    Hmm if only there was some way to prevent companies from having so much power over a market that they can control the price. There’s gotta be a name for that.

      Just drop the subs. Call it the November challenge. You have to find some screen free way to entertain yourself for the month.

      ETA: it’s not as difficult as you may think.

    Asking for a friend, is Mullvad sufficient to pirate “safely enough” ? I’m tired of paying these pedo-enabling and fascist billionaires and corporations.

      Find the cheapest VPN that you can find that allows port forwarding, your threat model for torrenting is probably totally different to regular web browsing. (Mullvad doesn’t allow port forwarding) (I use privatevpn which is mostly garbage but it works)

          I’ve heard good things about airvpn, now we just sit back and wait for someone to tell us why we shouldn’t use it.

          I’m still on mullvad because I paid for a full year a while back and it hasn’t expired yet, but I’ll probably switch to airvpn in a couple of months.

      Used it for years. No issue of notice. Sure you can’t port forward, but I don’t know what’s really needed for because I don’t seem to have any problem downloading things so never bothered investigating.

      I’ve had a good experience with Torguard. When I looked into Mullvad I found they didn’t support port forwarding (unless this has changed recently?).

    I wonder what the profit margins on streaming services are? I mean bandwidth is pretty cheap in this day and age, so it’s gotta be astronomically profitable.
