    Again, lazy corps need to do their own work.

    This is what it's sounding like right now;

    Entertainment Corp: "Hey uh, Cloudflare...we need you to stop piracy"

    Cloudflare: "We specialize in preventing DDoS attacks and -"

    Entertainment Corp: "Think of our profit. We're losing millions here."

    I'm just worried that whoever has control will have some devious thoughts and just start misleading people into thinking they can't get accounts back or they might've deleted it. Something. I'm really concerned about these turn of events for IA right now.

    They could just decide one day to delete everything if they want to, if they feel what they have is not valuable enough from the previous breach.

  • And by 'mature manner' I mean, without resorting to name calling, being illogical, unreasonable .etc I've recently tried addressing the immigration issue and as expected, three people just came at me emotionally charged than simply discussing the issue I've had with it. I've seen what I've seen, read what I've read of it and nothing I believe that I have a problem with it is being stemmed from some underlying hatred towards a group of people. My problem with it is the prioritization and lack of regulation in regards to immigration. It is a serious issue. But god forbid you want to talk of it, people resort to "U XENOPHOBIC" or "WE ALL WER IMMIGRANTS AT ONE POINT!". Just completely wiffing on the issue I've already presented with it. What is this subject for you?

    Edit: Auto-Blocking Unreasonable people. I told you, all that they have is emotional responses and think spamming labels is what makes them right. It doesn't. Just makes you a broken record.

    I'm going to take a hit but I don't care because I really have been talking to someone about this. Everyone is okay with immigration, until they have faced or been in situations where someone from another country is hired over someone who was naturally born in a country. Everyone is okay with immigration until a migrant is housed over someone who is naturally born.

    I have my problems with immigration. I don't necessarily blame the individuals, well, some of them because some of the migrants I've come across have been quite socially unaware and absolutely refuse to like adapt to the atmosphere of the country they migrated to. And it can be frustrating to deal with. It's not entirely their fault that businesses seem to see them as just labor fodder as well as the government sees them as economic fodder.

    It's an issue that needs to be discussed and addressed. People don't want to talk about it because they resort to just brandishing people as xenophobic. But I bet you may have a change of mind if you ever come across a couple of the scenarios I've exampled. We have problems in our country when it comes to the homeless, to the veterans and to the poor. I think it is absolutely unfair and unwarranted to prioritize thousands of migrants who come here over all of them.

    That is where I think the agreement is coming from. I don't agree with Trump's way of handling it (then again every "solution" he comes up with is incredibly extremist and impossible to pull off, especially if it's coming from him.) I don't agree also to have open borders either.

    We need to sit down and analyze the immigration policy closely, that has been broken for years. Why the hell have we not had a single politician yet that is running for presidency that has a solution by now? For christ sake.

    If we continue to not fix this problem, America just going to be weighed down the same way Canada got weighed down. The same way some parts of the EU got weighed down. America is just going to follow suit.

    But all we can say is "ugh, you so xenophobic" or "ugh, we're all immigrants!".

    Come on people, let's be adults and actually address the issue to fix it, huh?

  • Mine is retail work. Yeah I get it. You hate it. There isn't anything that I hadn't heard before about it by now that hasn't already been said. Yup, people suck. But on the same token, I don't really appreciate the level people go to, to dissuade people from getting into retail work. Job is a job and income is income. You'll need both of these things. I've learned that a lot of the time, people just happen to be employed by shitty stores that are managed by power-tripping people or maybe the team they work with are annoyingly incompetent. Yet if you manage to find a store that's worth working in, it's worth it for however long you want to be there for. I chose to work for retail. I don't mind the labor. I don't want a sit-down desk job. And yeah I work for a big company that has questionable values and has destroyed communities. But that's really out of my control and because that I work for said company, does not necessarily mean that I agree with it or side with the corporate standards. If I wanted to, I'd go back to school and find something else to do. And that's what I advise people to do if they're so tired of their retail job. Go back to school, it's really all you can do other than go to trade school to get skills and branch into different careers. Just *removed* about it all day is not going to do a thing. I used to be like that but all it does was just make me hate everything and there were a couple points where I could've gotten fired over it. It's not worth getting fired over something you don't really have an investment in.

