Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    locked ones don't provide DRM guarantees either. it takes a script kiddie five minutes to break DRM whenever some new scheme comes out.

    It's probably contractual obligations from shitty media companies.

    [–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago (1 children)

    quite probably. Ironically it does nothing helpful because pirates are gonna pirate.

    If anything, it's does the opposite by driving would-be legitimate buyers (well... Subscribers) into piracy.

    You won't provide it to me even if I pay you, because you don't like the system I use? Fine, I'll keep my money and pirate it instead.

    the Dutch East India Company were the bad guys. Just saying.

    ...ok?

    TF does that have to do with modern media piracy?

    [–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

    If the monopoly is the bad guys… the pirates are the good guys, right?

    [–] Darkassassin07@lemmy.ca 9 points 11 months ago

    Ah, I see.

    If purchasing isn't owning, then pirating can't be stealing.
