Kir, to privacy in Feeling like Privacy is a lost war.

Privacy is a collective “war”, it’s not something that can be fought on individual level. You can adopt some precaution on a personal level, and try to do better, but it’s something that must be brought to a collective level.

Same as climate change policy and worker right.

Kir, to piracy in Louis Rossman/FUTO's YouTube app, GrayJay, now supports Sponsorblock... and shames you if you use it

They don’t respect my attention and time, thought

Kir, to privacy in [Discussion] How do you feel about age verification on Porn sites?

I think we should stop, as a society, to try (and fail) to handle problems by imposing limits and obligation and start doing it with some fuckin large-scale massive education planning.

In this context: a smart boy/girl, with sexual/emotional education and good critical thinking can have access to all the porn in the world from teenage and be fine 99% of the time

Kir, to piracy in What are the pros and cons of modifying a Nintendo Switch?

The only downside is that you won’t be able to play online (at least not while using the modded OS).

Upsides are a lot, from piracy, to homebrew apps, emulation, game modding or overclocking.

Your question is not stupid, but comparing porn to casual nudity is.

Everytime the same argument. I don’t want to see ads never ever, period. They are useless and annoying at best, sometimes plain evil manipulation.

I recognize the need of income for creators, and they can ask for money in the form of donation/subscription and other methods. I am paying and will pay for everything I want to support. If you decide that your way to sustain yourself is by shoving up fake opinions and useless noise in order to manipulate me into buying something, I don’t accept it. It’s as simple as that.

Kir, to piracy in Apps that shouldn't be Subscriptions

Lots of words and lots of assumptions. You can improve a product and release another version with a paid upgrade, while the old version remains completely functional. If your works have made the software substantially better, people will be happy to pay for a new version. If you aren’t adding real value, having the last version should not be necessary.

Seriously, this. Advetising based economy is hell. what’s next? a punch in the face every 5 minutes of watching? And don’t you dare cover your face, because the creators deserve compensation and punch-a-face insertion by big corporation is the only way they got!

Kir, to piracy in OpenSubtitles.org is shutting down it's previous API. Now only authenticated access allowed.

I’m afraid yes. I use their API to automatically download subs in jellyfin and I guess I’m gonna lose that too :(

Kir, to privacy in Active combat against surveillance instead of passive defense

Adv effectiveness is a fraud anyway, so they wouldn’t care nor notice it.

Kir, to privacy in Feeling like Privacy is a lost war.

I live in Europe, and I feel the battle is still on (but very very difficult)

Kir, to privacy in roku remote app showing ads now

Apparently, they also worsened the UI

Kir, to piracy in [Louis Rossmann] Piracy is COMPLETELY justified: Louis tries NetFlix and remembers why

What the actual fuck

Kir, to piracy in Should I create a new email for a private tracker?

Which one do you suggest?

Kir, to selfhosted in Linkwarden - An open-source collaborative bookmark manager to collect, organize and preserve webpages

I’m intrigued. How does it work? Do you have a link or an article to point me to?