    2022 Kia Sportage.

    I was forced into leasing it for 4 years so thankfully I don't own it nor am I financing to own it. The thing is a gas guzzling piece of shit. The parts for it are ridiculously expensive, including getting the tires. There's not really a thing about it that I like.

    No.

    I've pointed this out on another account on this very community through KBin Social.

    And I was talking about how lazy and entitled pirates across all ages have become overtime. That we were losing more and more sources that had withstood a long standing of time. And one moment everyone is going "RAH RAH! HYDRA! CUT ONE DOWN AND MORE COME UP!" but when we lose some of which that have yet to return or take it's place, the attitude grows weak. Almost desperate.

    And it's due in part how most of the pirates just take and take, but never give back. On r/piracy and sometimes on here, people are making posts wondering where they can get free stuff and how they can get free stuff. They don't care about the technicalities, they don't care about the cause of piracy, they don't care at all. It's always "give me free shit, thanks, bye". There are few pirates out there doing the work and it's just so that these lazy and entitled pirates can just take and take.

    But when we lose sources, they scatter away like cockroaches and all that they can think about is asking where it is that they can get free shit. It's almost like consumerism but for free shit, it's annoyingly disturbing. It's not about wanting the new product, it's about wanting the source to mooch off from.

    I sadly predict in time that the whole hydra ideology will just simply become the way the Pirate Bay has become, just a symbol, but will it mean anything? It'll be so if this whole trend continues and all generations are just as guilty to doing it.

    For this kind of thing to stop, people need to get real. We need someone to take it for the team and crowbar this guy's knees.

    Words don't have meaning to these people. Logic, Reasoning is beyond comprehension.

    Aren't we at a point finally where maybe after so much debating, arguing, compromising and negotiating that has fallen through that maybe a lick of violence is the answer?

    I can tell you if we took a crowbar to at least 10 Executives, throw 5 CEOs out from the highest windows and entrap 20 middle managing power-tripping pricks. I'm sure this would be a huge U-Turn for these people.

    Sometimes yes, I just do the minimal required that shows I care. But I often times do not care because I don't need the subtle reminder that their lives are going along better than mine. My life is in micromanagement hell, where I'm just biding time until I die pretty much. I barely enjoy things and whatnot. So if I were to fully celebrate milestones friends are celebrating to me it'd be like a knock against my own life.

    So I don't but I also don't make it known to them out of respect. If they had to ask for the honest truth about how much I care, then it's on them for asking because I'd give them that truth.

    If you're looking for hundreds of microcommunities, lots of activity by the hour from anyone or anything .etc then Lemmy is not going to do it for you. We're a year in and Lemmy's userbase is basically a piss of a squirt to Reddit's volume. And that could get at you if you're someone that just needs something to read or want some interactivity whereas Lemmy is just more of a stop and then go kind of approach.

    There's only so many communities you can maintain active with 45k monthly active users

    Then you've just proved my point then on how little there is to do and see beyond the basics. One would think that with a number such as 45k, there'd be a lot more communities around than just the general stuff.

    And I see that you're running multiple places as is. I'd like to see more contributing users than just one dude.

    It is stupid easy to get banned on that platform. There might as well be no rules posted there anymore.

    Because all that you have to do is simply express an opinion that'll hurt someone's feel-feels and that's just grounds enough to ban you over.

    They'll only have one rule and it's "DON'T HURT MUH FEELINGS!".

    I'd like to not to.

    I would much prefer seeing other people build as well, see what they bring up and whatnot. I've tried before on creating communities to moderate and all I'd feel like is being some of those Reddit moderators who moderate an absurd amount of subreddits.

