Downloading books needs to be the norm for education.

It's disgusting how we create this culture where those who have wealth get priority access to knowledge that will help them further their wealth.

Publishing shouldn't even be an industry in 2025.

Or 2024... 2023... etc etc.

Man this generation sucks.

The disparity in wealth should shrink instead of grow.

Sharing software is a tool to achieve that end.

You can also make a torrent very easily, which is the better method.

New yorkers have a reputation for being rude and inconsiderate, even among Americans.

I think the city is a cesspit and breeds apathy among anyone who isn't a part of the ruling class. Poor souls.

Lol. I don't agree with what this user said, but he should be allowed to say it.

Tired of all this censorship of opposing views. Let me decide for myself what I get to see, damn it!

These Linux computers are always scams.

We get worse hardware for higher prices, and they don't even have to pay for the OS.

Yes, any laptop without an encrypted storage drive will have its data accessible by someone booting from a live USB.

It really is a massive vulnerability, but it's not well known because so few people even understand the concept of a 'live USB' to make it a widespread threat or concern.

So yeah, if you're ever in possession of a Windows machine that doesn't have an encrypted disk, you can view the users' files without knowing their password via a live USB.

It's also not limited to laptops.

Zross?

X-Cross?

X-ross?

Oh, it's just pronounced Cross. Always unsure how people who make decisions like these get the jobs they do.

It's like, they're rewarded for being stupid.
