Dude, just use filebot. Thank me whenever. Shit has been a life saver, especially as someone who is reluctant to fully embrace completely automated adding, especially anime, as I'm particular of how my dual audio rips should be. Though I guess I could just tell it to only pull from a specific release group. But then again it keeps grabbing like 5gb movies/eps and that's too big

Why the fuck would i buy a license to use something that sonarr handles 99% of, and the other 1% can be handled by asking a free clanker a question once in a blue moon?

Redditors are very stuck in their way when it comes to piracy, I find. I'm used to this site and won't use anything else ever in the universe. "My streaming site is down!". Okay? Boo-fuckin'-hoo, you have FMHY for a fucking reason dipshit.

It's a one time purchase of like $50.
Sure, if you are 100% committed to sonar, I get it.
but idk, I never trusted sonarr and radarr to do everything. I feel like I'd rather have personal control, though I've used it more.
But file bot has saved me so much time and the fact they don't charge monthly in the current landscape is awesome. Worth the money for me.
I have started using arrs for shows I'm trying to keep up weekly on more, so maybe it'll change, but it's paid for itself already.

I feel like I am too inclined to want to help people. At some point, I just need to learn to tell people if you want free shit, figure it out like I did. But I wish that those who didn't care enough to figure out a new place would stop fucking posting about it on the internet. Everyone became terminally online with smartphones becoming common and they all think their retarded dribble is important and everyone needs to hear it.

TorrentLeech has Live PD in 720p, I just haven't thought to check until now. Thanks for the invite offers, if things change and I get a few more TB of storage I'll come back and fish for invites elsewhere.

Thanks! If you got an invite, I'm not usually into doing the whole private tracker hoop jumps, but I'm in a few and I take pride in keeping my ratio high.
But if yall need something LMK. I see it as insurance if my drive ever dies I know I can bug someone to send me shit I lost lol.
 
Mr. Anderson said:
This doesn't sound like the reddit I know.
usually their less about sucking office dick and moreso sucking progressive dick.
Like don't get me wrong, you did the right thing. But usually they will vehemntly defend people doing stupid shit if it aligns with "yeah fuck your job," as if they were allergic to putting forth any real effort at work and instead think they are just owed more money.
Then again, I think reddit is more allergic to being sensical than anything else. They will take whatever stance is counter to the norm, unless it's counter to THEIR counter norm.
It's reddit logic, we shouldn't try to follow it.

They didn't realize they were saying it. This was more about feminists being assmad that a woman advocated for herself and got what she wanted because they can't take credit for it.

Any post asking for site recommendations is met with "read the master thread". You'll never get an actual recommendation. It's frustrating because the master thread and sites like FMHY can be rather daunting for someone just getting into piracy. There's just so much information to parse through. I'm still looking for a good XPrime replacement and am basically just going through a list of urls.

would stop fucking posting about it

I keep thinking of shit like this, where they openly and brazenly discuss piracy websites on TikTok or some shit. Simply because they're too fucking brainrottenly retarded to use torrenting clients.

To be as rude as possibly can be: it's not that difficult. You click on what you want, then click one of the links. What do you have a problem with? Why exactly XPrime?
 
Hakase Shinonome said:

Click to expand...
Because XPrime died and it's the site I used most. I prefer watching movies before torrenting them so I know how much of my hard drive I'm willing to sacrifice to a particular title. I've had more problems with playback on other sites than with XPrime. Poorly synced subtitles seems to be the most common issue and I kinda need those when quiet dialog is competing with my treadmill. Some sites do allow you to fiddle with the subtitles, but figuring out just how far out of sync they are gets frustrating.
 
We're witnessing first-hand the reason many well-intentioned pirates eventually throw up their hands and say "fuck it, fuck you, figure it the fuck out, JFC I'm sick of spoon-feeding you helpless whelps." Some people just cannot do things themselves until absolutely everyone stops hand-holding them.

I downloaded SpiderMan2:homecoming.mpeg.exe on a Russian BitTorrent website but all I got was a .torrent file. How can I get my file?
 
I can often sympathize with those who aren't that technically savvy to set up, let's say, a Linux computer. I can put myself in their shoes, see that it can be quite the hassle and overly complicated at times of need, whereas other operating systems would work just fine and do everything for them. I can see where problems and obstacles lie. - I can see people not understanding direct downloading, torrenting, private sites, indexing sites, github, et cetera.

I, however, cannot find myself thinking on how the fuck someone cannot pirate for themselves. You literally just look up 'anime streaming' on your shitty-ass Google search engine and click the first link. What kind of fucking moron do you have to be that you cannot comprehend to do this? You KNOW what Google is, you KNOW how to use Google, you KNOW what streaming is, how can you NOT KNOW how to fucking put one and one together and instead post a fucking comment on Reddit not even asking but demanding someone help you.

It’s even worse then that, they don’t know how to use Adblock.

I get you frustration. I also know the frustration of trying to find a streaming site that doesn't have the same handful of retarded issues that the last two you tried do. Maybe I just have shitty luck.

