how are they going to make people buy it? Mislabeling? Destroying competition? Or are they planning on everyone being just so dumb they wont care or understand why they shouldnt buy that crap?

i really dont want china as neighbour…

and rest of the budget on ads

well, not the ones who are extremely poor. but majority is poor when compared to the ones who have all the power.

poors are the US

i use linux mint in finland. i tried even disabling the firewall but that didnt do anything, now i’m even trying it on win10 to see if the problem is with mint.

damn, it seems it is indeed something with the mint since it works on win10. i dont want to use windows anymore 😥

Ooh, i managed to fix it, i disabled opensnitch which didnt do anything, but then i also disabled mint firewall and that fixed it!

it might be fun to have rebel faction where you have to make due with stolen and makeshift gear. Could also make it so you can “invade” missions, but have really limited support and have to scavenge and hide from the loyalists while they do their mission while you do yours in secret. They would also get rewarded for stopping you and your mission too.

in my experience if you generate code, you should use it only for small functions. Anything more and it will just fuck it up and then its awful hassle to try coax it to fix the problems. And if you have absolutely no idea how coding works, you likely cant even tell if something isnt working right let alone why it isnt working right so you cant even attempt to have it fix anything.

This is just stupid idea that will just lead people making equivalent of this:

well, its not directly a question. more of an invitation for discussion about the topic since i wanted to hear what everyone here thinks about it.

The thing i’m worried is the embrace & extinguish strategy the corporations like microsoft use. So far there has been little reason for them to care, since linux has been so marginal operating system, but I think there is good chance linux might become really popular. Win11 is such a mess and combined with really expensive ram, it might not even be useable for many, so only other option is to either use apple or linux

there should be somekind of limit to how fast you can post to deter that, like only one post per random number of seconds. And each post posted would add even more random seconds on top of that for like 30min, that would make it really annoying to code automation for the mass posting while real users likely wouldnt even know its happening.

Or at least there should be something unpredictable that limits how fast you can do things.

ah, then hopefully it wont get any worse

yes, but what about annas archive itself? Decentralization is good and resilient, but the authoritans will attack the website and its maintainers directly. Maybe they will try blocking it, or demonize it and its users or maybe they will even start uploading malware there to make it worse to use. In general, as long as things stay out of general public’s view they are somewhat safe, but I bet this will have at least some news organizations mention it.

Each day we have less and less rights and protections so we(as in the piracy community in general) have to make sure we will survive despite of that. Not just for ourselves but to preserve things for everyone.

at this point, i doubt people would revolt even if they started getting escorted to slaughterhouses. We have become docile cattle for the ones in power to do as they want. Prove me wrong if you disagree.

why must every good site draw attention to themselves like this? Make alternative site for music if you must make such a spectacle out of it, so when the hammer falls it doesnt take out the books too. Or at least have some kind of plan on how to survive it, which i really hope they do.

Ai-generated reply:

Summaries like this are risky because they replace reading with compression. Important qualifiers disappear, uncertainty gets smoothed over, and the result sounds more confident than the original ever was. That alone already weakens the discussion. Piling automated responses on top of that doesn’t fix the problem—it just adds more distance from the source. The conversation starts orbiting generated text instead of the article itself, until no one involved can clearly say what was actually argued or why. At that point the exchange still looks productive, but it’s mostly just well-formed text responding to other well-formed text.

This is such stupid dystopic shit. I wouldnt risk ANY exposure to that thing.

should just reply “it is now :)” to asses who say something like that
