Valve, as they aren’t actively trying to scam their potential user base

I love Valve, but let’s face the reality here. They’re operating an unregulated bank and casino.

This trend is not limited to windows. Try to open a notepad or a calculator on any modern linux distro. 3-5 seconds. And it’s getting worse with snaps and flatpacks.

I see the price as $21.91 in the search result page. After clicking on it, it returns error 403.

land is still within the borders of a country unless they are on some unclaimed island somewhere

There will always be a bigger bully laying claim on any interesting piece of land. See the conflicts in Ukraine, Myanmar, Sudan, Taiwan, Palestine… It doesn’t mean their claim has any moral basis.

only if they totally forfeit the right to any services, privileges, etc.

Fully agree. Right after the governments gives up their monopoly on certain services, and stop cheating the market by nationalizing the land for certain kinds of projects. It’s hard to compete with an entity that can just steal the land and negotiate the price later.

Be careful. Having ownership of your resources allows you to take your stuff, or sell it, and try something else somwhere else. If all the resources are communal, it is harder to escape if the things go south. One of the reasons why is it difficult to leave certain kind of cults.

Bad bot!

Multiple good hypotheses here. I’d like to add my own. The governments can be viewed as a modern iterations of religious cults, and there is no bigger taboo in a religious organization than questioning the basic dogma.

Try to question democracy in a democratic republic and you immediately get the weird looks, and irrational dismissal. 9 times out of 10 this self preservation instinct is good and beneficial to everyone involved, because giving a benefit of doubt to closeted authoritarians would be a mistake. That one time somebody really wants to have an honest discussion, it simply sucks.

If it does not help, try limiting the maximum number of active connections in qbittorrent.

Yes. Because the value if everything is relative.

You’ve just used the word “normie”. Why would anyone even read the rest of the post?

When you stop voting for maniacs messing with our monetary sytem, we can shut the bitcoin down. Until then, hands off my sudoku.

Serves it right! :D

The opposite. I’m afraid I will waste my life procrastinating, not even being aware of what it has to offer.

Yet somehow the same people can be trusted to select the best among them to make the rules for everyone.

Not sure about the human speech, but there is a certain mongolian string instrument able to perfectly immitate a horse. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v4xZUr0BEfE (4:41)

I sense huge r/antiwork vibes. I hope it will be at least as much fun.

Don’t forget the occasional random feeling of guilt!

Just make sure any power saving features are disabled. That is, if the 3000km journey to wiggle the mouse is not on your bucket list.
