If you want open source adoption to continue to be low, please, keep making comments like this.
If you want people to switch, the apps need to be appealing not a chore. And relearning a workflow you’ve fine tuned over decades is a serious chore and may even be detrimental to your job.
How does that work when all of the production happens in other countries now? Is there some scenario where we have a socialist white collar economy? All the rhetoric surrounding Communism fits a blue collar economy where production is still the key driver of the economy. Most “1st world” economies these days are service economies not production economies. Is there some literature on how Communism fits in with a service economy?
The issue is every competitor will use the same targeted ads. No advertiser who is not using targeted ads by utilizing tracking data will never be as competitive because their ads won’t be as effective.
Until we can kill these types of advertising by making laws against it or make tools that counteract them widespread enough that it makes the business unprofitable we will continue to have our data used against us.
I’m assuming they’re North American.
How does this work with local laws regarding 2 party recording? If you’re on a video call and this records the other party without their permission, that is AFAIU illegal in many states in the US. I’m sure in parts of Europe as well.
Yeah that’s not correct, downloading pirated content is still illegal, but it makes no sense for copyright holders to go after 1 person for a movie that costs $20.
You go after the uploader strictly because you can sue for damages for each person/ip they uploaded to. It’s just strictly a monetary and legal thing as to why only the uploaders are taken to court.
Pretty sure even if you block uploads with your torrent client you will still get a DMCA for downloading from a public tracker.

Lol wut, they never claimed servers were independently controlled. Maybe you just didn’t look into what you were signing up for.
When you go use different servers on Minecraft realms are you under any impression those are not controlled by Microsoft?
When you choose a different server on World of Warcraft do you think it’s a non-blizzard server?..
Like just because you put yourself into a state of bad false assumptions didn’t mean they tried to trick you. People have been saying this about discord from the beginning you just never cared to look.
Did you actually think this or are you just inventing a person in your mind that this has happened to? Lol
Cable TV exists
Customers hate it and people start pirating
Netflix comes around, other streaming services
People happy, piracy goes down
Streaming services go back to the way cable was, increased prices, reduced content, started bundling shit you don’t want.
Customers start pirating again
Surprised Pikachu face
The famous rap artist Biggie was also known as The Notorious B.I.G.
If you wanna help your case stop referring to women as “females”. It makes them sound like objects.
(U.S. specific rant incoming)
As long as they actually advocate for queer rights and don’t vote for politicians who do everything in their power suppress and restrict those rights.
The issue is many religious people value their religious “principles” more than they do voting for someone who would not repress the queer community.
So at the end of the day it feels very two-faced to me. While they may be nice to your face they have no problem voting for people who would condemn you to hell and treat you like animals because their single issue voting tendencies are ingrained.
I use a private tracker and never get any mentions from my ISP because the studios aren’t on the private trackers to search for IPs because they don’t get invited and also would get banned for not seeding.
I made the mistake of using a public tracker to download something I couldn’t find on my private tracker and got forwarded a DMCA notice the next day by my ISP.
On the flip side, if the genders were changed in this situation and the guy only wanted the woman because of superficial reasons like she was attractive or popular, how many people would be saying “he got what he deserves”
This is definitely one of those double standard situations. While we shouldn’t be victim blaming, I think there’s something to be said for calling out people who are willing to throw away an existing relationship or form a new relationship just because an “influencer” came up to them and they thought they were rich. And I think that’s what the poster you are responding to was getting at.
Yeah as others have hinted at this is going to be easier with a router/network level feature.
I’m sure there’s a way to do this by setting up a special virtual interface, limiting the bandwidth on that interface and then using iptables to redirect the apt traffic to that interface or something to that effect but I’m not a network engineer and I don’t have the experience to help with something like that. There might also be a way to do this with cgroups to limit the bandwidth but again that’s above my level of expertise.
Would be cool if the server wasn’t proprietary and closed source. Until I can look through the source code of the server I’ll stick to Signal who has open sourced everything and a very well security reviewed implementation.
It’s a different type of plastic, AFAIK it’s like a spray on polymer for the aluminum cans; But I think the biggest factor is probably UV degradation of the ingredients in the soda with the clear plastic bottles.
Aloomineeum
It’s true, but the amount of plastic in the cans is pretty negligible, especially compared to plastic bottles and the aluminum can is still by far the most recyclable beverage container.
Also there are new linings that don’t use plastic but natural materials called oleoresinous linings but they’re not good for acidic things so they’re not very wildly used.
I pray to the universe that that last scenario won’t happen, but I’m totally doing it now if it does.
