From my understanding, in Brazil, you just ask your local dealer if he knows someone and he’ll put you in touch
Just your typical internet guy with questionable humor

Crypto whatever (coin, token, nft)
Social media
Internet as a whole (you can always dig a hole further down)
“You are not a worker, you are an entrepreneurial partner!” Type of corporate bullshit
Electric vehicles (mostly due to faulty batteries, but also because they don’t fix the problem of shitty car focused city design)
Kurumin Linux, which was a Brazilian distro based on Knoppix. This was back in 2006 or so, and that was my first hands-on experience with Linux.
I don’t fully remember whether everything worked out of the box, I think it connected to the internet no problem (cable), but what amazed me was:
1 - It ran off the CD drive without needing to install anything 2 - It had loads of preinstalled utility software 3 - Less than 700MB
The next step after programmer socks
Their refund tends to work well, even if the seller tries to convince you to send the piece of shit back to them. Just say “seller will use the item to fraud another customer” when refusing to send it back (if it was an obvious fake thing, like “8tb pendrive”). Ali will almost always side with you
Decentralized governments: already a reality in most places, with a clear hierarchy (federal, state/province, city). Local communities aren’t always formed, but can coexist
Decentralized power sources: kinda there already? The thing is that it makes more sense economically to have a small number of big power plants than spread then thinly, especially due to industry needs that can be much larger than what residential lines typically transmit
Decentralized market: I mean, open fairs and small, corner markets are still a thing, no? Or what kind of market do you mean?
Decentralized currency: crypto kinda does that? There’s no central authority issuing whatever-coins. In more real-life terms, decentralized currency is deeply tied to local economy and you can look at history for how something like that used to work: small kingdoms almost always wanted to mint their own coins, then whenever conducting trade with external markets, some exchange rates would be set based on supply/demand.
It sure is easy to grift squeenix out of their money nowadays, eh? I think I’ll start some new blockchain project, market it to whoever’s their CEO, get rich and get out.
Eh, it’s not like much happened between 2007 and now, maybe just a couple of updates
Why not give (Common)LISP a try?
Write your own copy of Windows 10, minus the bloat. You’ll probably have 2 floppies left
With those in hand, start waving them around maniacally and shout “WHY IS IT CALLED A FLOPPY IF IT’S SO DAMN HARD!?”
Any “hardcore full loot pvp MMORPG”
Could also be browser settings. I often get infinite captcha’d on private Firefox tabs
Storytime, please?
Historical piracy was never about social justice, especially when you consider that a number of pirates during the 1600-1800s received government’s blessings to operate, so long as they didn’t attack the nation’s ships.
Pirates simply did on sea the same thing highway robbers have been doing on land since the dawn of civilization.
Unless the companies sell their DRM as a service instead of a per-movie-product, nothing would happen, I suppose, other than no more customer support. I suspect any online checks the DRM does is with the movie owners rather than the software developer.
I’d infiltrate said company only to make sure it goes bankrupt asap
I’m amazed none of these have been mentioned yet. Here are some of my faves
Can you file a complaint straight to a regulatory agency? In Brazil, thankfully, whenever ISPs or telcos give you too trouble, you can simply complain straight to ANATEL (Brazil’s telecom regulator agency), saying what you’re trying to do and which, if any, protocol ID (you get one whenever you get on line with their customer blockage service) you’ve had. Companies will reply and fix the problem the next day.
And then you have Capcom, who put fucking denuvo years AFTER a game’s release
