Land_Strider,

Trick is thinking it is a plastic bat, not a real one.

Land_Strider,

It is an action to emphasize the piracy is illegal and they will hunt you down for it using state resources, not matter the sentence.

This guy will be on their shitlist at least for a decade now. The next sentence would be times worse. But the best effect of this is that you sentence one guy, no matter how light the sentence is, then 1000 teens are afraid of ever thinking of piracy. Surely some of them will say “lol look at the joke of a sentence, so keep on pirating” but a lot won’t.

What’s better yet, a lot of those afraid teenagers will internalize piracy as both illegal and immoral.

Each Facebook User is Monitored by Thousands of Companies – The Markup (themarkup.org)

Using a panel of 709 volunteers who shared archives of their Facebook data, Consumer Reports found that a total of 186,892 companies sent data about them to the social network. On average, each participant in the study had their data sent to Facebook by 2,230 companies. That number varied significantly, with some panelists’...

Land_Strider,

While I don’t touch anything Meta (formerly Facebook) at any time, what is the explicit route of data gathering here?

From what I understand, these companies willingly give user data to Facebook, which then utilizes the data to: Use the provided information to match your Facebook user id with the other companies’ user id, so it can understand when you made an activity in the other companies’ sites, games etc. and show you stuff (ads only if you are naive, or propaganda through engineered post and ad visibility jf know at least about Cambridge Analytica) about it when you are in Facebook.

Is this the route user data follows and is utilized? If so, shouldn’t these mentioned other companies including Facebook’s and whatnot’s 3rd party tracking pixels n their own domains, and also sharing your data to themselves directly be the focus of privacy concerns as they “leak” your user data? Doesn’t the most of the blame fall on these other companies, or does the implied blame here that user data transfer is mutual and Facebook forwards these user data from company A to company B in the list, as well?

Land_Strider,

No I didn’t. My brain is still chad, even if only in that regard.

100 years was good enough for forever for humans I believe. If people could find only 19 more of such piece of shits, we could have bridged the scapegoat connection all the way back to Jesus.

Land_Strider,

Dunno, it sounds like 90’s to me.

Land_Strider,

Whenever I hear about “but we have such and such technologies that we didn’t have in the olden times you so fondly mention” as if we deride the technological marvels as the cause of current worse times. We could simply had most, if not all, of these technological improvements on top of 90s movie styles, games quality, face to face conversations, outside activities, etc. had we not taken to radicalization of every thought via mass media plus manipulated social media. One major tenable improvement besides the mostly-unrelated technological improvements that we have over 90s is the more equal rights for a lot of gender varieties and equal rights for women, and that is just about it. We have almost regressed on a lot more societal aspects all over the word, including, and sometimes more prominently, in the first world countries.

These kind of takes can be on the extreme so as to attribute all these technological improvements to a person/party. In Turkey, we have these old conservatives that attribute smartphones, relative food abundance, computers, car abundance, restaurants to Erdoğan’s reign, and arguing we wouldn’t be having these otherwise. I feel the same energy from these types of comments.

Land_Strider,

Definitely two bears high-fiving.

Land_Strider,

Dude barged in Lemmy 2 months ago, made 40+ posts with average of 20 comments. I’d consider that performance, translated to Reddit size over 5 years, to earn quite the lower percentile among the posters. So yeah, Reddit is probably sitting on a small fortune thanks to this generous person.

Land_Strider,

That should be the only way, but I seriously doubt that Reddit admins would keep the links intact in that case. Out of their greed and malice they would probably mess with the Lemmy link, then put the blame narrative on the poster for deleting/making the information unavailable.

It can be a bit annoying like how c/hackernews post only external links with topic titles, but that is the (temporary) cost of freedom and privacy.

In my opinion most western voice actors can’t really convey the expression of anime character the Japanese VAs can bring to life.

This is caused by a lot of factors not inherently about voice acting performance, but the language differences. A lot of high pitched expressions are simply non-existed in most other languages, for example. Even if you imitated the tone completely, the language itself as a lot of people know and speak will make the aptly toned expression sound very very weird or creepy within the utterance of the target language.

So for most people dub is simply not on point, or a lot of the times even jarring to match the visual expression to the voice. Subs perfectly keep that distinction.

Most of the time people in western culture finding youngsters imitate anime stuff weird because of this distinction, not because they simply heated expressions, which the target language already has but in other tones and forms.

Installing MPC-HC during K-Lite Code pack as my primary media player has taken place of VLC for me this last year. I have been using VLC as music player only with some Winamp-like no-viewport UI lately.

Land_Strider,

Even if there weren’t any planned attacks at the moment, the preventive and protective actions are usually done regardless of the temporary costs.

Without going much political, I can say that move was one of the most critical ones, maybe right after preventing nuclear warfare, because I don’t want to think how much worse the American retaliation in the last 20 years would be if there was even one more kamikaze plane, especially considering that we now measure warcrimes in magnitudes of 9/11.

Land_Strider,

You’re fooling yourself. We’re livin’ in a dictatorship, a self-perpetuating autocracy, in which the working class–

Land_Strider,

Possibly very much like that, with series meaning episodes will be adjusted for action in each of them instead of working with a nice film flow of 2-3 hours.

A couple War Boys shots with some of the vehicles and environment effects look promising, but I’d put this one on a skeptical box then be surprised if it comes out good, rather than experience the opposite for the nth time.

Land_Strider,

Seeing how many serious commenters omitted seatbelts, I’m thinking the seatbelt part comes for them when the car starts bitching about it.

Land_Strider,

Moreover, they are talking about military service being relevant or close to 99% of other vocations or daily lives of civilians.

Furiously smokes 42 cigarettes and drinks 12 bottles of vodka, makes happy S.T.A.L.K.E.R. noises to accompany campfire guitar sounds.

Land_Strider,

Read section: bottom left; No change given, sort out your own shit.

Land_Strider,

It is also an honorable course of action. Developer gets paid for their work, you use quality service with convenience.

Land_Strider,

This really is a nice place. Even most engaged posts hardly get over 50 comments usually, but 48 of those comments are on topic, sane and unique even on a fandom community. Arguments are heated but mostly contribute at least some point of view rather than being rabid spoutings that either get upvoted (or awarded) to skies above or downvoted to hell unanimously.

We have way fewer posts, even fewer do in niche communities. However, the posts on the bigger communities are quite enough to pass the time. What we actually need is more people interacting with the seemingly dead niche communities of their fandoms and interests.

Big communities keep crossposting a lot of daily news or magazine-worth happenings, which kinda gets tiring after seeing the same post for the 5th time. Hiding crossposts per user settings would be nice to prevent the feeling of only same posts being posted for interested non-fediverse users.

Land_Strider,

Aliens listening to Azerbaijan Bagpipes: We are confused and moved!

Land_Strider,

Is there a global word filter I can apply on my router or something? I can do pretty good without all that stuff with “GTA6” words in them. We have had enough fucking ads for the shitty broken **ckstar games in the last decade already.