I'll start you off on one of the funnier stories, though there is a lot of funny in Police Ten 7 (especially episodes from the '00s). Neo-Nazi spends a quiet Sunday afternoon having a wank next to his front window with the curtains open:



The whole episode (which has more funny than just this part):

"WHUT DU I NEED AGAIN TO DOWNLOAD STUFF!? UHHHHHHH...."

That's like a lot of the posts I see on Reddit. I used to have been the guy that has gone around, telling people to stop helping these lemmings because if they can't understand the three letters - VPN, then they're a lost cause. But of course, I'm made to look like the bad guy on that shithole because I'm lecturing otherwise dumbshit children disguised as adults who bother asking such questions.

And I'd get dogpiled as if I'm the one who doesn't know what they're doing. Yeah, because for all of the 27 years I've pirated, I've not once gotten sued or dragged into a court room, I've only gotten one single ISP letter that amounted to nothing but a warning. Yeah I don't know what the fuck I'm doing all of that time. While I watch dipshit after dipshit whine and cry to everyone online about how they're getting legal threats and about what they should do.

I don't know, moron, go talk to ChatGPT about it.

Reddit changed after the deal with Google and it sucks ass now. You can't make Redditors happy. Everyone's mad all the time. The only worthwhile sub anymore is r/ouija.

Google strikes $60 million deal with Reddit, allowing search giant to train AI models on human posts​

February 23, 2024 / 12:35 PM EST / CBS/AP
Add CBS News on Google
Google has struck a deal with Reddit that allows the search giant to use posts from the online discussion site for training its artificial intelligence models and to improve services such as Google Search.

The arrangement, announced Thursday and valued at roughly $60 million, will also give Reddit access to Google AI models for improving its internal site search and other features. Reddit declined to comment or answer questions beyond its written statement about the deal.

Separately, the San Francisco-based company announced plans for its initial public offering Wednesday. In documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, Reddit said it reported net income of $18.5 million — its first profit in two years — in the October-December quarter on revenue of $249.8 million. The company said it aims to list its shares on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol RDDT.

The Google deal is a big step for Reddit, which relies on volunteer moderators to run its sprawling array of freewheeling topic-based discussions. Those moderators have publicly protested earlier Reddit decisions, most recently blacking out much of the site for days when Reddit announced plans to start charging many third-party apps for access to its content.


The data-sharing arrangement is also highly significant for Google which is hungry for access to human-written material it can use to train its AI models to improve their "understanding" of the world and thus their ability to provide relevant answers to questions in a conversational format.

It also sets a precedent for how tech companies go about obtaining data for their growing AI-models to feast on, even when it comes to content that is publicly available. A barrage of high-profile lawsuits were filed in a New York federal court in January testing the future of large language models like ChatGPT and other artificial intelligence products that ingest huge troves of copyrighted human works available online.

The arrangement with Google doesn't presage any sort of data-driven changes to how Reddit functions, according to an individual familiar with the matter. This person requested anonymity in order to speak freely during the SEC-enforced "quiet period" that precedes an IPO. Unlike social media sites such as TikTok, Facebook and YouTube, Reddit does not use algorithmic processes that try to guess what users will be most interested in seeing next. Instead, users simply search for the discussion forums they're interested in and can then dive into ongoing conversations or start new ones.

The individual also noted that the agreement requires Google to comply with Reddit's user terms and privacy policy, which also differ in some ways from other social media. For instance, when Reddit users delete their posts or other content, the site deletes it everywhere, with no ghostly remnants lingering in unexpected locations. Reddit partners such as Google are required to do likewise in order "to respect the choices that users make on Reddit," the individual said.

Google praised Reddit in a news release, calling it a repository for "an incredible breadth of authentic, human conversations and experiences" and stressing that the search giant primarily aims "to make it even easier for people to benefit from that useful information."

Google played down its interest in using Reddit data to train its AI systems, instead emphasizing how it will make it "even easier" for users to access Reddit information, such as product recommendations and travel advice, by funneling it through Google products.

It described this process as "more content-forward displays of Reddit information" that aim to benefit both Google's tools and to make it easier for people to participate on Reddit.

Halt on Gemini AI-image tool​

Among those tools is Google's artificial intelligence chatbot, Gemini.

Google on Thursday said it is suspending its Gemini chatbot from generating images of people a day after apologizing for "inaccuracies" in historical depictions it was creating.

Gemini users this week posted screenshots on social media of historically White-dominated scenes with racially diverse characters they say the chatbot generated, leading critics to raise questions about whether the company is overcorrecting for the risk of racial bias in its AI model.

"We're already working to address recent issues with Gemini's image generation feature," Google said in a post on the social media platform X. "While we do this, we're going to pause the image generation of people and will re-release an improved version soon."

TL;DR Google cut a deal with Reddit that gives them access to all of Reddit's data for AI-training purposes.

We all know how much Redditards love AI
