I’m going to come off as retarded but I have to ask: when did Signal get this bad rep? I remember not too long ago that it and Telegram were praised for their privacy practices. What happened for that to change?

How about for full album downloads?

As I grow older, the idea for privatizing your citizens health and well-being becomes more ridiculous.

My philosophy goes like this: Pay for the hardware, get the content for free.

Call me a loser for this one but I use the Pirate Bay for my high seas sailing. If there’s better avenues I would love to see it.

Sweet!

Noted.

How can I tell if a piece of physical media (Blu Ray in particular) has DRM on it as to avoid purchasing it?

Even then I’ll still pirate

You could say that’s… great news.

Noted as well.

I’ll keep that in mind.

I’m trying to reduce my car dependency and go car-free eventually but If I had to buy one more car it would be a pre-1995 Toyota pickup.

I’m glad that last week I decided to ditch Youtube proper and use the Invidious frontend instead.
