How are Canada’s wildfires “Americans destroying themselves?”
I hated this one the most
Thinking of people in terms of good and evil will only lead you to oversimplification and dehumanization of others. Your family is not the enemy. Your family is your family. And it sounds like they care about you.
Systemic issues are far more important than individual issues
Good ol “not all Trumpists, covid conspiracy theorists, and anarcho-capitalists are fascists, but all fascists are Trumpists, covid conspiracy theorists, and anarcho-capitalists.”
Agreed. Private-owned AI competing against humans for limited jobs in a capital based market is a nightmare.
Public-owned AI producing and providing for all is not.
AI was trained on the work of millions and is inhuman in its productive capabilities. It has no business being private owned
There’s controversy over whether VPN + TOR is a good combo. Some say it’s an added layer of anonymity, others say it could be decreasing anonymity because your VPN could be logging your traffic. Some also say the two don’t mesh well. But honestly the juries out so everyone should probably come to their own conclusion
Also, how do I safely download from these sites?
I thought there was a mirror on lemmy for r/piracy’s spectacular megathread but I don’t see it. Rough guides from a semi-noob:
Direct download:
TOR with Ublock Origin add-on
After downloading your file, upload it to virustotal.com and scan it. If it passes you’re probably pretty safe.
Torrent:
Find and copy your file magnet in TOR.
Turn on VPN.
Open qbittorrent with your connection bound to your VPN’s network.
Paste your magnet link when it prompts you and download.
Once it’s done downloading, upload it to virustotal to scan it.
Dark Souls: should I pick up I or III?
For context, I never got into DS until I played Elder Scrolls, which I’ve been obsessed with
