there's now more ads in "legit" sites (YouTube, amazon) than in piracy sites

Jump

  • I'm talking of ye old days, when you could stream a show or live TV on a pirate site, and the site would be covered with ads with the fake X buttons that would give you malware if you click them

    • Thousands of shipping containers have been lost at sea. What happens when they burst open?

    Jump

  • What do you mean they don't just have some tracker on them? What??

    • How did we move from forums to Reddit, Facebook groups, and Discord?

  • There are several forum software companies working on ActivityPub support, I know both Discourse and NodeBB have been working on it for a while

  • Scammers love them too

    • Finding niche music?

  • Youtube if the situation is really dire

    • How much do you think gender matters on Lemmy?

    Jump

  • Most of the time it's not too big of a deal but sometimes it's very clear that it's a male dominated social media, like when the pay gap between men and women is mentioned

    • What makes you think modern hysteria about unprecedented times is overstated and things around the world will continue on as normal well into the distant future?

    Jump

  • Hysteria? Most of what I'm seeing is denial about climate change, about the worsening political climate, and about the growing inequality

    • How come the US does not put a bounty on Putin like they did Bin Laden?

    Jump

  • Venezuela 2002 is a big old lie, can't believe that people really publish dictatorship propaganda without realizing it undermines their point.

    • How do decide what language you speak living on a countries border.

    Jump

  • Most people who live at the border tend to speak both, specially if people cross the border everyday to work

    • The United States is a corporation.

    Jump

  • All of this is correct, except the middle class has not disappeared. The moment the middle class disappears the state collapses

  • Bye England!

    • Russia blocked OONI Explorer, a large open dataset on Internet censorship

    • Cat distribution

    Jump

  • If people insist on leaving their cats outside, the bare minimum they can do is put a collar on them

    • Is driving a car this awful all the time?

    Jump

  • I hate driving, it's stressful to be operating heavy machinery with the capacity to kill. That said, driving a manual car is much worse, just adds a lot of stress on top

    • Happy 12 million!

  • Misskey is like Mastodon but better, yes it's Japanese. There are a lot of Misskey forks that are probably being counted in the Other

    • Evan Prodromou Launches The Social Web Foundation

    • How do you decide on which news sources to read?

    Jump

  • I use ground.news and only read from the sources marked High Factuality

    • Every show with a suicide now has a disclaimer with a suicide hotline at the beginning. Is there any evidence that these warnings make a positive difference?

    Jump

  • Warnings are great, sometimes I'm not in the right head space to watch those kind of scenes. I usually just don't watch the episode until I feel it won't affect me. This is also why doesthedogdie is a very useful resource for me

    • When and why did democrats begin supporting fracking?

    Jump

  • They are trying to cater to the independent voters, not republicans. This is smart because independent voters have decided elections in several states before
