Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ

There was a short while when everyone had computers at home, and we became skilled with them because we grew up with them. But those computers were pretty quickly replaced with tablets and phones, leaving the majority of younger generations with much less computer experience.

Because of the locked-down nature and simplified UI design of mobile platforms, they weren't able to learn skills like navigating file systems or the many tools in document and art programs they would have found on PC.

Rather than being an edutainment tool, mobile devices have offered cheap dopamine hits and predatory monetization. The fact that we know this and do nothing to correct it is incredibly sad.

most yes, some no. Some are fucking geniuses

The best site right now (in my lazy opinion) is

qbittorrent is the best client these days. uTorrent went and did some bad stuff that I can't remember off the top of my head.

You should really get a VPN to keep your isp from bothering you about it. I use Private Internet Access (PIA) because it's relatively cheap, has port forwarding, and doesn't store any user data.

That's the basics. Happy sailing matey. Remember to seed to a ratio of at least 2!
