But it’s been free for a really long time

Of course it has. You need to offer the world a useful service for some length of time before you have dominated the market to such an extent that you can cut the quality and jack up the prices without there being any meaningful competition to worry about.

So who exactly does own OpenSubtitles Group Limited, and what are their motivations? If you're claiming to know, I assume you must be some kind of insider? Because they don't seem to be all that open about it. Otherwise we can only judge by their actions.

Could be worse. Someone sharing my IP is into really freaky stuff like "kubuntu-23.10-desktop-amd64.iso"

Sure, but if you can find an air-cooled VW bus that's still running in this decade they're probably asking $30k for it.

It's remarkable that Tibetan culture has been so tenacious that there's anything left of it today. If the government of 50 years ago had been able to exert the kind of control over its people that they do today, it's hard to imagine that it wouldn't have been fully eradicated by now.

There is a kind of political power that grows out of the barrel of a gun. That thing must be destroyed.

Somehow I get the feeling that equating "reality" with "propaganda created by kindergartens" is the rhetorical equivalent of dividing by zero.

I love it, but it was pretty messy a lot of the time in various different ways. My impressions were:

Season 1: Brilliant, really good science fiction
Season 2: Fun episodic comedy sci fi
Season 3: Sometimes weird, sometimes gruesomely tedious
Season 4: Trying to be more like a normal comedy TV show, results mixed

Am I running the risk of getting my Google account banned for logging into the Aurora Store or a custom rom like GrapheneOS?

I guess there is no need to introduce what a Degoogled phone is (or a custom ROM without google services, like GrapheneOS is) and the Aurora Store is basically said in a crude way the Google Playstore but without the need to log in to your Google account, quite useful in my opinion....

Nobody will be able to give you a definitive answer. Google's ways are unknowable. You are running the risk of losing your Google account by having a Google account.

Yes but what did Tucker Carlson, Alex Jones, and Ben Shapiro have to say about it? What about David Duke? Was he unavailable for comment? You can't just go to Elon all the time, let's get some diversity of opinion in there.

I have a dim memory of hearing somewhere that you need to run SkyrimSELauncher.exe first at least once to create .ini files and such.

I was going to suggest you just spend the $6 or whatever to buy the game on Steam, but apparently they're asking $53 for it now. What the fuck Bethesda. Maybe they had to raise the price to stop it selling more than Starfield. Anyway, good luck.

I've had issues running stuff even on debian. Too often the people packaging things just assume you're using Windows to run your Windows executables like some kind of noob.

Apparently some doctors are of the opinion that keeping your mouth shut can also be helpful in severe cases of Rick Berman disease.

Ah right, there was a book I've been meaning to download. Thanks for the reminder, FBI!

There seems to have been some mistake. I was expecting the Bajoran inquisition.
