After some more thinking, I guess the original piracy has to come from somewhere :)
Firipu
Genuine question : why not just download a pirated version of the book then? Seems like a huge hassle for the same end result
The irony of this movie poster mockup being AI generated cracks me up.
Being overly Paranoia? Can't think of another valid reason.
I use a seedbox abroad and secure ssh to transfer stuff to my own server. Don't see what additional security a vpn would give me.
Really? Been using a logitech trackball at work for 14 years now. My k750 keyboard lasted me almost 10y until the battery completely gave up and I wanted to upgrade. My Mx keys has lasted me for years since.
Similar stories for my mice, none of them have failed, I've only upgraded because I wanted lighter, more/less buttons or for other reasons.
Fair enough. I'm raising my kids in a similar fashion. I dislike the sexual repression in the west (from which I unconsciously still suffer). But I'm still worried about other boys :)
Until your daughter comes home with a boyfriend with a fucked up sense of what sex is and ruins her day/week/month/year/life.
I'm certainly not pro government tracking anything I do, let alone porn watching, but if I see how my own kids get exposed to it through friends. No matter how much I try to educate them, friends still show them absolute vile stuff...
I wanted to vote for them, I did so last time, but they didn't appear on the ballot in my country this time. Couldn't vote for them...
Been using it for close to 10 years. Never had a single serious issue with it. Apps break now and then. A simple reboot of the server or the app fixes it every single time.
A lot of public torrents download and seed at insane speeds. Like "must be in the same building or even the same disk" speeds.
To be fair, I've been using windows since 3.1. I haven't paid for windows since xp I think. I got an oem key second hand right around w7 for my desktop. That key has just lasted me all the way to w11. So I haven't paid ms anything either in decades (except for my personal data I guess?)
To be honest, books are the only form of media I don't pirate. They deserve my money. Sucks that I have to use big shops to get them digital, but it's so easy...
