You might just be the target audience for one punch man

Because it slides down the tongue

This is really cool, getting silicon valley vibes. I’ll hop on the network tomorrow

The absolute low of this for me is that I’ve noticed people censoring the word ‘porn’. You’re obscuring the word that describes the already censored thing, why censor the word itself? It’s not even a swear word (which to me don’t make much sense in censoring in the first place)

I’ve modded it on Linux, it’s not much different or more difficult. There’s an article how to set it up here

Very much this. See UK’s legislation for terrorism and activism and how it’s being used to squash peaceful protests for a current example.

What you should want instead is widespread independent journalism along with a transparent government, national broadcasting and a well educated, critically thinking society. If you try to control information by omission and restriction, you only make it more appealing as it seems like a cover-up. Example: how many times have you heard of the Epstein files in recent months and years? It could’ve been a grocery shopping list and the effect would’ve been the same because of how it’s been handled.

In my head canon that was an evil laugh and no one can convince me otherwise.

If you find torrenting and running a VM too technical, I’m sorry to say you’re better off not trying to identify and remove any malicious code.

Don’t put yourself down and waste your money, you can get over the learning curve for this, it’s not that steep.

To elaborate, as the previous reply stated, running the cracked programs inside a virtual machine allows you to isolate an environment specifically for this usage. Configured properly (another reply went into more detail here), even if the cracked software has something malicious, it can’t harm you. So you can safely ignore wether there’s a virus or not.

Run it inside a VM? If you’re suspicious or just worried, this would resolve most if not all of possible worries you may have.

I think this highlights the big problem with Op’s question: it’s not all about plot, character development can be as satisfying and as important even if the world objectively doesn’t change.

Edit: by this i mean your point on The last of us

Way to throw that big dick energy on OP’s face…

The fork button exists for a reason…

How do you go about finding and joining such a venture

You’ve fallen victim to propaganda, my friend.

It’s only mandatory if they survive the fall…

There’s no fullproof way. Even if you somehow block every crawling automation, there’s still puppeteering where the bot behaves just like a normal user.

As someone who works for a paywallled website, that’s hardly a deterrent. If the site is important enough, they will pay for accounts and crawl until the server melts

The problem is not the functionality, it’s the business model.
