Torrenting on the TOR network is actively discouraged. It uses a lot of bandwidth, and it hurts other people's speeds.

If you want to torrent on an anonymous network, use I2P. It may be harder to set up than TOR, but you can torrent entirely inside it. It has trackers inside, and a lot of clearnet torrents have also been listed on them. And most importantly, I2P is more prepared for torrenting than TOR is. When you connect to it, you add capacity to the network, so using bandwidth for torrenting is not as detrimental to it.

I torrent without VPN in the EU. I've been doing so for years. Still no letters as of writing this comment.

My Samsung microwave works just fine and has been doing so for the last twenty years

It is true, and I've seen it myself. At first I refused to believe, but sadly we're already at that state.

This. Actually most countries leave you alone if you're not trying to profit from torrents. I can say the same about Spain, I've never heard of anyone getting any warning for torrenting and half the people I know torrent everyday without a VPN.

That is exactly my point. If you use encryption, they will not be able to retroactively see what you torrented, and they can't punish you just for having torrent traffic because it could be legal torrents.

There's FinAmp for jellyfin. There's also support for LiveTV and I wouldn't be surprised if there was at least a plugin for IPTV.

There is encryption that will save you unless ISPs use shadow peers, which they can't use retroactively.

Edit, cuz I think the scope of my original comment has been misunderstood, my bad:

Of course, ISPs can still know you're torrenting, and if they don't like that, you will get letters. But they can't know what you torrented.

If you're gonna torrent, get informed about the laws in your country and how ISPs enforce anti-piracy measures, and if you can freely torrent in your country, there's no need to use a VPN. Encryption will save you from ISPs retroactively snooping on what you torrented.

VPNs are a barrier for torrenting. Some people don't want to pay (or can't even pay), and other people may find setting a VPN up difficult. This is not good advice.

Force encryption for bittorrent and you're already future proof.

You can't just fork a browser engine. You need a lot of resources to keep one alive. The only browser engine that I know of which was successfully forked was goanna. And that's a gecko fork from when it wasn't even multithreaded, and it still took years.

So, it depends on google

Brave is google

Usually autocorrect accuracy is directly proportional to info stealing by the keyboard. Google's autocorrect is so good because it's constantly phoning home with what people write so they can improve their model.

I use a keyboard with no autocorrect (Unexpected Keyboard), and, although it took a while to get used to it, I got used to typing fast and mostly accurately after some time using it. You can also get used to your autocorrect's quirks, and you'll find that you will type faster with it.

Brave is chrome

Vivaldi is google

I'm surprised nobody mentioned "All I Want For Christmas Is You" yet

Youtube Music ReVanced should be good, it's the legacy of Youtube Music Vanced, which has served me well for years, even after its takedown.

Protests are not made for other people to join, protests are made to show the government/ruling class that the workers are angry and how much harm they could do to their business. People joining in and becoming interested in the fight is a nice side effect.

Can you elaborate a bit more? I don't seem to understand what you mean.

Protests are only good if they're annoying. They're meant to be annoying. They're meant to make other people notice, to stop traffic, to cause delays and ideally an economic hit to the city. If nobody felt the protest, how do you expect it to have an effect?
