I think it's a bit unfair too, buddy. Usenet with the *arr stack and Jellyfin is such a great experience with all that automation, once you've got it all setup. Mine's setup to preference H265 and 5.1 channel audio, and specific resolution/quality. I mean, yeah you can access much the same content completely for free using torrents instead, but it feels like going back to the steam age now to do it all manually.
MLs have been predicting the "inevitable" collapse of capitalism for a century now. When can we expect some progress? :p
You can’t get change just by getting people to agree with you, otherwise America would have Ranked Choice Voting, Medicare for All, free public College education, and legalized weed and abortion nationwide.
I think this is great point. In spite of majority public support for issues like these, it's seemingly impossible to get either party to take action. That's not how healthy democracies are supposed to work. I'd probably agree that public support is a pre-requisite for change, but it's not always sufficient. If the public want something and the government don't agree (say, over suspending arms shipments to Israel), what can the public actually do about it? Really nothing, other than disruptive protests or taking direct action to physically stop the shipments. And then it's obvious what would happen to the protestors.
IMO it's a good idea to use a VPN when accessing any pirated content, as a general rule. While there are exceptions (e.g. usenet, specific countries with piracy-friendly laws/enforcement) and it's arguably unlikely end-users of pirated streams would be prosecuted, why take the risk? It's cheap insurance and there are few downsides. In some countries ISPs will act on reported piracy at your IP address and you could have your internet cut off or suspended, and/or be fined. So, better safe than sorry.
PSA: make sure you use a VPN and a good adblocker like ublock origin before visiting any of the listed links. We have not verified whether these are legitimate fmovie mirrors or scammy clone sites.
Yeah totally agree, it's more of a shitty excuse politicians use. The reality is that it will impact the profits of the oil, gas and coal industries, but the economy as a whole will be much better in the long run once we are less dependent on fossil fuels. It's such a short sighted outlook.
That Harris used her nomination acceptance speech "with more than 26 million watching from home, to issue a forceful call for Palestinian human rights was actually remarkable," said Rolling Stone. It could be argued that "taking up the call for Palestinian freedom and self-determination is a bigger coup than a brief speaking slot of the kind the Uncommitted delegates were seeking." While the Uncommitted movement was unable to secure a speaker, group leaders "cast their work at the convention as a success," The Guardian said. Uncommitted's impact was still undeniable, as "numerous delegates, including older Black and white delegates from as far-flung as Texas, were spotted wearing keffiyehs in clear support of the pro-Palestinian movement," The Independent said.
Although much of Harris' rhetoric "continue[s] to be empty," Uncommitted Washington State DNC delegate Yaz Kader said at Rolling Stone, "The positive thing is when she did talk about Gaza, the roar from the delegates in support was palpable." Nevertheless, Kader said, until Harris "can make that change" from words to action, "I'm still uncommitted."
IMO Kader is 100% right to doubt whether Harris' words of support for "Palestinian freedom and self-determination" will translate into any meaningful policy changes. I hope they keep up the pressure on this.
This is an imperialist war by Russia to (re)vassalize their neighbor. Don't be supporting the illegal Russian invasion of Ukraine, or promoting defeatism here. Just because US = bad doesn't mean Russia = good.
Looks like he's putting together his own version of the Legion of Doom.
I think people are concluding you are right wing because your post history is full of pro-Trump apologia. You are walking a fine line on this topic. Nobody wants right wingers on Lemmy, so if you are coming across as a Trump supporter, or at the very least a Trump apologist, then people, including me, are obviously gonna be suspicious of your claimed political position.
And for the record, you have no right to say whatever you want on Reddit, or on this instance. dbzer0 is not a "free speech" instance, it's an Anarchist instance. If you don't understand the difference, then see this post for some light reading. FYI, you are expected to follow both the community and/or instance rules wherever you are posting. If you want to run your own instance and set your own rules, then go for it. Until that time, try to focus on something more productive than making excuses for Trump and being a "both-sides" bro.
That is strange then, I haven't noticed any issues lately, except for the occasional slowdown. Db0 did upgrade the image storage fairly recently and that made a big improvement to responsiveness, but I think that was a couple of weeks ago, so probably not related.

The headline is poorly written and awkward, but the core idea is actually kind of funny.
"We've changed, I promise. It'll be different his time!"
The top few comments from hexbear’s refederation with lemmy.ca post:
that site has like 20 daily users, i dont think we’ll even notice they’re federated unless a hapless lib accidently steps in it.
It’d be nice to radicalize more people
cry havoc and let slip the bears of posting
No, these lemmy fuckers come in here and harass trans comrades.
Going onto lemmy dot cee ayy and saying DOWN WITH CIS
KKKlanada’s largest impact on American culture is a parody song by Weird Al.
I think it’s funny that by getting lemmy.ca domain this website represents all of kkkanada in the lemmyverse. knowing kkkanadians i bet that weighs heavily on the maintainers. they perhaps even wish to subdue and recuperate hexbear on behalf of liberalism.
Excuse me, but it’s KKKlanada
Death to Canada
Whining about pig poop balls was their first reason to block us
Do you guys really want to be re-federated with Hexbear?

Yeah, you can integrate torrents into the stack, afaik. But due to some technical considerations I don't like to run a VPN on my media server, and in my country you definitely need one for torrents.
