You realize that with CSAM, you need to know the laws of every country you operate in and the laws surrounding that, right? Do you know an international lawyer willing to donate their time for free to make sure youre compliant with every regulation?

What about GDPR? Similar rules in other countries?

And again, how are you gonna put copyrighted material on it and NOT get shut down?

And imagine the best case scenario: you create a free media server for anyone to use. Wanna guess how long it'll take before you're out of bandwidth? Video streaming is bandwidth intensive. You're just gonna give all that out for free? Because remember, if you charge for it and a single copyrighted video is on there, you're looking at numerous criminal charges for facilitating it.

It's just not feasible unless you cram it full of ads or neuter it so much it's worthless. Stop being delusional. If this was on a piracy community I'd be on board because they at least understand that what they are doing isnt legal and would take proper precautions to try and stay under the radar. You'd expect it to one day get shut down.

Or you do nothing and get completely walked all over.

Because what's your solution? Words aren't doing shit.

How many rockets has Israel launched? Defending yourself with 8 rockets vs hundreds? Get real

"Hey! Stop that! Be genocided in peace! How dare you fight back!"

Look, if we're gonna agree that Israel has been occupying Palestine for decades and abusing them for decades, at a certain point you need to admit that Hamas isn't 100% at fault. Just like how the USs actions in the Middle East increased extremism and terrorism, so has Israel's. You can't keep murdering mothers and fathers and expect the children to grow up thinking that "peace as dictated by your oppressors" is the solution.

$3600 to build a media server anyone can access...... Bro is delusional. Not to mention, how are you gonna put a single thing on it without breaking the law? The moment there is a single video there that you don't have license/copyright to, the whole thing gets shut down. Especially if you charge for access, which you will have to, otherwise your bandwidth will be gone in a second. And you want to complicate this further by making it international.

Cool idea, but the logistics alone make this nearly impossible. This would only work in a pro-piracy community that understands that what they are doing is technically illegal.

Also, whatcha gonna do when the first CSAM gets uploaded and now suddenly you gotta follow legal regulations of numerous countries on how to properly report/sanitize the server?

"Hey bro! Here's some 20 year old program! We should totally reinvent it today! It's not like anyone has been working on this exact thing for the last 20 years!". Wtf is with the younger generations obsession with "retro tech"?!? "Look bro, I can do the same thing we can do now, but slower and worse!"

Also Matrix. If you're gonna suggest something, maybe make sure it doesn't already exist.

Seconding this. If they don't click, they still feel in. They gotta CLICK. For people new to building, you gotta press harder than you probably feel comfortable pressing.

We're a constitutional Republic, dipshit. We're not even a true democracy and calling us the oldest when there are PUBS older than our country is ridiculous. We are YOUNG.

You lay all of the blame on Target and act like they stole the designs and that they weren't licensed them. Target didn't pillage someone's cultural heritage, someone sold their cultural heritage to a corporation. If they valued it so much, why would they do that? You cant complain that your heritage was stolen when you willingly sold it away. Your beef is with the designer, NOT Target.

You can't just handwave away 90% of the content and claim that all these sites are really about the links.

For God's sake, you're citing reddit, a site renowned for people reading only the headline and then jumping into the comments to socially engage about the topic.

Or let's point to "we did it reddit!". That wasn't a social collaboration? Or r/place? Or AMA?

Yeah, if you ignore all of the social interaction, reddit is a link aggregator. But if you really think reddit is equivalent to an RSS feed, you're either being a troll or just oblivious.

Do you really think there's an important distinction to be made or do you just not want to admit that you're no different from the people who scroll Facebook all day? If it's the latter, maybe it's yourself you're more upset with than the term.

Then what about the self help communities? They largely share stories and personal experiences.

Or the meme communities largely made up of 2 heavy posters that other people follow?

Acting like Lemmy is only a link aggregator is being obtuse.

You're literally asking a question for other people to answer. How is that any less social media than Twitter or Facebook? People post their personal achievements all the time, etc. If you respond to me, are we not having a social interaction?

How is it not social media?

Install steam. Run in big picture mode. Done. That's a steam machine. I don't get what you think a dedicated machine is going to do any differently. There is a reason Steam abandoned the idea themselves.

A lot ship with Linux. And having a full PC you can use is a downside? So you'd rather have a limited box? That's not even valves philosophy, so I don't know where you're getting that BS from.

It's called a Mini PC or a NUC. They already exist. Go buy one and slap Steam on it. Done.

The people who actually want this have already done it.

They already exist. They're called mini PCs or NUCs. Just buy one of those and you're already there. Literally. This whole article and thread is garbage. They already exist. They just aren't branded Steam.

A "Thomas Midgley Jr."

Alfred Nobel might be considered a runner up, but I feel he recovered his reputation. That and I don't think anyone but himself really was upset with the path his invention took.

I know you wanted a word, but I nominate "Midgley" to be the new word for that. "To midgley something" is to attempt to create something of value that instead only makes things worse. It's an improvement in the negative direction.

Some people see "to reduce animal cruelty" as judgy because that's just how nature is. The moral superiority comes from you acting like you're somehow above everyone and everything else. It's entirely in your wording and the implications that if you eat meat, you enjoy animal suffering vs seeing it as a natural outcome of nature.

Exactly. Less bootlickering and more "Leopards Ate My Face" material. This was heavily forseable. If they did this as a protest against copyright and announced it from the start, it would be one thing. But this was just incompetence and ignorance at a level that will likely ruin them.

This is my exact response every time someone suggests federating wikipedia. This is exactly what you will get.
