I’m not paying for Telegram and I haven’t noticed missing out anywhere because of it. I’m using the APK file instead of the Play Store version because the latter censors Russian media channels (and I hate censorship). I wasn’t even aware there were premium accounts.
I’m in 2 dozen channels, have a few friends who mainly use Telegram instead of the competitors and I haven’t noticed a single issue, except for their homegrown encryption scheme.
People are too brainwashed for that. The companies got their billions and people won’t be ready to accept that they complied and took the vaccines that are now slowly surfacing auto immune diseases and cancers in like every 10th or so person.
(I got the vaccines and I’m fighting to improve my immune system every day and instead of listening, mods banned me from another community just to speak of my experience.)

I know this is a joke/meme, but I sincerely think of the Roman Empire a surprising amount of times. I find myself obsessing over how Roman citizens were living just as complex lives as we are today, or about Marcus Aurelius’ life and philosophy, or about how the Republic fell and became a totalitarian state.
Is anyone using the minio-operator? I’m hesitant because I can’t find a lot of documentation on how to recover from cluster outages or partial disk failures.

If I had to do it all over again, I’d skip the shots and rely on my immune system. Something definitely wasn’t right with these shots, in my view.
There have been sane scientific reports about impurities and traces of foreign DNA being found in samples of the vaccines from all vendors and a study implying that two shots caused cancers in mice (www.frontiersin.org/journals/…/fonc.2023.1158124) doesn’t inspire confidence either. I know all the “fact checks” around the topic, no need to link me to it. They’re all written by people with no medical expertise.
The entire reporting about the pandemic was (in my opinion) highly unscientific, excluded critical voices (real doctors, not some snake oil salespeople) and came basically down to “just have faith in the science” and I feel terribly stupid for having participated in the sharade (not implying the entire pandemic was fake, but the way it was handled) and I hated myself for quite some time for having given into the pressure instead of listening to my intuition.
These vaccines definitely screwed with my health. My heart didn’t perform as well for about a year (confirmed by a doctor), I felt fatigued despite having been active and fit despite the lockdowns (also confirmed by a doctor), I definitely had some issues with blood flow/clotting and my lymphatic system is definitely still trying to get rid of something.
I’m not giving health advice here but please be aware that even if we accept the official number of 1/10000 likelihood of the vaccines having severe side effects (and I don’t think that’s true anymore based just on observations in my family and social circles, like women having screwed up periods, several miscarriages of otherwise healthy women, sudden appearances of cancer in people under 50) - if you’re the 1, it’ll fuck you up and no one will give damn. After talking to a few people who now can no longer work after having taken the shots, prepare for massive gaslighting, especially from doctors. Don’t trust in whatever is left of social security systems to care about you. They’ve all been told they’re imagining things or that they just had a genetic predisposition and would’ve had these issues even without the shots.
My trust in the medical establishment is at an all time low. And now they’re planning on dumping mRNA into everything, like animal vaccines and crops. This doesn’t seem right. I have a real bad feeling about this.
I’ll accept the risk if getting COVID from now on.
I was never anti vaccines, btw. But there’s been so much suspicious shit going on around this whole topic that my trust “in (capitalist) science” is in shambles. Just the appearance of “sudden adult death syndrome” right after the vaccinations started was highly suspicious and should’ve warranted at least a pause of the vaccinations. At the very least, I’ll have to assume that it was more important for people to get back to work as quick as possible and to “return to normal” was a terrible driving force behind the way of this pandemic was handled.
I’m sure people will come at me for all of this. I’m not (alt) right, I’m not anti science, but I worry that the rushed rollout of these shots was a big mistake. That doesn’t mean that the extreme anti vaxxers were right either.
Edit: Not to mention how my girlfriend’s migraines have increased severely and that her Astrazeneca and Moderna batches are known for having headaches as a side effect according to VAERS.
To the first 2 downvotes: Thanks for proving my point.
Billionaires also pledged to fund rebuilding Notre Dame in France and no one paid anything. Almost no one actually paid and it seems the press doesn’t care to see if anything has been paid since 2019: cbsnews.com/…/notre-dame-fire-update-big-donors-d…

Around 2010 there was this “pledge” where a website people basically collected a list of things they’d require in order to stop pirating tv shows and movies and I think it came down to:
Provide easy access to large library Provide multi language support, must offer original language Allow downloads/offline viewing Be reasonably priced
Plus some additional stuff I can’t remember.
When Netflix got big, they basically covered it all. Then everyone wanted a piece of the pie.
It’s basically a Torrent tracker as a service with a web interface to directly stream your torrents in your browser or to a Chromecast, Apple TV and whatever.
You pay for the amount of storage you want, then you select whatever torrents you want to download, either via a browser extension or services like chill.institute that look through common torrent search engines for you and give the opportunity to download instantly to your put.io account. You’re completely in charge of your library and put.io won’t show you anything you didn’t download yourself.
I don’t know, perhaps I’m not getting the question.
It’s basically a streaming service with a library that you fill yourself. It doesn’t matter if you use a laptop, app or streaming dongle to watch the content. I’d say that it’s easier to watch content if you already own a dongle like a Chromecast though.
