He's taking cues from his idol, Musk, though. He's failing upright. That's how it goes for them, doesn't it? The more shittier you are, the more you somehow project success! Who knew? /s

They're going to train those AIs to be as degenerative as the Reddit users themselves, lol. Glorious.
Especially with how much it holds your hand in understanding how it works. I'd know, because I've used the damn thing.
I think the people getting stung by the commentary here, are really people who I've personally called out in my comment alone. They also don't like the truth of what's being told in general as well.
I've pirated for over 16 years myself and I know my end goal was always to get free shit, but it became more than that where I've started to pay attention about the scope of pirating. I got better and understood better as I went along. In other words, I'm more of a wary pirate these days than stupidly bumbling myself around and relying on all of these services to stay up forever, for my leisure.
The worst I've ever gotten in my entire history of pirating was just an ISP letter. A single letter. I didn't get fined, arrested, raided, dragged to court or anything. Done it all in America, the place where it was a hotbed where a lot of that was going on with other people caught downloading and uploading.
And I side with all of the pirates who're fighting a good fight by keeping the practice alive and duping the entertainment industry at every turn. I side with other wary pirates who'd scoff and cold shoulder the idiots who refuse to learn, hell that's why some places are fucking invite only, for christ sake! They don't want stupid scrubs coming into their turf and fucking things up for the rest of them and asking a hundred dumb questions they've don't got the time to answer. Especially when they've been answered as much as it's been asked!
I'll take those downvotes as admission of guilt, thank you.
You're very much on point. I see it all of the time, people are just holding out their hands more for free stuff than giving a single shit about the cause of piracy. "Plz give me link to download photoshop" or "plz give me seeds to download torrent of this AAA game, plz" almost all of the time. They decorate it through many guises of reasons but the bottom line is still the same - "I just want free shit".
And this year alone has seen a lot of awful losses for the pirating community as a whole. RARBG is gone, Uloz is gone (from what it once was anyways), 13DL is gone, Webtoon will soon be gone, Fmoviesto is gone. These are very huge sources of all of the pirated media we've taken for granted over the years. And when they all went down, one by one, the sentiment wasn't "awww, I'm going to miss them" in sincerity. It's more like "aww, now where will I get my free shit now?" and they offer absolutely no resolutions except for the more savvy folks.
I blame loud-mouth, entitled and selfish pirates for why these services get shut down. I blame them because they're the ones going around online just yapping and yapping, eventually it'll catch the interests of undesired people or people who are morally conflicted on piracy. They take action, for however long it takes, the service is shut down and everyone is shit out of luck.
They're the same idiots who storm to pirate communities all like "WHUT DU I DU? I GUT A LETTRH FROM MUH ISP AND I JUST DUWNLUDED SHIT" and 9 times out of 10, people have to spell it out for them that the reason they get caught is because of no VPN or mistrusting the wrong VPN services or not watching their fucking backs.
Now on the other hand, I will not jeer for the times pirating has it's victories, like this one. Because it'd be dismissive and ignorant to ignore the elephant in the room that the core reason why piracy still continues is become of the stomping of consumer rights and the draconian practices of the entertainment industry that not a lot of people are holding accountable for why shit is the way it is.
Uh, that's what the report button is for. Let me tell you something, you sound like the kind of person who go around calling people "soft" or "snowflake". You believe there should not be any cyber bullying laws. You believe everyone should just shut up and take it. But I bet you, you're the biggest snowflake of them all because as soon as someone dishes out what you give to others online, you'll be squealing to the moderators before you know it.
Don't lie to yourself, I see trashy people like you pull this kind of act all of the time. You're nothing special.
It's exactly how reporting shithead users online is like.
You report a stupid asshole, takes a long ass time to be dealt with.
They report you - record time.

You're not root, bruh.
Anytime a GOP politician is asked for a straight answer for why they do the shit they do.
Nintendo's first party games, their top priority is to make games as fun as possible. Looking for a Mario game to be 'good' in the standards of what you consider to be good, is like hoping one day a Kirby game becomes soulslike because you felt they're too easy. The thing with Mario games is that, everyone is going to have a handful of Mario games that they like and they'll have some that didn't do it for them. I personally think Super Mario World is some of the best well-packaged Mario games around and I think Mario Teaches Typing is hot garbage.

