Absolutely nothing gets through

for legal reasons, I don’t pirate anything… but a friend told me that piracy is more convenient, and that it has more benefits (like, retain ‘ownership’ of content without annoying DRM)

train of thought (legal): what streaming service do I need to subscribe to to watch this? okay lemme go grab my wallet and sign up for an account

train of thought (piracy): click download

if companies don’t want you to pirate their media, they should make it more convenient and flexible to purchase legally. adding DRM and making things subscription-only will push more people towards piracy.

cryptography is not a scam

I tried explaining it in simple terms to a few non-tech-savvy friends and they said it sounded “too complicated.” and they’d rather just deal with the ads than mess around with it.

LOL! All of your sources are from Mozilla themselves. Delicious bias irony.

Not ironic at all. If missing the point was a flavor, you’d be the most delicious dish.

When Mozilla says that “Private Browsing does not make you anonymous on the Internet” you’re saying they’re lying? Are you telling me that private browsing does make you Anon? In that case you’re the liar.

Of course I’m going to link to Mozilla to give an example of their claims (true or not.) maybe if you think that they’re lying about the claim of “private browsing not making you anonymous” try to provide some reasoning as to why :)

Firefox can happily lie to you and you’ll buy it, you’ll buy it so much that you don’t see in between the lines.

bruh chill, how tf they lying? the feature works exactly as expected/advertised. it’s not Mozilla’s fault if people don’t know how to read.

“Important: Private Browsing does not make you anonymous on the Internet. Your Internet service provider, employer, or the sites themselves can still gather information about pages you visit. Private Browsing also doesn’t protect you from keyloggers or spyware that may be installed on your computer. To learn more, see Common Myths about Private Browsing.”

are you saying that free speech as a concept was invented by the US Government? and that the right to free speech can only be enforced by it?

free speech can mean, and has meant, many things to many different people. the concept has been around for over 1000 years. there’s plenty more to say about “free speech” than just the rights specifically provided to american citizens.
