Until a few days agora I had never heard of Usenet. When it came to this I’ve stopped back in Piratebay. Used mostly for music (before streaming era) and desktop computer applications (eg, Microsoft suite or photography apps).

How far have things come? Is there a “manual” on how to use Usenet? What is the step by step for someone looking for an application and starting from a complete zero (I mean, haven’t downloaded anything and not even gone to any website)?? If you believe is needed, give me an intro on what usenet is and how it works, nothing technical, as someone who used piratebay.

Many thanks for all the guidance you can bother to spend time sharing 🙏
