The thing with piracy is there are always so many duplicates. For every piece of media, there may be a hundred different torrents for it with varying popularity. People might be obtaining Future Boy Conan from a torrent different from the one you’re seeding.

It’s been a blast to see the death of the internet as fraudsters pollute the world with books they hope to make a quick buck on and which they did not write themselves. Real fun. /s

KDE’s Plasma Desktop has a web search plugin that I use all the time. Typing the Win (Super) key followed by
wp:Sistine Chapeland then the Enter key brings me straight to the Wikipedia entry on the Sistine Chapel.imdb:Jurassic Parkbrings me to the IMDb page for Jurassic Park.yt:will search YouTube, and so on. There are around 200 keywords pre-programmed into it, including for searching programming language documentation. Unlike the Windows feature displayed here, it doesn’t use the network unless you specify a prefix and it accesses only the service you specify by the keyword. Whoever added this feature had to do so very little work compared to the payoff. It just takes the part after the colon and inserts it into a search URL for the corresponding service and opens that URL in the browser. It’s very convenient. None of this web search stuff comes up when you’re just searching for apps and there are no surprises.
I wanted to watch Well-Founded Fear (2000) on immigration in the US. As far as I can tell, you can only get it by purchase on Vimeo. $12 to rent. $150 to buy. It’s too obscure to have a torrent.
