It’s been said to death but at heart, I’ve always felt that when it comes to piracy, it’s a service issue, not a cost issue.

Except for you Adobe. That’s a cost issue.

We do have privacy laws today (USA user), but they are so weak that near my office I regularly see ads advising businesses to treat it as a liability problem and instead buy insurance as a faster and cheaper alternative to good practices.

And it works! This approach should not be feasible to address the costs of violating user privacy. It reiterates to me that we are far too lax.

Reddit is the best thing to ever happen to Lemmy. By making their product so terrible, it just keeps making Lemmy look more enjoyable because it’s incendentally rather than actively trying to be terrible.

This is hilarious. On my Desktop, which is quickly becoming my preferred interface for the moment, I just keep opening new tabs and letting it work when I post so I can move on with reading other content.

I ain’t even mad. You’ve got a good heart, soldier.

I’m experiencing a bizarre glimpse of humanity in the Internet, before the bots have been written and move in, the experience of communicating with actual people without the influence of karma, business, or astroturf just yet.

They will come, but Lemmy sets the new terms of engagement.

We, the users, the community are the lifeblood. It’s people that had the good times, and people that made them.
