“No, because *proceeds to explain the definition of a service problem *”
My guy if they export only some mangas and animes, much slower, and with lower quality than pirates, then shoot the characters with the american ray; why should i pay them instead of having a superior and closer to original experience?
I’m already paying for HDDs and other hardware for my home media library, I’d rather pay for a service and save my time, but they won’t do it right.
Even for unexpected/accidental deaths, this has an easy fix: Put my bitwarden master password on my will.
The XZ topic was way more complicated than that and overly exaggerated by some people. Open source is still the closest thing we have to “safe by default”.
Still, as someone else stated, if you’re not hosting it’s not truly open source as you can’t really verify the actual code running behind the server.
My god i shouldn’t have read the thread you crossposted from
Glorious ship btw
Who said anything about torrenting something illegal 👀
As far as I’m concerned, everything i discuss here is for educational purposes only and even if you share info about “your” setup, it’s just hypothetical. Not your fault if someone you totally don’t know has the same setup you described and uses it for illegal activities.
For me the ideal replacement would be to have a client supporting both lemmy and matrix. The UI would likely be an abomination tho.
I prefer Matrix communities over Discord servers, but both are mediocre forum replacements. I wish forums would return, but the heydays of PHPBB seem long gone.
Also prefer forums for most stuff, in group chats the relevant info gets lost easily, it’s harder to moderate, and impossible to continue a topic in medium-big communities. I think most people like discord over post because they don’t like the “create topic each time you wanna talk” dynamic, but then everyone started using thread channels the moment discord added them. It could be more reasonable to have one “general” chat then the rest be posts (kinda like amino i guess?), rather that implementing a whole forum inside an instant messaging app.
Do you think this would pass the grandma test? If so I’m 100% going to host this (mainly for my mother, hence the question)
Hard agree on this. Sell software and services to companies, only sell services to end users. I believe both selling your service as a dev and selling a service behind a free app are compatible with copyleft.
Earlier this week i ended up pirating some games i actually own because it was easier that way than the official one (which involved going through 3 freaking launchers for one game!), so there’s the answer lol.
Trusting someone for convenience isn’t ideal, but not everyone has the time and resources to audit, compile, and host a dumb frontend for yt. Most of the people here is good enough trusting literally anyone except a big tech company, including FOSS devs, the people who check the code, and public instances of their software. Even considering recent drama (solved by the community btw) I’d trust any FOSS project over google any day.
Once a software vendor demonstrates theyre untrustworthy, why would I risk using their products?
How are you using windows then? They’ve had innumerable security breaches, not to talk about how MS demonstrates again and again that the only thing they care about is money. Does “trustworthy” mean “american” or “only sells my data to the USA gov and other US companies” then sure, it is trustworthy as fuck.
Of course you will invalidate that with some mental gymnastics, but this same thing happens even with freaking usb (charge only, mind me) cables from aliexpress, with people saying they have fucking chips to spy on you. Again, racism.
And spare us from the sophist personal attack on people you disagree with
Try to put it however you want, but hating anything that comes from one place just because of that, then adding excuses is fucking racist.
except there’s no question of there being significant Russian efforts to meddle in the US and other countries.
And here comes the grand patriotic justification for racism! If you really don’t have shit to say about the actual software, just block me or something and spare me from your presence :)
I haven’t found a serious critic that didn’t rely on fucking racism yet. If the only real argument is “rUsSian cOmPAny bAD” but you’re ok with USA companies, you’re just braindead.
I don’t even use windows for that same reason, but if a windows user asks me, based on past experiences with low end computers (where you can actually tell the diference), I’d always recommend kaspersky for performance and malwarebytes for precision.
Pro tip: Downvotes without arguments only prove my point.
Oh i also agree with that, just wanted to clarify that
Extremely case where I’m going to defend windows; but Ms Defender never killed performance in a pc even if i had a low-end one.
Considering all the bloatware windows has, OP would be better off fighting like literally every other program except Defender…
“This is completle free to use, download, modify, redistribute, etc by anyone except Dave. Fuck Dave.”
I don’t know how legal that’d be, but i wouldn’t even complain.
What a bunch of greedy clowns. Not only that’s illegal to do afaik, it’s not even technically possible. Hell even if they could, that would accomplish absolutely nothing.
The only thing they could’ve try to pull was to ask spanish ISPs to block IPTV altogether, but then again, easily solved with a VPN. Stupid fight to pick if you ask me.
Nobody taught me, so I’m not teaching anyone. Nobody banned me from doing it tho, so there’s my answer. Piracy is a consequence of freedom, among other things.
No it is not by a long fucking shot. Our “socialist” party is NOT socialist, they’re just “left” wing corrupted liberals. We basically only have [insert color]-wing corrupted liberals, anyone stating otherwise is just too deep in propaganda.
Google is an advertising company first, everything else second. Of course they shouldn’t be trusted, it’s safe to assume they’ll log and analyze the smallest piece of data
