  • This is a very short sighted view of the situation at hand.

    The banning of books and literal re-writing of history in certain states should be concerning for anyone who realizes what a dark road we're headed down.

  • This entire article reads as a clear hit piece on Mozilla.

    The fact that Mozilla spends money on political activism and companies involved in things akin to that isn't some big revelation like the article makes it out to be.

    It's literally on Mozilla's website in great detail with the overarching goal of a free and open internet, which in the majority of countries requires political activism.

    Ridiculous frankly

  • The explainer may be sincere; however, it is clear that privacy and an open web are not in Google's interests. They contradict that sentiment in the explainer entirely. There's 0 reason for any one to give them the benefit of the doubt.

  • Here's my advice:

    • Don't torrent without a VPN, seriously!
    • +1 for Mullvad VPN, it's privacy focused and works great!
    • Use qBittorrent, it's the standard torrenting software that basically everyone uses nowadays. It's lightweight and reliable.
    • Make sure to set up qBittorrent after installing it, go into settings and bind your network interface to your VPN so even if your VPN is off accidentally or gets kicked off somehow you will be safe. You can also setup the "kill-switch" functionality in most VPNs so that it kills qBittorrent if it goes off, but that's not always 100% reliable.

    As far as Udemy courses, I've yet to find a good source for them myself, at least any relatively newer courses. I've never tried to find art courses but I'd say using a torrent search engine like Knaben or qBittorrent's built in search functionality.

  • What is the point of having cheap insurance options if said insurance does not cover or actually do anything? It's worthless junk literally! Instead of taking the insurance you'd be better off pocketing the money and forgoing it all together.

    I don't know how you can blame "Obamacare" for medical prices increasing when it is clear that they would have and will continue to rise no matter if "Obamacare" still exists or not. When healthcare is about profits and is a business, whether any of us live or die does not matter to these companies.

    Max Payne

    But dreams have a nasty habit of going bad when you're not looking.

    Any other fans of the Max Payne franchise here?

    Although it's unlikely to ever happen, I'd love to see a remake or even remaster of Max Payne 1 and 2! 3 could be remastered or remade as well but it's still new enough for now I guess and also playable on modern hardware without mods/issues.

    I think out of the 3 games, 1 is still my favorite all these years later, but 2 and 3 are masterpieces in their own right as well!

    And who could forget the forgotten treasure that was the Max Payne movie with Mark Wahlberg, Mila Kunis, Ludacris, etc. Middle-school aged me at the time was so hyped for that movie and enjoyed it although it got destroyed by reviewers.

    Give us a Max Payne TV show someone!

    AEW: Fight Forever

    This game came out today. I'm having a ton of fun with it so far, anyone else picked it up? I love all of the older AKI wrestling games and this pays homage to them well IMO

    A cool project I came across to connect to BBS's on modern systems

    Out of fascination I was scouring DuckDuckGo and random articles to find some modern software to connect to BBS's and came across SyncTERM Web Service on GitHub, which runs the SyncTERM terminal program in a full screen web browser.

    I'm going to give it a go later today! Figured I'd share it here for anyone who wants to play around with it.

    A nifty website I've been using to learn the basics of SQL

    I can't remember where I came across this website, but I love it and wanted to pass it along for anyone else learning SQL right now!
