I’m not a fan of torrenting and haven’t bothered with them in like, geez, I think 16 some odd years. I like DDLs and I like more convenient options. I don’t want to bother being an easy target, I don’t want to mess with protocols, timing and any other hassle just to torrent. I am done with those days.

How does one use this yt-dlp I’ve heard about?

Because my assumption immediately was it was for YouTube, but I quickly searched it to find it can support ‘thousands’ of websites.

tidals starting to heavily crack down on monochrome.

And yet, people keep fucking recommending to use Tidal as a Spotify alternative. Fuck that app. 30 second songs until you pay can go to hell.

A good AI is when you use it as a tool, which by all accounts, is what it is at the end of the day.

A bad AI is when it is used to violate copyrights and be treated as a solve-all solution to problems where AI wouldn’t be needed in at all.

Wrestlemania XIX

It was a near-perfect Wrestlemania that had a variety of matches. The only things I felt that this event could’ve gone without was the Miller Girls cat fight and maybe Undertaker vs Big Show/A-Train (could’ve given Undertaker a better opponent). The Brock Lesnar botch of course is what a lot of people tie this WM to which is something I wish didn’t happen.

Otherwise, you had Stone Cold vs Rock III (where nobody knew at the time that it would be Stone Cold’s retirement), Vince vs Hulk Hogan (at the time it was a good build), Lesnar vs Angle and HBK vs Y2J are some of the highlights of the event.

Yes, you’d be right and I don’t like anyone who boasts, gloats and brags about their pirating activities. We’re all pirating for a varied assortment of reasons, personal or spite or logical, but it comes down to the fact that we’re getting stuff for free and saves us tons of money. So, we all should universally be in glee about that alone. However, being louder about it, increases risks and chances of our sources being taken from us before we know it.

A lot of great sources of pirating has been taken from us over the past 5 years, sources we’d never thought would be taken down (before anyone says The Pirate Bay, that site has long lost its purpose, its symbolism now.) Sometimes it isn’t because people were loud, it is just because of the network of government bodies being in bed with entertainment industries and law enforcement that are really throwing everything at the wall to take down piracy in general.

But sometimes, they wouldn’t have targeted anything if the loud-mouths would shut up.
