With respect OP, blow it out your ass. Think twice before posting paywalled material or at least kindly run it through a cleaner (the source can be gleaned by including the original URL). Alternately you could spend a few moments pasting important sections in the post body.
My question is: what's the point of sharing folders in a p2p program and denying access to these folders?
I've asked many of them, including one who wanted not only a vinyl for a vinyl but one with an equivalent number of tracks. They never answer me, because they never arrived at their absurd position using reason to begin with. They fundamentally misunderstand p2p filesharing, in that they believe it's a zero-sum game.
Your best attack: polite annoyance. Ping them when you see them. Hi x. I want to download from you. My files are available - Soulseek is for sharing. Please give me access, even if it's temporary/capped transfer. It would be great to see more people use private chat to wear them down and call out poor behavior. Even if they block you, that's still a bit of overhead they're having to contend with.
Your best defense: modeling the behavior you want to see. Traders are still very much a minority. Keep online over the long term, keep your shares available, and they'll stay that way.
Yo OP, this isn't piracy related
Whether contributions are sent business to business by way of a privately agreed scheme, or distributed by governments from tax revenue, reporting independence is surely obliterated.
The Nazi bar idea is bullshit.
I haven't been able to make an encode (SVT-AV1) from source that doesn't obliterate the grain and texture. The output is watchable but everything looks plastic. There is a parameter for grain but I found it fairly crude.
I'm convinced Adobe's acquisition activity is driven primarily by elimination of alternatives to the SaaS subscription model, as opposed to revenue growth. Adobe is okay with viable competition, but they are not okay with viable competition that offers an alternate payment and delivery model that doesn't view the customer as an open wallet. That's when the polonium tea comes out, because letting that run spells industry exodus.
It makes me wonder what the US DOJ/FTC/relevant regulator thinks. Perhaps they don't care at all because (unlike Adobe's userbase) we realize this sector is as un-vital as it gets. The Stockholm syndrome on display is sad nevertheless.
If the employee is frequently on sick leave and is required to produce paper, that's a trust issue. But if the manager can't recall when the employee was last ill yet still demands one, then they've shown they cannot distinguish trust from compliance.
This one's always displeased me. Triangle Face levels of displeasure.
My card issuer shouldn't get to help itself to the profiling data, and the service shouldn't get to lose my info in the data breach.
What is the total airport traffic over the same time? I'm interested in getting a sense of the likelihood of a search request.
In any event I'd buy a post office POS for the purpose and use an inflammatory password. Cuck those funts. Call it part of the cost of travel.
