I’m calling bullshit on pirates spending more on media than non pirates as a percentage of consumed content. I guess the correlation makes sense if we assume the worst offenders are those who are consuming the most media in general.
Regardless it is theft. That’s not to make an ethical judgement but it is. You can make an equivalent stand by not purchasing the media, you don’t have to also illegally download something to make the same point or provide the balance as you put it.
If the content creators want to create content without the might of a studio behind them giving financial backing they are free to independently publish their work on Kickstarter. Most aren’t happy to do so.
You want the studios to support your favourite content creators, but you don’t want to pay the studios. If everybody thought like this the whole system would collapse in a bad way.
How about instead of seeking out free ways to steal other people’s work you actually seek out the independent creators you are supposedly happy to pay for?
Make sure nobody gets paid for anything so that nobody bothers making the content you enjoy??
Hamas are using the innocents of Palestine as human shields after basically declaring all out war.
I have a PhD in physics. You would be surprised at the kind of people I know. They are definitely exaggerated caricatures, but a lot of what the characters do does actually remind me of people from my departments.
To be fair to them even though the jokes were poor they did their homework with the physica.
Haha, I wonder if AI could produce better Star Wars sequels than Disney. Although my stance has softened on them recently compared to when they first came out.
That would be better, but just seems more trouble than it’s worth for the quality. People ultimately do want to watch good well written shows. Apart from those who don’t!
It’s not just trash, it just wouldn’t make sense.
AI would kill off a character only to forget that the character was dead. There would be no chronology, it would be unwatchable.
AI is nowhere near the point where it can actually write a script. It doesn’t even remember what it has written to you 5 minutes ago, how is it going to keep shows and TVs consistent? Even when you tell it what you want it to do and that it’s wrong it still provides wonky information.
I fucking love this.
Spot on, I’ve noticed this as well. So much black and white thinking and poorly developed and thought through political opinions infest this site.
Fuck cars, eat the rich, Bernie is the only decent politician, ACAB. It’s all populist low effort bullshit.
Some do, some don’t.
But if we’re going to make claims to lands based on history it’s an indisputable fact that Judaism has a much deeper history in Jerusalem.
Some Israelis serve in the army, most don’t. I’m by no means under the illusion that Israel as a state don’t have blood on their hands as well
Are we going to talk about the racist doctrine that Hamas follows as well for balance? I have no love for the Israeli government or hardcore Zionism but we can’t pretend that what has happened is in any way justifiable.
But the people who are born there didn’t steal the land. Its been generations since Israel was founded. This is an incredibly reductionist take.
At what point do you roll the clock back to? The city of David in Jerusalem was settled by Jewish people in the bronze ages long before the religion of Islam even existed.
You can’t really describe people who are born there as being settlers at this point, regardless of whether the state should have been formed in the first place.
Just being honest. It’s only the 0.5% of nerds that use Lemmy that actually care. It’s just one more thing I can’t bring myself to care about.
I’ve never really liked Firefox and I’ve tried it multiple times. As for big companies tracking data, I think that’s pretty much unavoidable at this stage and I don’t really care.
My only criteria for browsers is just stuff loading when it should and fast. Corporations are welcome to my shit data, the only thing that annoys me about that is they profit from it and I don’t.
Is it just me or is edge actually a decent browser? It’s not like the dark internet explorer times.
Perhaps you should try reading what I actually said instead of what you thought I said.
It literally is theft, theft is a well defined legal concept.
