The time of YouTube may finally be coming to a close.
Yes, and Reddit is dead. This is delusional, simply not happening. YouTube is huge and a self hosted or federated solution won't come even close. Lemmy instances had issues with user overload, and this is a Reddit clone. What do you think will happen with videos?
I agree. I've stopped pirating games on PC as well because the risk is simply no longer worth it. I can afford games and can pay for the ones I need on PC. They're also not as overpriced as console games.
Well, I do apologize, I checked the sidebar of the main visual novels community, and not the main instance. Oops. I usually don't visit the main instance page as I have no reason to. Anyway, there are talks in the instance meta to remove it, so I guess I'll come back here and ask again if the rules are revised. I'll delete the post for now.
Also Loli is definitely CSAM. Kinda weird you defend it when you just want "visual novels".
I'm not explicitly defending it, I just don't consider it csam. (As no actual kids are involved) Simple opinion. Either way, I don't mind them removing the rule allowing it, as I don't particularly care for loli characters anyway. I just want access to the community back.
The last sentence suggests that, in some cases, pirates can get content sooner than their paying counterparts. This availability issue is often seen as a main driver of piracy. While improvements can be made on the supply side, the course urges teens to postpone their needs instead.
Really? Who would've guessed that piracy is a service problem? How about you improve your shit so people don't feel inclined to pirate it. Who's gonna pay for a shittier experience?
I always find it funny when people bring ideologies of the creator into discussions like this about software. Like no, I don't give a fuck about what this guy's opinions on political issues is. Are there any issues with the piece of software itself? You're trying to argue about the product, not the creator behind it.
Because Firefox on mobile is a pile of shit to be honest. It works great on desktop, but the mobile experience is subpar. For a chromium browser, Bromite used to be an option, but it seems abandoned now. Brave is one of the few Foss chromium browsers left that also supports adblocking.
which totally invalidates all of your phone's security measures and leaves you completely unprotected.
This is bullshit. If that was true, Linux would be the most unsecure OS in the world, since it's users always have access to sudo.
On Android phones with root, you have a root access manager, which controls root for all apps. Any app that would like to use root access has to go through your root manager to request it, which asks the user if they'd like to grant access. Usually, the Magisk app handles this, but in the past other root apps like SuperSU used to be used.
If you don't grant access to root, the apps on your phone have only as much access as on an unrooted phone. Root doesn't make your phone less secure, apart from physical attacks due to the unlocked bootloader.
I agree, this entire thing looks very blown out of proportion to me. It's not the first time and not the last time there will be malware in a brand new game torrent on 1337x.
This exact situation has happened before with a new game torrent that had malware, torrent eventually got taken down, and nobody raised a huge fuss other than not to download that torrent.
There's a guide for that here: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/2333900
