Warning: I’m not sufficiently familiar with jdownloader to offer this explanation with any certainty, but…
If you’re using it to rip streamed content, is it possible that instead of ripping the stream directly it screen records and re-encodes it itself in order to bypass end-to-end security features?
I’m not saying that’s the case here, just that it’s a plausible explanation.
I kinda agree.
Giving them more views tells the algo to boosts their visibility. As does having an active comment section. This results in a feedback loop where controversy leads to engagement which increases revenue which incentivizes more controversy.
This is the same reason you don’t engage with trolls.
I’m gonna say this is all Thomas Pynchon’s fault.
Man that title took me a second to parse.
Bénédicte Carole Zé came to Canada in 2016 to work on a poultry farm after paying $10,000 in illegal recruitment fees for a job here. But once she arrived, she says she was forced to work 70- to 80-hour weeks for an employer who she alleges sexually abused her, controlled her banking and did not let her leave the house or have a cellphone, while threatening her with deportation if she complained.
An industry that shows zero empathy for animals also shows none for humans? Shocking. Truly shocking.
Fuck these assholes.
You take that back about broccoli.
Broccoli gets a bad rap from being steamed and served plain. If you grill it, or bake it, or pan fry it, or have it in Asian dishes with sauce, it’s a god tier veggie, and should never be slandered.
Trump is too much of a moron to understand.
You pretty much called it:

He also claimed, seemingly without evidence, that former President Joe Biden had lowered the standard for hiring air traffic controllers, which he said was raised to the “highest standard that you could have” during his first administration in 2016.
“It’s just a joke, bro” isn’t an excuse for embracing Nazi symbols. Ironic Nazis are still Nazis.
Who are twins? There’s only one dude…
I use pairdrop. I don’t personally self host it, but that option is available. It’s better suited to more one-off situations, as there’s no history kept anywhere.

In fact they’re all for it. Everyone must crush orphans for the orphan crushing machine. No frugal living allowed.
If the Bloc runs on that platform, I’d vote for them from Ontario.
Ah, my mistake, I definitely misunderstood your comment, then. I misread your comment as a criticism of veganism due to the larger context of thread.
Some values are more subjective than others, though. Especially when it comes to matters like aesthetics. We might disagree on whether or not pineapple belongs on pizza, for example, but when it comes to our own lives having value, it’s nearly universal that our own lives have at least some value to ourselves.
The universality of those values are the basis of that social contract.
If society were to one day just decide that a certain class of people were less valuable for a superficial reaaon, let’s say because they have red hair, for example, is it not possible that that decision could be an objectively bad thing?
Perhaps I misunderstood, so let’s back up a step.
Do you think veganism entails a “moral system that requires [you] to pretend that when [your child] and a chicken are trapped in a burning building that [you’ll] be unconcerned about who gets rescued”?
Ok, so if someone else just decides your life isn’t of value, then that’s OK since your moral worth is subjective? Am I understanding your argument properly?
That’s a straw man, though. That’s not what the argument is.
It’s not about whether or not other animals have the same moral value as us. It’s about whether or not they have sufficient moral value to not be killed for a moment of sensory pleasure, when other options exist.
Luckily there are actually decentralized chat alternatives with low system requirements to encourage self-hosting, but man is Matrix so overhyped & misunderstood.
Thank you for the illuminating post. Could you name a few alternatives that better align with the ethos of the fediverse?
That’s such a poor excuse. If they really really thought it was a problem, they could obscure-gate the feature. Make it so you have to long press on the 3rd word of the ToS or something ridiculous, and share that info online.
This is a fairly common practice for potentially dangerous android features, for example. It keeps the less tech savvy audiences from accidentally impaling themselves in the foot.
Usually the vanguard of adoption for platforms like these are fairly technical users. When you start cutting the feature set that brought them to your platform, it starts the death knell for your platform. They’ll go elsewhere to find a platform that respects them more, and they’ll drag everyone else with them sooner or later.
When was the last time you saw android getting a severely bad rap for including ADB?
It’s like they read Snow Crash, and thought “Sounds like a great place to live in!”
