All the people saying “I’ll just stop using it, no big loss,” are you only using YouTube for fun? Have you never needed to pass a class, prep for a job, work on a house, learn a skill using it?

It is such a large repository of human knowledge that is so far not widely replicated anywhere else. I rely on it for learning skills to provide for my family, as far as learning other useful abilities.

For example, YouTube taught me how to service my own vehicles. I have a specific set of old 90s Volvo cars, and there is a youtuber (Robert DIY) who does an excellent job documenting how to do maintenance on them. I have done my best to archive everything he posts, but he is just an example, as there are countless other informative tutorials and how-tos posted on YouTube.

As of now, Google has their grips on an enormous amount of practically useful data, and they know it. It’s beyond fucked, and to act like it is inconsequential or ignorable is very short sighted.

Your actions make you a leech on the system we participate in, “pirate streaming” is definitely leeching. Read the context before you reply.

Its truly so sad seeing mullvad recommended all over piracy websites…

You have no idea what this community is about, clearly. Keep on enjoying your leeching, just don’t act like you could do it without actual seeders and archivers doing the work.

So much upvotes/activity from people on these kind of empty headlines, and it just weakens the cause against fascism in my eyes.

What about github? With all the more open git alternatives, why pick the code management tool hosted and controlled by Microsoft for open source / piracy?

Looks cool. I will take a look when the backend is open sourced for sure. Prep for some tough times legally if you continue to use those centralized social platforms.

Look up the black hebrew Israelite movement. It’s really a weird phenomenon.

Except that Mullvad is hostile to the torrent infrastructure since there is no port forwarding. No thanks!

Curious, why is Stremio “sketchy af?”

Front trunks save lives in collisions though. I’d 100% rather be in a vehicle with a hood between me and another car, and I say this as an avid kei-truck fan.

Not sure I understand how you are reading the article. That’s like saying having a steak knife in your home is a factor in proving elements of a crime. Tools are completely neutral parties that are unrelated to prosecution, and encryption should be no different.

Doing crime in the privacy of my own home allows me to get away with it and commit more crime, doesn’t mean we should have transparent walls that everyone can watch what you do through.

I hate these misleading headlines. It is just so justifying to the magats when articles like this are touted against them. They do plenty of clearly illegal shit, lets stick the headlines like this on those other cases.

You would not be able to accomplish this without an inverter setup. The only way those little powerbank things work is because those panels barely charge the bank, and the charging happens at a trickle rate that doesn’t harm the cells with current variation.TLDR the power bank is just normal battery cells, the panels are just a bit gimmicky.
