Interesting how artists don't make enough money from their creations, so our solution is to make certain information illegal to share, rather than give them a universal basic income.

  • Not when work takes a large amount of time to produce the original, and very little work to produce a copy. An original and a copy of a digital artwork are identical.

    • In Gaza, where nearly half of the population is under 18, a children's rights crisis is unfolding

    • From what I know about male boomers and their political views of women the more i feel the 60s were less free love and more uncomfortable kinda rape-y encounters

    Jump

  • Look at 80s sex comedies and realize they were made by people who learned what they knew during the 60s. You're not wrong.

    • ‘Murdered in cold blood’: stories emerge of Israelis killed at Gaza border

    Jump

  • It's okay to kill civilians if you're the government, but not if you're the rebels? Is that the logic?

  • Turning it off right when Ukraine was about to launch an offensive, definitely no collusion there what a coincidence on the timing.

  • By any means necessary.

    • Netflix is planning to raise prices… again

    Jump

  • So like what's the actual deal with pirating content nowadays? I remember in the early 2000s it was don't seed and don't torrent just-released content and you won't get caught. Are the companies more rigorous nowadays? Are they going after people and you really do need a VPN? Can you torrent content at a human-watchable pace (like a show or two a month, maybe a movie or two a week) and no one's going to notice you?

  • They used to do that for a handful of shows due to streaming contracts, but last time I checked (~2019) it was literally two shows. Is it more now?

    • The FTC Sues to Break Up Amazon Over an Economy-Wide "Hidden Tax"

    Jump

  • Is it the FTC's fault at all? Lina Khan is doing great work, and the US has fought against Microsoft's monopoly before. The real problem is the judicial system has no interest in joining this fight.

    • Amazon Has Turned Into an Monopolistic Shithole Littered With Pay-to-Play Ads, FTC Lawsuit Solemnly Argues

    Jump

  • Lina Khan is staking her career on this one, but the way the US judiciary looks there's no way Amazon suffers.

    • The Firefox browser now has a built-in page translator that works even without the Internet

    Jump

  • I still use Chrome when I need to Chromecast, any way around that?

    • TIL Minimum wage has only increased by $7.00 in 85 years in the USA.

    Jump

  • Inflation is important because it punishes the hoarding of wealth and encourages spending. When investments grow greater than inflation but wages grow slower, it's problematic because the investing class is rewarded for having money while the working class is punished.

    • Reddit’s new Contributor Program will let you cash out gold given to your posts by other users in real money.

    Jump

  • Reddit admins note: "you’ll receive a new shiny badge on your profile indicating you’re in the program and can earn cash! "

    Hoping that reddit mods have the balls to auto-delete all posts from users who are approved for the monetization system. Knowing that they won't, I'm waiting for the Firefox extension and Revanced patch that auto-censor posts by those users.

    Of course reddit will quickly remove that visibility.

    • Amazon to introduce ads on Prime Video in 2024

  • That's not accurate, they don't stop your benefits when you hit the cancel button. I just cancelled today and have my benefits until the end of my yearly subscription in November.

    • YouTube and Reddit are sued for allegedly enabling the racist mass shooting in Buffalo that left 10 dead

    Jump

  • Do ISPs actively encourage you to watch extremist content? Do they push that content toward people who are at risk of radicalization to get extra money?

  • Exactly, you can't just drive without verifying that you're a safe driver. That's why we have a process to get a driver's license. Has Autopilot passed licensing?

  • Doesn't the fact that a technology is fundamentally discriminatory mean we should question the use of that technology? Not just shrug our shoulders and say too bad?
