To your edit, I’m not claiming that piracy is good or a moral right. Nor am I claiming that it is legal. Yes. People should pay for both software and media. But piracy is not stealing regardless.

Pirating media is not stealing.

No. Because pirating media is no where equivalent to stealing bananas. Stealing a banana deprives the store of the banana and the revenue from the sale of the banana. Pirating media does not deprive anyone of anything. And no, pirated media

Thank you so very much. Reading this article was so much more valuable to me as I would have never watched an 18 min video to show a single question that needed 1 paragraph to discuss.

Twitter doesn’t show replies if you are not logged in. As others have said, I also don’t have an account. So this link provides the full context. The twitter link only shows the post and no replies.

Pardon my ignorance, what does URM refer to in this context?

Some people, yes. Some people also really dislike dense housing. I would suggest more people dislike dense housing than like it. Given equal opportunity, I would bet most people would choose to live in a ranch style house with land around

Many people, including tech professionals. I’ve been an engineer for over a decade, have setup various flavors of Linux throughout my various machines, use Linux at work and for various tasks. But I still happily installed win11 on my lates

This is one of my biggest complaints. Many EVs look like they are EVs. I want an EV that looks like a car.

It is hard to imagine those things if I feel like I'm being treated very well already, including above market pay, excellent working conditions, and 100% of insurance premiums being covered by the company. I can absolutely see the bene

It is hard for me to imagine a situation where I feel like I am being treated well at a company and then decide that I want to add another level of bureaucracy and additional fees by joining a union. Edit: to add, I am not at all opposed to

Let's be fair, I'm never in a position to listen to an hour long podcast about a news topic that could likely be covered in a handful of paragraphs.

When did Vice turn to satire like the Onion! /s I’m amazed how perfectly this link embodies exactly the topic that it is about.

Are you suggesting Reddit is ad-free? It is not, at all. Using the official app or the website that is not located at old.reddit shows a promoted post every 5 or so posts for me. Yes, you can use old.reddit and not get those ads, but the

I hate to be tone police, but can we please temper language around this procedure? No one that was circumcised at birth made that decision themselves. Calling someone that is circumcised “mutilated” or “barbaric” is just as bad, in my mind,

I’m going to counter the other response you got slightly. No, work doesn’t have to be soul crushing and you don’t have to be on a constant state of burnout. For me, the industry I’m in and the product I’m building are the most important par

Not OP but I use DDG daily and only revert to !g once a week or less these days. Google simply isn’t special anymore. Even when I do add !g, about half the time I go back to DDG because googles results are worse. I no longer recommend Googl

Stealing and piracy are not related at all. They are not close to the same thing. Comparing them is the wrong way to make an argument.

If only Facebook wasn’t involved I might be interested. Everything Facebook touches is contaminated, unfortunately.

To YouTube, just don’t give away content for free if you don’t want people to consume it for free. As long as the content is 100% free, users like me will continue to take it for free while blocking any content we don’t want to see aka ads.

The difference is that Google is an ad company, as in the vast majority of their revenue comes from ads. Apple is not an ad company. As such, Apple gets the benefit of doubt in these situations because their bottom line doesn’t rely upon mi

How about a call to review and increase speed limits in many areas where they are set way too low. Country roads where the speed limit is 55, then magically goes to 35 for half a mile and back up to 55, and there's no cross road or ho
