No. Details and scope limitations please

If a thief makes a copy of your very money that you use then your work is worth them copying your money

Hey everyone deserves some sympathy

Kind of debatable depending on the floor price but not bad an idea either way, it’s all about margins and looking to let yourself understand how much your product is really worth to the customer vs simple market cost

Pirates a movie, includes copyright warning on the pirated copy, include a note to say they’re including it in good spirit of the producers wishes

Tell me about it. Some dudes wife “I’m taking extremism to the max because my period tells me to”

And that’s why we all pirate stuff every once in a while

Yeah I was gonna say, that was oddly specific

Nah, sometimes an MP3 player is important for when the phone goes flat or when you need to conserve your phone battery over the long run

I pirate a lot of stuff too but I prefer to buy stuff too sometimes just to provide support

Thank God

Although I agree that bit torrent is a good protocol, DDL is still a valuable method of maintaining mass accessibility, and an important aspect of transport as it requires next to no background skills or knowledge, it’s also symbolic to the concept that many people simply do not believe piracy is necessarily a crime unless it turns a profit, or prevents or reduces a sale from occurring.

Why are libraries still existing despite all the wild cunt kings high on their own megalomania who’ve gone and burned libraries and attempted to destroy civilization?

Meh government jobs can be depressing from what I’ve heard. The big thing is that many who work in government have watched over the years how multiple parties and various personalities fail to bring meaningful change and I can only imagine how depressing it is. It is no doubt that a government job, much like teaching is meant to be symbolic as a position of caretaking so to speak, but one with more authority than real inspiration and information.

The next big thing in my mind is the evolution of government systems, ie the human body and mind has already managed to become versatile enough to adapt itself across a variety of ecosystems, the next big thing will be how our systems adapt to the human circumstances on a large scale in a manner that will not be controlled or directed by a single authority like a government, but by a anarchic democratic meritocracy where the more material knowledge and capability you can provide the group the more information and transparency is given to you for further investment into the system you are part of or rely on.

Yes I’m drunk lol

Book burning bad, literally Roman style war crimes…

I feel like most people including producers don’t care so much, they care more about promoting more people to get into the whole creatives sector so to speak so that there’s less concentrated loss of capital and risk for everyone involved including the pirates and “copyright enforcers”

How ironic

Dutch company sends pirates dick pics with ominous warnings as a means of fearmongering for the pirates

Yes

Nah that’s just for high security government systems, if you run a small business or something you might not want to fuck around with thin clients unless you’re working directly with big databases and stuff

Look man, I think most people would agree that if you want a good gaming experience and you can’t afford a good PC or gaming laptop then you’re either going to the internet cafe or getting a console.

Even though Linux is still somewhat popular in tech circles, consider that windows would have a significant market share for providing high value entertainment and a wide variety of tools to office workers. Microsoft Office is the dominant documentation and accounting suite for office workers around the world.

Now, combine that with the way that Microsoft has bundled their OS into many laptops and retail computers worldwide and you see why they’re big.

Essentially anybody looking to do any paperwork related work will have to interact with Microsoft’s system of software in one way or another. If Bill Gates was a deity, he’d probably fit right in with the god of tax collectors, taxing people for paperwork and bureaucracy.

I feel like we need to start archiving the wikis and other informative posts from /r/trackers

Nah man, the future belongs to the people most capable of providing tools, advice and knowledge to create further data, utility, infrastructure, etc, always has been.

Google search engine was just one piece of the puzzle.

Yeah nah that’s just the places like YouTube, that they can throw the most advertising at, the issue is that they’re not muscling into any other avenues for income, e.g. Google Cloud, YouTube Music, Google Music Studios etc, shared specialised platform for music production and computing hardware, with more exclusive use of Golang tools etc, Vs AWS, a general all purpose solution.

I think you’re mistaken, it is Putin who is the warmongering conqueror here, not Prigozhin.

I doubt anyone would seriously want to fire a nuke even if the country fell into a civil war.

It’s more of a saying or sentiment so to speak - that the system could be nuked and people would perhaps arguably be better off to reform from scratch, with the knowledge of hindsight rather than with the current difficulties.

India is also an example of a very corrupt and badly managed democracy, so your point is moot.

The reality as far as we’ve seen is that certain cultures where information is tightly controlled, traditional masculinity is prized, and sole survivor mentality among men is very valued, there tends to be more of an acceptance if not casual support for the simplicity of a dictatorship.

The other issue is that not all democracies are equal and an educated and experienced populace where individuals are most capable of taking care of themselves while providing maximum utility for themselves and others is where democracy is most likely to be of greatest compliment for a system.

How about a republic or collective of smaller democracies? Similar to the EU, but with borscht, saunas and separate regional currencies, and one major shared currency, e.g. Ethereum, for cross country business exchange of goods.

Well that would be funny

And soon Russia will face the same problem as Iraq and Afghanistan did

Hey count me in I’d be keen

Have used various third party apps in the past, won’t name, they’ve never been too bad.

Usually neater and pay homage to the original style of Reddit as a long form text based forum,. From what I’ve seen, the official Reddit app and front page on desktop has evolved into a Facebook style newsfeed of images and short videos.

Not my jam
