You're absolutely not to run them without a VPN or other authentication portal in front of them.
The point is realising that you can pay a liveable wage and still be profitable.
So if all this happens, that's great.
None of those things you listed are more of a problem than they are on windows:
Streaming and miltimonitors works, you may need to change a display setting. Video editing and rendering is literally about downloading an app and using it. Physics? Well windows won't fucking work for you anyway. LLM? Well you're already a compsci major, youre already a Linux user. Printing very much just works. Even though nobody prints anything these days. Your corporate hardware should be the device they give you, not your own PC. AND gaming also works great.
Torrentleech is, IPT is great
Linux distro a that don't have audio or graphics is the exception not the norm.
Like pick any mainstream one and you're fine. Or you have legitimately fucked hardware.
Australian here, I feel this.
Our upload speeds are abysmal which makes us uncompetitive as uploaders to anything.
What URLs I load and choose not to load should always be my absolute whole discretion. And yes I can pick and choose not to load a whole website.
But don't use Adblock Plus, use uBlock. Being the gatekeeper of ads to extort money out of advertisers is still a dick move and a middleman that doesn't need to exist.
Change your downloader to freeleech only and continue downloading.
Also helps if you pick up something like large freeleech ROM or movie packs.
Corsair?
At the end of the day, art is just pixels on a flat surface. Determining whether a depicted individual is under age where it's not obvious sets a dangerous precedent. Is the picture 17 or 18? Who knows.
But the problem is that people have been sexualising people like Emma Watson since she first appeared on screen. That's not okay and rather than sending AI art underground I think society needs to change to normalise education about sex, reproduction and genitalia and address the social issues to treat pedophilia like the disease that it is.
Meanwhile pedophile names are being written about publicly, risking mob violence and further isolation. Not to mention in the US theres a lot of negative attention being put on women's reproduction, childrens sex ed and genitalia and a push to make the whole lot illegal and taboo. Not to mention people teaching their kids pet names for their parts, "uncle Ben touched my heehaw" sounds a lot different to "uncle Ben touched my penis".
Society is a problem, the US particularly is going in the wrong direction on many aspects of sex education.
