leif , to piracy in The fact that pirating media is a crime but deleting/restricting access to media you’ve purchased isn’t is class warfare

Academic papers hidden behind paywalls 👀

scaglio , to selfhost in How have you optimized your Pi-hole?

I mostly installed the lists found on firebog.net, that’s it.

From my experience, the only way to get rid of YT ads is Brave browser. Firefox with uBlock Origins is not enough, or maybe I just misconfigured it. I haven’t tried Librewolf… but I think it’d be the same.

Faresh , to asklemmy in in what degree different ideas are accepted in lemmy ?

lemmy.ml is definitely not for you, but you will most surely find another instance accepting you on https://join-lemmy.org/instances. If you don’t find anything that suits your needs you can also run your own instance.

comfy , to asklemmy in What do you think is the most loved fruit in the world?

Strawberries seem pretty popular and available, but I’d have to say:

spoilertomatoes

yeah if we count tomatoes as a fruit, then it’s tomatoes.

Tomato is a fruit.

krolden , to asklemmy in Lemmy is not ideologically diverse. Thoughts?
@krolden@lemmy.ml avatar

Because capitalism and other liberal ideologies are inherently exploitative.

@TheAnonymouseJoker@lemmy.ml avatar

You have a lot of options. Reddit, Twitter, (far-)right Lemmy instances like bakchodi.org and wolfballs.

When I considered myself a communist (17 year old me) I thought opposing views really changed my mind.

When I was a 17 year old I was a complete pro USA centre-rightist that believed in heavily conservative Republican/Taliban views of women and who took pride in eating the new McDonalds burger on the menu. I believed in having a nice Instagram profile (which I never worked on) and believed Reddit was the frontpage encyclopedia of internet. I believed in a load of horseshit things like capitalism is a great thing for the world. Turns out, I am no longer 17, and we all change. Now I am a privacy advocate who also advocates critical thinking, attempts to bust lies wherever possible, and am far-left leaning, because I see the duopoly of liberal centrism and rightwing in a capitalist framework as the true cause of society’s exploitation and downfall.

Just tell me why lemmy.ml should necessarily be ideologically diverse? To be in permanent chaos and useless fights? I think there is already plenty of such platforms…

Owell1984 OP ,
@Owell1984@lemmy.ml avatar

You might be right, I do understand your point. Healthy disagreement is not alive anymore. But I think having a community dedicated to letists only can be a bad idea in that it can make sure your beliefs are not questioned. I have thought myself as a socialist and I have thought myself as a anarcho-capitalist, I don’t believe in either anymore. I think if radical views go unchecked they might cause problems.

You’re missing an essential part: Marxists are the only ones who can view society in a scientific light. It’s like being frustrated that everyone on a community knows so much about a topic, it doesn’t really make sense to be frustrated about. What, when you say something dumb are people too happy and fast to correct you? If you want to feel smart start interacting with YouTube comments, if you want to learn then maybe understand what the actual diverse viewpoints here understand about the world.

QuentinCallaghan , to asklemmy in Is anyone childfree?
@QuentinCallaghan@sopuli.xyz avatar

Yes. I’d rather be the “eccentric uncle QuentinCallaghan” to my siblings’ kids than a father to any kid in a world like this. I’m so used to having my own independence and freedom, and I’m a hedonist to some extent. Also having kids would require a relationship, and the Yellowstone volcano erupting is more likely than that.

yogthos , to asklemmy in Is anyone childfree?

Never had any interest in having children, and the more I’ve learned about the state of the world the happier I am with my choices.

dessalines , to technology in Please, recommend a wrist watch

I highly recommend going with a casio f-91W or one of its variants, like the metal band one.

Extremely light, cheap, reliable, 10+ year battery life, works underwater, and it doesn’t spy on you.

a_Ha OP , to worldnews in US warns China not to supply weapons to Russia for use in Ukraine

A heartbreaking post made by a true war victim was the first post here until it was deleted because …well, because of his dire situation. See, he let his heart speak too much and this … against a repugnant troll.
He then said : “Please forgive my speech…” yet he was banned for a month from WorldNews.

Moderation work is certainly challenging and yet … i would have hoped for a little more compassion for his situation, yes.

Thank you for your concern.

françaisUn post déchirant fait par une vraie victime de guerre fut ici en tête jusqu’à ce qu’il soit supprimé parce que… eh bien parce que son auteur est en situation désastreuse. Voyez, il a trop laissé parler son cœur, et ce contre un troll répugnant.
Puis il a dit : « S’il vous plaît, pardonnez mon discours… » et a été interdit pendant un mois de WorldNews.
Le travail de modération est certainement un défi et pourtant … J’aurais espéré un peu plus de compassion, oui.
Merci de votre sollicitude.

ree , to piracy in Is there a piracy solution as boomer friendly as Stremio?

I don’t know stremio but jellyfin (and Plex and emby) are interresting becquse they allow you to serve content outside of your local network.

A solution is that you manage the server and jellyfin and your friends/family connect to it. It only works if you have a decent upload or if you rent a server/vps

beansniffer OP ,
@beansniffer@lemmy.ml avatar

Stremio is essentially a glorified torrent client with a nice UI. It runs locally on a device connected to the tv you want to stream to. It behind the scenes searches trackers and downloads from torrents of the content someone wants to watch in a netflix like UI. Someone that wasn’t technology literate wouldn’t know they were pirating content from torrents if you didn’t tell them.

A solution is that you manage the server and jellyfin and your friends/family connect to it.

While a self hosted solution like this would be nice, I would get messages everyday from friends and family frequently asking, “Can you add this movie to the server? Can you add this TV show to the server?” and they would eventually stop asking me and just pay for a streaming service if I forgot to fulfill every request. I would like to avoid having to manually add content to the server if my friends and family can just choose the content their wanting to watch themselves.

UnreliantGiant ,

I haven’t tried it personally, but for content requests you can host Ombi. People can then request content through Ombi, which then instructs your *arr stack to get the content. It would basically be fully automated
