I was recently in college for IT, and my professors said a couple of times that it’s best practice just to assume that all of your info has already been stolen

As with most bleeding edge technology, all the danger comes from capitalism, and not the technology itself.

hunger is “fundamental to the working of the world’s economy”

I mean, he’s probably right, but that means we should work to change the system, not throw more orphans into the crushing machine

In recent years, rightsholders have made several attempts to shut the site down. Court orders have led to LibGen being blocked in several countries, but completely eliminating the threat has been extremely difficult. This is partly because the identities of those running it remains unknown.

In 2017, Elsevier won a court case against LibGen and Sci-Hub in a New York federal court, which awarded the publisher $15 million in damages. However, both shadow libraries remained online and continue to operate to this day.

The lawsuit was stalled for months because LibGen’s anonymous operators didn’t respond. With no other viable options left, the publishers filed a motion for a default judgment in their favor.

Keep it up, LibGen

If they can, I’m going to buy a whole bunch of vibrators that charge via USB

Companies still shouldn’t steal fanart. If a fan makes something they like, they should work with the fan to make it official in a way that satisfies both parties. The community would love seeing that, and the company would get what they want for a reasonable price, and probably still cheaper than paying their own artists.

A comment lower in the thread says Bungie has reached out to this person, and are handling it well, which sounds great!

Yeah, Trucks Munched, and it gives the number this year, and since the bridge was built next to it. Last I saw, we’re up to 19, but that was last week lol

I have the original of that top one

You can always tell when someone’s pickup is just for show. This one definitely isn’t

Here in Lansing, Big Penny has been eating so well, someone put up a scoreboard (sorry I don’t have a better picture)

I don’t know, but this is a very Lopen thing to ask lol

I can’t think of the last time I went through a self checkout without having to wait for an employee. Sure, a lot of the time it’s just because I’m buying a bottle of wine or whatever, but, like, that’s still a problem.

It’s also super terrible security-wise, because it incentivizes employees to make their account credentials whatever is quickest to type in on the kiosk that seems to have less processing power than my cellphone. I usually look away out of politeness, but I’ve glanced at their codes a few times. Saw one that was literally 0000. Another that was just 1, because apparently they don’t even necessarily have any password requirements lol

Done, thanks!

Is there a way to avoid that? I didn’t post the clip, so I can’t re-upload it somewhere else. Logging out of YouTube doesn’t seem to make a difference

What does that mean?

Everyone other than Shax

Edit: changed link to remove Google tracking

Yes, it is. I believe Szeth mentioned its specifically a divine honorific, which is why he uses it for Nale

And yet, when it’s people, there’s a problem. Such a double standard 🙄

Okay, so that is all it is. I feel like that didn’t need an article lol

Two layers of popups before I even see the page is too many, but isn’t the issue resolved? Do they just mean it’ll take time before all the individuals hosts are rolled off the failed update?

I don’t think any country is going to make VPNs illegal anytime soon

They’ll just make them illegal for anyone other than a corporation
