I personally love torrents, their decentralized nature will make them last forever.

I would love to see a client that shows you a full catalog of movies and shows and downloads right from the client. If I choose a movie it will just start downloading it right there and can let me watch it in a few minutes. Basically similar to popcorn time but actually maintained, and also supports a vpn.

My family still likes to use streaming services because they choose something off of Netflix and watch. It would be nice to have the same experience with torrents.

Making a browser from scratch would be very difficult. SerenityOS has one, but idk how usable it is.

Besides Firefox, I guess the least evil options would be something webkit-based. There are a few of those.

If she had simply not said anything, no one would be talking about it

This whole section of the graph will be that invisible part on the left in a couple years. Going up and down is normal as long as it’s trending up.

How will that be a failure? They’ll have finished the ethnic cleansing of the region and added more land. Another terrorist attack that kills a few people will just give them another casus belli to do another genocide somewhere else, probably in the west bank next.

This isn’t a war. A powerful and western-backed military state dropping chemical weapons on innocent civilians in response to a terrorist attack that those civilians had nothing to do with isn’t a war. It’s just a slaughter.

So basically the boomer queue ensures that cashiers have a job, and it ensures that I don’t have to be treated like a criminal because the cashiers are bagging the groceries and I won’t be subjected to “random controls”. I’m not seeing the negative.

I still use yt but most of the good content is also on nebula so you can try that. But yeah there’s just stuff that people on post on youtube so you might be stuck with it for a while.

It was common for european colonizers to say this about indigenous people, basically meaning that they don’t participate in the world economy. Or, said another way, they’re not being exploited for profits by said european colonizers, which is obviously bad.

I prefer to composite motion graphics using ed

This coupled with a few years of proton becoming very usable is an interesting mix.

Is this the year?

That’s not an illusion, that just means the bank owns it. I’m not sure what your point is here.

Your argument basically boils down to “never use amazon or any other shitty tech company for that matter”, which I guess I agree with.

Textbook example of the frog in boiling water. No one would have accepted this behavior before, but now we’re so used these big companies doing whatever they want, we have no problem shrugging off whatever they do.

I’m slowly coming to the conclusion that if you’re not actively sabotaging these companies (through piracy at least), you’re morally in the wrong.

I get the sentiment, but most places don’t have even halfway decent coffee shops. Everyone gives starbucks shit (rightfully so), but the fact is if you walk into a random cafe in America, it will most likely be inferior to starbucks. The level of quality in American coffee is just abysmal. And if you’re traveling, you won’t know if the cafe you take a chance on is a hidden gem (spoiler, it never is). I was in Austin one time and I found this hipster place that had great reviews on google. The interior was really nice, nice place to work, spacious, etc. The coffee tasted like dog water. It wasn’t mediocre, it was trash. I’m sure Austin has great cafes, but unless you live there how will you know? Starbucks is a consistent mediocre coffee.

In a real free market, the banks would have gotten too big to fail and we would have bailed them out (ask me how I know this)

Both cars and trucks need to exist for some cases, like you need cars to get around in rural areas and farmers need trucks to move around and haul shit. The problem is using either where they don’t fit. You shouldn’t need a car to get around a big city and you certainly shouldn’t be using a truck to do so.

Just run the company in a way where you don’t really care about maximizing profit.

Our system of government makes this illegal for publicly traded companies.

It’s frustrating since by using your tethered connection you’re using the same data that you already pay for. If there’s a limit on how much data, why does it matter how you use for it?

Don’t you need 2 pairs for phone
