Even Denmark couldn’t handle the heat! Can you?!
No one. No one remembers it fondly because it’s got a “quirky” name. That’s not how software works. People use software because it’s useful. Not because it’s edgy or has memorable branding. I would rather a competent design tool period. The name is irrelevant. We aren't selling cookies or an energy drink. We are empowering people to get things done. You think your spoon with a hole in it is going to sell because you call it “Faggot”?
Dude was dating a 16y old I believe when he was near 40. In fact, if you look at the female secondary cast (like Jerry’s love interests), they all got increasingly more beautiful as the show went on, where he was basically casting models near the end.
Dude is a pedophile but since he was making $1m per show and Hollywood is just a scum bucket, he was featured on People and the media was like awwwww, Seinfeld found love!
This planet tho.
They have servers specifically for port forwarding and P2P traffic
Sadly with Mullvad closing port forwarding, they are one of the only ones you can torrent with. In all honesty, if it's torrenting setting up a seedbox is really the way to go.
IF you want to get down the rabbit hole of expectations. I lose 34% off my pay. Like that. Poof. Taxes. I lose another 50% of what’s left to rent and groceries (not eating out). That doesn’t cover internet or utilities. Then transportation. And that’s just essentially living. My place isn’t all that.
And now you want me to pay for every website I visit. Or every service I use? Or I don’t use them and just go back to “essentially being alive.”
And I’m in the top 20% of income earners according to recent stats, which is insane because I’m not making fuck you money.
I think the real issue is greed. There’s no need for Disney+ to cost $20 a month. There’s no need for me to pony up another $1.5 a month to get 50GB of storage instead of the 5GB they know you’ll outgrow in a week. There’s zero need to pay $18 a month for a blue checkmark. They tell you it’s because it costs lots and lots of money to operate and the ads just barely cover our costs. Sure.
It’s just greed. It’s all just amoral, unethical, greed. Right on up from the rent/mortgage to all the shit you buy or “consume.”
We saw this surge with COVID, GME, crypto, NFT, absolutely wild, insidious, and morally bankrupt schemes exposing just how much wealth is pooled away from working class (they actually call them ‘dark pools’, where money goes and disappears). Something clicked. And it became a feeding frenzy where everyone is just steadily driving up prices, but not a single company is unprofitable. All the lay offs? None of those tech companies were in trouble. In fact, most made record profits!
Elon investigated himself and said he found no evidence of wrongdoing tho!
Like when the RIAA/MPAA were suing people for $300k per song 🤪
Never mind fake browsers, fake OSes. When do you see Windows or macOS or Linux on anything in movies. They always replace the OS with some super futuristic cyber system.
No issue here. If you don’t like the new terms, just decline and toss all your smart home appliances that you spent your hard earned money on right into the trash.
See, no problem!

As a non bug eating person, this makes me happy
Fuck. I was hoping Elon had a meltdown and made it mandatory.
Not that Elon having some of your more pedigree info could possibly ever go wrong!

Every website is safe or not safe on its own merits. Their location makes little difference as far as you're concerned despite the people here replying that Russia can redirect you (news flash: every government on the planet can; it's how DNS works). Russia is far easier of a country to pirate from. And that's the most important part to you: how a government treats piracy. The US is a far less safe place because they favour corporate greed above all else. Russia, not so much.
I'm sure there are some here who could debate this endlessly but you need to treat every website as its own sovereign space. Failing that, you also need to take the area it's in into consideration should you have any legal disputes. For example, let's say a website is hosted in a country that has a lax view of cyber law enforcement and this site is selling images you took as photographer. You send endless DMCA notices but because they don't really have a governing body to handle this crime, your photos are never taken down. Contrast this to the US, which actually does enforce such laws and will actively penalize and even shutdown hosting providers, your DMCA notices are taken much more seriously.
None of this impacts piracy. And if you give out your CC number to any pirate site, US, RU, CA, you run the risk of it being compromised. The rest really doesn't concern you.
Some have claimed that Russia redirects websites, etc. but again, that has nothing to do with piracy. And they certainly don't steal every website and send you to their own versions via DNS redirects. That's insane. Now if you want to say that disproportionately, Russia has more scam websites, I can believe that. Or that their country doesn't really use the advanced encryption and security measures to protect your private details (CC, name, phone number etc.), I can believe that too. But to claim that Russia itself is doing a ton of shady shit to trap you seeding a torrent and then sending the KGB to assassinate your family... that's some real tinfoil hat stuff.
Just use the standard protective measures you would use anywhere else (VPN, never give out CC or real name, etc.) and you'll be fine.
I prefer yandex for piracy. If you search "Furiosa x265 torrent download" you get pages and pages of hits. Run the same search on DDG (Bing) or Google and there won't be a single torrent hit because their search engines have long removed any pirate related content and monitor for it to protect their investors.
