MoSattler··on Netflix: Piracy is difficult to compete against and growing rapidly
I find myself paying for an illegal IPTV service, just so I can watch soccer from my home country while living elsewhere.

So, reluctantly, the 'less legal' route ends up being the more practical service for me.
MoSattler··on Science's Assault on Free Will
100%

The author themself appears to be unclear about the specific stance they are opposing. While it doesn't seem like they are strawmaning intentionally, they are arguing against positions that no reasonable person actually holds.

MoSattler··on Science's Assault on Free Will
> For, there is clearly bound up in such arguments the assumption that those being reasoned with are free to change their minds based on the merits (or demerits) of the evidence presented.

Why is it necessary to assume the existence of free will for a person to be capable of evaluating new evidence and have a subsequently revised opinion based on this new information?

MoSattler··on Roundcube open-source webmail software merges with Nextcloud
