The elderly are the problem. Many of them are hoarding all of the dog food for themselves to have cheap and easy meals in retirement. At this point there is none left for the pupperinos.

Basically, your VPN just replaces your ISP. So for example, if I want an ISP that’s okay with piracy a VPN can be3 a good option.

Your IP address is not how you are spied on for the most part. It’s more browser fingerprinting. So a VPN can offer a false sense of security when really enhancing your privacy is a lot less passive than that. Overall it can help but it’s not a magic privacy button.

Also entities like the NSA with a “god’s eye view” can just track you anyways. Even if the VPN service wasn’t compromised, they can just watch traffic going in and coming out and correlate it to you. It offers basically no protection from high-resource adversaries.

I think the effect that generative AI has had on the ability to steal from hardworking content creators is worth more than $5 billion to these demons.

Yeah OP if DBT helps, give buddhism a try.

DBT is basically just buddhism secularized.

My immigrant coworkers constantly talk about how bad DEI is and they include themselves in it. There isn’t even a sense of themselves being an exception. The vibe is literally “I shouldn’t have this job”.

Searx is an alternative meta-search engine that can include google results. If you don’t want to host an instance you can find one here: https://searx.space/

I like https://searx.work/ personally.

Offering workers an hourly wage is a huge win for Biden. A lot of people say these industries won’t self-regulate but this proves that pressure can accomplish big goals.

Basically Nexus/STC is an attempt to recreate sci-hub but in a decentralized manner. Everything is mirrored on IPFS which in my opinion is not that great but it gets the job done. Sci-hub has been frozen since 2021 so new papers are not available. As time progresses, sci-hub becomes less and less useful.

Scientific articles are crowd sourced instead of scraped. If the article isn’t on there it can be requested. They also mirror libgen databases.

Also it’s named Standard Template Construct as a Warhammer reference.

Here is a link on how to use it.
