It used to be that just being on the internet made you trusted enough to get the warez. I don't know how to keep the movement alive with big brother watching out for his homies so hard. Decentralize, encrypt and anonymize I suppose. BT needs an overhaul to prevent attribution. Ten bucks says it's easily possibile but the VPN companies who have our back will lobby against it, lol.

Posting requires a personal blood sacrifice. It’s the only way to truly combat AI. USB3 Blood Altar!
Welcome. We don’t call ourselves lemmings. The preferred term is lemons.
I 3D printed the Titan because a model showed up on the front page of thingaverse. In the description there's a link to the creators website that says "there's also a crushed version." No joke.
Federation transmits new content only. That delta is because the OG community ([email protected]) existed longer than it's "copy" at programming.dev. The subscribers refers to local subscribers only, which on lemmy.ml will be ALL subscribers.
The thing with piracy these days is there is a huge fear of legal burden AND extreme protectiveness to prevent takedowns. It's the same thing as being a gang member and suspicious of new blood being undercover cops. Once you find actual piracy that works, the last thing you want to do is post publicly about it!
I like how someone put it in another thread. From the "defederaters," The argument most seen is: "if there's a nazi at the table and you say nothing, it's a table full of nazis." The most common counter-argument is "it's actually like a stadium full of people with some nazi's in the corner jerking themselves off." From the "federators," the most common argument is "defederation defeats decentralization," and the most common counter to this is simply: "fuck off nazi!"
I find the whole situation quite extraordinary to see unfold and be a part of.
I've been saying this for a few days now, but alas! Downvoted, scoffed. I just don't get it. I am not advocating for anything other than true decentralization, which is broken in more than one way with the lemmyverse. Defederation is not even the issue. No, I don't want nazi communities. No, I don't have anything against admins. I just want to see the system work as it's touted to work. People are so protective of their communities, and rightfully so, but we need to think hard about the differences between moderation and exclusion. One can foster a safe community, the other will just isolate.
100%. Work together on stability, resilience and privacy while ignoring trolls? Hell no! Let’s focus on creating silos and sniffing our own farts first!
Thought it was a really good bad lip reading.
Enshit/subscripification of everything. You can thank Columbia House for showing businesses this model. I’m serious.
I am not ambitious enough unfortunately, and probably not smart enough either.
It's a game of leapfrog and it's at a little bit of a stalemate because people just pay $5/mo. for a VPN. It was a monetization race and that's were we landed. I'm sure copyright holders are not happy with that, but there's no incentive to develop or change anything because who doesn't have $5/mo?
