It’s basically like a room full of people with USB sticks. If you are just taking all of their USB sticks to download data off of, but you don’t put your data back on the USB sticks to share them with others, you’ll get kicked out of the part for being a jerk. It’s the same with torrents.
They are not the classic client-server thing that the web usually is. There isn’t a big server you are downloading from, it’s just other people that are seeding the torrent. So it’s common courtesy to do the same to allow more people to download it.
That’s the beauty of torrents. With servers, you just have to tell the owner to take the file down. With torrents, you’ll have to find every person that currently has the file and seeds it to take it fully offline. So yes, this exposes you to some risks. If you are downloading pirated content and live in a country where these laws are enforced, you’ll want to use a VPN to torrent. But with seeding, you’re giving back to the community that you’re taking from.
I’m looking forward to InZoi and Paralives!
Well, my sibling lives in another country and I can’t share my library with them because arbitrary restriction. Yay.
Fun fact: I was tying to be a jerk here! Sometimes it’s just nice to be a bit of an asshole on the internet. Don’t take it personally though. I’m sure you’ve done the same to someone in the past before. It’s just a fact of life. Sorry 🤷♂️
Excuse me, I use Arch and Firefox with uBlock.
Oh yes, they are. Every content creator that’s still on Twitter for some reason complains about how engagement is way down. Many are considering leaving Twitter, if they haven’t already. Of course, some groups still remain for now, but it’s just a matter of time until everyone who isn’t a full on Nazi has left that pile of garbage.
Yeah I was gonna say, felt like a deja vu. Didn’t The Zuck™️ try something similar?
It’s not like there’s just one AI out there. You’ll find one that’s free, if you actually want to. Be it ChatGPT, Bing, something you run locally on your PC or whatever. Or, you know, just use a VPN or say you’re from the US in the registration form.
