My Android device has 128GB of internal storage, and I still could not imagine not having a MicroSD slot for additional storage.

Nah see, the pier can be used for both. Synergy.
Streaming.
It’s the new cable, in that it sells to customers based on intentional market fragmentation. It’s actually a worse, because anything you “buy” on a streaming platform is actually just leased.
Most of their entire business model relies on collecting data hand over fist, constantly. Hell, even actively not using their products doesn’t even make you safe.
This is the right approach, but also want to mention, some sites actively block VPN IPs. Sometimes I see 403s which don’t persist if I switch servers.
I mean, the point of Debian is stability. If I’m running Debian then I’m not even gonna want to try and install the thing until after I’ve seen 100 people use it. I don’t think they’ll be looking for it in repos.
I’m not sure that’s actually true. I’m not a lawyer but I suspect it would take more than an internet comment saying “I did it.”
Also, the elephant in the remains in the room: discussing piracy is not piracy.
Weird, I see “You will need to use a different service/company”
Windward is pretty fun and under the radar.
Sid Meier’s “Pirates!” is old as hell but still a great game.
Though I imagine that a lot of ongoing operations at the time probably had to be cancelled prematurely, the consequences of which might never really be known.
This is the fear that is always instilled in people whenever the government takes an L. I’m not saying it’s a false statement, but it’s also unsubstantiated.
It feels like the fun side of the cyberpunk dystopia we have seen in media before. Really it’s just the double plus unfun real dystopia.
One thing to keep in mind that may be relevant: copies of non-digital things are different than digital copies.
Digital (meant here as bit-for-bit) copies are effectively impossible with analog media. If I copy a book (the whole book, its layout, etc., and not just the linguistic content), it will ultimately look like a copy, and each successive copy from that copy will look worse. This is of course true with forms of tape media and a lot of others. But it isn’t true of digital media, where I could share a bit-for-bit copy of data that is absolutely identical to the original.
If it sounds like an infinite money glitch on the digital side, that’s because it is. The only catch is that people have to own equipment to interpret the bits. Realistically, any form of digital media is just a record of how to set the bits on their own hardware.
Crucially: if people could resell those perfect digital copies, then there would be no market for the company which created it originally. It all comes down to the fact that companies no longer have to worry about generational differences between copies, and as a result, they’re already using this “infinite money glitch” and just paying for distribution. That market goes away if people can resell digital copies, because they can also just make new copies on their own.
You also can’t do shit with their service, app and web, if you’re on a VPN. It just refuses. Even – and this may be illegal – unsubscribing from their emails.
