I’ve cancelled Netflix. Just wasn’t using it enough for the price. Instead I will entertain myself by downloading Linux distributions on BitTorrent.
Awesome! But I hope you aren't using the actual program "bitTorrent" cause that shit had a litany of privacy and security issues that I don't even know where to start describing. A good one nowadays is qBitTorrent
You don't solve that by using another program. You try to reduce the damage by using the torrent client in a dedicated virtual machine and reset the machine to the original image at regular intervals.
Yeah or you could, you know, just download a program that isn't problematic.
