Correct. Russia IS the enemy. Secret warrants by a secret court is also the enemy. One is just more important and dangerous than the other (look out of the window). Perfect example of whataboutism BTW.

Somebody has to be on top. Would you rather have: USA Russia China ...be the top dog? It is not perfect but USA being the lone superpower is probably the best choice.

Whataboutism. Example: Country A caught doing something bad. "...but what about Country B?" Whataboutism is quite popular in discussions WRT Russia.

I hope it is for some OCR/machine learning work and not just for fun. Hard to pick up chicks when you say you collect unsolvable captcha images.

About the logo Why is the logo depicting a pair of copulating turtles? Ask ams@gnu.org. What is the name of the turtles? They are called Fred and George. And yes, they are both male.

"lower quality"? You can download entire BluRay disks, about 40GB, 4K shows, 10GB IIRC. You are wrong. Pirates have the same or HIGHER quality video in most cases.

IIRC we had the whole moral outrage over this a year or two ago. Reddit ended up banning these folks. And of course, surprise, surprise, they rebranded into "Fashion Advice" and are still - hard - at it.

Hmmm. Qt programs are pretty small. Java are bigger but still much much smaller than any Electron-based program. IIRC JRE is about 50 MB. Probably less. So even if you include it with your Java program, it's STILL smaller than Electron
