Sad to be honest. People are actively demanding the dismantle of welfare state here in the Nordics too. Arbeit macht frei and so on.

The post mentions Africa though, does it make a difference?

What makes you think that a global crisis would reduce humanity to tribes and clans? Isn't it more likely that desperate times result in something more like a global government and more systematic enslavement of humans? How could the owning class ever pass on the opportunity of not having to work and instead utilize their workers as efficiently as possible?

I just can't believe you could wear a flowy floral print summer dress and be considered a dependable guy by everyone. Some cultures put such an high effort to preserve their old ways that I can't see that going away in 100 years, or even 300 years. The rest of us unfortunately have to play by their rules and taboos.

Someone pointed out that Pro version still doesn't require sign in. I've only dealt with Pro and didn't know it's different than Home in this thing. Sorry for being overly confident.

Yep, if you can daily any linux distro but struggle to install Windows it's an attitude issue. Windows 11 is arguably the most user friendly OS ever made.

The illegal activity in question is not implementing stricter measures of preventing under 13 year olds of using the service without a parent's consent. I really wonder how it's possible to verify a kid's parent's consent in the first place. I guess Facebook and others manage to do that but I have no idea how.

Storage isn't nearly as expensive as it would seem looking at normal consumer cloud storage pricing. I think they also clear the cache of truly obscure content after a while. And I also think some of the "cached" content isn't even stored on their own servers, but is actually streamed from one of the 3rd party direct download services. That would ease the storage and traffic load massively.

It's the most commonly spoken (Western) language that uses a lot of compound words with and without dashes. I always tend to think there's a German speaker involved when I see dashes used in English where a native English speaker wouldn't use a dash, hah.

Real-Debrid logs your all data. If they're ever hacked or cracked down by police, you can be in danger. In many countries there's a risk of heavy fines if you get caught pirating media.

When you stream something, the link to the file is automatically added to your RD account. You can use that link to download the file. Or you can skip the streaming part and just add stuff to your library and download them.

I've wondered if Real-Debrid actually is German made too. The dash in the name gives that vibe.
