Privacy, FOSS, leftists – all of these communities have a very large presence here, and while I love all of them, they do tend to love their purity tests. Purity tests have been a constant in these communities for as long as I can remember them existing. Lemmy just has a high concentration of 'em.
In my country, while it is illegal to download or to share pirated content, our law enforcement really only goes after the big fish doing the sharing. Sites may go down, but as an end user, my only real risk is getting a DMCA notice from my ISP if I’m sharing data (seeding torrents) while not using a VPN, and possibly having my service disconnected if I continue. While technically I could be in trouble with the law, it is not really a fear in my country to be a downloader of pirated media.
Stronger legislation could mean laws that entice law enforcement to act on smaller uploaders or even downloaders.
Bookware seems to be audiobooks, but I’m surprised it’s so low on the list.
Tradition. We just thought it looked rad af in the demo scene and warez scene in the 80s and 90s and its just one of those timeless things that seems to remain cool generations later.
Hard links cannot traverse filesystems.
What do you think “defund the police” means?
You’re in the piracy sub. A large part of the conversation is going to be about the late-stage capitalism that is driving us to piracy.
Reddit used to have an open API. A lot of mobile apps sprung up to access reddit over the years, with different features. Reddit gained a lot of loyal members through users of these apps, but couldn’t make ad revenue off them. Reddit decided last summer to start charging a lot of money to these app developers to continue using the API. A few of the apps started a for-pay subscription model to continue operating, but many just shut down their apps. Many redditors and Reddit mods revolted, because these apps made the site usable (some of them offered advanced mod tools, etc). We protested, shut down subreddits temporarily or permanently, deleted our accounts, moved to new platforms (like lemmy/kbin), etc. This was basically a move to maximize their ad revenue while Reddit positions itself for an IPO. It was really not cool.
“solve”
to make your site good
unsustainable
I think you’re misunderstanding reddit’s goal. Over the past year, they have been in IPO mode. They don’t care about making the site good or attracting a healthy community. They want to cash out and are burning down any structures that are providing any resistance to that.
Switzerland takes their neutrality very seriously.
What protocol are you using to connect to your mail service and what third-party apps do you need it to be compatible with? POP, IMAP, SMTP, or those protocols with various SSL/TLS implementations? Thunderbird will likely handle anything you throw at it, but I’m at a loss when you start talking about third-party apps without more info.
What exactly in this article indicates that? I feel you’re either mis-reading the article or baselessly fear-mongering here.
saying when the account was created (month and year)
This is an absurd requirement, but do you have a ballpark idea, and does it let you continue to guess multiple times? Submit a few dozen password reset requests and if they complain, tell them to verify you via alternate means.
Can they? Yes. Will they? No. Would it be worth the backlash? Also no.
In the US, SUVs are considered “Light trucks” and the same regulations apply to them.
I’m mixed on this one.
As a detterrent to drinking, great. Fuck alcohol.
As a serious source of taxation, I hate any sort of tax that disproportionally burdens the poorer members of society.
