Knowing how paranoid Putin is, I’m almost sure this is a body double

I would spend the money on a VPN instead because:

1. DLL links are always down, torrents can die too, but overall they are much more reliable, you can just have your torrent search engine to organise by seeders.

2. Much more content on torrents

3. Much higher quality, DLLs at least back when I used those had terrible quality.

4. Much easier to manage 100 downloads at the same time, sure Jdownloader exists, but…

5. RSS downloaded, you can get your favourite anime torrent or RSS and qbittorrent will download it for you every week.

6. Security, if you download software, popular torrent websites are much more trusted and moderated and you have less probably of getting malware.

7. If you subscribe to a DLL site you can use that single website, if you torrent you can download from many websites.

8. You can use the VPN for other stuff.

Coz you booted in BIOS mode, arch iso has a different boot menu for EFI and BIOS mode.

I strongly advise that your PC supports BIOS/Legacy mode, use that instead of stupid overcomplicated, buggy UEFI crap.

I guess UEFI is useful if you want to use secure boot or PCI pass through, otherwise there’s no reason to make your life painful by using UEFI, just install grub to the MBR and it just works, no need for complicated UEFI dirs, and add the UEFI vars to the device firmware that get automatically deleted every time you swap hard drives and then the system stops booting, and ofc installing to the removable path doesn’t work either…

My god, I hate UEFI with passion.

As much as I like Librewolf as concept and ideology, I can’t keep thinking that if there’s a Firefox 0day, Firefox gets patched first, Librewolf later, and I’m potentially exposed for longer. That’s why I prefer to stick with upstream.

There’s ffshare on f-droid, but I’ve never tried it, don’t know if it works.

Interesting, but this technology seems really scary, imagine being interrogated with a machine that translates thoughts into words, now try not to think of a sandwich.

The Hubble still works?

That’s nice, I thought I read an article some years ago that it was going to be decommissioned.

Oh well. I’m just glad I can access all my files on NTFS

Shhh! Don’t give them ideas…

You’re responsible for the technology you create.

So if I create a knife I’m responsible if someone uses it for murder?

Maybe I should implement a camera on the knife that records your kitchen 24/7 to make sure the knife wont be used for murder, is that OK with you?

Unionize workers in Microsoft.

If you “unionize” microsoft and keep windows non-free software, the employees get better wages, apart from that the users still get spied upon, and the means of production (windows source code) still under ownership of a small group of people, (and just like any other operating system or knife, can) still used for nefarious purposes.

Even if the workers at the microsoft commune decide to made windows non-spyware anymore, there is still no way to actually be sure since there’s no way to verify it.

Also, proprietary software isn’t only a prime example of private ownership of the means of production, but also a prime example of artificial scarcity.

As long as it’s “Free Software” instead of “Free people” you’re playing on the side of the tech oligarchy.

Free software is a requirement for free people, if you don’t understand that, then you really have no understanding of how technology works, of how people work and how freedom works.

I recommend reading the following article: https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-software-even-more-important.html

Isn’t that true for most models until someone destiles and quantises them so they can run on common hardware?

Your OS doesn’t, put the messaging apps that your friends/family/coworkers use do.

And no, you can’t convince them to switch messager, I tried.

OMG! I’ve been looking for something like this for quite some time!

I will try this as soon as I have time. Thank you!
