The "you wouldn't steal a car" thing actually backfired majorly for the parties involved. It actually did two things. It highlighted that downloading movies was possible and easy to do when it was new and not many people knew about it. And it made people curious. This led to it having the exact opposite effect of what was intended.

If I take out a loan to buy a home, I don't own the home outright. The creditor owns the home until I pay off the debt. I'm likening the situations because I want to make it clear that he didn't put in his own money to buy it.

I watch two people on twitch. I know both those people in real life but they live pretty far away from me. It's a way to interact with them and watch them play games etc. That's literally all I use it for.

The site itself is under threat of being taken down? Is that what's going on? I don't think it's up to us personally to do anything. Seems like people have already mirrored it (seeing as according to your article it has a successor), and those mirrors are also listed as threats. Not gonna lie this is and always has been a game of whack a mole. There will be more successors and more lists etc because that's just how these things work.

Yeah. Airlines still use it for log books and reports.

I think that's part of how our brains are wired. It's part of the "if the rules have been explained and they make sense we will follow them to the death" thing. You have certain experiences, so you recognize that pattern in other people's and default to solutions because when you were in your situation you needed solutions not moral support.
If you don't have that experience you still default to problem solving. At least I do. I think this is why people think we're so good at handling things in a crisis. It's because we go into damage control mode. We assess and then make a plan and we do it rapidly.

Disney waved their right to arbitration after backlash. Uber might just do the same, or get sued by the government for the EULA itself.

I got so tired of the "update chrome because new zero day" articles so I removed chrome altogether from every computer I own except the work one because one specific vendor's schematics work in chrome and are broken in the other browsers. I haven't looked back and I don't think I will.

So does the legion go. I don't understand why there isn't something built in to fedora to prevent this but I've never been able to find a setting for it.

The more you scroll, the more ads they can serve on one page. So if you scroll to the bottom, don't see the results you want, you're likely to try to reword what you were searching for which will bring up new results and more ads. When you think about the fact that 4-5 of the first results are ads generally (if not more) and you have to scroll past those to get a result that isn't an ad, you recognize that they are maximizing time spent looking at ads because that's what they are selling to their real customers (the ad services for whom they aggregate).
This scenario makes it more likely that you will click on a sponsored result, backtrack, scroll some more, not see what you're looking for, re-word your search query, click on maybe another sponsored result, backtrack etc.
"The uBlock Origin Lite add-on was also accused of collecting user data and running afoul of privacy concerns, which is one of the big reasons why people switch over to the Firefox browser in the first place. Hill [the developer] responded: “It takes only a few seconds for anyone who has even basic understanding of JavaScript to see the raised issues make no sense.”"
Instead of blocking them, this extension speeds them up to x16 and also mutes the ad. Experiencing a 30 second ad in 2 seconds is pretty funny. And it works on Edge and Chrome.
