Routine updates. Until recently hardware was getting better at such a rate they'd upgrade before software became an issue. The power increase curve has mostly plateau'd over the past several years so the incentive to upgrade is significantly lower so people are keeping their older hardware for longer and suddenly seeing the problems. That and the average user is now getting more aware of security updates.

Both of which have proven to be lies by the likes of the Sony Xperia phones which still do nearly everything right. I say nearly because they're plagued with bad fingerprint sensors which is the only reason I had to stop using my 1 III.

And the same for the headphone jack. Getting rid of it just so they can force you to buy planned e-waste fast is less convenient and more expensive should be a crime.

Yes but that would take too much logic for Trump to realise what a bad claim it is.

Chucklefuck.

I just hope the devs behind BetterDiscord are quick to hop over.

Ahh yes, the ol' complete lack of nuance. A game isn't good so it has to be bad.

Seems the stupidity is contagious around these parts considering you go on to showcase situations of nuance. Engage brain please.

Downloads ≠ good

People are choosing to pirate them instead of pay for them and support the developer/publisher. 'Good enough to play for free' is also a statement.

That and a general lack of availability of manga in the west. English releases are often years behind the Japanese ones, if they get brought over at all. It's why there are so many translation groups.

Time to play whack-a-mole. And the moles are pissed.

Personally I'd say so but I could also see it getting taken under conspiracy to commit murder.

What on earth are you babbling? If the point you're trying to make is that cats, like other animals, can show traits of humanity, sure, I'll give you that. But if you're trying to spew that a scientifically identified species is a completely different scientifically identified species... well then, I just might know of a bridge that's become available for purchase in your area.

I think it just comes down to habit and wanting to keep things simple. The adage "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" exists for a reason, after all. I never even bothered going as far as to trying block the ads. They suddenly appeared for me one day but would never render, the panels just kept flashing at me. It might have been while looking up a fix - I can't remember - but it was around that time that I also heard about the undisclosed mining issue so I quickly jumped ship. Been happily using qbittorrent ever since and now wouldn't really be able to swap again thanks to finding a proper dark mode theme for it. So few others seem to have it and I have no idea what I'm doing with theme creation.

Any 'love' that wants you to give up your hobby is no love at all.

Which is the "only decent alternative"?

I honestly couldn't say how long. I know I was late to the party on knowing what was going on but even I moved on from it a long time ago now.

Then enjoy. It just isn't for a lot of people. You have helped as a statistic to the original question though.

Took long enough. uTorrent has been cancerous for a long time now.

It's not bad but it's pretty bare. A lot of people like their bells and whistles these days.

Edit: Changed the wording to be less broad for all the "But I..." specials.

Is libgen still going? I tried to get on .is a few days ago and have had nothing since. Have they possibly changed domain?
