Good thing we have a fair and balanced FTC? Right?

Lets see:

We have 2 Democrats 2 Republicans, and…

oh… one vacant seat 👀

(also, one of the Democrats was appointed in 2018, we all know who was president then)

Soon:

“Protestors who were planning to publish video evidence of police brutality find the videos mysteriously vanished from their phone”

I wonder how long before this US administration makes “copyright infringement” a felony…

🤔

Piracy is also a “We’re underpaid and can’t afford shit in this economy” issue. It’s ethcal to pirate since the rich steals from us all the time.

Pirate the books, then donate the purchase price directly to the authors to bypass the middleman.

Whenever you want to buy a book, pirate it, then donate the amount equivalent to the purchase price directly to the authors. Bypass the middleman.

Mikami Teru, is that you?

Lol I don’t even pay for Movies / TV

It’s not even primarily about “I don’t wanna support big corp” (although, that is one of the reasons), its just the fact that I’d be broke af if I had to pay for all that entertainment.

I mean like… pay??? In this economy??? I don’t even get paid enough to survive

Tbh, I didn’t care about the 3rd party apps.

I just didn’t like the silencing of opposition.

If they are willing to do mass censorship for benign things like a 3rd party apps protest, what’s to say they wont booklick governments/corportions and censor info of horrible things that a government/corporation is doing.

It’s the censorship that I was more afraid of. Besides, I always wanted a decentalized platform, but none of it had any users until June 12, 2023.

Nope, cannot see this.

Youtube is not easily replacible.

Creating quality videos are much more difficult than memes on Reddit/Lemmy type of sites.

No content creators is gonna move because of the issue of monitization. And most couldn’t care less about Youtube’s enshittification. You cant say “Just use Peertube” when there are like nothing interesting to watch. It’s like trying to stop watching popular Movies / TV shows because “big corp media bad”. Piracy would be the best mitigation in the Movies / TV situation, and that in Youtube’s situation is just using an adblocker.

In contast, Reddit/Lemmy type of sites are just strangers talking to strangers. You are moving from Stanger Group A to Stranger Group B. It’s the easiest transition ever.

Not to mention, the storage for Lemmy instances is like in the GBs. Get a 1TB harddrive and you’re good for a long time. A Youtube replacement? On you’re gonna need PETABYTES, and all the bandwith to serve the content.

By “comply”, I mean like getting them to revert the map rename. Kicking them out and blocking them isn’t really getting them to “comply”

By contrast, if the US government wanted Google to do something, they could storm their headquarters and get the government tech people to go in the servers and change it (Edit: after obtaining a court order to do so, obviously).

Where will the lawsuit be filed in?

Mexican courts? Good luck getting an American company to comply.

US Courts, well… surely no judge would be biased right? glances at the composition of the US Supreme court

International Courts? Lol like they have any power at all.

Reminds me of The Expanse:

“Earth Court? Mars Court? What Inner court gives Belters justice?”

The traffic conditions is huge tho

Just last week, that philly plane crash, I saw exactly where the roads are closed and which roads are congested.

Fuck ICE

All my homies are c/HydroHomies

Lol what even is a “real Anonymous”

Its like “Antifa”, its not an organization, its an idea.

I don’t think 4 years of accelerated climate damage is gonna be fixed in 40 years…

A “dumb phone” these days is really just an android phone with more user restrictions and less security, but all the same spyware.

Ham radio time

Not enough ammo…

They have the popular vote, most gun nuts are right wing. And they have the military, most of which voted trump. Are there even enough people who are left of center to fight against that?
