How “healthy” it is to attend holiday gatherings with your family depends entirely on your family’s chud ratio.

Hell my most played steam game, rimworld, I initially pirated and dropped before trying again later on and buying.

Back in the day you could buy Rimworld directly from the developer’s website and that shit was portable. I played it off a flash drive on my high school computers. Did the same thing with FTL as well. Most of my hours in those games are not logged, lol.

What do you get out of pretending to be stupid?

Yes, as well as parts of the settings menu. What’s not to love about constantly loading and unloading javascript just by clicking around in native apps? CPU spikes are good for your health.

I used to be a React dev. The only thing I hated more than React was my boss.

VPN companies and data brokers have a financial incentive to lobby for intrusive age-verification and restrictions, and prudish politicians are conveniently present in every political system. The porn lobby is powerful, but it seems they’ve been losing this battle recently. Or maybe they’re cutting deals with the data brokers, who knows.
