I presume it's cool to post magnet links in here?

I wonder if we're wrong to group entertainment and physical goods into the same category though. They're wildly different things.

If I make you a pair of shoes, I need to charge you money to account for my time, my effort, and the materials it took to make them. If I make a thousand shoes, it doesn't scale; the price per shoe has to stay the same.

If I write an ebook, I would charge for the time and effort it took to write it, but there's no material charge. It scales entirely differently because I can make a billion ebooks for the same cost as one.

Considering that, the old way of thinking that I should be able to resell an ebook like some shoes I bought doesn't seem to apply logically. We're buying entertainment, not physical goods. I don't bitch that I can't resell the experience of going to a concert, so why do I bitch (and I do) that I can't resell digital media?

I just wish the publishers would price media accordingly. If they all worked out a deal with stremio to get ten cents whenever I streamed a movie, I wouldn't think twice. But instead I need to sign up with multiple services and pay $20 to stream one, and I just realized I'm bitching to the choir so I'll end there.

Am I the only one that has never gotten this software to work worth a damn? The interface is impenetrable and it never finds what I want.

Maybe it's because I'm not searching for Steven King or whatever super-popular author? Either way, I've yet to find anything that is as easy as just going to library genesis and downloading manually.

I don't agree with the punishment one bit.

But it was never about getting their money back. Instead they just wanted a life-ruining sentence and large number to give to the media to scare people into not fucking with Nintendo.

Nintendo knows they'll never see even one million of that 65. Hell, they'll probably never even make enough to cover the lawyer fees. They don't care as they're playing the long game. They're trying to prevent the next Bowser before it happens. Which won't work, but they'll never understand why.

I think you've already found a better way, but I'll answer your original question too.

You mention that the party members have been removed from the party node. I believe signals are tied to a node, so as soon as they're freed or otherwise removed, that signal listener is already disconnected. Hence the error you're getting.

For me, I use Arch Linux with a 7900xtx. Had to force install the rocm torch stuff in the env but after that it worked beautifully.

That's fair, I didn't specify DRM-free. Still probably better than buying through Amazon.

But I'd prefer to use my own ebook reader.

Can you even buy ebooks these days without going though Amazon? Aside from an incredibly small amount of indie authors (who probably got kicked from Amazon for unknowingly pissing off some algorithm) there's no place to download them and support the authors.
