Most people have extremely weird ideas of what’s considered piracy and what isn’t. Downloading a video game rom is piracy, but if you pay money to some Chinese retailer for an SD card containing the roms, that’s somehow not piracy. Exploiting the free trial on a streaming site by using prepaid visa cards is somehow not...
I can tell you that there are more than a handful songs on there preformed live by my band and then someone uploaded it who was there and we are not getting paid anything. I will not go after them obviously because I don’t have the time nor money to do so.
Not if people would wake up and just use freaking Firefox which Google has not (that great of) control over. I feel it’s such a simple solution but somehow the Internet users collectively seem to have decided that they’d rather enjoy ads.
I really wonder if this will make any people move from Chrome to Firefox at all because they can’t use their adblockers anymore. There are probably so few people that most of them already are on Firefox I guess.

So there is this app claiming on-device iMessage functionality on Android. Seems cool but only has subscription based pricing. Does anyone know of a way to circumvent this?...
I did donate first to Mozilla but switched to Thunderbird because I think they’re doing a better job. But now that I’m a stay at home dad for one year I stopped because I don’t have any income and need to keep my money together while only living from savings until I’m back at work.
I couldn’t find the Flintstones movie from 1994 anywhere but googling it I found it here archive.org/details/the-flintstones_202304 and you can either download it via torrent or directly. On top of it it says that the movie is CC0 which means Public Domain. But that can’t really be, it’s only 29 years old....
2 days ago (see 2) I posted something into the !programmer_humor community which got almost 1000 upvotes (see 1) while the user numbers for the last week are at 131 (see 3), this doesn’t add up. How can 131 users upvote almost 1000 times?
I’d say if you want to have similar functionality of YouTube but without the drawback that they might disappear, and you’re ok with hosting something yourself (or pay for hosting) then I’d suggest PeerTube.
I have been doing that, the biggest problem I have is that they alter your videos if there is any copyright audio in it. In one video there was a radio running in the background on a home video from the 90ies and people were talking. YouTube muted the full audio because of a copyright claim even though it was private.
Back in the day, around 2005 or 2006 I did that and I had browse the internet in a text based browser for 2 days because KDE on that old machine took two days to compile.
I deleted my google accounts today
It took a few months preparation but I deleted all my google accounts today, and it feels good.
It's funny how google pretends the music on YouTube isn't straight up piracy and everyone just goes along with it
