They don't. Only shitty trackers. Every tracker I use has zero ads. A thing called private trackers exist. Every good torrent site has zero ads.
If you can't get in a private tracker and don't want ads, usenet is better than public trackers anyways.
Private trackers >/= usenet > public trackers
LTT is and always has been cringe. Linus is not even very technically knowledgeable, he’s just an entertainer.
Of course he didn’t. He can’t read
Lmao the crypto bros on reddit are talking about how amazing this is - fucking morons lmao
I've had mine set up since launch and it works great. got certain types of sites/browsing dedicated to certain containers, along with cookie autodelete (it respects containers so can have settings per container) to delete cookies unless i whitelist a site.
For those asking “private trackers what’s that?”
/r/trackers (on the bad site I know) has a lot of info
For those who may be interested in getting into private trackers, you should start with Myanonamouse.net in my opinion. They do an interview on the irc which is easy and you can join that way https://www.myanonamouse.net/inviteapp.php
It is a tracker for ebooks/audiobooks/comics that is easy to maintain a ratio on (via their generous bonus point system) as long as you are a decent seeder.
Once you’re on the site for a few months you can access the invite forum which can get you access to other private trackers. Think of it like a ladder.
Torrentleech (a general private tracker) occasionally has open signups throughout the year.
This meme is dumb. There are more options than just the web ui and sync, most are free.
Awesome! Loving the app ecosystem on Lemmy. Choices for all!
If you use brave or any chromium browser you’re both an idiot and part of the problem.
Anytime someone proudly says they use brave, I know they’re an idiot and not credible on anything tech related
Elon the "Tech bruh" left a period in front of twitter so the redirect is broken - lmfao you can't make this shit up.
Replacing a notable, at this point ingrained part of modern internet culture, to the letter "X" LMAO. Elon just doing whatever to stay in the headlines.
yeah this has got me second guessing hosting my own instance as well.
