This is a different country, and different culture. It's been in the news for years now that Koreans are literally working themselves to death. To the point they just fall over and die. There's been many protests trying to get the government to step in and change things, but so far capitalism has done its thing and people are still dying. If they don't keep working, they lose their livelihoods. Some people work 80 hour work weeks in dangerous conditions, just to barely afford an apartment not much bigger than a closet. There's no other option for them, except to starve.

If you want more context, there's quite a few good documentaries on YouTube about the issue.

Open the extension settings, purge the filter lists and then update them all. I was getting warnings and I did this, and I haven't had any further warnings.

This happened with bananas, and is still happening. It basically wiped out the most popular kind of banana globally decades ago, and it never recovered.

That's a lot of work. I can't imagine putting that much effort into downloading, not when Usenet doesn't require anything but a couple dollars a month.

Yeah, the issue is with going through every service you've used that you might use again and changing the email. That can take many hours, depending on how many sites you have an infrequent need to use.

Isn't that the instance that had the admin who threw a fit about the NSFW lemmy? And doubled-down when it was pointed out they were wrong? The whole point is he wants an instance where people aren't gonna defederate for stupid reasons.

The short answer is no. Why would you even ask that? Piracy is never safe, and you take responsibility for downloading stuff based on nothing more than the word of strangers you'll never meet that it's not infected with something that's going to steal your banking information.

What do you mean, no competition? SwiftKey was the first to have swipe typing, and still does it best, because it learns how you swipe and adjusts itself for that.

I mean, a VPN protects you from a lot more than just copyright trolls. Even if you're not sailing the high seas, it's better to have one than not.

Report them so they can just die from heatstroke instead? Bet you call the cops on single mothers shoplifting food for their kids too, don't you?
