Me seeding the entire Ghibli movie collection vs me seeding Future Boy Conan.

Insane how Miyazaki is universally loved and yet so few even know about that show. It’s like people loving David Lynch’s films without ever having heard of Twin Peaks.

qbittorrent gets it done for me. I used bigly a bit but it sketches me out somewhat. For macos I remember that transmit was really nice.

According to a Wall Street Journal report citing US intelligence

Yeah OK, you can stop reading there. Two of the biggest propaganda outlets in the western world, both hawkish, would fucking love an open war with Russia and have been saying it’s imminent for decades.

This scenario is a right wing fantasy.

…Will they?

When there’s a criminal matter in US local waters that merits police boats, they’ve generally dealt with the issue by the time the press can report on it.

Oh I don’t hate you at all! I actually agree with you, if the DRM-free software or license isn’t actually in your possession, you really don’t have security of ownership.

My guess after doing some self-reflection as a Steam customer… Because there aren’t really any truly comparable alternatives, so until that becomes the case people with thousands of dollars of game licenses in Steam are paranoid about the idea of needless exodus away from the platform, as they don’t know how secure their purchases would be in the long term under that scenario. Competition risks stability. So they kneejerk downvote criticisms out of that paranoia. I think it’s far more that investment self-interest emotion than say, fanboyism of Valve.

It took me 15 seconds to read that explanation and I understand it fully without ever even going there. Terrible answer to the posted question.

Not occupying all the time of half your population for two years of their lives probably has greater, less-vague benefit.

No, they still sum up to double bad. Cute trans girls exist regardless.

Huh, that is a little sus. Not a definite identification IMO but the consistent format across a wide range of random questions is kinda odd. Next question is, why engagement farm on Lemmy?

Correct. It’s not just Trump, it’s an entire generations-long policy norm to suppress peace and sovereignty across the middle east that passively scapegoats and endangers jews all over the world as consequence, perhaps intentionally. Pretty sure that Israeli money still funds the majority of both Republican and Democrat campaigns in congress. We need a whole-house cleaning, Israeli lobby funds from any sources need to be popularly seen by voters as a hard disqualification. Jewish voices that oppose genocidal Israeli domination narratives need to be amplified and normalized.

My security best practice of forgetting to update for several months in a row finally pays off.

Would end with Mexico reclaiming Texas and California, inshallah.

I learned the foss equivalents so that I don’t need to.

Gondor calls for aid

I mean how would they not exempt FOSS, short of individually policing the software installed on every individual personal system or instituting new hardware requirements and making the use of non-compliant hardware criminal?

Free store is best store

Sitting on a mountain of complexities you don’t know anything about and probably don’t even know exists is basically modern computing in a nutshell.

My friends: “Yeah so uh… What torrent sites are safe today? Anything?”
Me: “Piratebay”
My friends: “What? Haven’t they been down for over a decade?”
Me: “Nope.”

Butters looks a lot like my furbaby, including the seal point footies! Her opinion on water seems to be “The wider the bowl, the better”. I think she doesn’t like feeling her whiskers get squeezed by a narrow bowl.
