A photo of you and your family with a dollar bill in a ziploc. "Hope this antique has value now!"

This is going to sound unbelievable, but believe it or not, they lie.

Yes, I pirate for many reasons. Money used to be the main one when I didn't have any. Today, fortunately, I'm doing very well, but I still do it because it's much more convenient than adapting to each of the streaming platforms, or because I access uncensored material (music and shows). For example, I'm a big fan of South Park, and the only way to access several episodes is by pirating them. My family pays for the family plan of all the major streaming services, so if I wanted to access them legally, I could, but God, I'll never do it. I really find it all pathetic.

Regarding software, I try to avoid using anything that requires payment. I donate anonymously to many open-source projects: Cryptomator, GrapheneOS, Electrum, Veracrypt, Librewolf, WG Tunnel, and VLC. I pay for the premium versions of Bitwarden and ProtonMail. And that's it, that's all.

If someone is spying your PC you have bigger problems than your VPN account being stolen.

They are leading in the right direction. I think that's the important.

Oh my god, people here are so over theirself it's so sad.

Enjoy it or stop watching. You don't need to suffer.

I loved old Futurama, and I choose to watch the new episodes because I really like the show. Some more than others, that's it. I'm really grateful they are making more episodes.

In Europe you own your data. Don't you have the California act or something like that there?

Hello everyone,

I've been using Standard Notes on the recommendation of Privacy Guides since the beginning of this year, I believe, and it has truly been a fantastic experience. It serves my purpose perfectly, is truly cross-platform, open source, and lightweight. It was a real find, and I couldn't be happier to have it installed. However, it seems that they are planning to change the licensing to one that restricts companies from abusing their code (which makes sense), but I wanted to know if this goes against the guidelines in terms of considering it recommendable.

I don't really understand licenses, so correct me if I'm wrong, but with this change if the project becomes private, a fork couldn't be created for all users who want to continue having the software format but not the backend... Is that correct?

Thanks

Is there any app like Fritter? I mean, I need Twitter for my job, but in a passive way. What is the best option without login in the official app or website (Linux/Android).

Thanks!

The only answer for what you are looking is Signal (user base). The next thing would be Whatsapp, so .... Signal... Just signal.

Hello, I try to keep my Debian laptop as private as possible, but for work, I need to use Windows software, so I run a VirtualBox with Windows 11. My PC runs smoothly without any issues, but I need to access my specific hardware USB ports, and it doesn't recognize them. I read that I need to install the Extension Pack, so I downloaded it, but before installing it, I get a warning message that seems to suggest I'm accepting some risk to my computer. I don't really understand this stuff, so I wanted to ask the following:

Is there any security or privacy risk associated with the VirtualBox Extension Pack?

Is there any other way to access my USB-C devices without installing it? (I've already tried selecting USB 2.0 and 3.0, but the list shows "no device available").

Thank you very much to whoever responds.

PS: Also I found this on the Internet: "The user agreement VirtualBox extension pack states of sharing a user’s data to the US govt. including the hardware information and so on. Does it make sense even if I use Tails/Whonix for anonymity?" :-/
