7·16 days agoPrice your goods right up to what the market can bear. Business sense.
Just allowing sites to deliver and execute js by default is insane. This is why every pirate should have a javascript blocking tool in their tool set.
Amazon, Apple, Comcast, Disney, Fox, HBO, Hulu, MGM, NBCUniversal, Netflix, Paramount, Sony, and Warner Bros.
Joke’s on you MPA, I don’t watch any modern trash produced by these “entertainment” companies.
Shortest answer: Agenda2030
You won’t even recognize the internet in a few years
What can we do to stop it?
But apparently people don’t care? They just keep paying for this?
Is your goal to attempt to stop other people from falling for subscriptions? You would be setting yourself up for disappointment.
Or do you mean “what can we do to stop it [from harassing us personally]”?
0·25 days agoFor example, one is pro-choice the other is pro-life. There is no middle on that issue.
Individuals should have full autonomy over their bodies, including to abort. However, the practice itself is a very sad decision for individuals to make and should be discouraged where possible.
Maybe that’s just slightly left of center
1·1 month agoI genuinely thought it was slang for Mullvad. Thanks, I stand corrected.
Tor Browser that is configured to use a VPN as it’s networking layer rather than the Tor network.
Also a good opportunity for them to catch a few sales for their own particular VPN service.
And if you don’t really care for VPNs, it is Firefox with the Arkenfox user.js template applied, in addition to some compile time flags disabling things like Mozilla’s telemetry reporting (even though this is already disabled by the user.js template).
It’s not so much about what hardware you use, but in how it is configured.
Pretty much any system hardening, privacy and anonymity resources will help here.
And with computer literacy on the decline, I wouldn’t be shocked to see in our lifetime a generation of people who conceptually cannot understand a local video file.
There is a Chinese expression: “The ugly wife is a treasure at home”
It is possible ugly can be substituted for dull (mentally).
If you totally unplugged from informational media, and went to live out your days engaging only in the things which bring you joy, would you be able to tell who the current sitting president was solely by indirect observation? People like to blame presidents for “the price at the pump” and other miniscule day-to-day things. But is there any substance to that?
What legal ramifications might follow taking such a role and intentionally doing it poorly?
How can anyone live in NYC?
Having read through accounts of Washington and Adams, it would seem that there was a very prevalent dislike of New York city in the colonies. They described NYC residents as lacking in decorum, which I still find fairly fitting today.
The loss of generational knowledge is a very real concern (in tech, not just piracy) that nobody talks about. I am genuinely concerned for the future of major Linux distros, for example.
I’m going to break the rules a little bit and share four.
In order:
-
Dolores Claiborne (1995)
-
Misery (1990)
-
Elf (2003)
-
The Lego Movie (2015)
Here is my fan theory (possible spoilers):

A traumatized and desperate woman is driven nearly to insanity dealing with a rough life in north eastern America. After losing her family life, she retreats to a mountain cabin to live out her days alone and at no risk of ever being taken advantage of again. As a coping mechanism, she develops and unhealthy relationship with written fiction.

The writer who escapes moves far away and takes on a new identity working as a publisher of children’s books in New York city (no chance of crazies kidnapping you over children’s books, right?). He thought he was finished dealing with crazy people until a man claiming to be both his son and a christmas elf are thrust into his life.
<Events of Elf unfold>
Reconnecting with family and assimilating back into society has turned Buddy, who has since dropped that moniker, into a respectable, hard working family man. He wants to give his children the normal childhood he was never allowed to have. Although he still clings to some old habits. After suffering the trauma of having his custom built Lego city crushed by his manager back in Gimbels department store years prior, he is now healing by constructing an elaborately crafted Lego city in the basement of his home. Only this time meticulously cementing each piece into place.
His now wife, knowing his past, is accepting of the hobby. But his own children, with whom he hasn’t shared his upbringing, aren’t so understanding.

It would actually be easier to list the things I use that wouldn’t be considered old, as those are the exceptions.
In what ways are you unsatisfied with your current gender?
Nobody has really answered the last part of my question. I’m not asking whether or not this is ethical, I’m asking how can I keep the employees who don’t leave in a state of perception where they think I’m ready to fire and replace them at any moment. I don’t want them to realize their position and leverage it against me.
I’ve been thinking about holding the promise of upping wage by a dollar and to keep pushing out the date as means of helping them realize how easy their work is. I’m not going to allow non-committed hires to devour the value of my business over what amounts to easy work. They know it’s easy work.
