Redistricting should be done by mathematics, because clearly people can’t be trusted for it.
I like me some tech discussion and freedom.
Thank the sky above for the 1st and 2nd amendments.
Reality is best seen as absurd.

Honestly, I have no real clue.
Twitch isn’t quite completely impervious to adblockers, with proxy extensions allowing us to skip ads still for now, but YouTube could do the exact same thing tomorrow if they wished. uBlock Origin wouldn’t save you, SponsorBlock wouldn’t save you, the only thing that could be done would be a black screen whenever an ad pops up.
Maybe YouTube doesn’t want to fall into the hole Twitch is in, with the proxy loophole, and they view fighting adblockers as a better choice than having to spend a massive amount of encoding expense to have the silver bullet in every country.
Man, that is an unfortunate wikipedia page this picture is on.
The age of people willing to go through the effort to start and maintain their own website has LONG since passed.
A nice utopia… but one that won’t ever be real, sadly.
The people running the instances (currently) don’t run their sites as a business.
The federated protocol itself makes no difference; lemmy.world is a good 70% of the content and could essentially run this part of the fediverse if it wanted to, as it is close to a monopoly already.
Thankfully, they aren’t greedy owners. They are fine with it “losing money” and not running ads and such.

Do I pirate? Yes.
My philosophy? I don’t wanna pay for it.
Honestly, with the exception of abandonware that can’t legally be bought anywhere, piracy can’t be legitimately excused. If you do it, you do it because you want something that you should pay for, but don’t wanna. Which is a choice you can make, I won’t hate you for it, but own that instead of pretending that you have a logical moral argument to getting it.
It is bad for the consumer… but the alternative is instant cracks, as seen with a lot of games on r/Crackwatch that don’t have the DRM.
Denuvo is the first software in a long time that has been able to successfully stop the supposedly inevitable march to cracking. It’s a miracle that more AAA devs don’t use it, since it works so well. (EMPRESS aside)
You can hate me all you want for saying this, but the war against piracy, for the most part, has been won.
Fuck Elon, but dammit, Tesla cars look sleek, this guy is wrong.
And Superchargers >>>> Every other charger as of right now.
Wow, finally, a doll for me!
