Copyright. If you say "You can find X at Y" US copyright has gotten so out of control even linking is infringement like hosting, even via magnet link. The megathread is pretty old and doesn't even have old things that are still useful like the saved google searches, so your point is apt... Have you tried watchsomuch or OG piratebay? Piratebay has more old shit still with seeds than you might think.

Let me know when a model can consistently parse semantic negation consistently.

In 2020, the DNC struck a devil's bargain to ally themselves with the corporate media and social media platforms over their own activist base. This led to the media doing massive coverage of what was, other than the women's march, not particularly impressive "resistance." Now that the corporate media and social media have realized that the DNC is so dysfunctional and unable to do any institutional accountability for poor performance, it is unlikely we will see them in power for decades (ala the GOP for most of the 20th century) they switched sides and allied themselves with the GOP, so their incentive is to just not cover protest at all to suppress dissent and please their new allies on the MAGA right.

Oh, there are sooo many options now, I'm sure many gaming handhelds are 100% up to date Pixel-level. I was just saying as per existing inventory in the world, if you just pick up something random... it gonna have KitKat potentially...

Yeah, I mean, there are other ways, like STube on Android, which I think is a one man band but is always faster, but it's not even so much about even just watching, Freetube is a great overall management experience for keeping track sans Google like nothing else with history and export et al across all platforms basically. I'm constantly impressed by them.

An ironic instance of Trump's "no such thing as bad publicity" philosophy in action

Good, fuck Micro$oft. Organic Maps is great and deserves better.

I think OP is referencing new "retro" handhelds that run Android (although I bet a lot run KitKat or something insane, so no modern encryption/https)

Yes! The Freetube team are real heroes, and really keep up with the cat and mouse of it all at S-tier on all fronts, including even getting updates into flathub promptly, which not every project is good about.

Pika Backup does backups. For testing Windows, you'll want to run a VM, QEMU is best for that (There's a KDE wrapper I forget the name of for it with a better GUI) but you can probably do some level of testing running your app with Wine. You can run Excel with Wine (also the Office365 web Excel runs in browser)
