I’m curious where the security theater accusation comes from

Closed source ad-block that allows “unobtrusive” ads by default. They also ran a scheme a few years ago that replaced ads on web pages with their own and paid users tiny amounts of cryptocurrency for viewing them.

All this is marketed by them as browsing securely

Opera, like Edge and Brave is just Chrome in a trenchcoat

I’m no expert, but I read that self hosting your own instance doesn’t actually help with privacy since the search providers still track those requests and if you’re the only one using it, that’s just tracking you with extra steps.

Of course if you use a public instance, you have to then trust that the instance isn’t tracking you

No character growth, no arc, just in one scene he has no trouble murdering an innocent guy WHO HELPED HIM BTW, but later refuses to take out a military target HE WAS SUPPOSED to kill.

Yeah, it’s almost like the target he was about to assassinate could be the only person in the galaxy who knows how to take out the weapon he just witnessed level a city.

To say nothing of crapping all over the iconic opening of Star Wars by having Vader watch the Death Star plans fly away, personally, with his own eyes.

Those two scenes line up perfectly and imo are quite satisfying when watching the two films back to back. In what way does Rogue One’s ending “crap all over” A New Hope’s opening?

At the start of the year, we were having to kill 50 or more a day, some of them were huge, prehistoric era looking things. By the end of the year, we were only finding 1-2 a day and they were much smaller so we were definitely putting a lot of pressure on the population. Not sure if we would have wiped them out completely if we’d had to stay longer but I certainly wasn’t gonna stay in that place any longer than I had to.

Third year in University - when we moved in, it hadn’t been cleaned from the previous tenants, my parents were kind enough to come and help us clean and it took the five of us (during covid too so we were trying to social distance as much as we could) 3 days to get it into a livable state.

That was only the start though, over the course of those days cleaning, we started noticing these weird bugs everywhere. Yup. Massive silverfish infestation. Huge ones, small ones, every room, coming in through the floor, the walls, the ceiling, behind furnature, anywhere there was a gap, they’d slither out of. We had to spray insecticide all over the place which gave me bad headaches if there wasn’t enough ventilation.

Sometimes still, out of the corner of my eye, I’ll think I see one and kind of panic for a fraction of a second, I’m not sure if I’ll ever get over that.

It’s WSL, I think the logo is relatively new though or maybe not official idk

Damn, guess we all have to stop calling it peanut butter then 🙄
