    Can locales of languages with alternate spellings be added? (i.e. English - United States, English - United Kingdom, etc.)

    Option to put thread comment box above existing comments?

    As scrolling to the bottom of the page to leave a comment can be a hassle on posts with lots of existing comments, an option to put the thread comment box above existing comments would be helpful. If people are going to migrate to Kbin or Lemmy from Reddit, given the substantial downsides in doing so for the average Reddit user when comparing community user counts, minimizing differences — or at least giving users the option to do so themselves — might be helpful. While I wouldn't rejoin Reddit even if there weren't any alternatives, it would certainly be great if the alternatives had even a tenth the number of active communities Reddit still has. To that effect, it would also helpful if there were a toggle to automatically upvote one's own posts and comments.

    Too many posts weren't federating with kbin so I had to make a lemmy account to avoid missing comments from non-kbin communities, so hopefully the federation issues get fixed at some point.

    The people using Reddit for its data have the easiest time scraping it for its data since they don't need API access to post, comment, or moderate; it's unfortunate that Reddit management continues to degrade the experience of the average user just to make it slightly harder for that scraping to occur.

    Isn't the current TPB distinct from the original; made to look the same, but run by different people?

    While most space games admittedly only overlap somewhat in the context of space dogfight battles, from what I've read the player is able to fly the ship between planets, space stations, asteroid fields, etc? Bit too FPS-focused and not enough economic-focused for my liking in contrast to Freelancer, but the games seem to at least share that in common.

    I'm always on the lookout for more games like Freelancer, but it seems like a bad sign if they don't want people seeing gameplay footage only two weeks from the game's release date...

    It's a private usenet indexer that periodically opens registrations; essentially the usenet equivalent of a private torrent tracker like TorrentLeech.

    Problem with PBS is that each of their releases has an availability time limit, making finding their older content at optimal resolutions difficult.

    Have you found a private tracker that works well for documentaries? I've tried TorrentLeech, FileList, MVGroup, and usenet so far, but my to-find list still has several releases I have yet to find in 1080p (despite most such documentaries having released since 2010). MVGroup is the best tracker for documentaries I've found so far, but they tend to upload lots of documentaries a tier below their optimal resolutions (ie 2160p documentaries in 1080p and 1080p documentaries in 720p).

    Given only 24Mbps of download speed split between everything in one household, keeping things likely to be rewatched backed up not only saves bandwidth, but also makes having a 4K TV somewhat worthwhile.

    Having only 4 Mbps up and 24 Mbps down, without Freeleech building a buffer would have been impossible, particularly when competing to seed torrents with people with faster internet speeds. In the case of TorrentLeech, the best option is to invest ~2GB of your buffer into downloading and seeding 100 10MB+ torrents, giving you 4 TL points per hour. In combining the gradual point gain with the rewards of the easily attainable TL achievements, after a month you should be able to accumulate 5000 points, enough to purchase 100GB of additional buffer from the TL marketplace.

    Had to use sudo to do it, but it worked. No message about permission issues appears when I try to save the changes to the Arguments tab anymore, but they still don't save when I reopen the permissions window either.

    Fixing new desktop Steam UI

    As I'm not a fan of the new Steam UI, I added the -vgui launch parameter to Steam on my laptop to revert the UI to how it was before. As trying to do this on the Steam Deck in desktop mode told me I didn't have sufficient permissions, I tried it again after using Konsole to take ownership of the Steam shortcut, however even then my attempts to add -vgui to the Arguments tab of the shortcut's properties are not being saved. Does anyone know how to make Steam launch with the old UI in desktop mode on the Steam Deck (without using Windows)?

    Usenet questions

    As neither public nor easily-accessible private torrent trackers are actively seeding some of the releases on my list, I was wondering if usenet may have at least some of them. Before getting usenet indexer and provider subscriptions, however, I had several questions: 1. Is there a means to browse usenet content availability prior to subscribing to an indexing service as a means of determining whether or not enough releases from my list are available to make the effort worthwhile? 2. What is the optimal combination of usenet indexer/provider services and how worthwhile would waiting until Black Friday to get either service be? Edit: Did a bit more research, deciding on Frugal Usenet as an initial usenet provider, NZBGet as a download client, and sourcing NZBs from NZB Finder after finding that it had more releases from my list than NZBPlanet or NZBGeek. Still haven't found most of the remaining releases from my list, however, so if there are better usenet providers or indexers than the ones I've tried so far, I'd be glad to try them! Edit 2: In trying to figure out why my usenet files were getting stuck at 0.71 MB I decided to add a NewsDemon block account to the mix (with the well-hidden reddit50 code seemingly cutting the cost of any such plan in half). Don't think it made a difference, as the files ended up being repaired and extracted by NZBGet after a subsequent refresh, but hopefully the extra provider will come in useful with rarer releases, if I can find anything else. Thanks for the help!
