What's wild about this too is that if you get a speeding ticket or something and don't pay or miss property tax payments for a year they will send police to your house.

If you or I (I'm assuming you're not a politician since you mentioned corruption) laundered even $10,000 through shell companies we would get 10 to 20 years in prison and fines of double the amount laundered. And can't own or operate LLCs again.

But when fucks in suits do it they get pardoned and hired back. I bet his wife got to keep those companies too.

Yes and I have said the same thing in other comments before.

What about my comments made you think I don't like or support steam?

I said that people complain about the epic games guy but also whine and moan about Gabe having yachts. Then you said they are being consistent and I said well when they recommend to use other millionaire/billionaires platforms that is not being consistent that is hating on a specific platform for the same things other platforms do (have rich people run them)

I'm confused about what you are defending or against here.

You can see in my comment history I have said the same thing you just said before to people anti steam. I love steam, and what it does for Linux.

But that doesn't mean I'm against epic either.

Do you like cross platform gaming? Thank epic.

Hating on one but defending the other is exactly what I said doesn't make any sense. Every successful gaming company is going to have millionaires. So when I said, people hate on epic but then complain that Gabe has yachts but still tell people to use steam over epic that doesn't make any sense and is the opposite of consistent.

Odd then that most of them that hate on epic still recommend to use Steam instead.

Some say GOG, which is also owned by millionaires.

I'm failing to see the consistency.

That's fair but anyone can run it that way without it having root access, even on Windows.

I run it through Heroic and it doesn't have root access at all. In fact my entire gaming profile doesn't have root access to the rest of the machine which is recommended for anything gaming related even steam.

If you're talking about on Windows then you're already running Malware in the form of Windows OS, to be honest. But since you said root I'm assuming you mean on Linux.

Why don't you guys get some meaningful fucking work done improving the lives of your constituents instead of hating on memes for kids?

I've never understood the hate for Epic Games Store. Without Epic cross platform gaming would have never happened on consoles.

Yeah dude is a twat and has some shitty opinions but the same people who bitch about him will whine and moan about Gabe Newell having yachts.

I really just don't understand it.

If you don't want anyone to make money from games then that leaves no money left to develop games.

In fact, epic charges less than half of the listing fee for devs and publishers than any other service that lists games. (They lose money doing this, but they still do it).

Just really odd behavior in my opinion. People find anything to divide themselves over.

It makes perfect sense if you're a greedy piece of shit with no morals and no care for the citizens you "represent".

That's pretty much every single person in the united states government. Like for real, almost all of them. Definitely the majority.

I just hope they don't Gary Webb or John Barnett him soon. I really worry about that especially with the dickheads in charge right now.

There's only been like 3 times mainly that have been found out about publicly at least

OnionDuke Malware (2014)

Operation Onymous (2014)

Tor Exit Node Malware Campaign (2020)

So it can happen but doesn't happen often and the people who pull it off usually have virtually unlimited funding to do it. For the common person its still safer than rawdogging the internet

That excerpt still says it was deployed to all the businesses listed above it, though. So yes it was being used however those businesses used it.

And yes closed source components are inescapable (and also a potential threat) unless you use something that is GNU certified and I don't even think a lot of them can even run the current version of Tails but I havent researched it in awhile. Maybe could run Tor browser though but if my memory serves correctly even stuff that is GNU certified has some proprietary hardware in it.

But no, the irrationality here would be saying "because something is open source you should trust it automatically and ask no questions about it" which of course isn't what you said but you implied that because something is open source its automatically to be trusted. And that's not true.

I never said not to use TOR or implied that, I said (and you can look back at my comments and see) that just because something is open source doesn't automatically mean it is safe and trustworthy. And I don't think its irrational to say that.

This was all in response to someone pointing out that depending on what the person is using TOR for they should do more research about it and educate themselves on security of using it which is true.

Never just see open source and assume complete safety or trustworthiness. Which is something people who have never used TOR do all the time and why you see the points I made being brought up around the conversation constantly.

Open source doesn't guarantee complete safety, you should still take other steps in addition to using open source to better enhance your privacy and security. TOR is great and I think OP and others interested should use it, but you should never blindly trust something just because it is open source and used a lot. Vulnerabilities can happen all the time, if they didn't Tails wouldn't ever need updated at all.

Alternatives (that I wouldn't really recommend) do exist and since you mentioned how none were mentioned the two that come to mind first is i2p and Whonix although Whonix uses Tor routing but is an alternative to Tails I guess. Still wouldn't recommend them over Tails though.

Jesus. Yeah I shouldn't be surprised, they will take everything you have and more than you can make in a lifetime. I edited the original comment to reflect that number.
