Firefox with add-ons. Especially, but not only, Ublock Origin.

Algorithmic Addiction from Social Media consumption. An analogy would be Caffeine addiction from coffee consumption.

Most people who use smartphones are addicts and are far from being aware of it.

As everyone else here, I think piracy is illegal and immoral. We should accept that we don't own our services and software and we should never doubt that corporations have our best interest in mind.

Therefore you should never have a Plex server, never use protonmail, never use AdGuard Home, never use AdGuard DNS for private DNS.

Also you should never use Firefox with UBlock origin sponsorblock and consent o magic.

Lastly you should never ever use re-vanced and x-manager, and God forbid don't use a VPN

Edit: syntax

Thank you for the very informative post. Your professional way of handling the issue, puts corporate professionals, "cough" Reddit "cough", look like the amateurs they really are

There is a possibility that the Russians could get rid of Putin with less than 2000 dead altogether

Internet Archive makes me feel like a visit to an old section of a library that noone visited for a while every time I go there.

It's a shame that the US have at the same time people who treasure the need for preservation of culture and Civilization, and people who would sell their own mothers for the shareholder's profit.

If they don't move to a country with more logical copyright laws, I'm afraid we ll lose the too.

Dammit, 2023 is a year the Internet is gone to hell by the corpos faster than I can remember

USA could be, but isn't the greatest country in the world.

You're finally awake in death row and then spend the whole adventure, shouting to others, trying to avoid knee injury

So much for my trans-Atlantic voyage. Guess I ll take the trans-Siberian train then. Comms are very bad there so ill take the trans-ceiver with me.

reminds me of this scene from Idiocracy

Windows seems to be a severe infrastructure problem in modern Russia.

Because he is correct

they have an insane amount of gun and gun related deaths They don't have Universal Healthcare they don't have a federal payed leave law they don't have a maternal/paternal leave law they don't have tuition free universities they don't have decent mass transportation The use of the imperial system

It just doesn't make sense and baffles my mind for the richest country in the world to treat it's citizens like this

Unfortunately, they fucked around for us to find out. I don't feel bad if they find out a little bit too.

Video games always used to be an economic way of entertainment. With an amount equal to a restaurant dinner you could be entertained for hundreds of hours.

Nowadays, video games follow the trend of enshitification. Low quality, repeated material, bad gaming experience, data hoarding, the need to be always online even for a single player game and of course, the "you don't own, we can take it away anytime we want" mentality.

According to the court rulling, if you essentially want to play retro games, you should find a way to access the original hardware and run the software in mostly proprietary mediums like cartridges that could be damaged or corrupted. And the reason you can't do it is because you may actually have fun!

This ruling is so bongers it blows my mind.

So you should never, ever ever

1. Use emulators like Retroarch
2. Find the ROMs of various systems you like in various "archives" through the interwebs for research purposes ofcourse
3. Use a frontend like ES-DE or launchbox to make things look beautiful.
4. Scrape content through screenscraper or something similar to make your frontends even more beautiful. 5.Keep in mind that this combo ( Retroarch + frontend) works in mostly cross platform (windows, Linux, android etc.)

After all, as a researcher you have to be able to tinker a little bit.

Enjoy your research ;)

Just wait until they find out public schools are giving their children dihydrogen monoxide without asking for parental approval.

You can't give dihydrogen monoxide to children. Fish fuck in it when there are large quantities of it.
