You misread, which is understandable since you’re not a corpo law veteran. Full self driving means you can drive yourself without ai assistance if you choose to. No other manufacturer has marketed such a feature and Tesla is proud to bring this feature to market.

Getting “Tor is pentagon spyware” vibes from OP

Tor network could always use more obfuscation.

Proton is the only one I know of who takes mailed cash.

This was all an opsec problem. And not even an “exposed my ip address because a software bug leaked it” it was an “here’s my usual email address in case I get locked out”.

The cops didn't need to break into proton email. They just asked the backup email address for that stuff.

It literally easier to crack

It is not easier for almost every human on the planet.

Super easy to get a napkin idea started. Then it picks up steam and suddenly it’s a million lines of code, with hundreds of users. And now it’s a big headache to migrate when shit just works as is in GitHub.

GitHub knows how their customers work.

Consider online file converters. Just pay for a month or two, obviously need a good internet connection.

People have and will be executed for dumber reasons.

White rich girl picked you out of the lineup. Don’t worry, DNA science won’t prove you’re innocent for another decade after justice has been carried out.

It’s not that hard to understand:

Development of games requires resources. More resources trends with better games (coin flip). If every player pays, the game development gets the best possible quality. And artists get to keep their electricity bill paid for the week.

Denuvo argues that their product guarantees the most resource extraction possible. This is debatable, and I personally lean on the side that it’s not as effective for revenue collection as advertised.

Nobody got rich being honest.

Turns out the powershell step is enough to get 97% of users to shell out cash.

And also, the biggest source of revenue is institutions who either will pay for the enterprise license, or can be sued for a good payday if they try to pirate.

There are a lot of interesting comments there as well for those who are interested.

The comment I liked best is:

There isn't one. The purely decentralized model of eMule and gnutella and similar systems has proven to perform poorly compared to the bittorrent/tracker model, for searches in particular. You can almost completely avoid trackers with DHT and magnet links, the tracker pages just "advertise" the torrent.

If you want alternatives, the main one with significant traffic is Freenet. Freenet is really slow and mostly CP (because everyone else is using torrents).

retroshare, which is more for private sharing, has already been mentioned.

My own opinion? Torrents require minimal resources from users other than sharing the specific file. Advertising the file, tracking the file, searching for the file can be passed on resource wise to a trusted person who wants Internet karma. The simple statement: have a ratio of 1.0 can resonate with most 🦍.

Bemoaning the unpopularity of eMule seems to me like another case of programmers ignoring what makes humans tick.

Cause the laws of physics as we understand them selected for those configurations during and after the Big Bang.

It’s part of getting a traffic ticket. Agree, confess, mail your check to the judge. Or take time off to show up and contest it.

It’s means the government can watch you visit the porn site. The rest is their imagination.

Postman tracker is the main one on i2p.

And the longer your i2p runs, the faster its connection.

For grabbing a torrent anonymously, there is nothing better.

Tribbler has a similar idea, but as they state in their website nothing has actually been tested against a motivated hacker earning big bucks from Hollywood. And their default settings just expose your ip address.

It’s a much slower change than a single executive wanting a bigger payout yesterday.

Like the Bible thumpers banning all the escort sites. When the FBI told them not to because it would make catching the traffickers harder, and now it’s harder.

I2P has a built in torrent client.

But you need a computer running 24/7. With i2p, the longer your session runs, the better the connection.

They’re closer to a cooperative.

Patient with a security clearance job:

Fantastic day (dead inside)
