I promise you that like 90% of the creepy stories you've heard are people either exaggerating or just straight-up lying to sound cool on the internet. The kind of stuff that actually needs to operate over the TOR network doesn't exactly want to be easily discoverable by normal people.

You're no more likely to accidentally stumble across illegal / dangerous content while using TOR than you are while using any other browser.

In theory yes, but practically speaking trying to access a lot of the modern web over TOR would be at best painfully slow and at worst almost impossible thanks to DDoS protection providers like cloudflare.

To simply use TOR you do not need to run any kind of guard/middle/exit relay (this has always been the case), but yes there is the risk of being held accountable for other users data while hosting an exit relay.

This hasn't gone away thanks to any legal precedent as far as I'm aware, so I imagine it all depends on the tech literacy of your local jurisdiction & how good of a lawyer you can afford.

Benefits of smoking cigarettes?

My girlfriend has threatened to break up with me several times now unless I cut down to a pack a week. I’m not addicted but it does help me get through my day. I keep trying to tell her that but she doesn’t believe me and keeps saying that it’s actually bad. I want to prove to my girlfriend that smoking cigarettes is...

There are none. It is carcinogenic.

Risks of using selfhosted wireguard vpn (hetzner) for p2p

Hi, In short: will I run the risk of receiving an angry Hetzner e-mail telling me to stop downloading torrents when I configer my local deluge client to connect through a local gluetun VPN client to a selfhosted wireguard vpn on a hetzner server? I have limited knowledge of VPNs but as far as I understand it the connection...

I made a kbin and a beehaw account originally, then left beehaw when they raised a ton of red flags about how incapable they were at moderating at scale. Then I made a Vlemmy account until the insurance just disappeared overnight. So at this point I'm on kbin exclusively by accident I guess, but I do like the default mobile UI and the Artemis app more than any of the current lemmy UI options (though I am waiting eagerly for Sync).

Curious what parts of kbin are confusing or more difficult to use when compared to Lemmy?

As far as I can tell, they're mostly the same, especially coming from Reddit

Same, k-anything has just been beaten into my brain as "oh a KDE app!"

Good. Until a studio can point to a known-dataset that isn't just ripping art illegally from sources they don't have the rights to use then it's just not worth the risk.

It's not 100% unrealistic that large studios like Blizzard and Riot (who have very clear styles that "work well" with AI generation weirdness) will eventually have huge in-house datasets that they own since it's all created under the umbrella of their employees and contractors who already sign away all the rights when they make content for the games they're working on. But until that happens, it's so obviously a red flag / great area that Valve's move is just a no-brainer.

If you can't tell the difference between learning as a human being, and selling content that you don't own the rights to, then I don't know what to tell you.

But you do know, and you're just being disingenuous intentionally.

StrongFox, to gaming

Can someone recommend me a game for my kids (10, 6, 6) for the Switch. They love Scott Pilgrim vs. The World. It should be Multiplayer, so all 3 can play. Wo do have all the big nintendo titles like Mario Cart and Mario Party.

TMNT was mentioned, and I also +1 that

I would also add Castle Crashers as a recommendation, though it might be a little too bloody / violent for your kid's age range.
