Sure, just opt away from anything that’s created by artists and you’re good.

However I was specifically positing an option outside of the sex work industry that doesn’t have a significant history of drug abuse, sexual abuse, worker abuse, and overall unhealthy precedents.

2d means no consent necessary and no worries beyond artist mistreatment or underpayment by the publisher.

Which is a molehill compared to the mountain of issues in the actual sex work industry.

I definitely agree with you but I’m not sure how far they can take this in an economic situation that is currently devolving into a major recession and has all the macroeconomic factors of an incoming second depression.

Firefox + ublock origin would be your best scenario for privacy and security. Privacy because all these ads track your page loads and attempt to generate a unique id for your browser based on your loading time of certain pixels, and security because nearly half of all ads (and more than half of all links on google search and nearly all ads on google search) are viral loads just waiting for an accidental click.

Adblockers or torrents mate. I’ve not seen an ad in over 18 years.

How these companies don’t realize these incompetent decisions push formerly paying customers into piracy is actually beyond me.

Do every c-level employee in these companies have brain damage?

This chart’s not wrong but I’d posit ‘muslims’ have been an easy go-to since 9/11.

Anyone who does this should be blacklisted entirely

I’ve picked xfce on basically every distro I’ve used and I’ve hopped through like 30 distro’s.

takes lace gloves off

I feel extremely called out right now.

puts lace gloves back on

You can’t use logic with these people, they’ll try to burn you for being a witch.

I don’t pirate games anymore because steam solved my access problem.

Amazing that all these shitty streaming services make me wish blockbuster was a thing again.

But, since it isn’t and never will be, it’s a yo ho ho from me.

(Until a reasonable steam-esque service for movies/shows turns up anyway)

Just a firm reminder that pirates get better service than the people that pay all these garbage subscriptions

It would be quite hilarious if it turns out barron starts putting mercury drops in trumps diet cola for the sake of the world

It’s incompetent and immature morons that continue to push segregation, and realistically the more they fight it the more I have to ask “what did you do”

I very much understand your pain, my drive died mid-year while I was at university, I just cleaned it up and added it to a virtual machine with win10 to finish projects with the windows based programs.

Worked surprisingly well. I used virtual machine manager on arch (and now endeavour, I can’t stop distro hopping but I’ve stayed on endeavour the longest)

Fuck me I laughed

I’ve had great results with EndeavourOS

When the windows update bricked my OS I sighed in pure relief as I could finally stop using windows forever. As an added bonus I didn’t lose any work because the drive was fully accessible to arch… after windows said it had encrypted the drive.

Absolute trash operating system and I have zero regrets leaving.

I’m pro co-ed everything but this is not the reason it should be done lmao
