Just buy a VPS/VPN that is okay with torrenting. (My suggestion is to try the different services and stick with one that doesn't ban you.)(I have never encountered one that cared, but some VPNs did feel like they throttled torrent

The piracy option is not all that shady at all (there are good sites, and even the bad sites just need you to know what a magnet link is and not clicking on other download links), and you can get DRM-less copies in any combination of size&#

We get a distributed ledger that’s very expensive to tamper with. Coordination is costly, rationality 101.

It can be a source of revenue for terrorists though.

How do you know they are real humans? I imagine bots doing 2FA would still be cheaper.

1) I and almost all my (even distant) family live in Iran. 2) I don’t know. I know there is a minority (again no idea how big) that really likes Trump because they really hate the Islamic regime, but these people tend to be poor (? Again no

As an Iranian, I have to say that while your last sentence might be true (Saudi Arabia sucks after all), I'd still rather live in a world where the opposing superpower would pressure my country to respect human rights and stop funding

I am Persian. From what I gather, the middle-plus class here still mostly believes that changing the regime is costly and risky (especially since it might very well lead to a civil war, as the regime has no humanity and has shown that it wi

You can disable SSL checks, though I don't think I had them. Youtube-dl is very slow though, you're better off using a Telegram bot to give you the videos. The app also can't run for long in the background, which is essential

Except it is still better than those "modern" projects. I use a lot of editors in parallel, and Emacs has the best UX by a landslide. (I have 3000 lines of config in addition to using Doom, but that is what emacs is about in the f

Even VSCode is nowhere near Jetbrains. Their IDEs are rather heavy though. Doom's python+lsp works well enough for me. (My config https://github.com/NightMachinary/doom.d )

Why would Google continue to provide free emails if this has no benefits for it? Even if it continues because it has already paid most of the cost and the small marketing benefit will be worth the maintenance, it will not develop the produc

Google is held accountable by money, which I find as good competition to "term limits, forced transparency, and an election system." These "concessions" do not necessarily align the politicians with the people.

Isn't the government the ultimate monopoly though? Wouldn't big companies be some sort of (admittedly twisted) competition for it?

Dumping is only bad if it is temporary. Otherwise, it's called a natural monopoly.

> charging absolutely nothing for their competing product. Most people prefer this. What you're suggesting is to subsidize the rich by removing free products thus making everyone share the costs for the premium services. I.e., this

Telegram was (and is) a much better messenger, yet people in most Western countries continued to use WhatsApp because of the network effects. This is strong evidence that requiring interop is a promising legal intervention. Heck, there is n

I tested most cpp pkg managers (including vcpkg and conan); They suck. They suck so much that I reached the conclusion that using git submodules was the way to go, and saw “just copy the header file” in readmes of modern projects. The pkg m

A lot of them might just be better liars; E.g., here in Iran the gov has managed quite a good marketing, but the reality on the ground makes it clear that the hospitals have been severely out of capacity, and infection is very widespread. S
