  • Binding the interface is definitely the recommended way to go about it, it was in some manual when I first informed myself about torrenting. But it's not required and easy to miss if you don't consume correct resources, it's not obvious.

  • There is no other reason to do it like this in a Lemmy post other than you want to publicly discredit the devs somehow. This is quite obviously a mistake and not a way to harvest admin passwords. Just fixing it and not trying to stir up shit would have been the right thing to do.

  • OP managed to find the bug. He knows how to fix it. Obviously he'd know how to make an issue about it, and probably even know how to contribute his fix that he already made in the official way to the open source project.

    You do not possess these skills so obviously you're not the one who should make the issue.

    Yet he decided to somehow create this public post highlighting something that could be sketchy to try to publicly discredit the devs. There is no other reason to do it like this.

  • Why make a Lemmy post about this and not just a GitHub issue?

  • Just don't use repacks like this, the original package is fine. Bandwidth is often free if you get a torrent, no need to save a few hundred MBs with ridiculously CPU intensive compression algorithms.

  • Well, it's not "growing" per se, but we produce fertilizers which are "plant food", so you could say we grow food for our food even for plants.

  • Eventually, yes. If everyone's needs are provided for, there is no requirement anymore to extract value from art, one can just make it and share it freely.

    Copyright should be abolished.

  • Why is no one mentioning here that the business model shouldn't exist? If a copy can be made basically for free, there is no reason not to make it basically free. We should be providing everyone with the means to live regardless of their ability to sell stuff. If everyone was free to do whatever they please because their existence was provided for, people would still make media, because people love making things like that.

    Of course that might mean that in the short term, while we don't do this, pirating might mean that some things stop existing. I'd be completely fine if all Hollywood movies and other shit disappeared overnight. Maybe then people would finally come to the understanding that our current model of doing things sucks.

  • It's not a problem though. If you as a pirate want the business model of selling copies to not exist anymore, everyone always pirating would achieve that and not be a problem.

  • You forget the alternative mindset:

    An active desire to see traditional ways of funding to disappear, and the media along with it.

  • If anyone is willing to endure slowness and low difficulty with me and my gf, then yes :) steam in my profile

  • Say hello to your braincell for me

  • Yeah obviously at this point that is true. I'm just talking about the general system, saying it doesn't need to be all bad absolutely. At this point, if we're talking about the US, they'd need a complete reform.

  • I'm not really missing it. It's just an unfitting analogy. People don't have to work like rotting apples.

    If one single person is being stupid we punish them/cast them out. The problem with people is that a large amount are being bad.

  • If I buy a bunch of apples and one is bad, then I simply don't eat the one apple and throw it away. Similarly, if there's one bad cop I just imprison it based on their illegal actions.

    The thing with the US police force is that enough of them are bastards, and nothing is done against their behavior, that you always have to assume that any one of them is a bastard. If it was only rare single bad cops and they would be immediately removed on first infraction, I'm sure there would not be a problem with the police.

    This is the rational truth and I think it was very simply expressed, without needing to say "All cops" nor "one bad cop makes everything terrible". There is theoretically no need for generalizations in intelligent discussion. The problem is that many people are too stupid or not interested in intelligent discussion, at which point these generalizations might become necessary simply because of practical limitations. But we should strive to use the more accurate statement if possible.

  • Not really though. It entirely depends on how engaged the people are. If the people are against it there's gonna be no hotels because hotels need people to work in them, and if no one agrees to do that, there's gonna be no hotel.

    The only reason why these "corrupt politicians" like you say can do their corrupt shit is because there are enough people supporting them.

  • It's confusing because it doesn't make sense, what is it the left/right third of? There is no feature on the controller that has any amount of sequential things. There is no identifiable "first" or anything ordered anywhere.

    That's why these buttons should be called LS, LB and LT for stick, button and trigger, which is still not perfectly intuitive without knowledge of the layout, but better than 123.

  • Meh, I mean sure capitalism sucks, but these people would try to exploit others for personal gain under any system.
