The answer is almost universally "no", if you didn't encrypt it yourself and are sending a cross-domain mail

Gmail is actually relatively chill accepting stuff from self-hosted MTAs, even new ones the IP of which hasn't established a reputation yet

Outlook is indeed rougher but none of them even come close to the awfulness that are Apple / icloud email servers

No, I don't, because I can afford stuff and pirating in this situation would be just pure stealing which I believe is morally wrong

Stealing suggests they don't have the content anymore; they do. "Copying" is the word you're looking for.

The whole "stealing" comparison rather breaks down when there is basically no scarcity / no cost to duplicating and distributing what has been produced

Even arguing it's "stealing" because it deprives the publisher of the cost isn't exactly true, because it only holds if you'd actually have ponied up were the content not available for free (I know for sure I definitely wouldn't have played some games or watched some shows if I had had to actually pay for them)

You want to use something that exists thanks to capitalism

Artistic content is, believe it or not, produced outside of capitalism as well. And in capitalist societies it often is produced despite capitalism, not thanks to it, and one could argue capitalism itself is a large part of the reason that content's quality has taken a dive over the past decades

He doesn't want profits, quite obviously you do (and seem obsessed by it), you're the only one doing the projecting here - along with posting pitiful platitudes that'd make a shitty linked-in life coach delete their post in shame

What he did is ask you, literally, what you had in mind for the 99.99% of people that don't win the tech innovation lottery

What the fuck is wrong with email now ?

It's one of the only things that hasn't been ruined those past few internet decades, only slightly improved, and is still decentralized and can still allow you to self host, don't you touch it

A homeless person is without the mental structure to build something lasting, or else they would not be homeless or would identify differently, e.g. as a traveler.

You're a truly disgusting ghoul

I think the profit motive isn't the best at producing good quality artistic content; and I think people would still produce it without such a motive.

Mind you on paper I wouldn't even be against paying for a good movie, for example. But I want a .mp4 in x265, with subs, that I can store on my NAS and read with whatever open source software I want to use. None of the legal platforms offer that - piracy literally offers a better service, universally

Same goes for video games: I want a native binary that I can install, that does not phone home at all, and does not have DRM or require a launcher. Only a minute minority of games, even on gog, match those

this would result in shit movies being produced that no one likes

I think that has already happened to be honest

Same. Up to and including putting himself prominently between the keyboard and the screen if I ignore him, and lying down on the keyboard

Well, my friend, he's kinda poor he can't afford some books and some streaming services, so he pirates.

Good on your friend. Poor or not, you should too.

Do you pirate?

Yes

And do you justify pirating? i.e., what is your piracy philosophy?

Justify it ? you seem to suggest it's wrong or something

What "political posts" from "normies" are bothering you exactly ?

The first time I heard of cricket was as a child when reading Douglas Adam's H2G2. It seemed so ridiculous I immediately assumed it was a fictive sport invented by the author. How wrong I was.

Also it's not just India, it's in a lot of places they managed to get their grubby colonialist mitts on

@CyberGhost@lemmygrad.ml, I'm humbled by your ability to post lib-baiting truths

Like half your recent threads are drawing them out of the woodwork and I'm there for it

Are you talking about perplexity.ai ? because it looks like a shitty LLM answering questions instead of an actual search engine. It looks absolutely atrocious privacy-wise, too.

Crassus invented the fire brigade

Didn't he routinely order his brigade to do nothing until he managed to acquire the burning property (at increasingly decreased cost as the fire raged) from its owner ?

lmao, iMessage again ? zero user interaction needed, again ?!

Well done Apple

I don't even like Star Wars but thus far this is hilarious, thank you !

This is not a religious garment (not that it'd matter if it was IMO, it's hardly obnoxious); this is a cultural one, mostly (even that is pushing it, a lot of them look basically indistinguishable from the basic dress).

Let people wear what they want

literally lmao

Like the school year started three days ago here in

The whole thing is a racist trip; along with a sadly common recurrent theme in french politics to divert the national attention when other shit is going on
