In the UK I think it depends how much you torrent, how often, and who your ISP is. I’m pretty sure the big main ISPs all have to be vigilant and tell their customers off for doing it. I use a small ISP, and I set my upload speed to 10Mbits and my download to half my max bandwidth. I don’t seed a library of stuff just whatever is being downloaded, then I stop. So yes. I’m a leech and have been for years. No VPN. However we only torrent when we can’t get something on a service we already pay for so not more than 3 times a week.

tl;dr - in the UK use a small ISP and stay below the radar and you’ll be fine.

This seems like bullshit to me. I’ve not seen anyone complaining their VPN isn’t working. And any business with staff using VPNs would not be happy if they managed to let that update get applied.

I’m on Pixel 7 and current Firefox, but it won’t install. It Just says “no app found to open xpi files”

Edit: fixed. Have to engage Dev options. Settings > About > tap the Firefox icon a few times. Then go back to settings and you’ll see the “install add-on from file” option.

Scarry read.

Not ONE government, but I’d accept something that lots of governments sign up to and share responsibility for. E.g. funding and making sure it is not giving any one country preferential treatment.

Indeed. Needs to be run by an independent non-profit organisation.

There needs to be a registry service that allows people to show they have a license for any digital media we purchase.

Signed up just to get my ID, and make sure no one else can have it.

I don’t think it was a scam as such. I think people didn’t really understand their model. I haven’t stayed informed on it though so maybe there is more to know.

iPhone users don’t have the option of a convenient app, though I understand brave browser can work. Either way android users have an easier time blocking ads then Iphone users. I pay for YouTube family so my kids and the TV can avoid ads.

When you Google a technical thing you could use the whole sentence like “in a bash session how would you pipe the output from cat to something else?” But that is long winded and can be constraining for the search engine so you boil it down to just the essential words". Start with “how to” then add “bash Cat pipe”, and insert “with” because that is the desired adjective.

I’ve just woken up and I’m wondering if I missed an implied /s. Anyway.
