PSA = Pirate Service Announcement?

Fediverse memes can be posted anywhere, including in existing memes communities. That’s where all the beans and jeans memes are.

Victims just bring it on themselves!

Blaming a user for falling for malicious practices designed by multibillion dollars companies is like blaming the victim of a hit and run. “It was their fault for using the crosswalk, but the driver was also wrong for not stopping.”

Both sides!

If the practices are predatory, blaming the user is excusing the predatory practices. Bragging about how you use something else in that context is doubling down on blaming the user instead of the practices.

So no, I am not illiterate. You ahould have just left off the sentence blaming the victim.

No, fuck that. The ads being listed before rhe first result are intended to cause people to misclick. That isn’t all on the user.

Don’t excuse predatory business practices.

The clause that the user signs upon registering to Disney+ is a binding arbitration clause.

Disney is taking it waaaay further than anyone else by saying a free trial to D+ means any legal interaction with Disney goes to arbitration, not just for D+.

Arbitration clauses in EULAs are bullshit anyway, but if this isn’t thrown out of court in a way that kills the concept of being able to sue for damages when every business adds this clause.

Yes its sudo-flix, a piracy app hosted on github. It probably wil indeedl be taken down like popcorn time, that nintendo emulator, and a bunch of other things. Wouldn’t surprise you if they ended up on radicle, or codeberg, or I2P or something? I agree.

I made this.

Same, paying more for something that will last longer and be a better experience during that time is worth it.

I’m not interested in being polite to people who want to take away rights, promote discrimination, and try to overthrow elections.

The idea sounds great in theory, but seems like a bad idea with the massive rise in fascism.

Like early Netflix before they all decided they would make their own shitty streaming services and didn’t renew contracts.

Yeah, this is just trading the possible need to open after installing for needing to close the app I wanted to use later. I see it as trading one click for two swipes.

I think the biggest problem is that ai for now is not an exact tool that gets everything right.

The biggest problem is that it isn’t an exact tool, but is being presented as if it was and implemented as a replacement for people instead of a tool they can use to make themselves more efficient.

Whereas the “real” hover board that exists has wheels.

Hovercraft have existed for decades and actually hover which makes everyone just accepting Hoverboards as wheeled infuriating.

You should read the sidebar’s at least

Ain’t nobody got time for that!

In my experience it’s not going through the motions while everything works or using the system itself, it’s the first time you try to go off the guardrails or you encounter a technical issue.

This is also true for Windows though.

Ad blockers have differences and some are better than others.

UBO has options to limit how much is blocked, although I haven’t played around with how granular the options are.

There are a few websites that I have UBO disabled because they have always had unobtrusive ads.

I just loaded up a video instantly with Firefox + uBlock Origin.

Did you have to mess around with it at some point?

I’ve been Firefox with uBlock Origin for a couple years and haven’t ever messed around with the settings other than turning it off for a few select websites. Haven’t had any of the issues other people reported with youtube.
