Would installing Windows 11 LTSC and then running massgrave to activate it be the easiest way to get the least bloated version of Windows 11 that will have you not having to worry about stuff like Cortana, recall, ads, preinstalled apps returning in future updates?
All the other versions of Windows 11 seem like a constant cat and mouse of trying to get Windows 11 to what ltsc already is of debloated Windows 11 without all the extra crap.
Got to be realistic though and realize not everyone can cut everything cold turkey, and those who attempt to do it and fail are more likely to slip back and directly go back to monetarily funding it again.
Piracy in that case is the lesser or two evil and more realistic for most people with not everyone in it for ideological belief of moving towards all things anti American but financially denying direct contribution as they used to do.
Calibre is fantastic software for loading books not from Amazon on to the kindle completely bypassing Amazon, and you can permanently leave your Kindle in airplane mode to not let Amazon collect data on you.
Also, side bar on !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com has a nice megathread that provides info on getting ebooks that might not be available to purchase outside of Amazon. Which you can then send you your Kindle with calibre.

Piracy is moral now! Not that I cared when it was considered immoral haha. Check out the side bar for the megathread to get started.
Even if they don't stick around they probably know that the days of reddit allowing stuff like piracy and rom resources is coming to a close, so even them just seeing lemmy as a fallback plan to keep in mind is a positive move in the long run.
When I looked into real debrid years ago I noped out of it real quick after seeing the payment methods and info demanded that made it difficult to try to make the process as anonymous as possible.
Yep it's been perfect. I'm very happy with this instance and communities.
I use it mainly for manhwa too, since it's really easy to find higher quality manga downloads compared to manhwa with it being webtoon based.
Emulation is king when it doesn't have bugs for sure. I've been running more games through emulation over the switch as it's gotten better for that beautiful fps and resolution jump.
Jail breaking is an option too for the Switch and I've been happy with the experience. Even paying more for a physically modded oled version ends up paying for itself quick considering the price of games.
Yeah, cost of an extra $120 a year to try and get more media out of a legit and already expensive monthly subscription is the point where I'd just scrap it all for a cheaper VPN for pirating. Point of paying for Netflix or Hulu for me would be to not have to do that stuff.
Save your lunch money for however long it takes to be able to buy a year of VPN like Mullvad in your country.
You aren't paying for your internet so you'd be an asshole to put the account holder under scrutiny for torrenting without protection. Especially when they are also covering your rent, elecricity, gas, food, clothing, etc. Don't be a selfish asshole.
If you can't get VPN don't be entitled and go off torrenting because other people say it is fine. You aren't paying for internet so you don't get the privilege to decide if it is fine or not.
