Why do folks hate crunchyroll here so much? I've been torrenting anime before like everyone else, but a couple years gap later I have found it more convenient to pay $9/mo or whatever and watch shows interchangeably on TV, PC, tablet and phone. I get it, I could do this using self-hosting with various tools, but all those have an upfront cost for a media server and time invested in figuring out how I can make it all work seamlessly on a 2017 LG TV, an iPhone, Linux and a shitty Samsung tablet, plus potentially subscription fee for seed box and/or VPN as well. Whereas crunchyroll just works and if I get tired of anime again, I'll just cancel the service.

The only thing I don't like about crunchyroll is the lack of dubbed kids shows.

Yes, the difference being that one is a war and the other is just plain old genocide.

It sounds like the problem is not with the feds but with the DMCA. It needs to be overturned.

Is the country of Linus beholden to sanctioning those countries?

I think the problem goes deeper. Their page tracks everything you do and then sells that data to third parties. UBO only blocks ads and tracking.

The only way to prevent linkedin from selling data related to you is to not use their site at all.

I work in fintech, specifically in the payments industry for a company that has a huge vertical spread. And damn let me tell you, we (along with the big ones like MC, Visa, Amex) just skim the delicious foam off the top of everything... right into the pockets of the exec team who keep doing weekly stupid motivational videos from every corner of the world.

I think governments should start thinking about nationalizing the shit out of this instead of everyone paying these stupid nepomonkeys. I don't care if I'd be out of a job, I can find something else.

I see this shit about Chomsky being regurgitated like once a week somewhere, and every time I actually read the source material that someone like a YouTuber is referring to, I just come to the realization that people can't read for shit and don't understand philosophy and hypotheticals.

Not that I do, but Chomsky is definitely not full of shit, nor a genocide denier.

Dunno. But this post is about Linus Torwalds booting Russians from an open source project due to their association with a warmongering regime. It's nothing to do with the US.
