The second link (pharmacyknowhow.com) redirected to an advertisement for "Lust Goddess", which appears to be a lewd video game. I opened the link again and it redirected to a page on Amazon selling a cultured pearl necklace.
Prescription medications sometimes do harm. Even so, many drugs prevent far more premature deaths than they cause. That's why we have national drug regulators: to evaluate evidence as to whether each new drug is safer on the whole than leaving the condition untreated.
Imagine if Vizio were to become the first pro-consumer TV.
The MPA member movie studios would probably withdraw their respective streaming services from Vizio's platform on grounds that a user-modifiable free operating system fails to satisfy the "compliance and robustness" rules of whatever digital restrictions management protocol they use.
Seriously who bothers with the crapware built into a tv anyway? Just use it as a dumb screen and attach other devices to it.
First, the user needs to know that "a cheap little computer" exists and can be connected to a TV. Walmart and Best Buy haven't been doing a good job of marketing these to the public. Second, the user needs the spare time to learn to administer yet another computer. Third, the user needs to be satisfied with some services limiting streams to 480p because a desktop computer running Linux and Firefox has a low "integrity level" in Widevine.
I download all my books DRM-free from bittorrent.
My ebook reader is an ancient Sony PRS-650, it still works fine and it has no trouble reading files that haven't been messed up by Amazon. What a concept eh?
"What about the book's authors who aren't getting paid when you download their stuff for free?" I hear you say:
Yes, I wish I could pay for what I downloaded. But I can't. The best option I could find was to buy the paperback as well, so some of my money would trickle back to them. But that's mighty stupid and totally not environmentally-friendly.
I did try to pay an author directly once (the late Ian M. Banks) but he send me an angry email back saying even if he got money from me, I was robbing his editor and distributor, and I should just buy his book normally - which I would, if that didn't entail leaving an undeserved cut to effing Amazon.
So there we are: there's no mechanism to legally buy books that aren't hamstrung by DRM. So honest people who value their consumer rights can't be honest.
"The use of wood as an energy source is a relic of the past, one that should not be relived if given a choice.
Wood burning is very much alive - both old-stylee polluting open-fires and stoves, and ultra-efficient pellet, wood-chip and wood dust burning in power stations. And it's renewable. Try visiting any nordic country some day...
Also, just because burning wood has downsides doesn't mean it has to be ditcheds it entirely. Solve the downsides instead...
Very few ISPs intentionally block inbound TCP.
One U.S. ISP that technically blocks inbound TCP over IPv6 is T-Mobile Home Internet (fixed wireless). The gateway appliance included with the plan offers no way to forward a port to the subscriber's computer. (Source) I've read that most major U.S. ISPs threaten to disconnect a home subscriber for running a publicly accessible server. (Source)
IPv6-only [...] site is inaccessible to users stuck on legacy networks
One large legacy network in the U.S. is Frontier fiber, which is still IPv4-only in 2026.
CloudFlare was an aggressive global internet surveillance and privacy invasion operation. Now it's an AI-powered aggressive global internet surveillance and privacy invasion operation.
Why don't I feel excited about it?
Crypto grift, AI bubble and psychopathic billionaire CEO.
It'll help exactly as much as Unreal experience helps if you apply at a Godot shop.
In case your answer is "Well there aren't many Godot shops", then why is that?
What you're claiming is that somehow there's an international cross party conspiracy between American government agencies, American religious fundies and some much more left wing governments in Australia, France and the UK, and somehow no one has blabbed.
There's no organized conspiracy as much as a less-formal worldwide shift in the Overton window toward more surveillance and less tolerance of erotica and nontraditional gender expression. Left-wing governments in other countries are just as eager to surveil their citizens. Look at how the People's Republic of China has expanded criminal background checks into a numeric "social credit score." The UK has its own share of conservatism; just look at Brexit and the "TERF Island" movement. And as long as global economies depend on hydrocarbon fuel from the Middle East, Salafis (Arabic for "reactionaries") will continue to have a platform.
Who is "them"?
Anonymous Coward mentioned two categories of "them". In case you don't see AC comments, I'll rephrase:
1. Government agencies interested in performing the same sort of predictive policing that led to Terrorism Information Awareness of the early 2000s.
2. The sort of religious conservatives who ultimately want sex and violence purged from even media intended for grown-ups, as we saw with Collective Shout pressuring payment processors to pressure itch.io to remove erotic works.
What did you get in return for giving up basically all of your genitals by getting them cut off?
Reduced mental workload in having to put on a show of meeting society's behavior expectations for one's assigned gender all the time.
How is Unreal Engine noticeably superior to Godot in a way that noticeably affects a beginner learning video game development for the first time?
Why not just use Unreal Engine?
Unreal Engine is proprietary software with a free replacement that is adequate for beginners. That's why.
That does not compute.
