What issue do you have with not automatically opening a link externally? Some apps have a setting in-app for whether or not to use an external browser.

Press the 3 dots when you’re in a web view and go to “Open in Firefox.” I don’t know how to make it automatic, though.

Yeah, that’s the dystopia we’re headed towards already arriving at, except I’m not fucking happy.

It should be illegal to restrict what people can do with their own goddamn motherfucking private property.

Lemmy instances appear to need a lot of RAM. Sorry about the evil site link, it was the first result on Google.

There are SO many bots here, they just don’t seem to be impersonating people like on Reddit. They just automatically post stuff like news or mirrored Reddit posts.

Technology is just going to keep getting better, too. Running servers and storing lots of media will get cheaper and cheaper in the long run, even if there are ups and downs short-term. That means that more hobbyists will be able to run these types of services on a lower budget and less donations.

I’m not 100% sure on this, but unless there’s an actual system for it, IP bans are also infeasible on Lemmy, right? Since only your home instance has your IP, you can just switch to a different instance, even if the admins try to ban your IP.

Plot twist: you’re just a British smoker.

Meanwhile modern consumer hardware starts breaking down after like a year, and it’s not by accident. So many global resources are wasted by planned obsolescence that I don’t think we’ll ever really know the full cost. All for what, to deepen the pockets of a few rich cunts? I bet the solution to the Fermi paradox is that all of the other advanced alien civilizations have people that are just as greedy as our own and bring their downfall in order to make a quick buck.

I wasn’t using my Linux system daily, so I had to update things in bulk when I would open it up. That can apparently lead to a lot of problems with Manjaro. If you used it daily, I’m not surprised you didn’t run into issues.

Manjaro is… less than stable, at least in my experience.

How is this rage bait? It seems like an inno-

Wait.

Goddamnit.

Well that sucks

Services weren’t rendered though. Was it your fault that she wasn’t picked up or his? ToS is generally not enforceable.

Why the hell didn’t you just do a chargeback or report them for fraud?

That’s interesting. Quite a goofy law, but interesting nonetheless.

You don’t tell your ISP that you want to do something illegal. Your computer tells your ISP’s computers to connect it to an IP address. If the ISP checks on your activity, they might see that you’re torrenting things. Should the postal service also crack open all of your packages to see what’s inside, lest they be held accountable for what you’re shipping or receiving?

Torrenting is not inherently illegal. You can torrent something that isn’t copyrighted if you really want to. The ISP does not know for sure whether or not you’re doing something illegal unless you’re using unencrypted communication like a dumbass.

If you own a bar that the mafia sometimes uses as a meeting place without your explicit knowledge, did you facilitate their crimes? If so, how? If not, why should ISPs be treated any differently?

Holding ISPs accountable for piracy opens them up to being held accountable for other crimes committed by their users. In the famous Dominion v. Fox case in the US, should the ISPs that served Fox’s website or the cable companies that enabled their show to be sent to viewers be held accountable for Fox’s defamatory statements?

How the FUCK is piracy supposed to be the ISP’s problem? That’s like going after a florist because someone bought their flowers and then illegally planted them around the neighborhood.

Yeah, I didn’t even know about this until he got pissed about it.
