Piracy-based Linux distros
  • I don't recall even a linux based recovery distro with that. I remember Hirens had a lot of pirate stuff on it in it's older versions, but that was a windows based recovery boot disk.

  • [question] Is there a lemmyImage freshrss plugin?

    So I'm loving the switch as lemmy's growing larger, I've always used my freshrss reader to view topics. Now with reddit there's an extension for freshrss RedditImage that displays reddit images and photos without the need to click the link.

    Is there anything like this in freshrss for lemmy? I wish I understood php well enough to find a spot that might be listing domains or something if it's just a matter of telling it to do the same thing to other domains or something.

    How do you explain the Fediverse to someone who has never heard of it?
  • Simply put, think more like celphones and e-mail, and less like facebook. You can register an e-mail with google, yahoo, your ISP, your school, your job, or all of the above at the same time, and no matter which one you are using, you can still send a message to your mother for some god forsaken reason is still using an AOL e-mail address. If your e-mail provider is a jerk, throws too many ads, tracks you too much or simply hasn't added the features you want. you can just switch providers, and YOU can switch providers alone... and still e-mail all your old friends without having to beg them to change as well.

  • In a 4 day work week, which days should be off?
  • I'd second that. Perk of a 4 day work week can be great for everyone. though I suppose the problem is culture is kind of revolved around most people having set days off. Would create a challange for say scheduling parties, family gatherings, religious services etc... Though the pluses IMO would be removal of so much conflict when it comes to things. Both be more availability to use, and hours available to work at banks, etc... if we didn't declare an official "business days"/hours

  • how can you block ads on hulu? (Hulu ad block, ublock aren't blocking ads)
  • Further I'd have to say, that's actually MORE ethical than blocking ads.

    Pirating via bit torrent or any indirect source. Hulu, youtube, or whatever spends $0 delivering the movie to you. Technically they spent nothing on you and their only loss is the hypothetical what you might have spent if you found it worth it.

    On the other hand, adblocking... actually does cost them. They are hosting, so they are paying for the bandwidth to deliver the stream to you.

    For an analogy I suppose, bittorrenting is a bit like copying recipes to cook for yourself or family and friends at home. Technically it's illegal but it doesn't cost them anything.

    Alternatively... blocking the ads is a bit like walking into a restraunt, grabbing free bread, then dashing.

  • Pretty sure it's the other way around... black mirror episodes are usually based on things that are already being debated. Most blatent one to me was the points system in nosedive (which is basically the social credit system already being done in china).
