theres a nice division of customers waving their genitals around about the beneficies of their favourite streaming/library/w/e service about the quality and service, but they're all petty-bourgeois fuck-ups gotten to compete and identify with their consumed products. this is such a non-proletarian thing to discuss about. whether its about digital management rights or quality-of-service shit, i just dont give a fuck. rutracker grant me 24kbps oggs in the name of stallman or whatever

well considering the debacles with the bitcoin mining algorithm secretly running in some torrent tracker (was it piratebay), you can't really give too much credit to their incorruptibliness since hosting trackers etc. decentralized network costs real hard currency to hold. i feel a lot about these "free" trackers that i about your basic dot-com bubble company that's draining money, to gain money. waiting for the moment to monetize the critical mass.

that's cool but maybe meet the people where they are?? it is super duper you've transcended such base concerns as relaxation after your 8. everybody's watching netflix and it is a common ground for discussion, and people would rather not have a new bill to pay, or hours and hours of ads to inject

don't think i said trackers were incorruptible, i said their cost is sum of local storage amortized over the life of storage, as long as bandwidth's all you can eat



im poor as hell leeching on someone else's netflix and due to my interests ive been stuck with wholly petit-bourgeois community around me, so i dont really see whats your point on that matter; not doing ``mass line'' if you will and following my conclusions from what i see. the proletariat around me do mostly torrent or whoever happens to be the most well-off share their netflix account around to others. these bills are not the priority number one for anyone really since all they want is just an easy way to view series they'd rather see.

and trust me, im wholly into the whole hacker culture if it even exists in the sense it once did, but you need to analyze the class consiouscness behind the people running these trackers etc. and see that its not a proletarian-run thing at all. id rather see the birth of austro-marxist idea of communal sports, theater. call me luddite if you wish, but thats not what im after, im talking about more independece from internet-run, and most of all internet-companys' dictated policies that comes with the whole deal of handling anything related tcp/ip. haven't you ever hold a i.e postfix+dovecot server for example and seen the reaction from ISPs

E: addendum what im trying to say these things are going through internet service providers and other costs (energy etc.) so you have more people willing to cut your service, even though you were incorruptible to a degree. internet is monetized and commodized to a whole new degree so it owns the most to the imperialist agenda on what to uphold and what to not.

regarding the class character of networks and piracy; the history of the internet in romania is an interesting case. prior to broadband being widely available there were adhoc firesharing networks created between neighbors, then streets and eventually whole neighborhoods through which a huge variety of pirated content / warez were communally shared.

when commercial broadband was finally introduced the speeds were no competition to that of local pirate networks, as such companies had to invest so heavily into broadband infrastructure that romania still boasts one of the fastest average internet speeds in europe.

do you think my only friend in this world soulseek will remain pure and unsullied


soulseek is the greatest. it's seen oink and the like come and go and its still the only place to find a lot of amazing stuff. i actually stream a lot of music these days because i use a family apple music account and its really convenient but theres so much stuff i cant listen to there so i keep an old ipod running too and occasionally load it up with a bunch of new stuff i get trawling soulseek. i have sometimes thought about the cost/practicality of setting up my own private music streaming server, it would actually be pretty easy to set up and cheaper than a legit apple/spotify account, but the problem is client side, theres no good app like a plex-but-just-for-music that i could have on my phone, and even if there was it wouldnt integrate so nicely with the phone os. convenience is a pretty big draw card.

as for movies/TV its all about pirate streams in kodi these days, private torrent sites for less popular stuff. once you get used to kodi its not even worth stealing netflix. i pay a few bucks a month for pirate iptv too, mostly for watching the occasional Spoarts game but it also has a few days worth of catchup recordings for most of the US/UK channels so theres always something to watch if you just want to put some crap on. i like old game shows personally.

imo this conversation worked a lot better in its original context which was talking about how uber has a black hole business model that forced its drivers to propel themselves rapidly through the historical development of capitalism and create their own taxi company. highly recommended underdog faily lobster thread by Chthonic_Goat_666 that is probably the best thing on this site atm

i went there because of this thread and 1) found some obscure stuff I have wanted for years; 2) was non-consensually indoctrinated into a secret anti-illuminati society. A++ would recommend.

ah the days of music blogs / rapidshare etc. excellent for all kinds of obscure releases, vinyl/tape rips that you'd never find elsewhere, or even have know to look for.

It's dumb there isn't a free nationalized streaming service of every movie and album ever made before 2003 or whatever. There's no reason anyone should have to pay for The Godfather or Pet Sounds or whatever, that stuff belongs to us, we've paid enough for it. Copyright law is dumb

you must mean andy breckmann, he spells it with an extra n

Andy: He reminds in a way, he reminds me of your co-host sitting here for a lot of years before I got here, two weeks ago, you know, Andy Breckmann. You know he spelled it differently: B-R-E-C-K-M-A-N-N, he had the two "N"s at the end.

Ken: Oh yeah!

Andy: He had the masturbatorium thing going, he was crazy.

Ken: Oh, he was like a five times a day guy!

Andy: Yeah, but I don't know what became of him. He's not anyone I would hire on my Netflix staff. I'd be afraid,

Ken: Oh yeah! He made child molestation jokes. He made rape jokes.

Andy: Yeah, I don't know where he got off.

Ken: We had to get rid of him.

Andy: You know, I've heard some of the tapes, and I have to say, don't take this wrong, I think you would enable him quite a bit, but you would laugh at him, you would goad him on.

Ken: I did everything I could to stop him.

Andy: That's not how I hear it. I think you loved getting him in deeper and deeper water. You loved provoking him.

Ken: Well, the tapes are all there. Check'em out.

Andy: *lowered voice* please, please erase some of them.
