  • I would spend the money on a VPN instead because:

    1. DLL links are always down, torrents can die too, but overall they are much more reliable, you can just have your torrent search engine to organise by seeders.

    2. Much more content on torrents

    3. Much higher quality, DLLs at least back when I used those had terrible quality.

    4. Much easier to manage 100 downloads at the same time, sure Jdownloader exists, but…

    5. RSS downloaded, you can get your favourite anime torrent or RSS and qbittorrent will download it for you every week.

    6. Security, if you download software, popular torrent websites are much more trusted and moderated and you have less probably of getting malware.

    7. If you subscribe to a DLL site you can use that single website, if you torrent you can download from many websites.

    8. You can use the VPN for other stuff.






  • You’re responsible for the technology you create.

    So if I create a knife I’m responsible if someone uses it for murder?

    Maybe I should implement a camera on the knife that records your kitchen 24/7 to make sure the knife wont be used for murder, is that OK with you?

    Unionize workers in Microsoft.

    If you “unionize” microsoft and keep windows non-free software, the employees get better wages, apart from that the users still get spied upon, and the means of production (windows source code) still under ownership of a small group of people, (and just like any other operating system or knife, can) still used for nefarious purposes.

    Even if the workers at the microsoft commune decide to made windows non-spyware anymore, there is still no way to actually be sure since there’s no way to verify it.

    Also, proprietary software isn’t only a prime example of private ownership of the means of production, but also a prime example of artificial scarcity.

    As long as it’s “Free Software” instead of “Free people” you’re playing on the side of the tech oligarchy.

    Free software is a requirement for free people, if you don’t understand that, then you really have no understanding of how technology works, of how people work and how freedom works.

    I recommend reading the following article: https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-software-even-more-important.html



  • I personally would throw the dishwasher away, and before that, permanently damage it to make sure no poor soul picks it up from the trash thinking they scored a free dishwasher without knowing it was once used to wash literal shit.

    I would never be able to ever eat anything from any dish every washed on that machine, but again, that’s me and my personal emotional reaction to it. I understand that if it reaches 90C it technically kills all bacteria or something. But I would still refuse.

    For that same reason I never buy used kitchen utensils, because I have no way to know what has be used for before.
