Same! Yes! I specifically remember one my (then) girlfriend (now wife) made like that. She made me a mix of some songs. I put them on my mp3 player so they had that slip in them on that too. Even on my first smart phone too back before I streamed music.

If only I were in Canada 😭 so free it hurts here in the US

If it was a popular torrent with a lot of seeders, it was probably still working but you never got selected. Could also happen when it was the opposite. If there was like three seeders and no peers, when you finish you’re just sitting there with the other folks with no one to seed to.

I downloaded Rammstein’s Amerika but it was like just one specific verse and chorus repeated. It was really weird. It took my a while to notice because I didn’t know German. My best guess is someone took a free sample of the song from somewhere and edited it so it was longer by repeating it a couple times.

Also, a few of the Nightwish songs I downloaded had an announcer in the middle of the bridge say something like “You are listening to Nightwish’s new song Blah on the album Once.” Maybe it said something about being able to buy it on iTunes. That one was interesting because it definitely seemed legit. I guess some artists released stuff like that knowing people would steal regardless so they wanted a version with instructions to buy it if you liked it. To this day when I’m listening to those songs I hear the voice in my head when the song gets to those parts.

I hear if you torrent you get a nastygram from your ISP. Meanwhile, I hear if you find a site that offers to stream it for free, nothing bad happens. Also I hear that Yandex gives better results for such sites than Google or DDG/Bing.

I have been on macOS at work since December of 2019. Before that it was Windows since 2014. If I had the choice for Linux I might take it over macOS, but I’d happily take either over Windows.

True!

Maybe it’s rust? Or the ugliest, worst shade of blue with gold marbling.

Yes. Go tell Wikipedia that I won’t open a textbook.

Open a textbook: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Guide_to_requests_for_adminship

Tell them, not me.

Go tell Wikipedia about that, not me. It’s a community you can join. You very clearly feel very strongly about it. Talking to me about it isn’t going to change anything.

Wowww. Insisting that they’re good at math. I distinctly remember learning that RPN doesn’t need parentheses in college.

reverse Polish calculators do not need expressions to be parenthesized

But, you know, anyone can edit Wikipedia. Someone probably put that there who hasn’t opened a math textbook.

They seem to believe that and on the 8th day God made the one true objective order of operations that all humans use and agree on.

It’s funny that you define “ignore” as “not doing what you tell someone to” because by that definition you’ve been ignoring me too. Go edit the article if you feel this strongly.

I haven’t ignored anything you said. I’m telling you that if you have a problem with those that you should contact them to fix them.

Go tell Berkeley I did that.

I did read everything you said and I do know how to do math. I hope you are able to enact the change you want to see in Wikipedia and the article. Good luck.

Tell them, not me.

I cannot stress this enough. If you have a problem with that, contact the author or Berkeley, not me.
