Does Lutris require some special setup?

Using fitgirl repacks are a bit hit and miss for me. But if they don’t work, Lutris doesn’t help.

Many people my age have terrible boomer parents who just had kids because “that’s just what you do”. They didn’t even consider you could just not make babies.

Maybe we just think more for ourselves than the older generation.

hand over to the teacher

Weird. One teacher, so this is elementary school?

We only have to buy our own stuff starting middle school and it’s only pens and paper and such. And a backpack but mine lasted all 4 years.

spend an average of $701 per child

What are you Americans buying for school?

Some notebooks, agenda, pens, pencil, ruler… It’s not all that expensive

I haven’t used it in a while but Aeroinsta was good and probably safe (despite their shady website). Gets rid of unnecessary stuff like ads and allows downloading.

It shouldn’t be needed but if you want extra privacy, you can try torsocks.

Reminds me of when I joined some classmates to the supermarket. We got kicked out while waiting in line because they didn’t want middleschoolers there because we’re all thieves anyways. So most of the group walked out without paying.

It was interesting how random people came to talk to you and were really trying to get to know you. I don’t think that would work in modern day internet.

I knew they were around because at times I randomly remembered my ICQ number and I tried logging in, but they won’t let you if you forgot your password.

Everyone just copied everything from each other. Floppy, then Twilight CDs. Then came the internet and exploring music there was better than sitting around waiting for a song to come on the radio to quickly press record. It was normal when I was young to share, not really an active choice.

Depends on the country. I once got some people in trouble when I passed through Germany because I didn’t know internet is heavily censored/surveilled there. Haven’t had trouble anywhere else though. Do some research on your country.

The biggest threats come from the movie industry. Just use streaming sites for movies and series, torrent the other stuff.

Look into Tribler, I2P and Utopia.

On streaming sites (Fmoviesz), some mirrors have a download button. You can also use the Video Downloadhelper plugin for Firefox.

The Netherlands had a tax on blank CDs to “compensate” authors, essentially legalizing piracy (until the EU changed the rules).

The majority of those visits were to sites that allow users to download the audio from YouTube URLs.

This is not piracy. We’ve always been allowed to record e.g. radio and TV for personal use.

FYI It seems like at least the US government doesn’t want you to go there. So if Fmoviesz is down or something, you should be careful to avoid alternatives such as sflix.to, lookmovie2.to, flixtorz.to, sflix.to, movieuniverse.se, soap2dayto.day.

You can disable right click hijacking with dom.event.contextmenu.enabled in about:config, I don’t think you need an extension for that

I used to rely on news feeds through Firefox until they suddenly removed this feature. I switched to an RSS reader but around the same time, a lot of websites started dropping their RSS feeds. I’m out of the loop of why this happened and it’s probably one reason I feel so bored being online nowadays
