Here’s a video to make your fear rational.

In Germany, those letters come with a fine, which they can sue you over, if you don’t pay.

Honestly as a German, torrenting seems to be way too risky. Internet providers will immediately cave when they are contacted about an IP adress they control and there are multiple law firms whose only business model seems to be sending out c&d letters.

Go visit hexbear.net/PPB (nsfw) for a good reason why one might want to defederate from them.

Probably smart to take it down. What he did could be construed as hacking.

Then charmeleon must change more than just the user agent

What works? YT on Firefox or YT on Firefox when the user agent is changed?

I use Charmeleon, with the effects described above.

Youtube currently (for weeks now) does not work on Firefox, if you don’t use a Firefox user agent. Google doing sketchy things again.

The view tracker is an interesting proposition I currently use uMatrix to have fine-grained control over what is getting loaded amd some sites are downright unholy in how much thrid-party stuff gets loaded to display a site.

How to play Ubisoft games without the Ubisoft Launcher:

What good would advertising “Still supporting Manifest V2” do for your average user? They also wouldn’t want to openly advertise that “Your ad block still works with us”.

The devs are doing some damage control in the comments. But to be fair, they very clearly say that you won’t be paid, so you can’t say you have been led astray by dubious marketing.

On Desktop, as soon as the tab bars are getting smaller to make room for more tabs on the screen, I feel like I have too many open.

I think the Fallout 4 NG update debacle will be a blessing in disguise for this mod. I certainly only heard of it because of the controversy.

Make no mistake, Germany isn’t opposing this out of a principled stance. The German government too wants more ways to control people’s activity.

And here I thought it was something like Second Life, a virtual world where you can ‘own’ property.

You’ll find that most Tesla/SpaceX hacked channels promote shitcoins or some form of “You send me 10 Bitcoin and I’ll send you 20 back” scam. This is because Elon himself is promoting or has promoted dubious coins as well (i.e. Dodgecoin). I think Elon stans are just the perfect blend of tech hypers and technologically illiterate people that would most likely be unable to differentiate between “legitimate” Elon promotion and those scams.

Tech-savvy people tend to trend left. And with the reddit exodus, only those that cared about API access and privacy left.
