I 2p is really exciting and I hope to see more usage but boy it seems lonely out there from what I can tell. More clients that simultaneously support clearnet and i2p are needed I think.

How do you define better? You are going to have a very limited and probably slow download experience on i2p so for find stuff it’s not better right now. Not having to pay for and trust a vpn is better though I think

I know right.

Bit gross that it’s a RU domain though

Yes

Downloading and listening can still indicate an indirect form of support. Up to the individual, but I lean towards this guy being as canceled as possible, recommend rerouting any efforts to listen to this towards searching for some new exciting music.

Wild story. I do remember hearing about her a long time ago but had forgotten until now. History teachers in primary school need to include these kind of stories.

That kind of work flow is ok if you have good access to subscriptions but need one obscure paper. Its not an efficient or reliable work flow for many and largely excludes older papers.

All out of sympathy for lost souls still milling about reddit.

Sadly no longer updated but I think libgen and some other services are filling the gaps.

As someone in science that has used this many times, I can’t emphasize enough how much this has accelerated research in the modern era. I am so grateful for her work.

Seems like most pirated software does a good job of trying to cut software off from internet communication so that it doesn’t get sniffed out on an add-on or update query. I don’t trust most software companies anymore as far as security goes either. So the short answer is at least personally, after scanning everything before and after installation and check network monitor for anything that looks weird while running, yes I consider my system secure still.

Curious what “safe” list you are referring to?

It’s more legal to share military secrets with journalists. Don’t believe me? Wait and see how long that guy ends up spending in jail.

I’ve long since given up on thinking Oscar winners equate to good films. It’s a closed voting system subject to cronyism and hidden agendas. I honestly would trust my time spent more with movie recommendations made by all you asshats on Lemmy. I’m not going to bury my head in the sand on Anora - the preview did nothing for me at all, but after winning all those awards, I’ll at least see what the fuss was about via pirating most likely. For 2024 films though, I’ve got Lisa Frankenstein on my to watch list before Anora though.

Piracy may have saved your life!

I grew up with the very mention of the word Nintendo triggering dopamine spews in my brain. It’s so hard to turn hatred toward them, but the time has come. They’ve turned into such dicks.

Struggling a bit to see how this story lends itself somehow to video. Is there a text based version of this?

As corporations and governments continue to to grow closer to being the same thing we should expect more and more comfort on their end with flat out lying to the same level that politicians have done for decades.

Even piracy subs need mods folks…

AF is considered to be the world’s most dangerous sport if you look at number of injuries weighted by severity. If you ask me, that’s precisely why it’s a “terrible sport”. Insinuating it’s lacking in some degree of toxic masculinity simply sounds ignorant.

Zuck should be put on suicide watch. He surely feels even worse than Swartz about what he has done.
