I’ve quit drinking coffee two weeks ago. I felt really numb for 8 days, and then I started to just feel normal again. Before I drank way too much coffee. Now I don’t know what to do, if I want to drink a little bit of tea every day or if I want to use caffeine just on an occasional basis trying to avoid any dependency. For now I’ll stick to 0 caffeine for a little longer and see how I feel. But I’d be curious to know other peoples experiences or advice.

Been using it for 15 years or so. It was good back then, it’s still good now. Chrome has never been an alternative for anyone who knows what Google is.

People who say piracy is theft are wrong, actually holders of intellectual property are thieves that are stealing that what should belong to the public domain. When you pirate you make a copy of something, you don’t take anything away from the other person. That’s fundamentally different from theft. When you force people to pay for a free resource (copying data) you are creating artificial scarcity. To think that construction is helping society in any way is fooling yourself. It’s very clearly limiting human creativity and freedom. Allowing people to do with it as they please free of charge would allow for better ideas and applications to emerge. When someone comes up with an idea (a medicine, product, song, whatever) they claim it as theirs and no-one can touch it. Look at it this way: someone invents the wheel. The wheel is a concept that is out their, waiting to be discovered by someone. Before it was discovered it was readily available for anyone to discover, but than someone finally invents it and suddenly he can claim it as his? Is the first one to discover the moon, the one who owns it? Ultimately songs and books and such are not fundamentally different. Also, no-one writes a songs out of nothing, you build upon the ideas of others. You walk the path, use all the stepping stones laid down by others, it brings you to a point and suddenly it’s all yours? It doesn’t make any sense at all, but we’re so used to it that we can’t see it for what it is. It’s a scam. It’s a monopoly and it doesn’t belong in a free society. You should support creators and be thankful for their efforts, that’s why trademarks should exist, if you want to buy the copy from the author himself you should know which product to buy through the trademark, which one is by the original creator and which copies are from third-parties. But all other intellectual property is theft from the public domain.

LimeWire was terrible. Quickly switched to Soulseek and have been using it ever since. Actually Nicotine+, but that’s besides the point.
