apparently this happens https://www.reddit.com/r/Soulseek/comments/cs9j02/users_who_charge_to_access_their_files/

i think that it's mostly because they don't want somebody with 0 shared files to download - and i sorta understand that, would be lot cooler if people weren't leeches only, sure, but i can't be bothered to check or enforce. if you have something shared and message them they'll usually allow to download

Preferences -> Searches -> toggle Show privately shared files in search results

you can hide private files in search results, at least in nicotine

people who were using these addons probably had them installed already, so it'll only affect new users

on these laptops you can update bios from bios, just needs to be connected via ethernet

better get W10 LTSC in VM and use it until EOL and beyond, it'll be more privacy friendly this way

wrong

it penetrates buildings just fine

yes they are, you can detect lower bands pretty much everywhere. The problem is modulation: AM sucks balls when it comes to noise rejection. Some AM stations switch to digital encoding which uses the same band so good propagation + good audio quality within some range. After you get too far away signal just drops, if you're willing to put up with higher noise level range of normal AM radio is basically global

i've seen this on lw accounts, unless you can pull it out if you own community somehow

i've noticed that LW replaces what i assume are some slurs in comments with removed it's automated, there's no indication that content was edited, nobody announced that, nothing appears in modlog so it must be done in db directly

that and they also prohibit use of vpns and tor

they also took suspiciously long to defederate exploding heads, compared to some leftist instance that i don't remember now but that instance wasn't an issue

admins banned a community, not one but three. this one, piracy at .ml and another one at db0. it's likely that lw admins defederated from entire instance too

e: i think it happened in the past but now db0 is federated with lw
