Not the only ways to do it by far, but I do agree with you that most people just pay for streaming services.

People don’t pirate music

Precisely this. Consumer VPNs are not tools for security or anonymity. They won’t protect you from most kinds of fingerprinting or tracking beyond IP-based tracking. They have relatively specific uses. I recommend Privacy Guides’ article on them for further reading: https://www.privacyguides.org/en/basics/vpn-overview/

I like shorts! They’re comfy and easy to wear!

I’ve been using a SimpleLogin alias on Patreon for a while and have never been flagged, so there’s that.

It says in the article.

Law enforcement use CSS to pinpoint the location of phones often with greater accuracy than other techniques such as cell site location information (CSLI) and without needing to involve the phone company at all. CSS can also log International Mobile Subscriber Identifiers (IMSI numbers) unique to each SIM card, or hardware serial numbers (IMEIs) of all of the mobile devices within a given area. Some CSS may have advanced features allowing law enforcement to intercept communications in some circumstances.

Looks like they aren’t using “IMSI catcher” because it only covers one of the uses of those devices.

Just in case anyone didn’t feel like reading the article, here’s the last (and imo most important) paragraph:

However, without changing the DMCA, we can’t expect to see real, lasting change in this space. Doctorow said as much to me: “What we really need to do is get rid of DMCA 1201, that law that makes it a crime to format shift your media…it’s the same law that stops farmers from fixing their tractors, blocks independent mechanics from fixing your car, stops rivals from setting up alternative app stores for phones and games consoles…this law is a menace!”

I use Firefox and I literally am a woke vegan.

He also shit his pants on the golf course and there’s photos of it.

Unfortunately untrue.

The word you’re looking for is “gerontocracy”.

New HeliBoard release just came out yesterday, so no, development has not stopped.

Not yet, but Conduit is fairly close if I’m not mistaken.

Synapse is a mess, which is why Element is looking to eventually drop it for Dendrite. There’s also Conduit.

Your complaint is really just a symptom of the problems inherent in the centralization of the internet. The terms of service of basically all tech platforms gives them unilateral control of how those terms are enforced. If one doesn’t like the terms of service set on a given platform, one should not use said platform.

I tend not to agree with them, so I don’t use them. Others should probably do the same.

I think the original commenter suggested autism because of OP’s rather… peculiar hyperfixation. Hyperfixations on atypical things are common in people on the spectrum.

To me, it’s either that or OP is very very young.

For standalone desktops, Hyprland is undeniably your best base at the moment to write a window manager.

Well, it took him more than 2/3 of the post to mention hyprland, so I’ll give him props for that.

The perfect filled-in eyebrows, looks like she’s wearing lipstick and eyeliner. It’s a little… strange.

You mean the problems that experts said 10+ years ago would happen are happening?
