Oh, so google has adopted the Microsoft strategy.

Strange, Id think their monopoly would be considered natural if they just let Firefox collapse and didn’t buy out dying/barely competing companies.

How does that work exactly?

Like they are direct competitors no? Wouldn’t Mozilla be motivated to fuck google as hard as possible?

Moving to Linux sounds cool and is cool until you realize 2 things, one, you can fuck yourself in ways you didn’t know possible.

2, windows is dominant and you will lose access to a fair portion of games immediately upon switching.

Unless you really need to lower background bloat, develop code, or got something vehemently against windows, its not worth the swap for 90%+ of the population, you will go back.

I didn’t mind the learning curve, realizing the sheer amount of programs and games that have no development plan for Linux was what made me swap back.

I thought it was the coke tbh.

Are you running on a work device? The USB method is only really for work devices, otherwise get vlc

Yeah was gonna delete on the 30th but ive already seen my comments coming back to life. So I guess we’ll hold onto it and check in occasionally

I tried to explain to one of these people Lemmy for piracy alone is easy, it’s apparently more complicated to use, setup, or understamd than his current pirating methods or any methods he’s ever done.

If it requires more than 4 button clicks and 10 minutes, you lose the lazy, disinterested, and unmotivated people.

Most people here are going to be pirates who were burned CDs and jacked channels or people who were raised by people burned CDs and learned about pirate bay before geometry (hi), im sure this community will cause many to pick up pirating, unfortunately, I think the loss is due to people who havent truly explored the internet/computers and checked out what piracy is.

Wait until reddit kills the piracy forums outright, they are going for an IPO, they will either clean house right before, or shortly after going public, pirates that want simple info will pay Netflix/Hulu, the ones who get more motivated will remember or find Lemmy.

Done right and yeah you can’t be scrambled eggs. Throw in some bacon, sausage, or other breakfast meet nd you got a good large breakfast that’s pretty healthy.

So what’s loading up a YouTube video like? 100% ram and CPU usage constantly?

If you’re doing the snowden shit your best covering your entire face and going to a local Starbucks with a tails laptop, dumping every file at once, and ditching the laptop.

Still just get out of the country and upload then.

Ehh, they are trained to try and find as much shit as possible, they want to pull you out of the car and search it when they pull you over if they even remotely think you have illegal shit.

Most want to put you in cuffs instead of write a ticket or give you a warning.

Keep your car crystal clear in the passenger compartment, be white, kiss their boots, and they might not try to pull you outta the car and waste an hour, depends where your at and who you got.

I’m just waiting for the CEO to have to explain they are netting an annual profit and aren’t profitable over all yet.

Unless they are actually mismanaging money, they have to be netting profit.

Yeah I gotta actively be on the way out before I’m gonna hop in the ambulance willingly.

Huh, seen this bug on Reddit and now Lemmy, weird.

Also worth pointing out in crimes of this manner intent also matters in many places.

If someone sends you that shit out of the blue, or you scroll by it while browsing the internet, there wasn’t a damn thing you could do. If you saved the image now we have a problem, ideally you take steps to ensure you won’t see that image or anything like it again but I don’t even think that would be legally required in alot of places…

Plus if the government got overzealous direct links could be trouble for any US based moderators despite where the sever is located.

Id imagine helping maintain and run an online forum that actively shares links directly to illegitimately obtained movies/games/etc. is against the rules somehow.

Dead site? Wheres the next one?

has been a part of piracy since it started

First person I’ve seen actually go negative on Lemmy, good reason too.

You might be part of the reason behind their defederation with your vocabulary.

2 questions.

1. Fmhy.ml is an entirely separate instance from Lemmy.ml right? Lil confused cuz those are the only ones I’ve seen ending in ml

2. What instance do we have blocked?

Eta: lemmygrad is the one blocked instance here, personally not gonna miss em.
