I’m with you there

Yup, was just Steam DRM. There’s universal tools to crack that. Less so “you can’t play our game unless you spend money” and more “it’s slightly inconvenient to install this way, innit? Why don’t you go buy it instead, bruv?”

What type of media were you pirating?

I propose a new challenge:

Descriptive post titles.

Oh great, Silicon Valley’s AI is just a major tech executive!

I disagree. They continue to invest in unstable businesses and risky economies. Bitcoin, video streaming, social media; really the entire tech sector.

As long as we continue to live, they will lose eventually.

It’s pretty easy, honestly. You can create rule groups and just assign clients to any combination of those groups.

Facebook takes biometric data from pictures that aren’t uploaded to the platform. All it takes is for them to have access to the filesystem of the user’s mobile OS.

This is why I fullstop do not let people take photos of me where I can help it. I’m fucking tired of being made a datapoint.

For starters, don’t make a post asking how to make a torrent site on your main account lol

Anymore? Yes. Used to be more, but at this point it’s basically just the shittiest person of the bunch.

For this community in particular, I think having a “federated community” would be especially helpful. Piracy communities will inevitably be taken down, but distributing them across many federated communities turns it into a game of whack-a-mole.

dbzer0 is no exception to this. There will be a time that the admin will start receiving DMCAs and will need to choose between complying and throwing themselves into legal jeopardy.

Unfortunately, the lemmy project maintainers and lead devs seem largely uninterested in such a feature and I lack the skill necessary to implement it, so it’s down to an invested and skilled community member, if it ever happens.

The IPO-minded business was unwilling to curtail and curate the userbase as every user was the equivalent to potential profit. There’s many many many people from Reddit who should not find a place online to call home. They can stay with the capitalists until the capital runs dry.

This is a bad parallel to draw, and I think you’re aware of that.

They all already know about Lemmy 🤷‍♀️

Why’s that?

1337 should be used with extreme caution. The fact that admins are removing negative comments even makes that a useless method of gauging file safety.

But of course, any tracker can have malware in their software bundles, and you should treat all with caution, especially public-facing ones. But I personally will be avoiding 1337 from hereon, for sure.

Fuck all these organizations who exist to exploit our data like a resource, and turn us into a profit.

I’m still on Discord, but everything else I use is FOSS where I can help it. I do not want to make a single 'nother tech billionaire to come into existence through my participation, and I’m pretty determined to abandon anything that threatens to thwart my ambition.

I’m so tired of being made a product, a client, or a customer.
