In general, yeah. Private torrent trackers tend to focus on specific types of content. Some might focus on cartoons. Some might focus on anime. Some focus on books. Some focus on video games. Public trackers, on the other hand, generally focus on everything, which, of course, means they won’t have a lot of the older or more niche stuff, and they might be lacking in one or more categories (music, anime, books, TV, etc.).

It’s also much less likely that a torrent on a private tracker will die because most private trackers enforce certain rules about seeding and because the people there are generally much more into seeding than most people on a public tracker. (Probably most people on public trackers simply download what they need and stop before seeding anything back.)

Private trackers are also typically the first (and sometimes only) places to get scene releases. Scene releases, which are done by private groups, are usually higher quality than stuff on public trackers. Sometimes, they leak onto a public tracker, but not usually.

Eh, Aniwave was a pretty big one for the anime community. From what I understand, it’s the one most people fled to after KissAnime was taken down. Aside from that, I’ve never heard of any of the other sites they mentioned.

Me waiting for the next “mothership” to pop up so I can use it:

Aniwave (formerly known as 9anime) was, from what I understand, the site most people fled to after KissAnime bit the dust.

Ah, ok, so it was a mechanical failure, not a software glitch.

except for the two times it got stuck in a boot loop until the battery died.

Did the emergency shut-off (holding down the volume down and power buttons at the same time) not work?

Now where’s that comic…

Ah, found it!

I just call them communities. That’s what I’ve seen others use.

FYI, there was no “conversation so far”. That was the first thing I’ve ever asked “Rufus”.

The Green Party is a thing in America.

Republican and Democrat are the two biggest parties by a large margin, but a few other smaller parties exist. Plus, some people run as an Independent. They’re not affiliated with any party at all.

Edit: I never meant to imply the other parties had any chance at winning an election in a meaningful way, which is what these replies seem to think I was saying. (They don’t have a chance, honestly.) But other parties do exist, including a party in which you can “vote green”. That is all I’m saying.

I’m curious if they still have the most downvoted comment on Reddit.

Edit: Yep.

I’m not quite that young. Netizen is a “citizen of the internet”, IIRC. More specifically, it’s a portmanteau of “internet” and “citizen”.

I had also heard what the meaning of GIF was, though not so often that I could remember it off the top of my head.

I’m not quite as old as the JPG format, but I do still remember using dial-up. I still remember accidentally logging into the internet when my dad was on the phone one day. I could hear his voice through the computer speakers. I immediately closed the browser. It was something that’d, surprisingly, never happened while I was on the computer before.

Yeah, but it’s almost always used for animations. Seeing one that’s not animated just feels… weird.

That’s… a great question. What’s the purpose of a gif with only one frame?

Yes, but 99% (give or take) of Android users won’t know or care how to install 3rd party apps. So most people would only care about the Google Play Store limitation.

That’s for manually installing apps, I believe. But developers on Google Play have to follow this.

I think you meant to reply to this comment.
