Oh, so google has adopted the Microsoft strategy.

Strange, Id think their monopoly would be considered natural if they just let Firefox collapse and didn’t buy out dying/barely competing companies.

How does that work exactly?

Like they are direct competitors no? Wouldn’t Mozilla be motivated to fuck google as hard as possible?

As the other commenter said rober has a schedule despite long gaps.

Stuff made here is a weird case, he both has to come up with ideas, and actually make them, if he were to do a constant feed like most others he would probably hurt his channel (either quality would go down or there would be room for more quantity at the same quality), and it’s hard to predict exactly how long a project will take.

He’s quite a smart man so managing money probably isn’t a very big concern for him, his viewers also crave his pretty unique content so upon seeing he released more content, they watch it (also hes pretty good about keeping things ad friendly so YouTube has no problem recommending his videos to subs) so maintaining money/viewers isn’t the issue.

The real issue for him is making sure he’s still getting recommended by YouTube to new people despite his big gaps in uploads so he can grow more and do bigger and better projects that aren’t repetitive to his core audience.

Many of them are trying to play an algorithm and retain consistent views to have a semi consistent salary.

You could do the willy nilly approach but a lot of people struggle to manage bulk amounts of short term money long term.

Moving to Linux sounds cool and is cool until you realize 2 things, one, you can fuck yourself in ways you didn’t know possible.

2, windows is dominant and you will lose access to a fair portion of games immediately upon switching.

Unless you really need to lower background bloat, develop code, or got something vehemently against windows, its not worth the swap for 90%+ of the population, you will go back.

I didn’t mind the learning curve, realizing the sheer amount of programs and games that have no development plan for Linux was what made me swap back.

I thought it was the coke tbh.

Are you running on a work device? The USB method is only really for work devices, otherwise get vlc

Did you shred it before? If not, they already have what you put in publicly, available publicly, and it’s all saved on their end even if you shred all publicly available content.

Reddit got your thoughts and they will monetize them either selling the data to AI companies or just getting ad/personal data money from people reading your content and interacting with it on their website.

It sucks to admit but if you didn’t shred your account reddit still profits off you publicly, and even if you did shred your account, they will profit off you in backrooms instead.

Yeah was gonna delete on the 30th but ive already seen my comments coming back to life. So I guess we’ll hold onto it and check in occasionally

I tried to explain to one of these people Lemmy for piracy alone is easy, it’s apparently more complicated to use, setup, or understamd than his current pirating methods or any methods he’s ever done.

If it requires more than 4 button clicks and 10 minutes, you lose the lazy, disinterested, and unmotivated people.

Most people here are going to be pirates who were burned CDs and jacked channels or people who were raised by people burned CDs and learned about pirate bay before geometry (hi), im sure this community will cause many to pick up pirating, unfortunately, I think the loss is due to people who havent truly explored the internet/computers and checked out what piracy is.

Wait until reddit kills the piracy forums outright, they are going for an IPO, they will either clean house right before, or shortly after going public, pirates that want simple info will pay Netflix/Hulu, the ones who get more motivated will remember or find Lemmy.

Kind of concerning that looking for certain stuff is just fine, but I guess searching for narcotics is also perfectly legal.

One more question and I’ll leave your expertise be, if someone ran this forum negligently and were in the US, got raided and found to be negligently hosting (received reports of) some revenge porn, snuff, and cp, what kind of charge/years are they going to get? Generic distribution charges? Distribution with some sort of modifier? Seems like something they would have a special charge for but I could see it just being distro.

Thank you for the immaculate reply/breakdown, top tier reply.

My favorite instance admin for a reason.

It’s not everyone’s cup of tea or even most people’s, but neither are dicks for most browsing this instance, some still want those around and it’s more than understandable, I don’t like em, someone is super excited about it though. They probably aren’t into titties, I like titties. Id be shitty if they tried to ban titties.

Unless it’s illegal or genuinely traumatic seems dumb to ban it, especially considering the first big announcement he made was legally dubious in some areas.

Personally I’d recommend replacing scat with titties or ass and vote thinking if that was on the chopping block. this isn’t a do you like question, this is a purge question. lemmynsfwspecialkinks seems wayyyy too long for an instance name imo let’s stop this train before it starts and someone gotta make that instance.

Can you give us a quick ELI5 on that?

I’m not familiar but I thought as long as you weren’t producing, looking for, or storing, you were good.

Also if you are based in us and host in let’s say Afghanistan does it still apply? (This is just curiosity without wanting to read and understand pounds of legal jargon, if it’s too annoying to explain dw bout it)

So what’s loading up a YouTube video like? 100% ram and CPU usage constantly?

If you’re doing the snowden shit your best covering your entire face and going to a local Starbucks with a tails laptop, dumping every file at once, and ditching the laptop.

Still just get out of the country and upload then.

Ehh, they are trained to try and find as much shit as possible, they want to pull you out of the car and search it when they pull you over if they even remotely think you have illegal shit.

Most want to put you in cuffs instead of write a ticket or give you a warning.

Keep your car crystal clear in the passenger compartment, be white, kiss their boots, and they might not try to pull you outta the car and waste an hour, depends where your at and who you got.

I’m just waiting for the CEO to have to explain they are netting an annual profit and aren’t profitable over all yet.

Unless they are actually mismanaging money, they have to be netting profit.

Yeah I gotta actively be on the way out before I’m gonna hop in the ambulance willingly.

Huh, seen this bug on Reddit and now Lemmy, weird.

Also worth pointing out in crimes of this manner intent also matters in many places.

If someone sends you that shit out of the blue, or you scroll by it while browsing the internet, there wasn’t a damn thing you could do. If you saved the image now we have a problem, ideally you take steps to ensure you won’t see that image or anything like it again but I don’t even think that would be legally required in alot of places…
