Actually that would be in violation of human rights. Also prisoners have a right to see their lawyer.

Yep. On paper we have a LOT of different browsers. In reality everything relies more or less on Chrome and Firefox.

Pretty sure ABP wasn't the first adblocker. Just the one that made it to mainstream popularity.

Expected, after the VPN crackdown.

Yeah I have a clean backup browser for the few sites that don't work and I still want to use. I'm always reminded how CRAP the internet has become.

Yeah I'd wish there was a way to make exclusivity contracts illegal. Sell your TV show to all the streaming services instead of one.

"extremely live-and-let-live" That's the attitude that I like. I can't stand false liberals and progressives. Nobody gets to tell anyone how to live their lives. If I wanted that I'd move to a rural village in Pakis

I block ads, analytics and 3rd party fonts. Almost every site works just fine.

One of the best things about LTSB is cumulative updates. I get 1.5Gb of security and bug fixes every month or so that quietly installs in the background. Like it was in Win7. And when its done it just sits there waiting for me to MANUALLY p

If only Microsoft could separate feature updates from security and bugfixes... Oh wait they can! They are! I'm using Enterprise LTSB. Solid as a rock. Windows as a service: they haven't done anything since 1607 that I want.

Israel got its nukes with help from US, English and French scientists. Do not ever underestimate the level of guilt people have about the Holocaust. Nobody was ever prosecuted for leaking nuclear secrets to Israel.

Sadly the wonderful American invention of "gig economy" has crossed the Atlantic. Those Deliveroo guys deserve a tip. Actually getting your hands on cash money is surprisingly hard in my country though, ATMs are rapidly vanishing.

Considering that the US election spending reached a billion $ I'm not convinced. I'd love to one day see a US presidential candidate hand out flyers on Times Square.

The US has decided that its politicians are for auction. I don't see why its a problem if the bidding is from China instead of Comcast? Besides foreign governments have been lobbying in Washington for decades. There is a whole industry

Yeah this is a big factor. Where I live everyone goes to school in their area. Dense population means kids can walk or at the most cycle to school. At least in primary.

I'm not a people person and keep to myself in public but I will act if I see someone kidnap or harass a minor. Its common decency and I'm sure Americans still have that?
257.
by Feniks 9y ago
There are also stories about adults getting kidnapped 2 blocks from home. People still leave the house.

This. I like my niche obscure anti marketing parasite browsers. But I am well aware there's a lot of Mozilla code in Waterfox and Pale Moon. And ultimately its MS, Mozilla and Google who run this show. And out of those Mozilla is still

Interesting but hypocritical coming from the UK. Ultimately its a decision by society: safety net or not? I consider homelessness a personal and national insult and would never stand for it. I also pay 21% VAT on everything I buy.

Yep €4 for a 0.5 liter bottle of water. Needless to say I eat and drink before going to the theatre.

The internet never forgets. More than one politician has found this out.

I speak from experience that a lot of FF users don't even know what about:config is or how to edit it. It all seems sneaky and deliberately obtuse.

Not very innovative if somebody expects to live the rest of their life on the royalties of one book or movie. And realistically who can do that anyway? In popular culture?

Don't worry VPNs will be illegal soon ;)

I struggle to think what you could even trade with Russia besides gas/oil and other natural resources. I'm sure Estonia is hard at work with renewable power sources so Russia will just fall behind even further. One day the Baltic

Yep, entire continents like Australia and North America ;)

That's a tiny minority. Lets face it: if you haven't made your profit in 5 years you never will and the loss will have been written of.

There are shady hosting companies who don't ask a lot of questions. Some of them even accept BTC. At the end of the day TPB is just ones and zeros in a basement somewhere.

by Feniks 9y ago
I've developed my own golden rule: if something is 5 years or older its public domain. TPB and digital piracy in general functions as a library of Alexandria. Nobody in our society gives a shit about keeping things available. It's

by Feniks 9y ago
Still up though. I use it every once in a while because its on TOR. My ISP has to block some pirate sites now. I'm from the generation that grew up with digital piracy. I am accustomed to have all media available. From nineties anime s
