@hyde too an extent yes, but once again, if you give root access to malware because you don’t know any better, well you’re kind of just as screwed. If linux is to become more mainstream and be a daily driver of the average user, this could be a common scenario
@hyde running sketchy files on linux can be just as dangerous as windows. Linux’s strength comes from it’s trusted ecosystem of repositories and mainly open source programs which are easily auditable.
@Ivyymmy The whole point of that site is to distribute viruses, so if you didn’t get one consider yourself lucky. You should run windows defender, malwarebytes and norton power eraser just to be sure
People still use the piratebay? Thought it was all viruses now
considering how early it is, this place is very active
I use private internet access for years with port forwarding after almost getting booted from my ISP, been fine here
It’s hilarious how people have literally paid app developers for a better way to experience reddit and he’s mad about that. Like sorry you’re a talentless hack. The only reason reddit is as popular as it is was down to the stars aligning back in the digg days. That’s about it, first mover advantage with your only other competitor shooting themselves in the foot.
Ya, I think in a case like this, it’s best to go with the most user friendly and easy to pick up distro
Ya, if anything the “protests” were just another power trip for them
Could you imagine being addicted to modding? What a sad life
Effectively, there is no benefit. But if you are looking for really niche stuff you can’t find on public trackers, you might have success on a private one with a focused category of torrents
