No, because that would be theft - taking something from its owner with the intent to permanently deprive them off ownership. Nothing is removed when you watch a video.
OK, the first article points out that he has a lot in common with the American right wing churches in that they don't actually believe a word of it and just use it as a cultural sheild for their hatred, which is a fair point.
I get, given how right wing, nasty, anti women and anti LGBTQ+ the American church is, why you would want to put Richard Dawkins, who is so nasty and anti trans (probably among other things) into the same bucket, but he's British, not American, and famously very firmly anti-religion.
He has always been a dick, whatever he was trying to convince people of, and it's no surprise he continues to be a dick in his old age. It doesn't mean he's a Christian. He's really, really, really not.
I ran Apache on a box at work, but it was configured by our insanely intelligent sysadmin. Nothing got past her. Never met a sysadmin as brilliant as her. I don't know how they managed to hire and retain her, but she was given a lot of freedom to run things how she liked - she even had a custom firewall between us and head office!
I also had an insanely cheery yellow iMac G3 at the same time - if it made it through the first ten minutes without crashing it would make it through the day. Somehow its stability and resilience improved over time. Not so my windows PC. If you left that on too long, memleak.dll and slowdown.dll would take over and everything would get shakier and shakier. I never quite got used to only having one button though on the mac.
Today, Pakistan, tomorrow, USA. You might be sceptical today, but if you think it really couldn't happen in America, you haven't been paying nearly enough attention.
I've been here about a year now. Good times. Your voice counts on lemmy in a way it really really doesn't on reddit. People will engage with you because you're human and say human things. It's much more welcoming for people who like to talk somehow than reddit ever was. Don't know why.
By the way, people talk a lot about how lemmy.world censors luigi, but I use lemmy.world and see, upvote and sometimes comment on plenty of luigi stuff without mod intervention. Maybe it's just one of two communities (subreddits) where it's enforced.
If you're a communist and don't like to hear China (or sometimes for some weird reason Russia) criticised, and if you feel that the USA is the Imperialist power that needs to be broken first, you'll feel most at home in lemmygrad.ml, hexbear.net, but also lemmy.ml if you want to keep access to stuff from lemmy.world.
If you're progressive or liberal, you'll be fairly happy here on lemmy.world. If you're a conservative, I don't know where to recommend you.
There are various country specific ones you might find suit you for other reasons.
All in all I'm not sure it matters a great deal as much as it sounds in my post. People from different instances turn up and say stuff anyway.
The best advice is that you don't have to lurk as much as you used to on reddit, you can show up and engage and the conversation will start around you.
Yeah, their plan is: deduce what kind of thing they want, broaden it to include more sponsored products, list as many as possible to boost ad revenue, try as hard as possible to get them to cave and buy a sponsored product so we can make more money from ad revenue. Sucks as a customer. Probably sucks as a supplier, it's the standard monopoly enshitified money extraction maximiser.
