From their post, I’d assume they’re looking for both.

Yeah, anyone looking to try Protonmail should be aware of how lock-in it can be if you’re on the free account. Maybe things have changed since, but I couldn’t set up email forwarding or bring my own client, and only noticed it when I was about to change provider.

I knew people still under 30 who put it on a playlist because they liked it and didn’t know it was a meme.

I remember a thread where someone had put a mining rig inside a hotel or apartment’s cleaning room and was running it off the stolen electricity.

My only gripe was that it doesn’t handle (unencoded) spaces in a URL name, which is probably correct behavior but they’re in the titles of torrents on some sites, so I’d have to manually edit them each time. I ended up just using qBT.

Vandalize ads where safe to do so.

Firefox is the best browser

It’s only real competitors, in my eyes, are Firefox forks.

I mean…if the movie is good you should support it

What is ‘it’? The movie is a published work, it can’t be financially supported. Who is being supported with the money you pay?

Vote with your wallet.

Unfortunately, consumer boycott (and conversely, support) usually isn’t an effective strategy at this scale you’re talking about. Unless you and all your friends are voting with a few thousand dollars, it’s hardly going to make a dent in the numbers.

Giving money to your enemy is idiotic tho. There is a class war out there and normies are too busy funding their oppressors

Absolutely. At the end of the day, most of the moral ideals being thrown around are, at the end of the day, nice ideas.

Giant corporations exist to get more money and, history shows, media companies will happily brainwash us and buy oppressive politicians just to push their profits up. Furthermore, they serve as a megaphone for the ideas of the owner class, who are historically the core force behind fascism when society is in crisis.

Giving them your resources is fucking suicidal.

It is always morally acceptable?

Morality is, literally, subjective. There is no universal answer to that question.

I personally consider anything being sold by a distributor to be fair game, no questions asked. If I pay for mainstream music, films or games, most of the time, zero of that money goes to the workers who created those artworks. It just makes rich owners richer, because they legally own rights. I would go as far as to say it’s morally wrong to pay for those things, it’s not neutral, it’s supporting a cycle of abuse at your own expense. So that’s my perspective on your ‘giant corporations’ question.

Digital copying isn’t stealing, unfortunately, because those giant companies deserve to have their hoard of capital expropriated.

haha rabid in what way?

“The leftists hate them, the fascists hate them, even the moralists think they’re in bad taste.”

Aaaand ima get banned aren’t I?

What is this, reddit.com? There’s no bourgeois advertisers or venture capitalists to appease here. [0]

edit: just noticed your account is registerd on lemmy.world… consider exploring other instances just in case they get out the banhammer. but, I mean, they can’t ban all of you.

I deleted it myself because I felt a couple of the targets were a bit too pointlessly edgy for the room. But some of them are spot on. (Eulogy Song from The Chaser’s War on Everything for those curious)

Carl and the Aqua Team make their position on piracy very clear.

Reminder to be aware of darknet mirrors like I2P sites and Tor .onion services - domains aren’t controlled by a company so they can’t just be taken down by a legal request.

For z-lib, the Wikipedia article lists their .onion and I2P addresses (I haven’t verified them so check before bookmarking): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Z-Library

This is authoritarian nationalism, not fascism.

They’re not defining fascism, they’re listing the consistent components. Their post is completely agreeing with your statement: “All fascism is nationalist and authoritarian, not all nationalism or authoritarianism is fascist.”
