That was the original idea behind Hulu.
But Netflix had a much better UX and ate their lunch.

I was an avid Usenet user, until torrents were invented.
I’ve never needed to go back.
When they start getting lawyers involved. That’s how you know when it genuinely leaked, and wasn’t part of the publicity plan.
My bookmark goes directly to the subscription page. I never see the home page algorithm
That article was far more clear than their own. “Joining Forces” as they called it, could mean almost anything. But “Acquiring” Standard Notes to add to their services actually explains what’s happening.
If it follows the SimpleLogin acquisition as they implied, it’ll still be a separately branded product that’s added to a Proton Ultimate subscription. So that’s cool.
Can you curb your sensitivity?
You used the wrong word. Maybe you didn’t know. That’s fine. We all do it occasionally. No harm.
Now that you know better, you could simply show some grace and humility by saying “Thank you”. Then everyone could move on.
Have a good one
Actual pirate ships were very democratic generally. When splitting the bounty, everyone got an equal share. Maybe 2 shares for the navigator and 1.5 for the captain. But that’s it.
So while they didn’t care much for non-pirates, they certainly treated each other fairly.
Nearly all the rules members need to follow (which can vary from one tracker to another) are about seeding enough. That’s the main universal thing. Not allowing people to “Hit and Run”. For a member to do that, it typically takes dedicating some substantial drive space and seed time. Far more than most people are willing/able to dedicate. This allows the tracker to curate a large library of high quality material. That’s the primary ideology.
Secondary to that, it has the added benefit of making sure everyone involved is “cool”. Cool as in, not a nark who’s going to get people sued and the site shut down. That used to be a big issue. I don’t know if it is now. I’m kind of out of touch with public torrent sites.
As to why we’re insufferable elitists? What do you want me to say? Rulers’ gonna rule.
It also downloads from Tidal
It’s not just a meta search. They do have their own index. And Brave is only one of a dozen-ish external index’s they also use.
That’s not always a good thing. If it was meant to be 4:3 the extra space on the frame can have set rigging, lights, microphone booms, and in case of stunts even crash pads.
It’s one of the reasons the HD rescan of Buffy:TVS sucks. That still needs a proper 4:3 HD remaster.
I’m pretty sure all user data is public already.
PMs might be the only thing not everyone can see.
I wouldn’t put a timeline to it. Just a list of features, broad and specific. As time goes on, they can be marked as “in progress” or “included”. New things can be added over time, or made more specific. All without timetables. For now call it a wishlist.
Granted, my memory isn’t great. But I think so. Maybe? I’m not sure any more.
Why is 2018 and 2021 skipped over?
There are a lot of things I don’t like about academia’s traditions.
Having references and sources is a must. Putting them on screen during a presentation is not.
The presentation is not the authoritative final version of the research for others to reference. It’s the quick entertaining version. It’s the advertisement for the paper. The paper needs the citations. The presentation just needs to entertain and entice. A presentation is a kind of performance. A one person play of sorts. Audience members don’t stop a play in the middle to check sources, or ask questions. Q&A comes after the presentation is finished. You can have a separate slide deck, of only charts and graphics with corresponding numbers that you hand out to the audience specifically for questions. But that’s not part of the presentation.
Or at least it should be that way.
I would push back on 7 and 8, and say footnotes shouldn’t be part of your slides at all. Those are for documentation and reference materials you hand out, not the slides during the presentation. Avoid any incentive to look at something other than the screen.
I would double down on 9. Presentation flow is absolutely number one. Looks don’t matter much at all. I only use simple black text on white backgrounds, inverting it for impact. Nothing fancier.
I just assumed 5 and 6. If you ever have to go back to a previous slide, I just thought you made a mistake and forgot something. Planing to do that is just kind of insane. And yeah, people with poor eyesight should be able to read it from standing against the back wall.
You’re still just thinking of how everyone currently uses them. Which I said was the wrong way. None of the uses you mentioned has anything to do with the presentation it’s self. You know, the part where you’re lecturing in front of a group of people. Knowing how to make a slide deck is all the difference in how useful they are.
What I suggested, flat out, can not be used for anything you said. You might have 70+ slides for a 10min presentation. But it works great during the presentation itself. (What it’s supposed to be for). My style guide works for emphasizing points, entertaining and maintaining attention, so people remember more and don’t need to reference as much later. It makes the actual presentation better. Not just something to replace notes or reference materials for later. If you’re designing your slide deck to actually hand out for people to read, it’ll be rubbish for the actual presentation.
You’re not alone.
On a good large screen, 1080p is a noticeable upgrade from 720p.
But the distance you’d have to sit at, to get much out of 2160p over 1080p, is just way too close.
However the High Dynamic Range that comes with 4K formats and releases IS a big difference.
On the other hand, storage is pretty cheep. A couple cents per GB really.
But you’re talking more about bandwidth, which can be expensive.
But yeah. You’re not alone.
