Same for me, + limewire and IRC channels, then torrents. There was a golden age in the 2000s where you’d see new albums and movies get released before they even came out, and in relatively good quality too.

This is anecdotal, but everyone I meet born after 2000 has no idea what torrents are, or how to share media, and many of them are paying for like 3 streaming services. They have no idea all this stuff is available for free without much effort, and with better quality.

Cool article, I wasn’t on any of these private trackers, but I remember them getting shut down.

It’s quite possible that in the future, ai bros will rediscover “thinking”:

I know this is mostly a joke, but its also incredibly dangerous. Just use an explicit tool like bfg

It took me like a full minute too.

Its also especially rich considering the US state has access to even disabled nest door cameras, which amazon is happy to give them.

Even someone who is completely sinophobic, would have to concede that the PRC, even if it wanted to, could not send police to your door.

Send cops to your door, imprison you, kill you, etc. The US has many political prisoners, and even jailed a mother for discussing abortion with her teenage daughter over facebook.

I realize its the aesthetic of that time, but so many of these are not too far away from a star trek command deck.

I love the oval or hexagonal-shaped front, and the bright, clearly comprehensible indicators :

We use renovate for dep updates (for lemmy-ui), and a self-hosted woodpecker CI for lemmy.

CI is imo the more dangerous way people are linking their projects to github.

You can use rust and still use the GPL.

Looks like they’ve all already been banned here a while ago. Thanks for the heads up.

We shouldn’t concede defeats to the anti-communist witch hunters in any field, especially language. To do otherwise would be implicitly accepting their worldview as the correct one. Instead we should dismantle the weak supports for their anti-communism / anti-marxism in the first place, which isn’t difficult for any person whose attention can be drawn to the mass suffering capitalism causes.

There is a similar quote from Arundati Roy, that’s something like: “Pacifism is a theatre piece, and it needs an audience to be enjoyed”. But ya I don’t think this is a real Fanon quote.

Lady Izdihar rules.

After climbing on the tank a few times, and talking with the tank commander, he was eventually lead away by some other onlookers completely unharmed.

US cops have killed ~600 people so far this year.

Its probably a decade old meme at this point, which is besides the point, and is why you dodged the content of the meme. No revolution will ever meet your standards. Millions of people are too busy building socialism and lifting people out of poverty to care what some western anarchist thinks about them.

PRC: Murdering bicycles.

USA: Murdering pets

Minimo launcher is my new fave. Its simple, decreases addiction, and surpasses Olauncher in features.

Why do you assume they aren’t? Because they can type comments?
