There is a lot of great innovation coming from the EU. The development of Lemmy is for example funded by the EU public sector.

How does Lemmy affect GDP though, how many work places has Lemmy created? The article is about economics, after all. And what’s the actual innovation? It’s based on a W3C standard and is essentially a clone of reddit. There’s no innovation.

Wasn’t reddit always like that? Or was this particular sub okay?

I admire people who can look at this and spot any difference without putting 2023 and 2024 cars side by side. Anyway, I like it, so it’s good that it’s more or less the same!

When a poll shows that Russians support the war, people are saying that Russians are bad. But when a poll shows that Russians don’t support the war, people are questioning the poll.

I emotionally understand this idealistic view. But you can’t exclude yourself from the economy and exclude yourself from professional collaboration of any kind by switching from Photoshop to GIMP.

Why are there supported tags? Why can’t #AnyTag be parsed by the bot? I don’t expect many people to make the effort to check which tags are allowed.

Why should a Lemmy user care about this? It appears there is no integration with Lemmy beyond parsing. For instance, you can’t quickly filter by tags from the sidebar.

I suppose it’s still useful since the #piracy tag is added automatically. However, the overall idea feels rather raw.

Anything that can run docker works for me.

The interface is in Russian, but it’s not that hard to translate a couple of words to navigate. Apparently, you don’t even have to be registered to download anymore.

I can’t bother joining a private tracker. Of course, they might be useful for niche content. For instance, 15 years ago there was a special tracker, where people shared races of virtually all racing series. But mainstream stuff is available on public trackers.

There one tracker where I download lossless music. But anyone can join it, I guess you could define it as semi-private or semi-public.

Is this from 2010?

Linux, the kernel, doesn’t operate in isolation. The system under test was Ubuntu, which comes with specific packages, package versions, patches, kernel configuration, and so on. It is reasonable to say that the combination between this specific operating system and hardware led to the observed outcome. Different combinations of software and hardware may yield other results or replicate the same outcome. The certainty of these outcomes can only be established through testing. Therefore, your outrage seems unwarranted, and your assertion is not only baseless but incorrect.

This sounds like they have to compete for your money and produce better shows, which is good for consumers. You can subscribe to service X, watch the show you’re interested in, and unsubscribe. Netflix releases all episodes at once, with other platforms you can simply wait till the show ends before subscribing.

I don’t argue that you should do exactly that instead of pirating. But I don’t see why somebody should be subscribed to all these services.

Damn, that was interesting.

How’s this related to piracy?

Do you have valid arguments against this proposal or is it just an emotional reaction caused by a single word?

I’ve already explained the use-case. Spare me of your “witty” remarks with no value added.

There is no need to have an account for that. This is a purely artificial measure.

“It’s not paid, you can pay by watching ads and get a laughable amount of downloads per day for free!”

Sometimes you have to cycle through many subtitles to find the right one. They don’t even produce them.

In the era of VPN, many users share the same IP too. You can reach the limit before downloading anything.

Given data is irrelevant to the question. Anonymous or not, it depends on what your partner thinks about this. And if you don’t want your partner to know, then you already know the answer.
