Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ@lemmy.dbzer0.com•What would you considered "Ethical Piracy"English
271·2 years agoOh yeah I was thinking more along the lines of video games or movies where there are too many people creating it. For books, etc you can definitely donate.

Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ@lemmy.dbzer0.com•What would you considered "Ethical Piracy"English
23·2 years agoThere should be a way to pay only the workers when you buy something. In that case, you could pay them but only after pirating and making sure you enjoy it. Since there is nothing like that, I think you should pay only content from small creators. Big creators already have plenty, and paying for anything else just gives money to greedy executives who then lower the quality of the content to make more money. Of course, if you have the means and don’t pay anything, you are just making sure there will be less of that content made in the future. It isn’t scalable; if everybody pirated content without paying a single cent, there would be no content made except by hobbyists who don’t want to make a living out of it.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Data privacy: how to counter the "I have nothing to hide" argument?English
31·3 years agoEdward Snowden, a former National Security Agency contractor and government whistleblower, has been credited with the quote “Arguing that you don’t care about the right to privacy because you have nothing to hide is no different than saying you don’t care about free speech because you have nothing to say”. Snowden has argued that privacy is a fundamental right and that without it, individuals cannot have anything for themselves. The “nothing to hide” argument has been used to defend the collection and use of government data beyond surveillance and disclosure, but critics argue that it is inherently paradoxical and that what is hidden is not necessarily relevant. Snowden has also stated that the burden of justification falls on those seeking to infringe upon human rights, and that nobody needs to justify why they “need” a right.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How do you choose an instance and does that have a significant effect on your Lemmy experience?English
181·3 years agoI don’t know there is a lemmy-stats-crawler utility that does it automatically and produces a json file. So all I do is parse that json file to get the numbers.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How do you choose an instance and does that have a significant effect on your Lemmy experience?English
23·2 years agoDepending on which instances are blocked you will see different content in ones or others. Which is why I choose instance based on the minimum number of blocked users based on the results of this script.

General Discussion@lemmy.world•What Algorithms from Popular Platforms do you Like the Most?
192·3 years agoThe one I like most is YouTube, where it shows everything from the last few days and then only the most popular content from the last few weeks, months, and even years. I would like something similar, where the further I browse, the more votes a post must have to show up in the feed.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why people can't handle the truth?English
221·3 years agoHumans are more influenced by emotions than logic, which means that critical thinking alone may not convince them. Only those who are receptive to logical reasoning can be persuaded.

26·3 years agoEven if I subscribe, I’m going to have the same issue. As long as I’m subscribed to a couple of large communities, I won’t see content from any of the smaller communities. Maybe when something like this gets implemented, I’ll actually be able to use the subscriptions.

You Should Know@lemmy.world•YSK: Imagus is Hover Zoom for Lemmy that actually worksEnglish
18·3 years agoImagus is a browser extension for Firefox that allows users to enlarge images and display images/videos from links with a simple mouse-over. It is similar to the Hover Zoom extension, which is a popular tool for browsing memes and gifs on desktop. However, Hover Zoom has been flagged as spyware, so users may want to consider using Imagus instead. Imagus works with a wider range of links than Hover Zoom, including those from imgur. The extension also has customizable settings, including an expandable set of rules for getting larger images, media, or other content.
