If you also need test videos, Demolandia is another great resource. However, their site is very slow, so you might want to use a download manager.

Nice, that's exactly what I'm looking for! Thanks

It's a shame the UK's Competitive Markets Authority let this merger go through after all. I can't wait for the future, when 90% of the most popular games are made by 3 companies

Oh, I understand now, I'm not from the US so I just assumed that it was majority-funded. I'm just not sure why this would be a big deal even if NPR was government funded - I mean, it's still better than a broadcaster owned by the media oligopoly, so who really cares?

Yeah, they totally should, but this is Elon Musk we're talking about, unfortunately :/

Is that so? I thought it was a more significant source. But isn't it technically correct, though? I'm not American, but Wikipedia says it was established by the Public Broadcasting Act of 1967.

Serious question: What's wrong with NPR being labeled as "US-supported media"? Isn't it funded by the US federal government?

What about the about:profiles page?

Rutracker has a lot of ISO rips, maybe start there?

I mean, you could just block OpenAI's crawlers' IP addresses, if you wanted to

Maybe it was updated after your comment, but the demo site has that notice prominently at the top for me

As a frequent Discogs user, this new fee change is so infuriating. I'm sure these changes aren't as big for US or EU-based buyers, but the shipping fees I get in Singapore were very large even before this change, usually 2 or 3 times the cost of the item itself. Nowadays, there are some sellers who flat out refuse to sell items to me, specifically because of the fees. And this is just with CDs and cassettes, which have smaller shipping costs than a 12" record...

The problem is, I don't really have any choice for getting used music. eBay has limited stock and even crazier shipping rates, especially if you want a specific edition of an album. I've heard talk of some sellers moving to Etsy, but if they have, they're not showing up. And the few physical stores left here mostly carry stock in mainstream albums. So I mostly have to suck it up if I want a rare album, and pay the exorbitant costs :/
