    Kim dotcom is how I imagine John McAfee if he became a billionaire.

        A family friend of ours knew the guy. He was even more batshit insane than the stories make him seem.

        I briefly met him at Defcon years ago and got an immediate off putting vibe to say the least. Then I saw him get up and tell his unhinged life story which then lead to a pitch for some crypto bullshit. I wish I had saved the 60 or so seconds I spent talking to him.

    Dotcom is now effectively Musk’s hanger-on of a somewhat insane type. He posts a lot of megalomaniac and incoherent right-wing stuff (and I mean incoherent even by right-wing standards), as seen here. He hasn’t had anything to do with MEGA for many years, he’s been in a sort of exile in New Zealand, and frankly he seems as if he’s isolated and mentally deteriorating.

    Very interesting that he points out that a guy is Jewish, does not give good vibes. Ofc most of the things he’s done don’t give me good vibes either.

    Anyway, I can’t remember the last time I’ve used Mega, for anything. None of the cool sites use them, afaik. There’s like a million better sites now, and the best stuff is in Russia, since they barely touch piracy sites. it’s so often in a piracy sites lifecycle for them to start on a normal tld, get banned, move to a weird tld, get banned, then move to a cool foreign countries tld.

      Definitely seems like an antisemitic jab, and yeah he way overestimates how much pirates use and care about Mega in this day and age.

    Back when I was in Jordan, I visited a music store. They had a big screen on the wall with Windows Explorer open with a huge catalog of .mp3s. You could choose anything and they would burn the CD for you. Everything was clean and tidy as you would expect for a shop in a central location. Made me aware of how much legislators work to protect the rights of those few companies that own the rights.
