Besides solid access to content piracy is also about a message, a statement about sovereignty, rights and freedoms and paying for it means the complete subversion of the ideal.
Bruh, it’s just stealing movies. You’re not taking down The Man with your sick seed ratios. This line of thinking is how people become radicalized lmao
Not really, though. If they’re ordered to turn over IPs, they’ll turn over IPs. Whether those are legit or VPN IPs is another story, but the burden placed on the instance admin doesn’t really change much.
That doesn’t help instance admins at all, though.
DoorDash must love constantly issuing refunds to neighborhoods like this.
Buying is owning. You just didn’t buy what you thought you did.
Weird, Netflix used to compete with piracy so well that many people stopped pirating altogether, by offering a more convenient service at a reasonable price that was hard for even the most stubborn of pirates to refuse and resulted in a massive boom for its own industry. I wonder what could have changed that caused the people to leave Netflix and return to piracy. Hmm. I wonder.
I agree, I’m not a big fan of most of their menu these days. Though, their Famous Bowls always hit hard.
Yeah, most fast food places here have delivery options now, usually partnered through UberEats or GrubHub or one of those apps. At least in the cities, they do.
Otherwise, they also will typically let you order online so you can schedule it to be ready when you get there to pick it up, yourself.
why are you buying chicken on KFC dot com?
Delivery, most likely.
To any three-letter agencies who might be reading this post, I was uploading Linux ISOs and scientific research papers. I would never dream of uploading copyrighted material…
I’m Detective John Madden with the NFL, you’re under investigation.
If the voice doesn’t match the account owner, it doesn’t give out any personal info. If you use somebody else’s Assistant, you can only get general search results or media payback, typically.
Takis are for people who hate teeth.
True, but no one is going to pay for content with production values barely above tiktok videos - which is what most of YouTube’s most famous content is.
I don’t think of it as paying for the content, as much as just paying for an ad-free experience that doesn’t require maintenance on my end and still helps pay creators. I watch YouTube a lot, and on several devices that aren’t easy to adblock on, so I just pay for a family plan and none of my family has to see ads on any of their devices, either. I don’t think YouTube is really doing exclusive content anymore, so that’s not really a huge reason to subscribe.
YTP is one of the few “quality of life” subscriptions that I think is genuinely worth it, IMO.
Presumably they mean it allows the DNS provider to see your internet traffic, but I don’t believe that’s wholly accurate. I believe at most they’d be able to log timestamps of what domains you visited.
A watch face for a smart watch.
This one guy made a really popular Android Wear watch face that mimicked the Pixel lockscreen. It only cost a few bucks, and people loved it. Due to some personal things in his life, he had to sell the app to a new developer to make ends meet. The new developer then started charging something like $7/WEEK subscription for a watchface that he didn’t even develop in the first place, and runs entirely locally on the device so it’s not like he’s maintaining any servers or anything.
Absolutely absurd.
I could’ve sworn this practice was recently outlawed? If not, it 100% should be. If you can buy a subscription from one location, you should be able to cancel it from the same location. I feel like I remember reading about a case recently regarding notoriously hard-to-cancel gym memberships resulting in a requirement that you could cancel subscriptions whenever and wherever you wanted, but maybe I’m misremembering.
Yeah, they’re so dedicated to user privacy that they redirected crypto URLs to their own affiliate link to profit off of.
Weird that you call the literal and metaphorical “host” the parasite in this.
You got flamed for being right.
Shame, that one was easy enough that even my mom was able to watch her shows. Hopefully the Hydra regenerates quickly.
