  • Iran is a war mongering, autocratic, theocratic GOVERNMENT but a peaceful, progressive, secular NATION.

  • Cruelty and violence; perfect reflection of fatherhood in North America.

  • I'm sure there's some passage that instructs stoning people for some trivial fucking reason.

  • Ran an ISP on a Pentium 90 and a few 486s. Linux and FreeBSD!

  • If you don't drink, don't drink.

  • A year ago you'd probably get heckled for posting that. Rightfully, but probably for the wrong reasons. And since then the fashion has shifted again and people don't so much mind looking like colonialist apologists for exploitation.

  • It hasn't aged as well as I think people remember. Did you see it when it came out?

  • Do you like ANY Mel Brooks movie? Zucker Brothers?

  • I once played a game with another complete waste of bandwidth, and it was so much fun. Once there are enough players for meaningful ranking it will be amazing.

  • I think the distinction between data acquisition and data application is important. Consider the parallel of photography; you are legally and ethically entitled to take a photo of anything that you can see from public (ie, you can "scrape" it). But that doesn't mean that you can do anything you want with those photos. Distinguishing them makes the scraping part a lot less muddy.

  • Yes. Piracy in the sense of stealing from ships in international waters is different from piracy in the sense of copyright infringement. Thanks for that.

  • Are you saying that the mere action of scraping is fair use, or that absolutely anything you do with the data you scrape is also fair use?

  • You can bring your own containers. They will tare them (ie weigh them and mark them with their mass) and then you can fill them as much or little as you like. On Sundays, you get an extra discount for bringing your own containers.

  • If you mean the waste of the lives of vulnerable individuals, yes, this bothers me tremendously to the point where it's sometimes difficult to function. I have trouble getting worked up about plastic cups next to actual atrocity against intelligent creatures.

  • Sorry, forgot to whom I was speaking.

  • If by HTTP signature you mean an SSL certificate signed by an authority, those do not present a burden for bots to obtain any longer.

  • Has anyone come up with a name for the corner of the Fediverse that includes Lemmy, mbin, and PieFed?

  • BAR is tight. It will be nice when there are a bunch of shitty players for me to play, few people are as bad as I am.
