dessalines , 2 months ago to Asklemmy in To date, what do you think is the greatest invention or discovery and why?

One I didn't see yet: Radio.

Less than 150 years old, and has vitally changed how we communicate, and has downstream effects on every other human activity.

Kind of magical having streams of information travelling all around us.

A deluge of articles that confirms the audience's unexamined orientalism, and makes them feel superior.

dessalines , 2 months ago to Asklemmy in Lemmy, what music artists do you believe deserve more attention?

Jukebox the ghost. Criminally underrated, they'd have been as big as queen or muse if they had the right publicity and timing.

The Tallest Man on Earth. Probably the best modern folk artist, but not as well known as he should be.

Aimee Mann. One of the best songwriters of the 90s and 2000s. Popular, but not as much as she should be.

Placebo.

Talk Talk. Spirit of Eden is one of the greatest albums ever made, but not many people know about it.

Thank you for your service.

Some people including OP are completely missing the point of torrenting, which is to share, not leech. If everyone removed their torrents like the OP, everything would quickly become unavailable and die.

IMO a better strategy is to just limit your global upload speed. Then at least you're still making everything healthy and available, even if its distributed slowly.
