Yep, for that reason I'm blocking bots individually. Ideally they'd give repost bots a separate identifier to block them specifically, but that requires the bot-dev to denominate them explicitly. Doubt many would do that.
You can see for yourself, the federation / defederation list is always public.
ELAs are not enforceable in a federated world. Once the data is copied to another instance, it falls under their domain. And in turn their admins would have to make sure their users accepted the ELA before interacting with the content mirrored from lemmy.world, and so forth. That would be the death of federated networks.
Consider all your content to be public domain by default, including private messages, because admins can access those in unencrypted form.
Been torrenting all through with 1337x and yts.mx despite paying for Netflix. The occasional piratebay for more obscure movies. RARBG was my favorite tracker, but sadly, they are no more.
Luckily I live in China where nobody bothers about copyright laws, so I can max out my 1gbit connection that costs me 2 full dollars a month 🙃
No mods required whatsoever, just get your ebooks in whichever format you can and then use https://calibre-ebook.com/ to convert them to .mobi and copy them over via cable. If possible, avoid pdf's - they can be converted, but it often looks shit. EPUB on the other hand converts with zero loss, and that's the most common format on libgen.rs and other ebook sites. If MOBI is available right away, just go for that of course. Conversion takes mere seconds though.
Since I don't buy any ebooks from Amazon directly, I've set my kindle to flight mode right after the initial setup and haven't switched it back on in over 4 years.
I assume you are trolling, but I have indeed been to Tiananmen square, and will go to Xinjiang in October. My wife is Chinese, and her cousin works there.
Spin your idea a bit further.
If all resources would be pooled in one single site, then who stops the site owner in 5, 10, 15 years to say "hey, it was nice of you to create all that content on my site. No really, cool. Appreciate it. Only that now I'm selling the whole shit and don't care about you anymore. kthxbye!"
That's in a nutshell the stunt that reddit pulled after gaining popularity. The only way around it is by essentially doing the opposite - not allowing any single instance to outgrow the idea in itself and becoming all-powerful.
It might look confusing/frustrating in the beginning, but after a while it feels normal. Subscribe to communities on all different kinds of servers (use the /all feature to browse around) and use one logon to access them, with one general UI, and soon you've forgotten that they even run on different servers.
Jerboa, until Sync is ready. Been using it 11+ years on reddit, if I can get the same UI here, I won't even know I'm on Lemmy.
I live in China. It still happens today and nobody bats an eye. I've seen a kid shit on a hospital floor 2 weeks ago, and some old guy pissing against a wall of a shopping mall just yesterday. And this is in a Tier 1 city.
Hab ich noch nie gehört, und werd ich hoffentlich auch nie im realen Leben, sonst muss ich leider kotzen gehen.
Yep. Not OP's fault, but clearly the author of the original article has no clue what they are even reporting about. And putting "We were hacked" after a colon sounds like a direct quote, which nobody in their right mind would have used in this context.
Using a dedicated browser should be good enough. Since you might need some proprietary google stuff, I'd suggest chromium portable, that way once the class is over, you can simply delete the whole folder and call it a day.
