I'm crying for them.

Grandma adopted a puppy when I was probably 8 or 9. It got parvo. I remember going to her house and asking where the puppy was. She told me that he was sick, so he had to stay outside and I couldn't go outside for the same reason. When I would ask where the puppy is, she would tell me that he's on the side of the house where I couldn't see him. This went on for a long time, I never saw the puppy again and eventually forgot about it entirely.

A decade or two later I found out that my grandma had spent thousands of dollars trying to keep that puppy alive, but parvo took it anyways. She was very upset about it's passing and instead of having me go through it too, she lied to me about it until I completely forgot about it.

I have been using tribler for a few years. It works well, abeit a bit slower than a plain torrent program, but still very reasonable.

I see a lot of people talking about using I2P for torrents but, as far as I know, I2P cannot use torrents from outside the I2P network. In addition to this, there is a non-trivial setup and confusing interface that people need to learn, whereas Tribler acts like any other torrent program, just with onion style routing. I really like I2P, but there's still more work to be done to attract more people and make it a truly viable alternative for most torrent needs.

I buy movie tickets and I also watch cams. Sometimes I watch before, because I can't make it to the theater yet, sometimes afterwards so I can have a repeat watch. Sometimes I watch and the movie is trash, so I save money to spend on a different one. Sometimes the cam rips aren't good enough to watch, other times, they are near DVD quality.

I have been watching cams and going to the movie theater since the 90s and I doubt that will change, but I never understand the hatred aimed at people who watch cams. Why bash on people who are enjoying something that you do not?

Yeah, I'm not installing DRM to watch anything on any service. I'll pirate, thanks very much.

Tried Redhat in the late 90s, but I really started using Linux with Mandrake, a few years later.

Everything is accessible, but only through n2n vpn.

This information is good, but overwhelming for newbies. This is what I tell people interesting in using Linux:

Start with Linux Mint. If you decide later on that you want to delve deeper, check out distrowatch for a good list of distros with descriptions.

You sound like my buddies 10yo daughter when she hops online to play games with us. "Everything is not fair, I want it to magically change without my intervention and I don't want to do anything about it or be told to take action or take advice that is given."

Covering IRL advertisements is the only thing that interests me with this sort of tech. I would love to cover billboards with random memes or even just erase them. THAT would be a reason worth looking goofy as hell for.

I have Philips hue lights throughout the house. My son is green, my daughter is purple and red is both. Sometimes I'm lazy and just turn the lights on and off instead of changing the color.
