network. If enough stremio users watch a show, it'll become unavailable to other pirates.

Some of these websites are so simple that publishing an article takes as much effort as posting a Lemmy comment. There used to be a difference, but there isn't anymore.

I don't think every article ever published is read by the whole world. I think most of them are read by about as many people as the average Lemmy post

The law is a sham and it doesn't deserve anyone's respect.

Well, I think it's funny. I appreciate an author who has style and passion, it keeps me invested. It's not like anyone's opinion of the lord of the rings matters, so I couldn't possibly be offended no matter what I thought of the movies.

I sought treatment, and most of the pwNPD I know have sought treatment. The primary barriers to actually getting treatment are cost, and lack of trained psychologists. Insurance doesn't cover personality disorders and therapists don't know how to help us, other than giving generalised PTSD and cPTSD treatment such as schema therapy.

Yes, gender identity is that simple. Watch this:

I'm a drone, use it/its pronouns for me

She tried to out Fitgirl as trans to encourage harassment of her. Trouble is nobody believed her, because nobody knows anything about Fitgirl and we don't believe Empress does either.
