If no one can own anything, then piracy doesn't exist.

Download that show. It's a form of protest, as far as I'm concerned.

Make sure to bind your torrent client to your vpn. VPNs have a killswitch but the binding offers a bit for insurance.

What makes torrenting justified in my view:

  1. Enshittification of streaming services with ad breaks.
  2. Shows typically have a 2 year gap before we can watch the next 8-10 episodes.
  3. Not all shows are available in all countries.
  4. The customer has to pay for multiple services to binge an entire show.
  5. Physical media is not always available.

As long as the glasses are paired with a small computer (perhaps a smartphone or Raspberry Pi) and all data is processed on said device I can get behind such a setup.

Did CBC really ask such a dumb question? FFS Yes.

Was "she" embarrassed? I doubt it.

While I do see AI usage as a danger, I don't see an AI gaining super intelligence within 3 years and killing everyone.

The pollution from the data centers is the bigger threat as is the cognitive decline of the users.

I'm more likely to click on a text link.

My laptop isn't paired with my headphones so I seldom watch videos on this device. The speakers are pretty terrible.

My android tablet is what I use for videos. If the video has a clear title I can search, maybe I'll do so but I need to know it will be worth my time.
