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.

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.

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.

Were they filled with spam? Or does your instance just really hate Star Trek lol

The one thing I would add, is that if you do switch you might want to consider reformatting your drives from NTFS to something linux compatible like ext4.

It can be a bit of a pain in your case though since you have so much to redownload afterwards

A human can "learn" to play an instrument in a vacuum with no access to anything other than the tool itself.
An AI is literally only able to "learn" when fed pre-made works by someone else.

Acting like there anything close to the same process is absurd.

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.

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.

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.

That whole album is fantastic.

They're not though, they're just forcibly replacing mods who don't want to open with ones who do want to open...

Totally different 🙃

When DeStefano tried to file a police report after the ordeal, she was dismissed and told this was a “prank call”.

Why am I not surprised.
