Not The Onion

Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Please also avoid duplicates.

Comments and post content must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

Fair enough. I will point out that for the context of my comment, this is probably functionally equivalent


that is, if one has a piece of software to walk the DHT and build a list of torrents on it, it's probably still going to be done in a fully-automated fashion.

I use bitmagnet, but it just scrapes the metadata
