I got back into torrenting media and using plex because of all this nonsense. I'm not watching ads on a paid service and I'm not subscribing to 6 services at a time just because every company wants their own Network+ service. I'm also not going to pay more because you decided to add ads to an existing "tier".

Then I learned through lemmy about real-debrid and stremio/torrentio and decided to try that. Now I've got the equivalent to these services for much less cost and the only difference is before I press play on an episode or movie, I just choose the cached torrent. No ads, don't even need the space on a hard drive, good quality, and almost everything is immediately available.

I'm not sure what we're referring to when we say pay back the debts, but as far as a societal collapse due to constant population growth - is that not just the basis of nature? If resources become scarce, population will decline since you can't provide for everyone's needs at that point. If resources are plenty, population can grow. I don't see how a decline in population leads to societal collapse. Some countries are facing declining populations now, for other reasons, and they're not collapsing. It's a potential problem that would need to be faced, but collapse seems extreme to me.

If you care enough too you should submit it as a bug (if you haven't). It's for sure not a dead project.

I'm a follower, I don't post, reply, like, or anything. I just want to see what the people I follow have to say, and they haven't moved anywhere else.

also not a fan of my search results being logged against me

What do you mean? That you have an account so your searches are "linked" to you?

Out of context you're right, but most of the time when you open a weather app you'll get a more detailed view where you can see, in this example, that 29 is the high and 16 is the low for the day with 13 being the current temperature. Once you look at that one time you would know what these numbers are in this shortened view.

Did you post this just to fight with everyone?
