It says that Piped is affected as well. This is probably a dumb question from me, but I use NewPipe in my phone to access YT - and it did not cause any trouble yet. I heard that the Piped project also uses NewPipe Extractor under the hood (which basically scrapes YT website). So why would Piped break but not NewPipe ?

I’m using Mullvad.

Hannibalism…

New England resident here. I find Aldi to be alright. The lower price point is definitely noticeable, especially when you compare with other big players in the area like ShopRite and Stop&Shop.

I switched over to Aldi since 2020, they are quite decent when it comes to the basics.

Good to know they are expanding. Aldi’s Sister concern Trader Joe’s is already heavily present in the New England region, although I suspect they have a more ‘niche’ group of customers.

You mean dropped the acorn…

Logically yes, downloading or a sharing a digital file is a “lost sale” - but as Aaron Swartz said - “lost sales” are also caused by Earthquakes, Libraries/DVD Rentals, Negative Yelp reviews, Market Competitors, and so on. Why just blame it on file sharing…

I don’t exactly recall when or where I heard/read this quote, but man it is dope

• “it should not be a concern when people pirate your content, it should be when people don’t even want to pirate your content”

I hope you noticed that the key phrase in your comment is “your content”

Good luck claiming any of the content on the streaming platforms as “your”

What’s that about only getting 720p though?

“Hey, I just tried to break into my school principal’s room on a weekend to change my exam grade - because, you know, bad grades don’t look good on me - BUT WHY IS THIS BEING MADE INTO SUCH A TOPIC ???”

Whenever I hear this argument

“Most people are not interesting enough to profile, so they don’t need this XYZ privacy tool…”

I always have this ready as a counter argument

"Only a stupid person would not care about pickpockets just because his wallet does not have much cash - a pickpocket will not ask you how much cash you have before picking your wallet, and even if your wallet turns up to be empty, the pickpocket is not going to be a gentleman and return that to you.

Tracking/profiling for Ads on the internet happen en masse; you are just one of a million data points that build a profile - it doesn’t care whether you as an individual are interesting or not".

I do exactly the same. I always opt for the earliest free prime delivery available, even for just one item in my order.

Fuck their Amazon delivery day and No rush shipping. “Delivery in fewer trips to your home” ? I have exactly zero fucks to give - I need my stuff as early as possible as my prime membership will let me, even if at 4 AM in the morning, because I am freaking paying for it.

And “green for the environment” my ass - I know they don’t care about environment, and I don’t care about the gas tank of their delivery vans.

to see if it was worthwhile.

If you are done with what you were set out to do, then sure, upgrade it if it’s free.

Yeah I agree. Let them die alone, thinking about Alien abduction and crop circles.

“Stilted”?

You sir, are one of those fucking amazing people who profusely apologize for not being a native English speaker and then blurt out 37 paragraphs of perfect English.

You have nothing to be ashamed of - your English is better than a lot of them native speakers ! And always remember this :

“You are speaking English because that is the only language you know; I am speaking English because that is the only language you know. We are not the same.”

And as to your original question - if I ever ask them “what evidence did you see which proves X happens?”, I have almost always been hit with the reply, “Oh yeah? What proof do you have that says X does not happen???”. And then I tell them the anecdote of the Invisible Dragon by Carl Sagan. Look it up if this is new to you, and for a more formal treatment, check out Karl Popper’s theory of Falsifiability.

I have personally converted at least one conspiracy theorist to being an Agnostic. So I know it works. Try them out, it’s fun.

And I also am not a native English speaker to be honest :-)

For torrents, a VPN might be the best bet as others have pointed out. But for direct download, just DoH should be enough.

Yes, and ? OP Say something we don’t know…

Assuming you are sarcastic - I agree wholeheartedly.

Look up The Invisible Dragon anecdote by Carl Sagan (in his Demon Haunted World book), or for more serious people - Falsifiability principle by Karl Popper, If you haven’t already.

Unless the question specifies which God it is referring to ( Ancient Greek gods like Zeus or Poseidon, Roman Gods like Apollo or Mars, Judeo-Christian God, Hindu Gods etc - or referring to the concept of a “Creator” in general ) - it can not be answered.

Assuming it refers to a “Creator” - then no, I do not see any evidence supporting that Creator.

God is supposed to be All Powerful AND All Good. The current fucked up state of the Humankind clearly suggests that he (or it) is not both of those at the same time.

They can. Not sure if they would.

As the other post says - Lemmy users would be able to interact with Reddit, and Reddit users would be able to interact with Lemmy.

But the matter of the fact is -

(Userbase of Fediverse) <> (Userbase of Reddit)

And I believe Reddit bothers only about their own userbase, i.e. registered with them.

If I were spez I wouldn’t do it (but F U spez anyway)
