Because that download would still be illegal

Of course its still illegal. I'm not saying it's using a seedbox makes it legal to download illegal torrents. It's just legal in the country of your seedbox. So if your seedbox provider gets a DMCA notice, they're going to throw it directly in the trash.

Additionally, between my seedbox and me, is encrypted. So how would anyone know what I download from my private seedbox? There's realistically no way to get "caught." Copyright holders pay people to monitor torrent traffic for people to prosecute and hassle--but the same isn't true for private servers which encrypt traffic.

I still fear that mistakes may slip through

Wikipedia is moderated by real people, so this is a non-issue. The fault tolerance for Wikipedia will be the same from AI vs People because it's moderated by the same people regardless of where the content comes from.

I also use it for this. Sometimes I can get pretty draconian with my speech, so I feed my long winded responses into AI, and pull out a more readable responses. I even have AI write pull requests sometimes. Works great.

This is true, but when you factor in only maybe 10% of people know and understand how to enable a VPN kill-switch, it doesn't bring much comfort.

Conspiracy theory sensationalism is a mental illness. Get that checked.

For some languages gender-neutral pronouns aren't possible or aren't appropriate. It's really only in English and maybe five other languages that gender-neutral pronouns are a real thing and even in these languages if you're not used to using neutral pronouns or reading them in common writing sounds like a mistake to begin with. It's generally just easier to automate the task based on names, and the library itself comes from a time when that wasn't a controversial thought. Lol

I used to work in oil and gas until recently. We had tons of work but supply was at an all time high. Trump declared an "energy emergency" at the worst time in history. It opened everything up, but demand doesn't magically increase. So now we have a ridiculous surplus of Oil & NG that will take a while to go through. Short term profits plummet and people are out of work until we have storage space for extracted hydrocarbons.

Just can't stop winning, eh?

ART OF THE DEAL, BABY.

Member when he said he'd force them to agree on something within a week or something fucking stupid?

It's meta-search. A decent idea, but still relies on other search engines. A bit misleading. UI is fucking * mint * tho.

I paid $100 to play Forza Horizon on my own device too - should that have been free?

This is a complete false equivalence and I feel that you know that. The idea of a console is to expand it by buying new games. That's not unexpected.

Your entire argument seems to be that software should be free

I am a software developer. The argument isn't that software should be free. The argument is that this is an exceptionally poor business model and as a developer I'm disgusted that people are defending it. The VC which owns Plex and other VCs will use this "logic" that you have to move the goal posts further, and further, and further, and further until there's no such thing as free software anymore. And I think that's fucked up.

At the end of the day you're paying twice to avoid buying IP. Just fucking buy the IP if you're going to be stupid. Movies are like $12. At $250 you're paying $2.10/mo in addition to your hosting costs.

Just go buy 20 movies for the same price. It's so dumb.
