Indeed, although I would say it’s a more broad lack of cognitive ability. Low empathy, low intelligence and low capacity for abstract and critical thought. All of these make them easy to manipulate.

Sadly, some of them have issues so severe that they will even reject their own children.

Luckily, this father was capable of letting the love of his child overcome.

Sometimes I think that someone should start some kind of religion to help manipulate them in a way that they love their children, neighbours and love peace.

Then I think, that Jesus dude already tried, but with mixed results.

Ok wow.

Well, to be fair, back in 2020 the switch was also my first console since the N64.

Hope you enjoy it!

It always baffles me how many Mario Kart games they keep selling.

I guess it must be almost exclusively little kids who get it with their own first Nintendo at this stage.

And when you subscribe to 1 or 2 rotating streaming services and only torrent for personal archiving purposes, you aren’t even depriving the streaming services of any revenue.

We should call it archiving instead of piracy to be honest.

Thanks, that clarifies it and definitely answers my question.

Anyone know if this Archeologist edition also includes the main game?

I presume so, since edition kind of implies a minor deviation or bonus stuff.

A long time ago, I tried to repair a Braun toothbrush and encountered the exact same problems you describe.

Welded tabbed batteries and booby trap hair wires. :(

Sadly, I have up and bought a new one.

This should be illegal.

The best solution I can think of is to have something like Tor.taxi

Also, they curate the collection so that it doesn’t get filled with low quality garbage.

Part of preserving and sharing knowledge is doing quality control.

Get you hormones tested. Brain fog sucks.

You are right, but it’s not just poor developed countries and not just windows either.

Back in the 1990s, copy protection in general was weak and companies wishing to expand market share did not prioritize combating piracy.

They always just focused on making the big companies pay through licensing audits and kept prices high to ensure revenue.

The whole industry just accepted that students, researchers and tinkerers would pirate their software.

Photoshop, Office, Visual Studio and even enterprise software like Oracle had this dual strategy: let piracy help spread market share among those who can’t or won’t pay, while maintaining high prices and security audits to drive revenue from companies.

Many companies still follow this strategy.

Indeed.

Torrenting over I2P is the future. No need for VPN and no dependency on donated bandwidth like with Tor.

The technology needs a bit of refinement and it seems they are struggling to attract and maintain good developers.

In my opinion, the fundamental protocols of I2P need a revamp to make torrenting faster and more efficient.

It will take a few years before we solve these problems.

Good point.

Gotta wear them in pairs, for the balance, obviously.

And don’t forget to buy them in pairs so that the organizer remains balanced.

Whenever communists or socialists gather, the tankies take over.

It’s been like that since the past 100 years.

I that case, why not help spread a little freedom in the rest of the world by hosting an I2P node?

We should make torrenting over I2P the default.

Any dissidents in places like China who are caught using it could then plausibly claim they were just downloading a movie.

Welp, gonna miss theNetherlands… :-(

There should be a bond system where users or instances place some kind of crypto bond that is forfeited when abuse happens.

This, I would just buy Monero (XMR) on an exchange with KYC. Once you start using it, it’s impossible to link it back to you.

If you are really paranoid, use a throwaway temporary wallet. Transfer from the exchange to that wallet and then from that wallet to your main wallet and throw away the wallet you used to interact with the exchange. You can then honestly claim you lost the keys to that wallet.
