you could look into other ways of pirating, that don't necessarily require a vpn, instead. in may country it's mainly problematic to use torrents, because you automatically are sharing stuff as well. IRC is something that I never had a problem with, for example. you're only downloading and it doesn't cost you anything. there are xdcc search engines out there. The downsides are that it's a bit nerdy (is it a downside. though?) and you'll mostly find current mainstream content.

what's the technical basis for this anyway? is it safe to use without a vpn (ie. is it using p2p connections). didn't find something immediately in the docs, maybe someone can shed some light?

I really don't think this post deserves all the downvotes. I mean I get how you might feel differently about all or some of the topics the OP brings to the table, but it's not unfounded and certainly an interesting discussion.

For me, especially the part about sexism in Enterprise really resonated - I have always felt that this is among the worst aspects of the show. I also see points in mpst of the other criticism, although I think part of them can be interpreted differently. For example Section 31: Starfleet has not been a pure utopia since a long time, it's at least bureaucratic most of the time, with an even dimmer view on it in later series. Section 31 fits in there for me. I don't require stories to see the story through moral eyes, that can be a (sometimes painful) exercise left to the viewer. I don't know how much and when this is intended by the series, though.

In any case, I think it's well worth the discussion and ai'd like to thank the OP for the energy they spent in laying all this out.

I don't know what you want to highlight, unless it's "a lot of people don't like being confronted with discrimination". I see OP is passionate about it. But what's the problem there?

How important is port forwarding, actually?

I've been putting off renewing my mullvad membership because of the port forwarding thing. I only want to use it for torrenting. Is it really crucial to find a VPN that supports port forwarding? If so, what's the go to option now that it's becoming increasingly uncommon?

Is PIA still supporting Gab? They are burnt for me since they actively advertised them as affiliates...

It's a fascist social network
