camcorder at the tv gives such ugly picture. that’s for n00bs.

i was the one in my family who figured out how to connect vcrs together to copy… “family home videos”. i was 10 btw. adults were useless. 1980s Will Smith was right when the said they just don’t understand… (now though, he just don’t understand)

if i didn’t have to go to school, i could have put blockbuster out of business.

booooo

this should never be a criminal offense. any criminal statutes enforcing corporate copyright is a moral perversion. a civil lawsuit matter at most.

how is this any different from debtors’ prison??

individual creators should, of course, have huge power to protect their creations under the law, but anyone other than the individual should be harshly prevented from using copyright protection. in practical terms, enforcement is expensive and high-effortn for an individual, but that’s what law firms are for. creators can also form cooperatives or collectives to aggregate their interests and legal efforts. there’s no need nor justifications for extractive corporate entities to exist.

Japan also arrests a lot of pirates. using state terrorism to enforce capitalist corporate exploitation of creators and consumers… Japan govt clearly uses a terroristic policy of draconian enforcement against minor offenders in order to frighten those considering pirating. a state that rules by fear is an unredeemable tyranny.

🤮

oh yeah this is a fantastic language learning tool

(although it can bring up problems with tonal languages like Vietnamese, Thai, Mandarin, Cantonese, etc where the lyrics often abandon the words’ inherent tones and follow the song melody instead. )

crunchy was criminal since the get go. their earliest releases were unauthorized reposts of fansubs, for which they already charged subscription fees!

so they started their existence by pirating while making money through stealing fansubbers’ (volunteer btw) work.

so true

yeah, no doubt, it’s not being subsidized.

low income privacy supporters don’t want it subsidized either.

at the same time, they are in fact excluded from this model of phone.

in the universe of possibilities, it’s possible to have an affordable phone with privacy intact that serves more communities, at some time in the past or future.

but not from murena, not right now.

tl;dr no duh.

it’s not.

I’m not blaming Fairphone nor Murena. the economy everywhere is not helping make things cheaper.

it doesn’t change the truth that right now, privacy is for the rich.

1200€???

ok… i guess privacy is only for the rich

edit: privacy via this phone model is only for the rich. you nitpickers happy now?

only thing in the universe/multiverse that is 100% certain…

is humans overestimating certainty.

the OP explicitly said no need for git

does it work across LAN or p2p Bluetooth without WAN like Briar, Cwtch, etc?

brilliant!

if you’re not actually promoting gmail, you ought to make that explicitly clear.

by pointing out something bad about proton and praising gmail’s version of that, it looks like you’re doing nothing other than recommending gmail in a privacy community.

everyone already knows gmail has high usability and convenience and zero (financial) cost. using it as an example in this community is redundant and ineffective. better to use another e2ee email service as an example.

in all seriousness, palantir and clearview are way more dangerous than most of the other shit going on out there. only Putin has greater max evil potential (when considering not only politics and military but also Russian Mafia and western politician campaign secret donations).

theyre basically Albion from watch dogs legion.

I’ve heard of “pirate radio” since decades ago but never understood what is pirated about it.

are they broadcasting pirated music? broadcasting from ships committing maritime piracy? drinking Captain Morgan?

not sure exactly what features you need but there are

• losslesscut
• avidemux
• mkvmerge and mkvmergegui

if command line is OK, ffmpeg is the most versatile and customizable and tons of support docs and question forums (superuser, stackoverflow, askubuntu) for every conceivable niche one-off operation
