I WAS THE FIRST TO ADD A 9 TO A C NOW EVERY ACOUSTIC COVER FROM 1988 TO 2004 OWES ME $6

Sexual assault victims have a time limit. Copyright infringement “victims” do not. Tracks.

rules aren’t there to be enforced, they’re there so that when you break them you take a second to think about why.

yeah, PascalCase is the worst

puts me in mind of the old guru meditation error messages that popped up in the stone knives and bearskins era of computing.

They generalized the problem and then released the solution. OP may own the discs they’re backing up but this solution is designed not to care whether you own the discs.

kinda feels like selling someone a burger and fries, taking away the fries and then going “no one lost a burger”. the digital copy is part of what was purchased, and its been taken away from purchasers with no recourse. The digital copy was part of the deal.

Piracy is really easy to compete against. Ask GabeN. Steam has singlehandedly taken me out of the piracy game because they have what I want, it’s super easy to get and if it’s not reasonably priced today I’ll wishlist it until it goes on sale (and it will). If it sucks, or my hardware can’t run it, I just dm someone and I get my money back. I know they can disappear shit from my library like any online store but they haven’t abused that privilege with me yet and that makes me confident they won’t.

With Netflix, there’s a small chance that they actually have what I want. If they do, it’s gonna disappear soon. Prices only ever go up, not down, and that series you love is gonna be cancelled as soon as it stops driving new subscriptions. To watch everything I want I can spend a hundred dollars a month on a rotating set of accounts on several streaming services or I can go LOOK for the MOVIE 2 stream for free without even messing with a DOT TOrrent file.

Piracy is easy to prevent if you provide a better service than the pirates. What he meant was that it’s hard to get people to pay you to shit in their mouths when someone else is giving out sandwiches.

idk for sure but I think just android. it requires sideloading, on my android phone what it does is download an official version of spotify then patch it locally and install it. evidently it’s illegal to distribute the patched apk but not the original apk and the instructions for patching it, so this is how they get around that.

For now there’s an app called xmanager that will patch your Spotify install to give you full access to a paid account

but you’ll notice that it doesn’t say “we’ll own nothing and be happy”. they’re not willing to take the medicine they prescribe for you. they’re part of the class that’s destined to own everything.

How can they get away with lying like this?

The own* the people who decide what they can get away with.

*as in actually own, not their single-instance redefinition of “own” where it means ‘definitely do not own’

We paid researchers to determine if Grandmas can be crushed by mountains of third-party ink cartridges

surely for some small fee I can refresh the cartridge chip certificate

every once in a while they’ll just tell you how stupid they think you are. don’t ever forget it.

me as well, and I still use them when I’m on mobile and want a quick fix (MAM doesn’t allow mobile clients because they make it hard to track your stats).

Far, far better than audiobookbay

I deffo noticed that the IDF tried to deliver a message to an arabic speaking population in an area where they had destroyed the internet, but that they did it in english on twitter. feels rather performative, no?

“It’s not official government policy to kill Palestinians. It’s official government policy that they all have to ‘leave voluntarily’, it’s official government policy to be looking for places for them to go, and it’s official government policy not to ask what happens if Palestinians fail to ‘leave voluntarily’, but it’s not a genocide because during the killing no one said ‘I’m doing this very genocidally’.”

that’s an anti-nazi fight club, which is this temporary autonomous zone that follows every nazi around anywhere they go. you can just walk up to them and hit them, it’s wonderful.

Well how else are we supposed to encourage people to be related to people who develop intellectual property? It makes sense from a neponomic standpoint.

This makes perfect sense. We want AI content labelled because it’s unreliable.

idk, they rejected every attempt Trump made to overturn the election. he thinks he owns them because he appointed them, but right now they have all the power and he has neither a carrot nor a stick to show them.

Of course this is just a stupid delay tactic by his defense attorneys.

Jack Smith is the prosecutor, not a defense attorney. With that being said, I think you’re accidentally right. I don’t think Smith would push so hard for SCotUS to rule if he thought they were going to rule against him.

depends, when you’re done “stealing” it does the original owner still have it? you’re making the same mistake that this phrase was meant to address: that infinitely replicable goods aren’t the same as physical, exclusive goods.

Once again: if paying for it isn’t owning it, then not paying for it isn’t stealing it.

at least we get bumblepuppies and soma (tiktok and marijuana)

Please read 1984. That’s where this term comes from. You’re living through a combination of it and Brave New World.

The steam deck is how you prevent piracy. If you look at the huge influx of streaming services, you’ll see an example of how you encourage piracy. I recently dropped three of my services in favor of one pirate site that has almost everything. They even offer a subscription tier and I’ve considered it. I’m willing to pay for good content. What I’m not willing to do is pay dozens of middlemen across multiple companies to rip off the people who actually make my favorite shows and then memory hole the shows a few months after they premiere.

Piling on to this, part of what makes MAM great is that you get bonus points for seeding even if no one is downloading. Just keep your torrents running indefinitely and it won’t be long before you have free VIP forever, a 10:1 ration and still end up with more points than you could possibly give away

You should tell that to OWASP then, they wrote it. org.owasp.esapi 2.5.2.0, class is Encoder, method is canonicalize(String, bool, bool)

The issue is the filter that we’re using to avoid multiple encoding attacks de-escapes everything via multiple rounds, then tries to pass it to the next layer of filtering with the de-escaped request body as a json string. Your absolutely right that this is a silly way of doing it, but sometimes we have to live with decisions that were made before we were onboarded to a project. In this particular case, I pushed to improve the filters but all our PO heard was “spend development time weakening security” and at the end of the day they decide what to do and we do it.

The only reasonable response to this behavior is disproportionate violence

I work on a Web app and we recently decided that we’re just not gonna support double quotes in free text fields because oh holy balls what a thing it is to try to deal with those in a way that doesn’t open you up to multiple encoding vulnerabilities.

the question here is, on it’s face does an invasion of privacy constitute an injury? I’d argue that yes, it does. Privacy has inherent value, and that value is lost the moment that private data is exposed. That’s the injury that needs to be redressed, regardless of whether or how the exposed data is used after the exposure. There could be additional injury in how the data is used, and that would have to be adjudicated and compensated separately, but losing the assurance that my data can never be used against me because it is only know to me is absolutely an injury in and of itself.

Anonamouse just announced that they’re likely to ban some client/version pairs precisely because of announce floods. Thing is, does the problem clear up instantly when the client is killed, or does it take time? The latter would indicate a server side van expiring, the former some issue on the client side.

Got it in one!

Sounds like you could save them buckets of money by redesigning their whole backend. They’d probably pay you idiot money to do so, in terms of seven figures per year at least for the cost and performance enhancements you seem to think are easily achievable.

So why aren’t you doing that?

Just post the external IP of your Minecraft server. We’ll help keep your system awake

I could ping Geocities, but not livejournel

I have a theory about how that may have happened…
