KDE these days is better at being Windows than Windows. Dunno how long it's been since you've used it (or how much/little you tinkered with it)

Seems like you might be the one who needs to get out of the house...

The nobel prize comitte has since long abandoned Nobel's will in this matter

How long? Wouldn't this just kind of suggest that criteria is simply different at this point? Maybe complex electronic devices didn't exist back then, so one can really only guess as to what he would think. Because he's been dead for a very long time...

The prize is named after the dude, he doesn't get to decide the rules of its award in perpetuity.

Sometimes I try to imagine what life could be like if people weren't constantly doing everything they can to break and exploit our system...

Another symptom of extremely silo'd educations. As someone in a STEM field who took a couple years extra to graduate because they didn't declare a major for two years, I see this shit constantly. Clearly, very intelligent people who have been once again let down by our education system, but this time at the University level.

To the point where I will probably get downvotes and angry replies about how learning that other stuff is useless. But I can tell you that it's absolutely not. I'm an engineer, and "Logic and Language" is still, by far, the most important course I've ever taken..

The person is literally talking about their real life job... Maybe it's a foreign concept to you, but I'm not sure you can get more "grass touch" than that, bud.

Just use mullvad. Pay for it with Monero if you're super paranoid.

Private trackers are no more "secure" than public aside from the barriers to entry... However, it's not like someone working for the MPAA couldn't pass an interview or whatever it is they do these days...

I'd still use a VPN if I were still on private trackers.

That said, I use a VPN always, so... 🤷🏻
