Dumb.

Incognito mode has always been intended for prying eyes using the same browser, and it works fine for that.

Pretty much. You can download images with everything bundled and ready to go (e.g., deploy a new container image instead of upgrading your Radarr version in place) and keep them separate (e.g., Torrent container goes through vpn but your media server doesn’t, Radarr upgrade going south won’t affect your Sonarr install, etc.)

Until some legal entity decides to raid the servers. Pray they do not keep logs of IPs. Though usually this may be (to some extent) a gray zone in some countries.

Can you give an example? I don’t think accessing a file somebody makes available has ever been an issue with copyright prosecution. They go after uploaders and hosts.

Even if they did, an IP in a server log isn’t definitive proof of an individual accessing something. However, I’m less confident of worldwide legal systems understanding that. Still, I’d be curious if there’s a single example of somebody being charged over accessing publicly accessible copyrighted files on the web.

I never said they’re exclusive; I use both in my workflow. The comment to which I replied made it seem like private trackers were the end-all though, which I took issue with.

I also think your upsides are a bit misleading. I wouldn’t use torrents without a VPN (upfront cash), and the effort to learn how usenet works isn’t any more daunting than the effort needed to get into good private trackers and keep up the ratios (e.g., tracking time/ratio based on tracker, working with hardlinks, etc.).

How to pirate movies as a pro

No mention of Usenet

Seriously. I’m running a Synology with 12x16TB. That’d buy a bunch of months of streaming services…but this way actually gives me content to watch that I want to watch.

Yeah, I’ve got a bunch of the annoyances filters active and don’t know if I could browse most websites without them at this point.

Is the last one still useful if you enable the cookies filter under annoyances in uBlock?

I finally played it for the first time a couple of years ago when the initial covid lockdowns granted me large chunks of free time. I was playing for a while, but never found myself intentionally grinding. Unlike a lot of games of that genre/era, it varies up the environments/enemies and progresses the story enough to grant enough xp while going the things you need/want to do anyway.

For a bit of context, just before Chrono Trigger, I tried playing through Phantasy Star II, a Genesis game from a few years earlier in the same genre/era…and I got maybe 15-20% through the game before realizing it was too grindy and just uninstalling it. I’m not coming into this with infinite patience or anything.

The snarky comment to which I referred was the top of this chain, and it certainly was snarky. It was also clearly a joke based in stereotypes.

You're the only one making assumptions here. You're assuming what I know about these people. I wouldn't let them borrow my AR if I didn't know they were good christian fellows.

AR + Texas makes it seem likely. What's the standard of proof for backing up a snarky internet comment?

It sucks to suck.

Same. That weird free game started a lifelong appreciation for the genre.

When an autonomous vehicle has that significant of a margin of error, who ends up being responsible for the accident?

There’s some details to be sorted out, of course, but this isn’t the major question people make it out to be.

When humans are involved, the driver is responsible.

As is the owner, at least in the US. People will stay responsible for their vehicles (and, more relevantly, for insuring them).

Is a manufacturer liable in the event of all autonomous vehicle caused accidents?

If it turns out to be a defect, of course they are. They are even without the vehicle having autonomy. If they become responsible for more of the vehicle’s performance, of course it stands to reason they’ll be responsible for more of the outcomes as well.

a huge selling point of autonomous vehicles has always been that they should be the safest form of piloting a vehicle.

Which is exactly why it is relevant to compare their safety to that of human drivers.

I think it incredibly damaging in the long run to have 50% of active users on this platform to be centralized on one domain.

I agree, but 50% is still better than 100%. I definitely appreciate that I’m reading about this while being totally unaffected personally rather than just disappearing entirely like what happens with a banned subreddit.

Unlike coal, energy from the wind or sun is unreliable…

That damned sun. Can never tell which days it’s going to come out or what direction from which it’ll rise.

fossil fuels are cheap and plentiful, thank goodness!

Yep yep, nothing stays consistently cheap like coal and gasoline.

These people are literally making it illegal to feed the homeless in places like Texas right now.

Even without the jesus stuff, how is the party of “limited government” and “rights of the people” going to tell me who I can/cannot give the last few slices of my pizza to while keeping straight faces?

The conclusion sums it up nicely enough:

The Government has proposed a standard, reasonable order that will streamline the flow of discovery to the defendant while preserving the integrity of these proceedings. The defendant has proposed an unreasonable order to facilitate his plan to litigate this case in the media, to the detriment of litigating this case in the courtroom. Normal order should prevail. No oral argument is necessary. The Court should enter the Government’s proposed protective order.

That’s kinda true of every movie after the first one though.
