What’s the difference between your friends and family telling you important things and commenters here doing so?

While the interpretation and assessment may be different, they’re fundamentally the same.

I really don’t get the distinction between objective reality and subjective politics. They were mentioning the objective reality of politics influence, not the subjective practice of politics.

You are right

What do you think it makes you vulnerable to?

Port forwarding allows a connection to reach your fiber in the first place.

Advertisers aside, it’s a shame none of that money goes back to the manga authors.

IIRC some parts of that project were integrated into Firefox rendering engine. Was it layouting or something?

Here it is:

This included the Quantum project, when portions of Servo were incorporated into the Gecko engine of Firefox.

You’re talking about security, but really, none of the privacy questions are about technical security of the product.

“What if you miss a setting?” Then they’ll give you article recommendations or send your search query to the search engine you’re targeting in the first place. They’re really a long way from what you can call a security issue, or sharing personal data with random third parties or data brokers.

if they want to be FOSS or capitalist

I really don’t see any basis for this take. It’s not about picking one of two extremes, and the most extreme niches in those.

They create FOSS, and look for privacy respecting partnerships and investment so they can keep it going.

They added ToS because they’re integrating services, like their synced/backed up browser data and other respectful integration.

That’s all a long way from malice, or significant problematic behavior. And you still have more choice than on the other biggest alternatives.

I don’t think it is the best we could have, I would like it a bit different too, but the way you make it out to be is way overblown if not wrong.

Depends on your torrent client. Be careful that the client does not accidentally overwrite your files, replacing the completed content.

In qBittorrent you add the torrent without starting the download, and then let it or make it re-check [existing] files. it should then progress the check to completion with the correct files and file names in place.

If you have the torrent added and then put/move the files correctly, you can use the context menu “force re-check”.

When you then start that complete torrent, you’re seeding.

Here on Lemmy you can add an image and weblink to a post instead of having to add the weblink into the description.

What do you mean by safe? The linked readme has no mention of safety.

Stumbling over SimpleX again I found now that they do provide a desktop client. It’s just not very obvious on their website/room join with QR code page.

simplex chat only works with/on a mobile phone?

A while ago when I last used it one of the two services worked while the other didn’t. Have you tried both?

Or are you using a webbrowser with no WebAssembly support or WebAssembly disabled?

Does that work? I suspect the DRM content would not show.

Some streaming is not possible even when you can view it on the monitor.

I suspect that happens on the video driver or Windows rendering subsystem - where OBS would capture. I had issues like that trying to stream to my TV IIRC.

A quick search on OBS gives me - supporting my suspicion - https://obsproject.com/forum/threads/unable-to-record-hulu-and-other-drm-digital-rights-media-protected-content.130979/

I like that they were using ALL CAPS and you’re using all lowercase.

I’m not sure what you’re asking, but it seems you’re not aware of the huge AI model field where various AI models are already being publicly shared and adjusted? It doesn’t need piracy to see or have alternatives.

The key to hosted services like ChatGPT is that they offer an API, a service, they never distribute the AI software/model.

Other kinds of AI gets distributed and will be pirated like any software.

Considering piracy “around” them, there’s an intransparent issue of models being trained on pirated content. But I assume that’s not what you were asking.

Unclear whether they were hacked. A followup says:

We [Crunchyroll] have […] investigated the situation, and determined that there is no evidence that Crunchyroll’s systems have been compromised

They may have been fished.

Other than file-sharing or xdcc, where you can search for FLAC,

squid.wtf allows you to download FLACs from select providers.

Items detected as Generic.Malware.AI.DDS can be various types of malware and will be examined and classified at a later stage.

It does not detect is as definite malware, but their trained AI engine seems to conclude or hallucinate a high likelihood. Which may or may not be true.

Or is this actually a virus?

We, you, and they can’t tell from this alone. For a definite answer, a deeper analysis will have to be made.
