who said plants can’t communicate too?

Average lemmy philosopher :p

Idk if it helps, but there used to be a person here who’d mess with CSS.

huh weird, I accesed it like normal, maybe because I have cookies and JavaScript disabled. Can you please try accessing it via https://12ft.io and reply to me back?

c/piracy@lemmy.ml

Paradoxically, the phenomenon of piracy (but also theft and similar crimes) is an integral feature of the capitalist system, even though such an act is deemed illegal and damaging to the values of free market.

Now the act itself does not intrinsically possess a revolutionary character. When browsing r/piracy, for example, one can notice that users who partake in piracy rarely have emancipatory sentiments in their philosophy. They operate from within the capitalist system and genuinely believe in the values maintained by capitalism. Their identity as pirates depends on its existence. Video games and movies today are the product of the capitalist system and, I suspect, they are the biggest source of ideological diffusion. Book piracy is a bit different, because pirates relate the activity to a noble idea or cause which is the openness of knowledge and the means to accumulate it, a sentiment that gives way to social consciousness.

Maybe it’s just me but I feel like the platform as a whole, except certain instances, is less political than it used to. Or maybe I don’t browse the “All” page too often.

I will miss using lemmur.

In what sense?

I saw this post too a while ago. Has it been addressed since then?

least repeated question on asklemmy 🤭

There was a poster on reddit promoting fediverse alternatives to mainstream social platforms. It caught my attention and so I signed up on lemmy whilst not yet fully grasping what was meant by “federation” and “decentralization”.

On a side note, there’s this nostalgic sentiment to my early days on this platform. It was a novel experience, and this is where I fell into the rabbit hole of privacy and libre culture. Lemmy’s content was a huge rupture from what I used to consume on reddit.

Aliucord is a modified discord app which through extensions provide ways to disable hidden telemetry. The patcher is open source.

I figured so.

I’m not very knowledgeable in this field, does chatGPT always give accurate answers?

Edit: also, sometimes people seek cited research from scholars and professionals regarding topics with no straightforward answers. I’m not sure how credible AI is in such cases.

Despite the recyclability of the modules, the process in which materials are separated can be tedious and requires advanced machinery.

It’s not a matter of if the solar panels can be recycled or not, the facts imply that Lebanon, like many third world countries, has no interest or not enough awareness to recycle panels. Lebanon lacks a proper recycling policy. It seems to me, from what I’ve read, that the only reason Lebanese citizens are investing in private, renewable energy is its affordability and abundance compared to other means. But once their economic crisis is resolved, most of them surely will go back to the old ways.

BTW, that link was informative, thanks. Do you have anything similar regarding the batteries and inverters?

Depends really, but for the sites I used to access it worked perfectly. I think it all falls down to the mechanism employed by the website to protect the paid content.

https://12ft.io/ to bypass pay walls

https://www.deviceinfo.me/ shows you the info a typical website extracts from your device

https://www.e-ir.info/ has some cool, free articles in relation (virtually) to the field of International Relations.

You’re not wrong, but you’re not much different than doctors when you try to hide the symptoms of an underlying issue with substances. I support self-treatment, but when this involves medication and chemical subtances then it’s a shit decision.

If this is what you want take some advice from experts. Either way what you really need is therapy.

Maybe use sticky notes and once you finish your book you can rercreate them with a digital tool.

Did you check the spam folder?

If yes, maybe you can try using an intermediary instance from Simplelogin.

Given the upvote ratio, some people are privacy enthusiasts until China intervenes.

If you don’t want to deal with the hassle of torrents and streaming websites crammed with ads, I propose using the Android app Cloudstream which offers TV-and-emulator-friendly UIs and provides video sources from popular websites thanks to extensions

Edit: best part is that the app is open source and has 0 ads and trackers

I see that I’ve misunderstood the question. I was talking about my experience on other mainstream platforms.

genuine conversations without repetitive inside jokes and shallow expressions. It’s as if we replaced meaningful thoughts with words and expressions that do not personally relate to the speaker.

Why is there an obsession in making lemmy an overpopulated platform. Social platforms with big userbases tend to degenerate quickly and it makes moderation harder than it already is.

I am quite content with the slow growth and modest amount of activity on lemmy. If I weren’t I would’ve still had a reddit account. Less is sometimes more and vice versa.

Seconded. The app has a radio suggestion feature and a quick picks that recommends music based on your most listened to songs. It’s a yt music front-end with no ads and no tracking.

You can find it on f-droid and github.

I see what you mean. For instance, if you search for “main” you will find dozens of indistinguishable communities for each instance. That’s understandable but one may wonder to what extent it could reach in the future, but I think ultimately @poVoq@slrpnk.net’s right.

Veritasium and Tom Scott make interesting videos from time to time.

If it is on F-droid then their team have built it themselves so the code should technically be out somewhere right? Still alarming that it’s not on github which means nobody can actually fix the issues.

Can you elaborate please, it would be a good opportunity for the community to debate and learn.

It has a web app

Sir this is a Wendy’s privacy community

Spotiflyer is the way to go

I like using wikiless instances too, what does that mean for the future of Wikiles Should we keep using them?

That is a fair point. I understood ‘right’ as ‘prerogative’ and not as a moral notion. Still, I think that my argument gives an interesting legal perspective to the discussion herein.

Cool and helpful list, but did you intend to post it on the privacy or the piracy community?

the rule is that the State always has the exclusive and discretionary right to regulate immigration. The exception to this rule is it being legally tied to an international treaty, notably the 1961 convention relating to the status of the refugees.

According to classic international legal theory, the State is the political organization beholding discretionary power over its territories. What lies within its borders is nobody else’s business. That being said, times of disarray and conflicts require flexible solutions to mitigate humanitarian disasters, which may be seen to a certain extent as being derogatory to the State’s sovereignty. This is how for instance the law of war, jus in bello, came to be. Same case for the refugee law.

So all in all, regulating immigration is the principle, limiting this regulatory power is the exception.

Hello Johnny, and welcome to Lemmy. I see your point there and I agree that people’s behavior online becomes dehumanized and anormal. Sadly, this is a common phenomenon on the internet and you can’t always avoid slopperies. Just ignore whatever you see as a waste of time and effort. I hope you have a great time here.

Since switching to lemmy, I’ve been browsing it anonymously with no account. Despite the alleged toxicity and circlejerking in some of its creeks, Reddit is a high sea of knowledge. I mostly look there for educational material and resources and for tips to guide my niche interests.

Going back to the previous point; Reddit, while it seems like a mainstream website, its users constitute a small, opinionated minority. I wouldn’t take much of what they say (especially in politics) seriously. Also, the internet gives regular people are thick layer of anonymity which encourages them to act (actually to type) most precariously and intensely, which is totally different from how they act in the real world. That goes to all online platforms, even here. If you’re self aware enough, I want you to do a tiny experiment: try to act and treat people online the way you do in real life, and see if there’s any difference between your usual, online behavior and this one.
