Amazon clearly lying about "ownership" on Prime. (lemmy.world)

You all remember just a few weeks ago when Sony ripped away a bunch of movies and TV shows people “owned”? This ad is on Amazon. You can’t “own” it on Prime. You can just access it until they lose the license. How can they get away with lying like this?

centof,

Because they control the FTC and any other regulatory agencies. It’s called regulatory capture. The only other way they can be held accountable is through the pay to play court system which is biased towards them because they can drag it out until the other party gives up.

centof,

If you logged and saved all the files the first one requested you could potentially make it work. You could manually change of the file paths in the html if you only doing a few of them. There’s only like 10 or so paths that would need to be modified. The PHP ones are likely harder to make work as php is a server side language and you don’t likely have easy access to PHP server and everything that goes with it.

Anyway thanks for the link to to mynoise.net. It looks like a well designed, carefully crafted website.

It’s an open source solution designed to scale to what the web was originally designed for and excels at. Documents. Specifically hyperlinked documents or webpages. You can’t reasonably expect an archival service to archive something that is by definition not static like an interactive web app.

centof,

Thanks for sharing. Looks great.

American: In how left - right is commonly (mis)used here, It would be left-wing.

If you look at from a perspective where left is socialism and right is capitalism, It is slightly right-wing. But when your culture calls anything more than corporate handouts socialism, it seems pretty left-wing.

centof,

Relevant Section under Gift economies:

The expansion of the Internet has witnessed a resurgence of the gift economy, especially in the technology sector. Engineers, scientists, and software developers create open-source software projects. The Linux kernel and the GNU operating system are prototypical examples of the gift economy’s prominence in the technology sector and its active role in using permissive free software and copyleft licenses, which allow free reuse of software and knowledge.

Essentially the line of thought is that open source software is an example of mutual aid and the gift economy.

Socialist policies are popular in polling. But as soon as they get called out as socialist, people shut down and revert to their mass produced programming. Capitalism good! Socialism Bad!

centof,

Do not go to sci-hub.se! Can you believe someone had the audacity to allow access to government funded research papers for free? Everyone knows that only elite institutions deserve the benefits of publicly funded projects.

Support your local capitalist by paying them for the content they rightfully stole.

centof,

Poe.com is great for all manner of learning through a chatbot. It’s got like a dozen different models that are great for answering natural human questions. You know like the one’s you used to be able to answer through a web search without wading through pages of BS that don’t actually answer the question. You might consider double checking it with a search engine or a different model to help cut out on any hallucinations it occasionally has.

It’s also got some image generators to play around with, but they aren’t really useful for learning.

Is there a forum for people who are lonely and sad but specifically not incel sickos?

like you know you’re a good person at heart but life circumstances and trauma and bullying and etc prevented you from learning the proper social skills to find companionship. not necessarily a forum to actually find friends (i find going into things with that intention feels fake and weird), but rather a forum to commiserate...

centof,

Not OP, but I assume they are referring to the AI roleplaying you mentioned.

centof,

It’s pretty hard to beat Oracle Cloud’s free tier Hosting.

centof,

Yeah, I guess you could recondition one kinda like how this guy does it. I had never heard of doing that before. Thanks for the info.

I would still opt for li ion even with that though. Lithium Ion has a 2x greater depth of discharge(usable stored power) and 2-3x the lifetime (not taking into account any reconditioning) when compared to lead acid. That equals 4-6x the utility theoretically at around double the cost. That would make li ion 2-3x more bang for your buck compared to lead acid.

But there may be some case, for using a cheaper lead acid on a small scale project. Just be aware of the maintenance requirements of them and the increased cost if you do end up using it on a long term project.

centof,

I’d probably go with a renology battery via amazon or an eg4 battery from signature solar or from solar sovereign for lithium Ion batteries for long term use.

I second u/seth’s recommendation on Will Prowse as a good source of knowledge on this topic. I agree with avoiding lead acid as it’s less cost effective for a long term solution. I think they also have some more maintenance involved with them compared to li ion.

centof,

Most people have a hard time accepting criticism. They interpret any perceived attack on their beliefs as an attack on them (their ego). Once their on the defensive, you have a tiny chance of convincing them. Instead, they might justify their position and/or simply attack or dismiss your argument at best. But if their not feeling nice, it’s more likely they resort to namecalling such as sheep / lib / commie / dumbass etc.

centof,

Kudos for sharing. Feel free to ignore those who challenge your values. It takes a bunches of mental energy to argue and it isn’t necessarily worth it to argue.

With that said, I will still would like to ask you a question, if you are up for it.

How did you form your values?

I only ask because it is easy, when you are raised as Christian, to uncritically accept the teaching, values, and views of those around you as your own.

As kids we are conditioned through school, parents, and in general just information asymmetry to accept what adults say as fact and not question it. It is easy to carry that same tendency over into our values and viewpoints. Kids and adults have a hard time separating fact from opinion. We tend to treat widely held beliefs as fact instead of as the opinions they actually are.

centof,

There no caveat or exception. Don’t fuck with other people.

But my hand is tired.

centof,

I like how you call out some terms used to dehumanization. Fetus, baby, and child also fit into that bucket imo.

So ,to clarify, you want the government to restrict and punish abortion? I thought libertarians were for less government.

Why should the government have a monopoly on violence and force in this case? Instead shouldn’t the enforcement of moral law like the NAP be up to their peers or free market hired private contractors?

centof,

I understand your justification for your beliefs and even share some of your moral beliefs. It seems to me like you didn’t really answer in the way I meant to communicate it. I’ll try to rephrase my original question to what I mean clearer. What causes you to rank your own values in the way you do?

Why do you think access to guns is more important than your beliefs on abortion? Or why are they more important than not getting overcharged on everything from housing to education to healthcare?

centof,

As far as how you can watch videos remotely between multiple people, there are some websites where you can stream videos through a virtual browser. You can visit a website in them and have the content of the website be shared between multiple people. Usually they also have a way to comment, or talk to the participants. Some of the better examples include:

  1. watch.hyperbeam.com
  2. caracal.club

I’m not up to date on any communities to find people to watch videos with in real-time , maybe someone else can chime in on that front.

centof,

Gulp. … Can yu ear nw?

  1. It’s highly inflationary.
  1. False. It is only inflationary if the the government prints money to fund it. If instead the government funds it by cutting unnecessary spending or increasing tax revenue in some way than it is not inflationary. There is the same amount of money in circulation but it is just moving between hands instead of staying in a bank account.
centof,

Yep, unfortunately our politicians are bought and paid for by the rich.

Thanks Citizens United

centof,

Your mistake comes in assuming christians have coherent beliefs. They largely believe what everyone else around them believes. In the US this means they are mostly captured by the grifters of society which are coincidentally the capitalists. Funny how that works.

For the rare exceptions you can point look at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_socialism.
