I am not shocked.

‘My whole library is wiped out’: what it means to own movies and TV in the age of streaming services (www.theguardian.com)

*What rights do you have to the digital movies, TV shows and music you buy online? That question was on the minds of Telstra TV Box Office customers this month after the company announced it would shut down the service in June. Customers were told that unless they moved over to another service, Fetch, they would no longer be...

Piracy doesn't take money from artists, just ask Cory Doctorow, a person making their living as a writer while uploading the torrents of his novels himself.

Corporate consolidation is what kills the artists. The studios make less movies per year, so the a list actors go to television and take the roles Rob Morrow used to get.

WamGams ,

I love Lemmy, but the harassment and sock puppet accounts is a huge fucking issue. It seems like some of the main instances are just tankies who won't allow anybody else to have an enjoyable time

WamGams ,

What's the story on PETA killing animals?

WamGams ,

Euthanasia as in mercy killing?

Your beef with PETA is that they euthanize sick animals when shelters can't afford to?

WamGams ,

Have you stopped eating cows, chickens and pigs? If not, you, like PETA, believes they deserve death.

But do you have a non biased source not funded by the meat industry?

WamGams ,

So PETA doesn't euthanize sick animals?

WamGams ,

So... No, you don't.

And like PETA, you also believe certain animals are deserving of death.

I don't know, man, I think you might be a future member.

WamGams ,

Asking for clarification is bad faith?

WamGams ,

Am I arguing or using the Socratic method?

Have you always felt the Socratic method is bad faith, or just when you already have a strong opinion?

WamGams ,

How many family pets have they kidnapped in total?

WamGams ,

So is the number 1 time, 5 times? What is the situation?

WamGams ,

It is an ad hominem to point out that like PETA, you are responsible for the death of animals?

WamGams ,

Nobody is forcing you to be in this conversation, or be on the defensive.

If you can't answer questions that make you uncomfortable to answer, that's something you should reflect on.

I am willing to answer any questions you may have of me.

WamGams ,

I am just asking the total number that you are aware of?

Is it just 1? Is it 5? Is it 8 million?

WamGams ,

What percentage of euthanasia is from kidnapped pets and not sick and dying animals?

WamGams ,

Attacking the other person?

Lol, I think you forgot to sign into the other account because this chain is me talking to your pivot account.

But, no, I am not attacking you. i am merely pointing out that you have a formed opinion without being able to answer incredibly simple questions about your stance.

WamGams ,

They are out of money?

How did they stop bring healthy, in your opinion?

WamGams ,

Do you eat animals?

If so, that means you give money to animal murderers and that animals die for your benefit.

I apologize if you are vegetarian or vegan, but if so, when did you begin defending animal AG propaganda websites from being questioned?

WamGams ,

Are they still doing that? I haven't heard about anything recently.

My understanding is they have been following the laws while other more extreme groups are now doing the extreme work.

My understanding could very well be wrong though.

WamGams ,

I haven't made any claims, i am just asking for the factual information regarding other people's claims.

WamGams ,

You commonly refer to yourself as "the other person"? Weird, but okay. I will take that at face value.

It only makes logical sense to be against the killing done by others if you yourself have no involvement in killing.

We wouldn't want you to be the pot who called the kettle black.

WamGams ,

What does the term euthanize mean? What are the numbers of euthanasia reported by PETA and what percentage of those are not sick and dying animals?

WamGams ,

Killing for sensory pleasure isn't needless in your book?

Surely euthanasia is less needless than your personal reasons for involvement in animal murder, wouldn't you say?

WamGams ,

I think you might need to look up what a Gish gallop is, because you will almost certainly find you have applied it to a situation in which it doesn't belong.

WamGams ,

Maybe it is pedantic. But people should have examined beliefs. I'm sorry you are against that.

WamGams ,

Asking for clarification is obnoxious?

Do you always believe that, or just when the meat industry and the information found on their websites is being questioned?

WamGams ,

How many healthy pets do they actually euthanize?

Is this something they are regularly doing, or is there one or two cases?

WamGams ,

One of the people accidentally responded to me with the wrong account, so I am assuming bit is a lot less people downvoting than it appears.

WamGams ,

Have I told a lie?

WamGams ,

I think my stance is clear: you guys are using meat industry propaganda to push forth a narrative and are unable to defend that narrative from the simplest of questions.

I could also say that you are obnoxious and could spend your time better, but I wouldn't do that to somebody I am making the choice to engage with. Maybe I'm just a nicer person.

WamGams ,

So I haven't told a lie in this conversation?

WamGams ,

Sure thing, other person!

WamGams ,

I'm down with it, other guy!

WamGams ,

You made an offer likely knowing what content your mother consumed.

Also, doing this for her means those charlatans aren't actually getting her money.

Something to consider in favor of doing your mom a solid.

Just make sure you out satanic films in the folder and rename them to Christian themed titles.

WamGams ,

Tank man was not ran over.

WamGams ,

India, the nation everybody hires to when they need something hacked?

This seems really bad.

WamGams ,

Nations don't have skin color, people do.

Please go accuse somebody more deserving of racism.

WamGams ,

Tik tok is not a journalism app. China does not have free speech, nor do they export it, and if what they are telling you is true, than let's talk about the genocide of the Uyghurs.

WamGams ,

Hint: if an aoo is collecting your data and tracking you, as this app does, it is not open source.

This implies they are selling your data to brokers.

WamGams ,

It doesn't collect your data or it isn't selling that data?

Another user on this very thread pointed out the specific trackers being used by the app. Unless that person is lying about them collecting the data, they will almost certainly be selling it.

That's the thing about data collection: its a lot of money to store. How are they funding the operation unless turning you into the product?

WamGams ,

Let's hope you are right. I personally think an app of this nature should be fully open source.

WamGams ,

That is great.

But I also think leftists should not be downloading protest apps directly through google, because they have that data.

We need to better expose protest movements to things like fdroid and how to combat the surveillance they carry in their pocket.

Short termz the app seems like a good thing, but we need to move away from google play long term.

WamGams ,

Are weebs even obsessed with Japanese culture, or just the children's entertainment and snack foods aspect of it?

Forgive my bluntness, but I've never had a weeb give me their thoughts on Murakami's latest novel.

WamGams ,

I have been told that Whobird is just a reskin of Merlin and doesn't work as well. Any truth to that? I just got into birding and Merlin works beautifully it would be hard to give up.

WamGams ,

I suggest Proton's full suite. It's $99 a year or $13 a month, but absolutely worth it for the VPN and password manager alone.

WamGams ,

God damn, capitalists can be so fucking stupid.

WamGams ,

I feel like 6 years ago was the height of their marketing. Literally every podcast I listened to had them as a sponsor and maybe half of the YouTube sponsorships were Nord.

It is because of them most people probably now know what a VPN is, but I feel like their marketing budget is a hundred fold smaller than it used to be.
