Correctly highlight when a programmer is being assumptive as a brick, even when assumptions are one of the biggest sins in programming. Done, you’ve triggered a lot of programmers.

The meaning kind of clicked to me the first time I’ve seen the word and tried to pronounce it - it ended as [ẽ.'ʒĩ 'ʃis], the first part is close enough to English [ˈɛnd͡ʒɪn] ⟨engine⟩ that the association was obvious. ([ʃis] is just the Portuguese name for ⟨X⟩.)

I know that URL.

If we (people in general) do it, we’re being filthy thieves and the reason why everything is bad. But when it’s a megacorpo, it’s suddenly a-OK?

Screw this shit. Information should be like the air, free for everyone. Not free for the GAFAM chaste and paid for us untouchables.

Thanks!

1. It’s morally good when people access information, culture, and entertainment.
2. It’s morally good when the author of a work gets rewarded by their work.

Piracy is morally justified when 1 is a more pressing matter than 2. As such, it’s justified in situations like this:

• If, in the absence of piracy, the pirate would still not pay for the goods - because #2 is set up to zero (the author of the work is not rewarded anyway).
• If it’s impossible to obtain the goods without piracy. For example, abandonware.
• If the author of the work would get breadcrumbs of the money used to access legally the goods, and the pirate compensates the author directly (e.g. donation).

I ended picking Miru (from another comment) up to watch anime, so I won’t automatise the system - I’ll use the RSS just to warn me when there are new episodes. That said, this extension (to allow transmission to download from rss) plus this site (to sift the RSS feed, so you don’t download e.g. individual episodes alongside batches) could help.

I liked it. I really liked it.

It got a .deb version, not just appimage. Installed without issues.

The interface is clean, and I could easily find series that I enjoy, both on- and off-season. (Tested with DanMachi V and Hikaru no Go). For neither it felt like I was watching it from torrents, there was no stuttering at all.

I use MAL instead of AL, but importing the list was easy enough. It’s less one thing to do, great - now I don’t need to update the anime list manually!

Going to test this later, thank you!

I just tested this now. This is brilliant, thank you for the idea! I wasn’t even aware that the torrent site could generate RSS for search queries!

For now I’m simply following those RSS feeds through liferea, but later on I might even automate it further.

Like others I’ve seen been torrenting my episodes instead, but man… I miss the convenience.

Don’t get me wrong - torrents are great, but for me they’re the best when I want to binge watch a complete series and/or keep it indefinitely. I’m typically following ~10 series/season = episodes/week; I need to find the series in a certain torrent site, then download it, watch it, seed it… it’s a bit of a bother, you know.

Additional opinion: piracy is always morally good if the reason for your piracy is inability to buy something. That includes when the item is delisted, as in the OP, but also when you can’t afford it.

[I agree with the OP by the way. Specificities should be ironed out, but in spirit it would be a good law.]

It got to be Goat Simulator for sure:

• Top notch graphics.
• Full of features, even some not intended by the developers.
• You can hurt and get hurt, so it’s BDSM-friendly.
• Open sandbox.
• It’s more recognisable than Tetris. Tetris is easy to confuse with some Tetris knock-off, Goat Simulator is instantly “yup, this is Goat Simulator”.
• It’s deeper in lore and philosophy than Chrono Trigger.
• Zelda’s worldbuilding pales in comparison with Goat Simulator’s.
• Requires more strategy than Diablo and FFA combined.
• You play it as a goat dammit. Everything else is just fluff.

If by “a little toxicity” you mean a little bit of aggressiveness, sarcasm, etc., I agree with you. It depends a lot on the community though - in some, allowing it will be counter-productive.

If however you mean harassment and hate speech, as the author of the text, I strongly disagree. If the mod doesn’t curb down those things, they might not be “lording” over the discourse, but other users are - because

• users shut each other up through harassment
• hate speech silences whole groups, as they leave the community

Another detail is that you don’t need to control the discourse to curb down harassment, since it’s only behavioural and not discursive in nature.

So IMO when it comes to those two things the problem is not overzealous mods, but dumb ones not doing due diligence, who are a bit too eager to falsely accuse their own users to be voicing hate speech or harassing each other when it is not the case.

[Sorry for the wall of text.]

You’re reading too much into my “look it up”. It was basically “I’m not wasting my time with your rhetorical question”.

I’m aware of what you’re explaining (semantic drift + polysemy), however neither is relevant here.

Wtf is “hate speech”?

Look it up.

To call hate speech and harassment “toxicity” downplays both issues.

Optimists cause more harm than good.
