   For Windows users I'd recommend Deluge, because its interface is more like uTorrent but without all the adware and plus it's open source. https://www.deluge-torrent.org/

    I don't understand what makes people disdain freedom so much that they'll deem this sort of state overreach as reasonable. Holding Tobacco producers liable is paternalist & wrong, this is almost totalitarian.

    I really hope one day Linux stops using package managers and switches to single-file binary installers as in Windows and Mac. Until that day, I won't feel completely comfortable using Linux. Package managers are an inherently flawed wa

    And why the hell should the browser act as an antivirus?. It's a browser, not an antivirus, it should assume the user knows what he's doing, not treat him like a toddler. It's just a huge annoyance with no considerable benefi

    Except that: 1) If you do it from home, the govt already knows where you live, or you can use proxies, or Tor, or a VPN. 2) If you don't do it from home, you are practically anonymous if you change your mac address and use someone else

    You're right, and both copyright and GDPR are pretty dumb ideas to be honest. The real question is, how can we convince people to stop accepting this sort of thing?.
