Hi, Your dedicated local Secret Service agent here.
We don't need your smartphone to access your data. We have surveillance equipment for that.
That is why we can scan the qr code of your ID app and do the checks we need.
If you want us not to track you, you need a degoogled smartphone and use cash exclusively. Also you could use a vpn while you browse the interwebs, but we ll still be, eventually, able to see where you browse.
BTW we don't stop randomly ppl on roadblocks. You or your car or your route or all of the above was of concern for us.
Thing is that when something similar happened in France, all hell broke loose. Strikes went on for a long time.
And even though the pension plan passed with a presidential degree rather than through parliament, the president became so unpopular, that the country is in shambles now
Video games always used to be an economic way of entertainment.
With an amount equal to a restaurant dinner you could be entertained for hundreds of hours.
Nowadays, video games follow the trend of enshitification. Low quality, repeated material, bad gaming experience, data hoarding, the need to be always online even for a single player game and of course, the "you don't own, we can take it away anytime we want" mentality.
According to the court rulling, if you essentially want to play retro games, you should find a way to access the original hardware and run the software in mostly proprietary mediums like cartridges that could be damaged or corrupted.
And the reason you can't do it is because you may actually have fun!
This ruling is so bongers it blows my mind.
So you should never, ever ever
Use emulators like Retroarch
Find the ROMs of various systems you like in various "archives" through the interwebs for research purposes ofcourse
Use a frontend like ES-DE or launchbox to make things look beautiful.
Scrape content through screenscraper or something similar to make your frontends even more beautiful.
5.Keep in mind that this combo ( Retroarch + frontend) works in mostly cross platform (windows, Linux, android etc.)
After all, as a researcher you have to be able to tinker a little bit.
The increase in energy consumption globally is still bigger than the increase of energy production from renewables.
When this happens, hopefully soon, we will start seing reductions in fossil fuel, and especially oil, cosumption.
The adoption of EVs will increase further as soon as bettery cosy falls further, wich is expected in the next few years due to increased supply of lithium and thecnologiasl breakthroughs in EV energy mangement
As everyone else here, I think piracy is illegal and immoral. We should accept that we don't own our services and software and we should never doubt that corporations have our best interest in mind.
Therefore you should never have a Plex server, never use protonmail, never use AdGuard Home, never use AdGuard DNS for private DNS.
Also you should never use Firefox with UBlock origin sponsorblock and consent o magic.
Lastly you should never ever use re-vanced and x-manager, and God forbid don't use a VPN
Already bought a VPN subscription with PIA and also setup a private DNS with cloud-flare on my android smartphone and tablet. Will look into the PC settings later.
I LL take a look into Mullvad later as well since I saw it's a fork of Firefox which makes it a very interesting prospect.
Provided that microdick Vlad doesn't pull a Ukraine on the country for trying to have democracy, and entering the EU and NATO
