I reckon if you showed the picture of the giraffe to a human and asked what’s wrong with it, many people wouldn’t notice anything “off” about its coat.
The only multiplayer game I really play is Team Fortress 2. I learnt the mechanics over a decade ago and I understand it. My reflexes aren’t amazing, but I “get it”. I can’t be bothered to learn any new multiplayer game mechanics, so when I want to get online and play a shooter I go for TF2.
Coop games are another matter, but yeah, TF2. My desire to play it comes and goes, but it’s always there waiting for me.
Music-wise: Radio stations “oh but the radio sucks” yeah but online radio stations don’t. They don’t have any ads. Start with NTS 1 and 2 and go from there. Last.fm browsing USER pages. RYM user pages. Online music guides written by real people. Recommendations from friends- real people.
Video-wise: I honestly don’t watch youtubers. Their output and quality isn’t up to snuff. No I don’t care about speedruns, about “internet rabbit holes” about any of that. About people restoring old gear. About basically anything. So I watch actual TV shows and actual movies, and you guessed it, I get those recommendations from REAL PEOPLE.
I deleted my original comment cos I felt it was a little negative but somehow that didn’t propagate across the fediverse… weird!
I take steps to prevent algorithms from dictating what I listen to and watch. Algorithmically-decided culture feels utterly wrong to me.
I know you’re asking about transmission, but… Qbittorrent has an option in the GUI that allows you to specify what network interface it uses to communicate through. Therefore if your VPN isn’t up, it won’t use your normal network. And if your VPN drops out, it also won’t use your normal network. Just another option in case you’re interested.
I’ve been looking for Spongebob in Latino spanish for ages
Spotify algorithm pushes artists that pay them to push them to you. Get your recommendations via more organic means if you can. That means blogs, real people. Screw the spotify recommendation slop (and I say this as someone who has spotify premium.)
