Possibly, but it’s not like he has to do all.of those things simultaneously and he does have prior experience with some of them too.

This community is usually pretty good, so yes it can get a lot better.

Was Cooper Howard a character in the games or was the entire role written for this show?

This thread is awful quality for this community, but I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised considering the article that started it is PC Gamer ragebait. Gamers are always looking for their next moment to rise up.

Mullvad stopped doing it because it can’t be done anonymously.

Where did Mullvad give this as the reason? There was no mention of anonymity in their announcement post. It was a decision driven by legal issues and the blacklisting of their IPs.

Why are we removing forwarded ports?

Port forwarding in general has added value if you are wanting to allow a friend or family to access a service running behind our VPN. This could be a legitimate website, a game server, or even access to your self-hosted server.

Unfortunately port forwarding also allows avenues for abuse, which in some cases can result in a far worse experience for the majority of our users. Regrettably individuals have frequently used this feature to host undesirable content and malicious services from ports that are forwarded from our VPN servers. This has led to law enforcement contacting us, our IPs getting blacklisted, and hosting providers cancelling us.

The result is that it affects the majority of our users negatively, because they cannot use our service without having services being blocked.

The abuse vector of port forwarding has caught up with us, and today we announce the discontinuation of support for port forwarding. This means that if you are a user of forwarded ports, you will not be able to add or modify the ports you have in use.

We have removed the ability to add port forwards on all accounts.

Mullvad is half the price if you want the flexibility of a monthly plan. I actually pay the same as a Proton customer but I think they either gave me a permanent loyalty discount or I’m on grandfathered monthly pricing because as a new customer you have to pay twice as much.

This thread is about activating Windows, not installing it. As I suspected, you have absolutely no idea what you’re talking about.

I’ve been using Ubuntu on multiple PCs for years. If you think installing and learning a beginner-friendly distro is quicker or easier than running a massgrave script then you are genuinely clueless.

Haven’t tried what…?

…?

Every time it’s recommended people shit themselves over the .ru domain. I don’t think people realise just how much pirated content comes out of Russia, it’s very normal and nothing to be afraid of.

Nah, these “hacks” are very easy. Easier than installing and learning even the most basic of Linux distros.

Trinity College in Dublin has done a few studies in this area over the years. Here’s a Forbes article about them (apologies in advance if it is paywalled).

Switching to open source, privacy-respecting apps is the most important part of obtaining privacy on Android and it sounds like you’ve done that. Whether you need to have the absolute highest level of protection against Google is really something only you can determine. For me, “stock” Android with as many FOSS replacements as possible is good enough.

RiseUp is slow and intended for activists and the politically vulnerable. It’s not for poor people who cannot afford a $5 a month VPN. You will be fucking over people with much more legitimate use cases than yours if you start using it for torrenting.

Depends if the vibration motor still works.
