    Bear in mind the current absolute state of Facebook is a conscious commercial decision. Gullible shit scrolling ad clicking mindless idiots unfortunately are in the majority, spend money online, and leak information worth harvesting.

    Utter state of the internet 2023… Should have stopped at usenet.

            Usenet is fucking HUGE for downloading uhhhh Linux ISOs. It’s perfect for *arr applications automating movies, music, and shows right to yer server the day of release.
