No faith for 5G?

Nobody can fucking win with either option anymore.

So you’re disgruntled with Mozilla now, so you hop to Chrome. But you learn that Chrome has neutered the way you were once able to have dodged ads. Whoops! Now that’s a problem, in addition to knowing how data-hungry Google has been for a while.

What’re you left with? Edge? Edge has recently announced that it too neutered ad-blockers and it’s not open source and they’re just as data-hungry because now you’re dealing with Microsoft.

So now Firefox, Edge and Chrome are all off the table now because they all went the route of enshittification.

Opera? Can’t trust opera because of it’s ties to a chinese company so that’s either here or there. Chromium? Back to dealing with Google again! Brave? The CEO is an asshat, targeted ads, cryptobullshit .etc

All that we’re realistically down to is just Firefox forks. IceDragon, Weasel, LibreWolf and all of them. Plenty of options but updates and development varies.

What choice…

I think the painful reality is, is that the availability of good honest, privacy focused browsers are narrowing. Mozilla just had to go and make it harder. I’m personally using LibreWolf myself.

I hope the trophies are shaped like hard dicks. Who’s the biggest cocksucker for anti-piracy?

This is why I stress that it is more important so “Protest Smarter” and not “Protest Louder”.

It’s required that you kind of be on top of things.

Where the fuck were you in 2011?

So it’s SOPA 2.0 but it has a chance of passing because of a wild government that has no dignity.

Oh no, like I ever use Edgeplorer.

laughs in Office 2007 and laughs even harder in LibreOffice

It’s like people who only ever decide to listen to the radio while driving around. Dude, we’ve had the ability to play our CDs with cassette adapters, we’ve had the ability to play cassettes in our cars and things have gotten twice as better the day the IPod came and mass MP3 support through USB happened.

There is no excuse as to why no one can’t just plug in their media device or use Spotify or something. If you continue to listen to the radio, you have no stance to complain about the music.

Even if you’re right, why the fuck add in unnecessary features to a simple word program?

Work for it, lazy moocher.

I see you’ve asked this very thing and it didn’t go over well for you in the other instance.

America is not entirely immune from the problems you’ve seen in Europe. Different continents, different sets of problems. America’s problem is how it takes any and every chance it has had, to be a more prosperious country and pisses it away by allowing very few rich people and corporations take it entirely over.

And it is at the expense of the populace. What’s there to be grateful for when YOUR country is the one offering free healthcare, when America has pressurized it’s people in a ‘pay or die’ situation?

Yes, 3+4 remakes. I’m for it. It has to be.

From just headphone use? No, disagreed. From loud music? I used it as an example, I don’t listen to loud music constantly as much anymore. You can’t avoid Tinnitus because even if you didn’t listen to loud music all of the time, being surrounded by loud noise in general will eventually get you there. I work in a store where people slam pallets down (for no stupid reason), screech pallet jacks, have noisy pallet jacks in general, ladder carts squeal and screech. We’re not allowed to protect our ears because “CONSOOMER FIRST” priority.

Plus, where I live, people slam their doors around, they holler, babies and kids throwing fits. Yeah, it doesn’t matter if I listen to loud music or not, I will develop Tinnitus because of the environments. It’s an environment thing.

I’m not buying it that it is headphone-related. I wear headphones nearly all of the time, I’ve listened to music loudly for years on end, I’ve had to deal with loud screeches, loud noise wherever I go, lived and worked.

It is totally an environmental thing. Plus, the article had already wrapped up what the problem was and a normal hearing test came back negative.

But they haaaaaad to find a reason in the next line. Just had to.

Really wish netbooks would make a return.

He’ll probably find it then be surprised that he’s prosecuted for it. Play stupid games…

There aren’t a lot of legal ramifications for simply discussing piracy online, other than attracting annoying moralistically conflicted people who’re going to challenge you on the grounds of how acceptable piracy is. I would stick to piracy communities to avoid that.

Don’t be an e-beggar. I wish sometimes pirates would stop catering to these people who beg and beg all of the time and not even give much of a thank you. They have a good chance of coming back and just asking for more things because they’re too lazy to do the work themselves, subtracting all of the inability to do so for whatever reason.

Make your pirating patterns inconsistent on purpose, don’t download massive amounts of data that will make you a blip on the radar and of course a VPN.

You’re not making a lot of sense here. And I don’t really see where the simple act of discussing digital piracy would warrant it illegal. Now actually pirating is illegal and varies from person to person and location to location. It is something you just do and should already accept the risky circumstances involved in doing so.

I think asking for donations is a lot less attention grabbing, than it is getting advertisers, which is what the point of donations is for, is to prevent having to resort to advertising.
