There’s also the old dns solution. That’s what I did when they tried to block torrent sites before.

You poor thing. Thoughts and prayers

We can go even deeper

Where?

Got any suggestions how to get started on that?

Removed by mod

Sure it does. You use prowlarr to automate connections. It doesn’t actually make a connection to a particular tracker or use net host though. It just instructs your regular download client to download from a given source. If you want to use a source that is not listed, you can just add it yourself.

I guess they don’t want anonymous reasons for security reasons. Which is somehng I can understand

This is rubber ducking made real.

So that makes it okay? I guess it does, because what is a soccer match without the traditional police interventions, amiright?!

The Dutch hooligans were literally picking up tourists from the street, asking them to show their passports to prove they weren’t Israeli. I’m up for a debate, but reconsider you tone!

Discrimination is bad, you should just kill all civilians equally

That’s not an argument. Not every Israeli is a nazi. You can’t just go around beating up Isrealis because they’re from Israel. But yeah, it’s disgusting how they’re just constantly hiding behind antisemitism like it’s their get-out-of-jail-free-card

This is a whole lot of bullshit. The first arguments are the only real arguments for large enterprises. Maturity, stability and broad adaptation. And maybe the fact that Oracle can be bribed to keep releasing security patches for long obsolete jdks

That is exactly what a “social issue” is. Bigotry, racism, sexism, all “social issues”. They’re not political issues, or economic issues or environmental issues. No, they’re social issues. Issues where people with differing social values cannot come to an immediate agreement. A social issues.

Moderating these issues are a notorious problem for all social media platforms. It’s been a topic of debate,even political debate for years now. Mostly about racism and cyber bullying, but lgbtq+ discrimination can go here as well.

I mean, they’re not wrong. It is a sensitive social issue. There’s a more than average chance of a lgbtq+ discussion ending with heated arguments and angry words to the point where mod intervention is needed. They don’t want that, because they’re afraid it’ll cost money.

Love the name

I read in a period where I was reading the top 100 sci-fi books. This was somewhere on number 30 or so. It was a very different read from most other sci-fi books, very quirky. I like those unique kind of approaches I have never seen or didn’t expect. That’s why tropes work. It’s always someone’s first contact with the trope. (Kubik is not a trope though, I haven’t seen i copied yet)

There’s plenty of star trek episodes that are more about philosophical and societal questions than tech.

The bicentennial man by Isaac Asimov comes to mind. Which is about a robot, but in essence it’s about the philosophical question what it means to be human.

There’s Ubik by Philip K Dick, which is about about tech, when you get down to it, but in a very unique and un-tech like way.

Flowers for Algernon by Daniel Keys is not about tech, but the chronicles of a brain surgery patient that became extremely smart.

Hyperion by Dan Simmons is basically just “The Canterbury Tales” in space.

There’s plenty more stories that are not really about tech. You could try searching for dystopia themes, like “Maze runner” or “the hunger games” or “I am legend” or “wayward pines”
