I pray to the universe that that last scenario won’t happen, but I’m totally doing it now if it does.

There have been several studies showing we don’t have the raw resources to meet those demands. I hate the auto industry as much as the next person but this doesn’t seem to address that at all.

They’re talking about packages you install, not the ISOs.

While contributing is great, the BSDs are kinda dying and it’s probably better to spend that effort elsewhere. Even TrueNAS is leaving the BSD space. The fact that most applications are shipping via docker/Flatpak/snap etc. and that BSD does not have a good solution for those does not bode well for BSD.

There just really isn’t that much development for BSD anymore. Everyone who wasn’t on Linux is moving over to it.

How does that work when all of the production happens in other countries now? Is there some scenario where we have a socialist white collar economy? All the rhetoric surrounding Communism fits a blue collar economy where production is still the key driver of the economy. Most “1st world” economies these days are service economies not production economies. Is there some literature on how Communism fits in with a service economy?

The issue is every competitor will use the same targeted ads. No advertiser who is not using targeted ads by utilizing tracking data will never be as competitive because their ads won’t be as effective.

Until we can kill these types of advertising by making laws against it or make tools that counteract them widespread enough that it makes the business unprofitable we will continue to have our data used against us.

I’m assuming they’re North American.

How does this work with local laws regarding 2 party recording? If you’re on a video call and this records the other party without their permission, that is AFAIU illegal in many states in the US. I’m sure in parts of Europe as well.

Yeah that’s not correct, downloading pirated content is still illegal, but it makes no sense for copyright holders to go after 1 person for a movie that costs $20.

You go after the uploader strictly because you can sue for damages for each person/ip they uploaded to. It’s just strictly a monetary and legal thing as to why only the uploaders are taken to court.

Pretty sure even if you block uploads with your torrent client you will still get a DMCA for downloading from a public tracker.

Lol wut, they never claimed servers were independently controlled. Maybe you just didn’t look into what you were signing up for.

When you go use different servers on Minecraft realms are you under any impression those are not controlled by Microsoft?

When you choose a different server on World of Warcraft do you think it’s a non-blizzard server?..

Like just because you put yourself into a state of bad false assumptions didn’t mean they tried to trick you. People have been saying this about discord from the beginning you just never cared to look.

Did you actually think this or are you just inventing a person in your mind that this has happened to? Lol

Cable TV exists

Customers hate it and people start pirating

Netflix comes around, other streaming services

People happy, piracy goes down

Streaming services go back to the way cable was, increased prices, reduced content, started bundling shit you don’t want.

Customers start pirating again

The famous rap artist Biggie was also known as The Notorious B.I.G.

If you wanna help your case stop referring to women as “females”. It makes them sound like objects.

And how much did it save by hiring the minors? Cost of doing business…

All the article says about their parents is:

Stan’s 84-year-old parents, Don and Shirley Ledgerwood, have watched oil companies drill multiple wells on their farm, where the family had grown crops and run cattle. The family received small royalty payments from the oil production.

Which still does not say that their parents let them. They received the royalty payments I’m assuming because the law about mineral rights requires the drillers to pay the land owners.

Nowhere in this article does it say they ever gave them permission. From what I understand their parents did not sell the mineral rights.

Can you please cite where it says or implies otherwise?

Did you even read the article? Due to the way Oklahoma law works the family owns the land and farm, but the oil companies have the “mineral rights” underneath which obligates the family to let them drill even after they tried in the courts to stop it.

Oklahoma law allows the oil companies to drill an unlimited number of wells on only a $25,000 bond. So they just don’t clean up the wells and let the state have the bond because it’s cheaper.

The problem is the state, not the family. Nowhere does it mention the family selling their rights to the minerals underneath or anything like that.

I fail to see how the family is supporting the oil industry.

I use a private tracker and never get any mentions from my ISP because the studios aren’t on the private trackers to search for IPs because they don’t get invited and also would get banned for not seeding.

I made the mistake of using a public tracker to download something I couldn’t find on my private tracker and got forwarded a DMCA notice the next day by my ISP.
