Ours is the only Solar system, because our star is named Sol. Other star systems have other names.

You are correct. There would be no copyrights or patents in a free market.

"Auto-plague"

Copyrights and patents are literally government enforced monopolies for huge companies. Without them, there would be a lot more competition.

I made a new Reddit account through Mullvad a while ago and immediately got shadow banned. Reddit has been aggressive against new users who use TOR/VPN and browsers that resist fingerprinting.

Fair enough, I only tried the big instances. I will try lemmy.org as another user suggested.

I had tried making a Reddit account through Mullvad recently, but it shadowbanned me. Same through TOR. Unfortunately some communities I want to participate in are concentrated over there.

The problem is that Reddit shadow bans new accounts that use TOR or any browsers that resist fingerprinting. I know because I tried recently.

Yes, I will exclusively use TOR for this purpose.

This looks really promising. Thank you!

I should have communicated more clearly. Pseudonymous is fine, as long as it cannot be tied back to my real identity via tracing my IP address or whatever.

It's not completely impossible. We still don't know who Satoshi Nakamoto is, for example.

I know instances will have to divulge logs if ordered, hence my bid to use TOR/VPN. If there is no way to do that, then I will think of some other way to communicate with people.

Thank you, I will keep timing attacks in mind when making my posts. Writing style recognition is not a big problem since they won't have any samples to compare my posts against.

Thank you, I am being careful with that.

That is true. The upcoming Cosmic DE, however, can be customised to look more Windows-like I believe.

I could use TOR, but sadly it is unrealistic to expect everyone else to use TOR so a .onion address won't work.

Pop!_OS has an option to enable automatic updates.

Companies such as Disney have armies of lawyers to enforce their monopolies. Copyright and patent laws are designed exclusively for the rich.

Disney can very well "steal" other people's work and get away with it under this system. Without such laws, everyone else would be able to "steal" from Disney as well, which would level the playing field.
