I mean, you can probably still get 300 different variants of that on aliexpress for less than $10

Sparky, Manjaro, Ubuntu or Debian testing, depending.

I wish more of them would support duckduckgo's bang system, brave seems to, but that's about it. Idealogically I find the idea of using brave troublesome because of a) Eich's transphobia, and b) the cryptobro factor (although I don't think the search page has an embedded miner, at least not from the cursory glance I took

'C3d' could be C* but probably not because it's very esoteric and odd

They check the license key hasn't been revoked via a DNS lookup, but not at install time, so often the user installs, uses, then miraculously finds it disabled a few weeks later; then runs to find a new copy/keygen and the whole situation starts again.

(e: they also route the DNS lookup via bonjour if it's running, so you have to keep bonjour segregated from the internet too, which can cause other problems)

Sadly, they do license key checking via a DNS lookup, and not all application-level firewalls block DNS.

Adobe 'mistakenly' gave away CS3 at one point for a week or two. I think I still have a copy of that somewhere.

It was when they first started the online-only option, and they published a link to the CS3 files and the 'legacy' license key 'in case you need to use it while offline', and only later realised they'd forgotten to clarify that they were only for users that already owned it (which makes you wonder why they'd include a legacy license key). They soon realised and backtracked.

Normally, I use bspwm, but I recently was forced to switch to wayland, so I've been using sway, it's not perfect, but I'll probably get used to it, and I haven't fully configured it yet.

I'd just like to point out that Assange isn't a US citizen, Snowden is probably who the person was grasping for
