Piracy websites dont sell my data on what i like to watch.

They are good to avoid government surveillance.

Great for surveillance.

One can get someones browsing history from an ISP from a data broker and run queries on it.

Digital society under government surveillance is like that Marina Abromovic performance where they were free to do whatever they wanted with her while she couldnt react and they tried to kill her. If you enable the police, you just find they are a bunch of barely held back sadists.

I heard this at university from my professors, and I hated it so much, not just because I hate writing by hand, but because it never had any benefit for me.

In fact, writing by hand prevented me from paying attention, because I was writing nonstop with no pause to think. Instead, I didnt write anything, and got photocopies, improving my learning and grades.

The chicken sandwiches are tastier? This is paid influencer Chinese propaganda.

And controlled by megacorps and governments.

Wasnt there a whole genre of scifi warning us about this?

Instead of blaming corporations for following the law, blame the laws and the government for what they force others to do.

It is not up to corporations to decide which laws should be enforced, and this again shows how futile this specific kind of corporate resistence is.

Just change the law.

So? They have a bad argument for not including LAN, IMO.

Also, LAN parties.

Hm... maybe there is demand and they are not a savvy business person?

The website is wellmade and cool and stuff, but I am a bit tired of these all-quirky-in-the-same-way retro 1990s geocities homages...

Bing chat and chatgpt are complementary to duckduckgo, not substitutes.

If you search for teens, you actually get women in their 20s, which is a better result.

If you want women in their 30s, you can search for milf or wife.

If you want 40s, search for mature.

If you want 50s or older, search for gilf.

This is great news. Finally some accountability from what is almost a de facto organization that feels as big as Youtube.

Hopefully this will promote actual sex positivity.

VR headsets like the Quest have caused serious neck injuries with vigorous use.

Not buying it until it is very light.

I think it works great, though.

Different priorities.

I value more peace and quiet than money in the economy. We dont need that kind of trouble.

It's what makes Portugal a good place to live if you have money. It is like a poor Sweden. Not a poor NYC.
