Mesopotamia has fallen, billions must die.

If they don't like cats because you can't train a cat, and/or cats seemingly hate them, I consider it a warning sign they want people to obey them rather than exist with them.

Cats can't be trained like a dog. So when people complain about that and don't like them for that, I consider it a sign of "I want you to obey me, don't question it."

Fuck Twitter for doing this shit. Musk should just jump in a hole with all his money as we bury him with it, Sunset Riders style.

All addons don't won't work on any Addon/extension page, across all browsers. I don't know why, but if I had to take an educated guess, it's so extensions can't make you download malware addons.

That said, on firefox, you can enable any extention to have thar privilege.

I'd rather not use products made by companies that influence voters and led to a genocide. Sorry I have moral standard.

Programming languages isn't adware made by a company that has horrible track records for respecting privacy. If you love Facebook so much, stay there and take your sealioning with you.

And then blamed for ruining the 2016 American election.

Snowden showed the government was spying, had to flee, deemed a terrorist. Assange showed the government disobeys the laws it enforces on everyone else, deemed a terrorist. Manning showed that war crimes are constant, deemed a terrorist, subjected to inhumane torture.

Every time a whistleblower exposes corruption and violations of laws in every country, they are punished. China, Russia, America, England, they're all guilty of it.

I personally use AirVPN. I detest the software client. It's open source at least, but it feels like it was made for Windows XP and just ported forward.

That said, it supports Wireguard, so making my rpi log into the VPN anytime it goes offline is simple. Same for my laptop and phone.

Decent rates, good ways of dealing with per-device things, easy to lend the account to people who need a VPN, and often has sales.

I have tried a seedbox before, but the bottleneck is the last mile of my home internet. I just have a Raspberry Pi 3B+ hooked onto my router via ethernet. I just log onto qBittorrent and tell it to go as I sleep, and turn it off when I wake up. The downloading is done already onto a spare laptop drive I have, and then I watch it via Jellyfin or sneakernet it over to a friend.

I won't say a seedbox is useless, I think it's great, but due to how my living works, it's not great. I've waited several minutes for a few PNGs to download, game updates often take hours. Not even counting how the actual fucking wind slows down my internet, due to the copper wiring being on poles like electricity. And I live in a place with so many windmills due to the natural features of the land creating daily wind storms from 4 PM until 7 AM.

I really do appropriate the advice however!

My internet isnt fast enough, My average download speed for the entire place is maybe 18 MB/s, and 0.5 MB/s upload.

Torrenting helps solve the problem as I can just tell it to download in chunks and then turn it off when I need more leg room on my copper wire internet from 2003 that AT&T doesn't change.

I have some of the slowest speeds where 4G Data is a massive upgrade, so when I need to offload some jpgs to discord or something, its faster if I just send them to my phone and upload that way.

That's it mainly. Port forwarding improves my torrenting enough to where I get better reliability.
