They had me in the first half, not gonna lie.

Not that I’m an .ml member but, thanks for considering this in the first place.

Good ol’ rtorrent never dissapoints. For when I want something with a webui, I have a qflood container that I extracted from its old *arr setup to more generalistic usage.

Go to uBO’s dashboard, disable scripts, reload. Or just set browser to Reader Mode. Somehow, works over 75% of the time.

Gotta be honest and admit it took me more than 4 seconds to get it.

Everyone has already given their response so there’s nothing really to add other than, well, there’s lots of reasons to justify piracy. Most of them are even provided by the publishers / distributors themselves!

Also it’s weird to browse the top 10 responses or even below, and NOT see this xkcd posted or even linked. What is going on, Lemmy?

Well you are certainly dragging your self.

Even if he’s in court he’s still innocent, until (or even after) the court pronounces themselves. Courts don’t somehow magically generate a quantum state of truthfulness, they only declare legal terms.

Wait, serving a legal notice can be made transitive to people not part of the legal system?

Like, I could just sue someone the other end of the country and then arrange things so that the notice is delegated to my landlord if (small if) they’re being a jerk?

Poor grandma, receiving a visit from the Yakuza for Xmas…

Shame on Nintendo. As per usual.

Well, on my phone that back in stock could only do up to Android 10, Lineage gives me Android 11 (maybe 12, haven’t checked) so it’s still a serious win.

Now, if you insist that I shall have an up-to-date device from the official manufacturer with all the bloatware, same planned obsolescence and zero control, or even worse a 4× overpriced Pixel, maybe you are so assured of this superiority that you’d be willing to fund it?

Security-wise you’re better off using whatever OS comes with your device

So, Android 9 / 10?

I’m sure not as heck going to spend zillions on a new phone (or a hard-to-find used one) when the one I have still works perfectly.

(IIRC) it’s even worse than stock because you can’t lock the bootloader after installation.

That’s a problem with the phone manufacturer, not with Lineage.

An used Pixel, assuming I can find one in my country, still costs four (4) times what I need to shell out for a in-market Lineage compatible phone.

Theoretical security is cute, but it has to be adjusted to practical feasibility. The most secure computer in the world is useless to you if you can’t boot it up.

Nothing too hypothetical nor an “insane” level of work. Didn’t Israel do just that with some beepers to blow up children?

that is not required to access the internet

Tell that to the 12345678x captchas and “unblock challenge” notices I get whenever I try to browse common sites on the internet!

I mean, if you have a better incentive to discourage class traitors, go ahead. I’m hoping for what little we have.

Hopefully whoever called the tip gets doxxed.

Feel free to not condonde the murder of an innocent all you want, but that’s another case, not this one.

You’re arguing that people don’t have free will

[citation needed]

I’m arguing that free will has limits in reality. Blaming people for stuff that is literally above their paygrade (not to mention designed and programmed against them) is some ruling-class schmuck.
