It’s cool, you’re sleepy. We get it
Yeah, I mean I use them with Bazarr, so I don’t deal with their UI, it’s all automated. I’m not saying they’re convenient, but it is public and widely used, so if your goal is your subtitles helping others, it’s a good option.
I mean, opensubtitles still works fine
It’s also real scary to think since I’d assume most of us Gen Z-ers aren’t properly able to object to privacy eroding tech bills because we’re too tech illiterate to understand the impacts.
Millennial here, putting my tinfoil hat on for a minute:
This is exactly what the big tech corpos wanted all along. They’ve been curving the arc of history towards people at large being digitally dependent but incapable of self-service. They want addicts, not citizens. Serfs, not an educated populace.
In the 70s, 80s, 90s, and into the early 00s there was this “hacker culture” which was centered on the idea that as long as we keep our wits about us we could use computers as a great equalizer. The common person was empowered. Any and all software would be distributed for free so anyone who couldn’t afford it could get it. Bill Gates was painted as a villain because he was overtly capitalistic. The corpos were kept in check by a diverse, rapidly evolving market and a ton of savvy users who knew what they wanted.
Giant corporations pretty much caught on that they needed there to be fewer tech savvy people who could get one over on them. When politicians needed to ask experts what to include in school curriculums, guess who had lobbyists ready to go? Microsoft and Apple. Eventually Google too.
And now that there are fewer tech savvy people? Everything got shittier. Shinier, faster, dumber, more locked down and shittier. And the enshittification is just going to accelerate until people straight up reject it, then it’ll pause for 6 months to a year and start up again.
No, I was genuinely guessing at what you were getting at, since you were alluding to one particular unnamed nation that relies heavily on slave labor. IDK if you opened that article, but it’s from last month and is a major report by the AP, so US slave labor’s been on my mind because I read the news.
You then seemingly got annoyed at my guess and decided it was some sort of debate. I pointed out why my guess was reasonable and now you’re trying to take a victory lap because I apparently annoyed you by not being a goddamn mind reader.
Seriously, you’re acting like I’m the one with the attitude here and all I’ve done is reflect yours back to you in one comment because you acted like I don’t know what slavery is. But I’m the one being an asshole?
Hard to say for certain, per a recent AP report, privacy laws protect the info of which private companies specifically are using prison labor at any given time in several states.
Seriously though, check out that article. Wild.
Have you read the 13th amendment? Prisoners in the US are legally allowed to be used for slave labor. That’s what I thought you were referencing
… the US?
Sidebar: that’s why the Penumbra games have excellent VR support now, for those interested in shitting their pants.
I think most people would agree with you but would call it “the economy” since they can’t imagine a non-capitalist economy.
Or vote farther left in the primaries, dragging the dems left kicking and screaming
I’m not sure the US has the greatest track record when it comes to those sorts of occupational wars, realistically. I think the only times we’ve ever really seen it turn out well is maybe in vietnam, where we actively just like, lost the entire war and got sent packing, and they’re still having to deal with the ongoing problem of their country being contaminated by chemical incendiary weapons that produce larger percentages of birth defects.
Not disputing anything you said about Vietnam, but we did alright with Japan and South Korea.
I totally agree. There are exceptions to every rule, but random people on the internet who you aren’t being paid to solve the problem for by a very large majority would benefit more from education than having their problem solved for them.
Teach a man to fish and all that.
Fortunately our sun isn’t big enough to go supernova. It’d just go nova. But also, the iron in a few thousand people’s blood probably isn’t enough to get down to the center of the sun within the timescale humans are likely to exist on.
But it is helping effectively.
It’s less efficient to learn how to do something than to have somebody who knows how do it for you, but it’s more effective to learn for yourself. Hard won knowledge is rarely lost.

Agreed. It’s also worth noting that '97 is basically an uncensored version of the OG, so like in the old show Wolverine never gets to knife anyone who bleeds with his claws. In '97 he can
I know the movies have been in a slump, but X-Men '97 has been like a 9.5/10
I use unpackerr combined with sonarr/radarr and it definitely covers 1 and 2
