With the amount of money pouring in you’d think they’d just pay for it

I’m just goofing. But thanks

ah ha! Guess that’s how we beat the system. People would need to sub to your instance though for you to post content right?

What would the pros and cons be?

Imagine if Spotify just opened the camera on your phone once a month when you first open the app that day. Just for like a split second. Theoretically it would be legal, for age verification. 🤮

Ah the laziness to not even set up an account that needs it. I didn’t consider that. Was more thinking of current users meeting the resistance.

Lemmy will be pressured into age verification also and most hosts will crumble. $50M per caught infraction is wild.

We gonna end up going back to libraries. Which actually would be cool as fuck. Like Yentl when all those dudes are hanging out in a big ass room talking philosophy. It’ll re-spark the postal service. Live music will thrive. Coz everyone will be like fuck the internet, we’ll do it live.

While I want to agree. I feel like normal people are still not gonna give a shit.

Oh like a custom yellowpages, sick!

Thanks will do!

Users data collection… Eeeew. That’s why I’m leaving windows. I’ll have a look at dynebolic thnx. My audio interface already doesn’t like Ubuntu so far so I’m gonna have to get techie with it anyway

Im at the level where I don’t know what SSO means. I can follow instructions to change a DNS. But what a DNS actually is I don’t know. Which is fine, until I need to work out what’s broken

Thanks. Yeah I’m just trying to work at it slowly in my downtime instead of just watching YouTube all night.

I’m pissed and confused with Ubuntu already. I think arch might shorten my lifespan even further.

I wanna get into it but man, the mountain of knowledge I need to even understand what people are talking about is hard to climb. I’m trying to just get some stuff running in docker and it fails to launch and I’m like… How?! Isn’t that the whole point of docker lol. Baby steps I guess

Yeah I’ve noticed that. Tryna work out how to delete most of them now lol. Cool to open them up and see what the are though

Av for audio video I presume. Thanks will look into it

Ah ok cool. Thnx. Still learning

I did the see it in any package managers sudo apt install bla bla bla. I literally just downloaded it clicked a link in the .Tar or .Zip and it appeared. I would have installed it the same way on windows. Guess it’s part of the learning curve.

Oh very interesting. I wasn’t aware. Thank you.

A wild thing for me was installing reaper(a music DAW) from the website and not seeing it in my app list. then finding out it needs to be installed in a opt folder and then I gotta make a .Desktop file so it’ll show up in my ‘start menu’ like damn, is this how it really is out in Linux?
