    i look forward to seeing australia return to the warm loving embrace of bittorrent

    kids these days don't know how to torrent and it's so sad, I can only hope this kind of shit motivates a renaissance of piracy

      in their defense, its taken the government many years of repeated failures but its now legitimately tricky to access decent torrent sites in australia if you dont know what youre doing

      but these young whippersnappers are good with the computers and the internets and whatnot, im sure theyll figure it out

        They're actually not. Older millennials are genuinely the most tech-savvy, younger millennials and zoomers have been conditioned by iPads and other walled garden computing experiences to expect a certain level of non-complexity and ease of use. When everything was hard to use, people had to figure it out if they wanted to do anything, now that it's easy, the stuff that's still hard seems impossible in comparison.
