Don’t sleep on Small Gods, it’s incredibly good.

Because odysee platforms them and it shows up in recommended videos, when searching for content and on the front page, along with bigotry. If you want to defend odysee some more do a search for ‘jews’ on it and see what you get.

The video itself is fine, but linking odysee when it’s dominated by nazis, charlatan chiropractors pretending to be medical doctors, and all the rest that youtube won’t allow on their platform probably due to racism isn’t a good thing. A youtube alternative would be nice but not when it’s composed of nazis.

It is never wrong to be a pirate.

I don’t try and push my weird opinions on my wife lmao. She knows how I feel and understands and does what she wants and that’s okay. My advice is to communicate and respect each other even if you don’t agree and don’t be a controlling dork.

As always I am reminded that governments are run by the tech illiterate.

I did not have defending DRM on my bingo card. Transphobia is especially vile though.

I’ll admit I took the bait, but I am more embarrassed for the instance that they got to actually defederate.

I think you succinctly described the problem the internet is facing. I am not even sure making it illegal to have information is really necessary anyway. Consider Googles Web Environment Integrity, DRM that can effectively control access to websites, a single company controlling the information we are allowed to consume. An economic system based on capital will always work against our interests.

This is why piracy is not only ethical, it is good for humanity to share information as widely as possible.

Not all are connected, and I don’t think it would be wise to do so in the long run anyway if I keep trying to preserve data like I am. Eventually I’ll have a proper backup system and a dedicated NAS.

I keep everything I download as long as it’s of sufficient quality on many large HDD’s. Most of my media is then served through Jellyfin. Considering the state of the internet recently I think it’s important to download what you care about before it becomes unavailable.

I’m not concerned with the ‘morality’ of copying files. I will because I can.

None. I run Jellyfin locally. No license bullshit or fifty different services. Don’t even need internet if it goes down and I can curate my own library.

I don’t think it really matters in the long run. After that site goes public and they try and appeal to advertisers, that subreddit and NSFW in general will become unpalatable to advertisers for not being ‘brand safe’ regardless of legality of simple discussions. It might take a few years but migration is inevitable.

That’s nice if you want to update I guess, but Koreader is such a better experience that I’d never bother using the stock reader anyway.

I jailbroke my old Kindle paperwhite a while ago and installed Koreader on it and just read Epub through that without having to convert anything. No internet, no amazon and you can get second hand Kindles for cheap.

I’m pretty sure properly buried gates with no void space just won’t lock. That’s a pretty interesting question though I think your guess is as good as mine.

I don’t think it’d flood, I think motion would bring some liquid in though if a physical object of enough mass pushed through. Or the gate would act as if it was buried and there wouldn’t be a connection.
