I dual... Just kidding, been running Linux since 2008. I'm done being old Billy's dumpster raccoon.
I just love this machine built by Peter Sunde (Pirate Bay. It copies a file to /dev/null and tracks how much it costs the music industry 😂https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2015/12/this-season-a-notorious-pirate-gives-the-music-industry-an-expensive-gift/
Just look how much this little machine is costing the music industry! https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2015/12/this-season-a-notorious-pirate-gives-the-music-industry-an-expensive-gift/
Time to spread the news that X is rebranding to xvideos
Yeah, I hear you, but this is a person that is unconscious, I mean if they're using the internet to post stuff, have they even thought or tried to understand one iota of what the hell is going on?
I've met some smart people that make these reasoning errors because they want to believe that phenomena just cannot be complex. Not even I'm excluded from these errors, I'm also just human.
I can sympathize with uneducated people and them grasping for fictitious enemies because they lack control of and in their own lives.
What makes things even worse is that this is supposed a pastor, and he's using his authority to spread this bullcrap.
I'm not immune to this type of misinformed and irrational thinking, but I think my confusion results from more sophisticated material in many cases, that being said I still hold irrational ideas around conspiracies, but I don't hold them as gospel, merely as possibiliry.
Unfortunately even us educated people might not be spared when generative AI begins to rewrite our history in each of our 5 senses and leaves us no way to look back in time to find the ground truth.
If this works then whomever is being convinced, should be convinced, as it clarifies where the idiocy-non-idiocy line is.
In a world with such a myriad views how can there be a two party system. It's utter madness.
Clearly because of the lack of options... Biden and Trump again ey 😵💫
Anyone can collect the data anyway, and I'm sure at least one person out there is already harvesting our Fediverse data.
Yes!!! Loved that game, was one of my favourites. Look up Satellite Reign by 5 Lives Studios, some of the original creators built a modern retake ("spiritual successor" in their words) because they loathed the fuckup created by EA.
If you want to go one step further, isolate/sandbox your media player, browser and torrenting apps in firejail.
Success! I mean I just found the comment funny. You need at least one sarcastic comment in a thread where everyone is super serious, more might be a bit too much.
As a collectice we really have to pull together to solve things like this, but it's often a problem of gaining traction, chicken-and-egg. I mean if everyone using Lemmy decides to switch over from Spotify to something else it will hardly make a dent, but it we could enable mass mobilization through offering free migration to a service undercutting Spotify we might make a dent, but even this is not ideal because it's centralisation again.
We need an effective mechanism to give big organization's flak. One (somewhat impractical) technical solution might be to build a wrapper around all these platforms and then choose to play music through whomever is more aligned with the right goal(s), such as customer satisfaction and fair artist payouts.
The idea of a DAO type organization comes to mind where our collective moral beliefs can be codified
This is super neat
Dear lord save us from this way of life. Sounds miserable, filled with shame and self-disregard.
I know it's probably said in irony, but it's chilling.
