We also have that in France.

Some peers on torrents are indeed tracking uploaders. Here you receive a letter saying which file you shared and when.

Blockbusters are the most likely to be tracked.

For me I avoided that system with alldebrid’s sort of seedbox. And direct download with alldebrid.

Here as far as I know, a datacenter IP is free to download anything and everything on torrents… Which it then uploads to DDL sites for me. And since they can’t don’t track DDL it’s safe.

How is it a rape if it’s legal and the person consents to it ?

Oh well whatever. This is pointless.

So if someone is eating a really spicy chili and I say “Prepare your anus”.

Is it a rape joke ?

Not a native speaker either but I feel presenting the original comment as a rape joke is a stretch.

Context matters.

Also breaking news, plenty of Police forces and prison guards are able to kindly ask you to “prepare your anus” and in a very much legal manner. This is how I understood the original comment.

As far as I recall he actively seeks to commit cybercrimes and even says so himself.

It’s not the first young hacker on the spectrum that has urges to hack stuff.

It’s a whole different question when someone is conscious he is doing something illegal and actively seeks to do it.

This is not another Aaron Swartz story imo. It’s an autistic individual that doesn’t hack out of curiosity but in order to damage businesses, and people or benefit himself.

Still laughing at the vast amount of people coming from reddit and expecting only chill people to be on lemmy. Like lemmy users are somehow immune to toxicity.

It’s less toxic overall but we (or mostly the moderators) will have to fight them all the time.

At least it will improve the moderation tools which is always a good thing.

Again this is organic. A large influx of sync users started being active on Lemmy. It will fade out in a matter of days.

I understand the sentiment but honestly feel like people are creating unnecessary drama. This is just a temporary trend just like we had days and days of beans meme which was also mildly annoying after 5/6 days.

Damn these people being happy their favorite app is on Lemmy.

Seriously why do you care ?

Also, the reality is not that the sync cult is too vocal it’s that they represent a solid chunk of the overall user base.

And also the fact that on Lemmy there is not much content as of now so minor things can become events.

I’m a bit salty about sync’s pricing especially because I already bought the ads removal when sync was on reddit. And I feel like this is not a new code base so I should at least get a minor discount.

There are all kinds of sync users, stop oversimplifying things and spreading stereotypes. Just let people enjoy their few days of being happy they can browse Lemmy in their comfort zone.

The sync cult however seem to be as annoying as they were on reddit.

This is very weird for me because I was very active on reddit for many years and was subscribed to the android and sync subreddits. Barely ever seen any comments or posts about sync. If you had a lot of interaction about sync on reddit, I have to believe it’s because you were looking for that type of content. Or maybe you had a very narrow selection of subreddits. I don’t know.
