Damn, the down votes. People really don't get sarcasm on the internet eh?

Why do folks hate crunchyroll here so much? I've been torrenting anime before like everyone else, but a couple years gap later I have found it more convenient to pay $9/mo or whatever and watch shows interchangeably on TV, PC, tablet and phone. I get it, I could do this using self-hosting with various tools, but all those have an upfront cost for a media server and time invested in figuring out how I can make it all work seamlessly on a 2017 LG TV, an iPhone, Linux and a shitty Samsung tablet, plus potentially subscription fee for seed box and/or VPN as well. Whereas crunchyroll just works and if I get tired of anime again, I'll just cancel the service.

The only thing I don't like about crunchyroll is the lack of dubbed kids shows.

And why would the process not show up in top?

It sounds like the problem is not with the feds but with the DMCA. It needs to be overturned.

Is the country of Linus beholden to sanctioning those countries?

I think the problem goes deeper. Their page tracks everything you do and then sells that data to third parties. UBO only blocks ads and tracking.

The only way to prevent linkedin from selling data related to you is to not use their site at all.

I see this shit about Chomsky being regurgitated like once a week somewhere, and every time I actually read the source material that someone like a YouTuber is referring to, I just come to the realization that people can't read for shit and don't understand philosophy and hypotheticals.

Not that I do, but Chomsky is definitely not full of shit, nor a genocide denier.

Dunno. But this post is about Linus Torwalds booting Russians from an open source project due to their association with a warmongering regime. It's nothing to do with the US.

All advice here seems to focus on linux, but I'd say rip that bandaid off first. Go cold turkey on roblox. That shit is the worst cancer to come out of something that was fun initially.

Not in four months to a year. Yesterday. Learn to control your impulses first and the rest will fall into place, whichever way you go.