    That's not what I want.

  • We all know about keeping track of passwords, not to trust the wrong people, don't feed trolls, use adblockers, use VPNs .etc I'd like to know if anyone had some more minor ways to improve one's experience online. I have one. One is, is that sometimes not reading the comments on generally anything is a long-term benefit. I say this because, a lot of the time, like on YouTube, people just *removed* out stupid things like "WHO'S WATCHING IN 2024 GAIS?!". And it's just garbage reading that wastes your time. I also even avoid reading comments on Rule34 because a lot of time I just visualize overweight guys just oozing oils and smelling foul. All the while naked at home saying shit like "uhh huhuh i'd fuck her hard and fuck her brains out! I'm such a naughty boy!". Like, they'd be lucky if they can even see their pecker under so many folds. What I'm trying to say though is that, decide what you feel is worth reading the comments to than reading everything. It helps you go through things faster. Not everyone has interesting things to say, it just depends what content you come across. If it's porn, not worth reading all the cringe-inducing comments of people failing at dirty talk. If it's an article and you have curiosity, then feel free.

    I know and can accept the response that say I should register to X site if I want more activity. I do plan to, least with Reddit, just biding some time before I make yet the 20th disposable e-mail and probably the 100th account before it gets banned again if I cross a glass person. Glass person being someone who's so fragile on opinions and things that they'll scream 'BAN THEM BAN THEM!'. I've been on KBin Social, Lemmy World (least 2 dedicated accounts), KBin Run, Mastodon, Blue Sky .etc And I'd stay for a good while but I also found myself bored immediately. I check for questions to answer, it's the same questions I've seen days and weeks prior. I check around for things that are reported and they'll be hours old and some of them can be years old. I love the idea of the Fediverse, I like some of the features that are implemented. Especially when you do ask questions on here and you're allowed to expand on it. Unlike AskReddit for example, they don't really like that and will remove your post because explaining what your question is about and backing it with an example is just unacceptable to them. I don't know. 43,000+ people sounds a lot on paper, but in practice, it feels like you're dealing with 50 people at any given day.

    I hate knowing how much money is spent on them so that they can annoy us with every attempted second of our lives. What, you can't use that money to better pay your workers? You can't use that money to improve aspects of your company, so you're going to pay these groups of obnoxious pricks whose entire existence is to annoy people with your ads? The ads themselves are too theatric for me to care, I can't tell you the amount of ads I've had to stomach hearing through Spotify that makes me care even less about a product. They just take turns outdoing themselves as to which ad is the dumber of the bunch that night. Even worse are the ads that try too hard to reach for something that was 'hip' to do like 5 or 10 years ago. The lying in commercials. I've learned in life that some brands that aren't even the brand of choice, the best option available. I've been surprised on some of the things I've acquired from even dollar stores that somehow are better than the name brands. And even then, there's still lies projected from commercials that attempt to snag you in for money.

    We all have our favorites that we go-to overtime to meet our pirating needs. We've also watched a lot of big names in this year alone, go down in a blaze of glory and others in a whimper. I'm awfully curious what, to you, is the biggest loss to date? For me it's Uloz, first thing that came to mind. Uloz has served me very well in acquiring music albums through them, for a good 6 years I recall that I used them for getting albums. When they decided to switch the way in how they do their service, that to me felt like a sucker punch. No longer can I just collect album names, find a sacrificial wi-fi network and go to work. I also remember missing ISOHunt, EmuAsylum, EmuParadise, OG Pirate Bay, AnimeSuge (soon HiAnime once the piss-ants of ACE get their way soon) and I really hope we don't lose Internet Archive. But with the way it's been hammered by shitty people and court lawsuits, I predict that it doesn't really have much time on it's side in the near future. All I can say is just thank you to all of those sources and of course the ones everyone is familiar with. Helped save me a lot of money, helped me increase my interests and eh, can't argue against free shit.
