The price this is referring to is not monetary. It's the loss of access and goods.

Governments won't see your friend's private messages and thus not request IPs. They're fine.

 

From the conclusion:

Our research recommends using multi-method approaches to offer a comprehensive understanding of different media, such as social media, in terms of their role as a space for building and influencing public opinion.

Findings related to heightened affective prejudice in Singapore emphasize the need to foster cross-group harmony through interactions and communities on social media and possibly other public spaces that eschew the social and economic constraints evident in offline societies.

We recommend that policy efforts focus on literacy as a supplementary way to improve ingroup-outgroup relationships.

Dispelling prevailing stereotypes through fact checks and educational efforts on social media may offer a more viable alternative than efforts to curtail social media content altogether.

The executable being packed in an executable format means it has to be decompressed on each launch. If it doesn't it means it's not saving any space anyway.

I don't know what packing you're looking for, but Windows applications are typically installed with installers. An executable compressed executable goes against this; unless you want to pack installers.

Traditional file compression works well enough. People know to launch an msi or exe or read a README. Introducing non-standard tools is not necessarily a good idea, and certainly is not intuitive to users not already familiar with it.

I think variable bitrate is preferable. With a variable bitrate you don't have a single, specific, telling bitrate show up. In the end you depend on the encoder doing decent work. Which group names can be useful for, to identify and revisit good ones.

If you want to evade torrents;

The fansub group hi10anime has direct download links (ouo shortlink guarded, which is a non issue for me with ad blocker and browser addon auto-click). Only need a website account to see the post with links.

I know they have a Berserk 1997 encode/release. And other classic as well as recent anime.

It may just be coincidental. Chasing hosters and legal battles takes time.

Random instances can group, that's soll random.

Any large multi-national international competition with a significant public interest should have and require public access.