Yes it is because anyone would want nobody to know what's going on behind curtains or behind closed doors.
Also, you're going down a series of slippery slopes which is not making me take you seriously and you're going completely hyperbole here. You're acting as if places like Google are happily pitching people's data around and exploiting people for their own gain. You're taking the template of what a scammer/hacker would do and overlaying on Google, the two just can't compare. They operate under different things and they aren't the same.
You see, I trust Google/Discord/Telegram in the sense that they are in a way, protecting data. They may be harboring a lot, but they're miles better than some rando off in the middle of bumfuck nowhere with too much time on their hands who gets off on hoarding people's data for ammo/dirty laundry purposes. There's that difference again.
Also, in the event of online crimes being reported, it is necessary for that data to be tapped into and used against a violator online as evidence. So what are you saying, that we shouldn't collect data and allow online pedophiles not be recorded so that they can get off scot-free on preying on minors online?
I've been online for 27 years, dude. I'm not some shrub who's scared to look over my shoulder at everything because I know what the hell I'm doing. I really do have nothing to hide. I've pirated on open wi-fi networks, I've pirated on non-VPN connections and the worst I've got from it was a letter from an ISP telling me to stop. By the way, I've been pirating for 15 of those 27 years, mind you. Oh and yeah I've been a big asshole to people who've recorded me being said asshole. Are you saying also that people shouldn't be held accountable for their actions online if we don't record them? Pfffft...
Again, the worst thing corporations have done with our data so far, is just market to us. Things we can IGNORE and work around. Boo-hoo.
If you can't see between the lines at this point, then you're just lost.

I use both. Sometimes some people or services I e-mail through proton, don't really get through and it's annoying. It forces me to use GMail so that we can communicate better. I did a 2 year extensional trial of Proton to discover that I infact don't really store a lot of e-mail so I don't even find being restricted to 500MB as bothersome though I do upgrade to 1GB to be certain. I never ever see anything I store through e-mail exceed even 100MB.
The one thing I'll really accredit Proton for is that, I don't need mobile numbers or anything to register. Outlook, AOL, GMail .etc want to through you in a frustrating web of an obstacle course where you've "got to have" a back up, you've "got to have" a mobile number, you've "got to have" all of these unnecessary things to register. Even with the understanding that those e-mail services once not have those requirements before changing over, presumably over service abuses, there can be better ways.

I hate Google, the corporation and how they've long stopped tip-toeing the middle line of "don't be evil" because by law, corporations has to be evil in nature and Google has fallen into that. I only like Google for Mail, Voice, Maps, YT (acquired, I know) and it's syncing features. I've lived quite comfortably without a lot of it's tried and failed experimental services. I do feel it's search function has corroded into being borderline useless for a good long while now.
About the whole privacy issue, I argue that, even before Google, we've been handing our information over to many places online for decades. Wherever we register to post online to forums, wherever we want to shop online like Ebay .etc We've been doing it for a long time. It's only been like a few years before people realized this too late and it's like, dude, you're just knowing this now? I just think the people complaining a lot about privacy anymore are people whom I suspect have an interesting track record of malicious intent and purposes behind their actions at some level.
If the worst that Google can do is use my data to market to me in an annoying fashion compared to what the likes of fraudsters, scammers, online thieves can do to data through the black market, then it's hard for me to see Google as the enemy.
A bucket of piss.
Until I walk out of my apartment one day or another and someone just socks me in the face on a consistent basis, I don't really find the world incredibly hostile. That's just people buying what the media is selling.
sigh
We need to straighten up and realize what pronouns are worth keeping, redefine some that are better explained and stop introducing newer ones that come off incredibly pompous and pretentious. Any one is going to find fault in how they wish to be pronounced or identified by. And just because that someone is offended, doesn't mean we need to make an entirely new set of pronouns for them. That's their problem that they need to sort out and need to be much more transparent over than just walking on eggshells for.
I rarely upvote/downvote anything. I've upvoted posts or comments that have actually made me laugh or are very thought provoking.
Downvotes start coming when I think a post is very retarded and/or has wasted my time reading that it gets what it deserves. Oh and repeated posts that aren't structured very well that the poster could've taken some time to word better but you know they're rushing it for validity.
I've been in like, 3 or 4 of them so far. I can really see the value in a poly relationship but I find it, that it's incredibly challenging to maintain much less establish one. All of the ones I've been in, was where the individual wanting or orchestrating the poly relationship, was just a flat out cheater who wanted more than they can handle. My limit is no more than 2 other partners. The people I kept finding myself with, practically wanted like several partners too many and it just complicated things.
I'm open to being in a good one but I really don't know nor would I know anything or anyone that'd want a good stable poly relationship.
So, okay.
Let's say these film studios DO get 'permission' or 'access' of these IPs. Haven't we already proven in the court of law that IP Address does not equal a person? How come that is? Well, it's because people can hide under VPNs, they could use proxies, they could use open wi-fi, they can change their address by ISP request .etc
They aren't assigned permanent IPs and they aren't tied to their IPs through identity.
This whole effort is just a waste of their time, proving once again, that they're desperate for anything.
On the other hand, the r/piracy subreddit is full of entitled jackasses who pick you apart for stupid arbitrary reasons. I've posted news posts on there before as a means to inform the pirating community as to what to look for in case things could go wrong in the future, as a lead. And any time, people kept commenting like "WHUT DUS DIS HAVE TU DU WITH PIWACY?!" every fucking time.
I'd spell it out for them, I get downvoted, I get my post reported and it's removed. Seriously, fuck all of those e-begging pieces of shit.
