Did you copy it from the Internet, or did you do it yourself?

You say that Mullvad is heavily shilled, and I’d like to learn more about it. Would you mind showing a concrete example, so I can better inform myself?

Sorry it took so long, but I added some of your suggestions in. Thanks.
- Comment on Windows 11 just lost 5% market share in two months despite Windows 10 losing support. 5 days ago:
Please be careful when using Windows 10, because any security vulnerabilities envolving Windows itself will not be fixed, and your computer will be more vulnerable to attacks. I’m not saying this to scare you off, but to advise you to take extra precaution and to remind you that most computer security experts do not recommend using and connecting to the Internet systems that will get no further security updates. I’m no expert myself, but I’m pretty sure that things like making sure you web browser is always updated, being careful with the programs you choose to download, and using updated antivirus software are the most common tips for this kind of situation. You might want to do more your research on this topic yourself if you haven’t yet. Stay safe!
- Comment on Police raid X offices in Paris, summon Elon Musk and former X chief executive Linda Yaccarino 5 days ago:
I’m glad that someone is finally trying to prosecute XAI for their crimes! Making a product that allows anyone to make deepfake porn and other types of also bad deepfakes, and proceding to do nothing about those cases, should be, in my books, extremely illegal, and I’m pretty sure that’s also illegal in the legal framework of most European countries.

Fair point. I just assumed most people reading my message wouldn’t care much about torrenting, but in this economy where censorship is pretty much happening, port forwarding would definitely be a plus. Do you have better suggestions?

- Comment on Beware: Government Using Image Manipulation for Propaganda 1 week ago:
The US government and everyone that stands behind it, they want to make those who fight against ICE look like dangerous creatures that roam the Earth and must be stopped. They want to look like they’re in total control, by making these fighters look desperate for their lives when they are arrested, by celebrating whenever one of them is killed. But most importantly, they want us to fight each other, so that we forget who is our true opponent on what is basically a war on our rights as human beings.

If you live in the UK or in another country where porn is being restricted:
- Talk with friends and family about getting a VPN (everyone says good things about Mullvad VPN, so it’s probably one of the best choices)
- Learn to use the Tor network (it’s really easy to start, and unlike popular belief, Tor isn’t only for illegal activities)
- Pressure MPs that didn’t vote in favor of the age verification bill by sending emails to them about it so that they fight (or keep fighting) this age verification nonsense.
You don’t need to be a porn addict to do these things. In fact, they have started with porn, but they may as well keep going and fight for age verification in other types of content, making access to said content way more difficult. The best thing you can do right now is to learn to fight back.
- Comment on noyb win: Microsoft ordered to stop tracking school children 1 week ago:
That’s cool! I wish Microsoft were fined though. Any money we can take off of them for not following the law, no matter how small it may be in the big picture, is a win in my eyes.

Is this it?
The device demonstrated a specific cooling power of up to 1.43W g-1 under zero-temperature-lift conditions. In addition, the system’s coefficient of performance can reach 3.4 under ideal work-recovery assumption, highlighting its potential energy efficiency.

That isn’t a bad language. It’s pretty simple and it serves a cool purpose, which is to convey the power of a Turing machine. Now this is a bad programming language.

I finally managed to listen to the whole talk. He makes a ton of good points. You can tell his expertise in political activism.
(I also didn’t expect that Danganronpa reference in the end of the talk. /j)

There are lots of conspiracy theories about CERN. There is also a conspiracy theory that states that some of the most powerful people in the world are actually anthropomorphic lizards (which kind of sounds like the kind of thing a furry would make up, now that I think about it).

Listening to this is as useful as listening a random person yap about the conspiracy theories they believe in. There is no new useful information to be gained. Only there’s a difference. When it’s a random person, at the worst case, they talk about them to try to convince you of said theories, for their own pleasure of convincing themselves that they are right. When it’s a billionaire like this one, at the worst case, they try to persuade everyone and their mother that what they are saying is, not just reasonable, but the absolute truth, and their PR team probably came up with it as a way to make people as likely as possible to hold billionaires accountable for the horrible shit they do. Which means that, in that supposed worst case, which would, mind you, be the most effective way for the billionaire to keep doing business as usual without interruptions, what the billionaire is saying is just a diversion tactic.
TLDR: Please stop focusing so much on what the billionaire says. They probably don’t really believe in what they’re saying. Please focus instead in the billionaire’s actions, because that’s what they probably don’t want you to do.
