I would prefer the hypervisor. It’s cleaner to separate things that weren’t meant to mix in the first place.
Make sure that your gaming VM uses a real harddrive/SSD instead of virtual disk to prevent sluggish I/O.

I may lack imagination but I can’t see a future where the materials and skills needed to build such robots get cheap enough to replace humans.
Especially if they get trashed and stolen every once in a while.

I don’t think they really plan to replace workers with robots. It fulfills two other purposes:

• Keep the work force humble by threatening them with permanent replaceability.
• Keep the stock holders happy. This shit simulates “innovation” like the delivery drones 10 years ago.

Will they ever realise that every one would be better off if they made legally owning and consuming media easy and steamlined instead of spending billions on lobbying and propaganda?

Not only Canada, but also Japan and Europe.
The main difference is that these robots kind of deserve it. Not “personally” but for what they represent.

Companies like Amazon would do anything. Except paying living wages

Yes, you also need a usenet provider. Indexers are more like phone books/search engines to find the stuff you want.

Austria is atleast a real country (other than Bavaria) and from a recent travel to Vienna I can tell that Austrian is - while closely related to German - a language on its own.

It’s fascinating, I’ve heard it online and in person from multiple nationalities.
In our case it’s not so special because my mother tongue is German…

Atleast in countries with some sort of internet access. For example Cuba enjoyed current movies and shows despite a strict US/Western embargo through a combination of smuggled USB pen drives and a peer-to-peer radio network.

Mitochondria the powerhouse of the cell piracy.

The current system is far from perfect and needs an update but any change in their spirit would make things worse.

The audacity… If our technology isn’t allowed to break the law, it will fail. Therefore we should change the law.

You can always try out some premade blocking lists as someone who knows way better than both of us has probably already encountered the same problem.
You can also try to use wildcards with your blocking list as some ad and tracking companies add random alphanumeric characters to their URLs to circumvent blocking.

For optics only:
Use uBlock Origin, choose the object picker and remove the banner.

For real blocking: Use uBlock Origin and block the Google domains as suggested in another answer.

Itinerary is a terrible name for a terrific app that made traveling way less stressful for me.

This whole internet thing is just a trend and soon people will realise that nothing beats the real GOAT: two cans and some string.
Argh… scrap that, shouting really loud was the technological peak.
