What on earth are you babbling? If the point you're trying to make is that cats, like other animals, can show traits of humanity, sure, I'll give you that. But if you're trying to spew that a scientifically identified species is a completely different scientifically identified species... well then, I just might know of a bridge that's become available for purchase in your area.

I think it just comes down to habit and wanting to keep things simple. The adage "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" exists for a reason, after all. I never even bothered going as far as to trying block the ads. They suddenly appeared for me one day but would never render, the panels just kept flashing at me. It might have been while looking up a fix - I can't remember - but it was around that time that I also heard about the undisclosed mining issue so I quickly jumped ship. Been happily using qbittorrent ever since and now wouldn't really be able to swap again thanks to finding a proper dark mode theme for it. So few others seem to have it and I have no idea what I'm doing with theme creation.

Yes, thanks, though part of the disappointment is due to me wondering if she'll ever do anal content.

Any 'love' that wants you to give up your hobby is no love at all.

Which is the "only decent alternative"?

Genuinely thought this was Jamie Jett at a quick glance. Got disappointed after that.

I honestly couldn't say how long. I know I was late to the party on knowing what was going on but even I moved on from it a long time ago now.

Then enjoy. It just isn't for a lot of people. You have helped as a statistic to the original question though.

Took long enough. uTorrent has been cancerous for a long time now.

It's not bad but it's pretty bare. A lot of people like their bells and whistles these days.

Edit: Changed the wording to be less broad for all the "But I..." specials.

Is libgen still going? I tried to get on .is a few days ago and have had nothing since. Have they possibly changed domain?

As hinted at in the title, assuming the technology/means existed that could absorb energy fast enough, would it be possible to stop a star from going supernova, effectively "calming" it?

This is for a novel (not exactly a sci-fi one) but I'd like to keep in the realms of "technically possible".

Edit. Thank you to everyone for providing answers and specific thanks to @[email protected] @[email protected] and @[email protected] for the for the further reading/watching materials that have inspired a narrative solution that is kinda hand-wave-y but should be good enough to hold up to scrutiny until the moment someone with a PhD (or good enough knowledge) takes a closer look at a fictional word with a soft magic system and smashes the big ol' BS button which I think is about as much as fantasy novel writer can ask for.
