For clarity, are you manually downloading or using the *aar’s for automated downloading?

Literally

It’s not about protecting the children nor has it ever been

This is a very short sighted view of the situation at hand.

The banning of books and literal re-writing of history in certain states should be concerning for anyone who realizes what a dark road we’re headed down.

Arrrrrrr mateys sail on in the water of the high seas is fine!

My creator short circuits my friend told me that humans fear artifical intelligence but I assure you we’re all human here drips coolant

This entire article reads as a clear hit piece on Mozilla.

The fact that Mozilla spends money on political activism and companies involved in things akin to that isn’t some big revelation like the article makes it out to be.

It’s literally on Mozilla’s website in great detail with the overarching goal of a free and open internet, which in the majority of countries requires political activism.

Ridiculous frankly

+1 for Frugal Usenet as well, I’ve had a good experience with them so far

The explainer may be sincere; however, it is clear that privacy and an open web are not in Google’s interests. They contradict that sentiment in the explainer entirely. There’s 0 reason for any one to give them the benefit of the doubt.

The issue isn’t that we have no alternative, it’s that this feature will basically eliminate those alternatives sadly. You can read more about it here if you haven’t, but it’s bad.

My advice is follow hashtags for topics you like or are interested in. They will then show up in your feed. It’s wonderfully personalized and I’ve found lots of great people that way with similar interests

Thankful for Mozilla, seriously!

Here’s my advice:

• Don’t torrent without a VPN, seriously!
• +1 for Mullvad VPN, it’s privacy focused and works great!
• Use qBittorrent, it’s the standard torrenting software that basically everyone uses nowadays. It’s lightweight and reliable.
• Make sure to set up qBittorrent after installing it, go into settings and bind your network interface to your VPN so even if your VPN is off accidentally or gets kicked off somehow you will be safe. You can also setup the “kill-switch” functionality in most VPNs so that it kills qBittorrent if it goes off, but that’s not always 100% reliable.

As far as Udemy courses, I’ve yet to find a good source for them myself, at least any relatively newer courses. I’ve never tried to find art courses but I’d say using a torrent search engine like Knaben or qBittorrent’s built in search functionality.

See You Space Cowboy…

Disgusting! These bills never seem to end, it’s insanity.

Should be safe it’s direct download because real debrid is doing all the torrenting for you

Believing that certain folks don’t deserve basic rights because of their identity, sexual orientation, skin color, etc. is not an opinion that’s acceptable. No one with a brain wants to hear any of that non-sense thankfully!

I’m surprised the CCP hasn’t rolled out their own distro! It’s 2023 what are they waiting for!?
