But it’s not, they’re not doing actual piracy there, they’re talking about it, and that’s very much not illegal
Just tried to create an account on fedia.io, which is the biggest of the mbin instances (at just about a bit above 4K users, so not THAT much), and it just could NOT take the registration, all i get is “429 Too Many Requests”, after multiple tries. I suspect that says the instance is woefully underpowered for the traffic it’s handling
Clippy Reborn!
Here’s a laundry list from one of the Beehaw people, and apparently the devs don’t have any of this as a priority
I’m thinking of the target user for this: For us here it’s a really unfunny joke. For the people wanting to do “non-kosher” stuff like watching streaming for other countries or even outright pirating i don’t think Google’s gonna have their back. People trying to hide their identity while doing compromising stuff (like anything sexual or identity related, not illegal but not something they want in public) hopefully know not to trust Google on this. And corporate users already have their own corporate VPNs, don’t think they’re aiming for those (yet).
Who the fuck is left as potential user? My only conclusion is the terminally gullible. I see no other option. And since of course there’s a sucker born every minute it’ll have millions of users…
Likely related to that lawsuit they’re dealing with
Dude had an anonymous birdsite account with about a dozen followers, all they did was retweet stuff critical of the government, and somehow the government identified him and sentenced him to death over this. How did they find this info? Twitter outright gave it to them, therefore they became accomplices in a death.
Seems to be VERY tech related.
VERY understandable, requiring a GPU would limit it’s application and spread, i hope a good GPU-less solution is found eventually
I am saving this post for the future, informative! Thanks!
Considering there’s literally hundreds of kilometers of regular beaches equally beautiful in the region, seeing the small and usually remote nudist locals being invaded and hearing how “they keeping these places is a difficult notion” feels just petty
They enforce it this way in France i believe
Last i saw, the physical media version of their recent shows came with a box and a code to get it online, not actual discs, so they’re effectively getting out of the business of letting you own your media
Oh nice!
