Take some of that money you get fining surveillance-capitalists and use it to fund privacy-respecting libre alternatives

• Fined Facebook €1.2 billion in May 2023

• Fined Facebook €390 million in Jan 2023

• Fined Microsoft €561 million in March 2013

• "fined the company [Google] more than $9 billion for anticompetitive practices since 2017" (2019 article)

Who came up with the name "Feddit" for federated Reddit?

Everybody. Everybody who thinks of the concept of federated reddit instantly comes up with the name feddit

Lib Gen is fine.

The press reported it was dead a few months ago for some weird reason. Never believe what you read.

I don't care

humanity generates 16km³ of piss daily.

Trying to reform society without critiquing capital?? Seriously Grandpa?

Vote Pirate Party

One plan is to leave it leaching for weeks and hope someone appears (then you must seed)

Another is to search the hash to try find more versions with different trackers

google sucks too so why aren't they using the thing that sucks?

Wow, impressive

Pretty tricky. There's essentially no way for the average pirate.

I don't think the issues you raise are valid.

It costs more than zero to levy a fine, but we are talking about many billions in income here. Your point would be valid if gathering staff and then fining Google 9 billion were a net zero. It isn't.

We are likely better off having that money reinvested in preventing other companies from these practices.

Which is what I suggested. The best way to prevent these practices is libre alternatives.

Actually it's just called 'Linux'

Nice try FBI

Check your privilege

Saw your post and replied from hexbear.cum

I noticed I just didn't say anything

powerful posting.

How would monetisation work on a decentralized platform? Would the creator be limited with merchandise and promotions without ads?

The patreon / liberapay model is the future.

Then we had The Pirate Bay

Can I learn about it in general or is it per country thing I don’t know.

It's a per country thing. What country are you in?

sci-hub and annas-archive

I want to be less reliant on Wikipedia and Google Scholar, but in truth I still use them a lot

7 inches

nah

Scary Movie

youtube ia fine for some use-cases, but ok.ru is a better site to upload this stuff to

fascination I suppose

Why doesn't youtube use DRM the way other Big Tech sites do?

His Github is inactive since May 2020: https://github.com/go1dfish

I sincerely think he might have died. He went completely quiet very suddenly.

Why are you asking is piracy "wrong" on a piracy forum?

Popeye

What is cloudstream?

I don't mean to brag

I don't mean to boast

but I'm intercontinental when I eat French toast

Ha. That casual self-incrimination about Lemmy having no posting style beyond aping Reddit.

Trying to learn from 'youtubers' seems like asking for trouble.

Lectures posted on youtube etc. are different I suppose.

Doesn't feel like it.

mentally ill people don't groom themselves properly, are sloppy
