I dont feel the need to tie myself into knots trying to dodge piracy or justify it. I pirate because i dont like these companies and dont want to pay for their product. It doesnt matter how easy it is to access all that matters is the licensing and the intent of the rightsholder to distribute it.

The best deals are worth the risk of dying

Driving with my mum was insane. She kept screaming that I was to close to the cars and holding on for dear life.

Relax women ive played GTA I know how to drive already. Do not bring the vibes of fear and panic into my automobile. No one drives the speed limit anyway.

It works fine even if you need to work for a meal and a roof.

Wow I had no idea how many services they provide and they do some serious numbers.

What do you mean a wild take, do you think tradies dont say this? When I worked in construction it was common to hear people suggesting drop out of high school and join the trades. I think you should at least finish highschool but if you’re really doing shit in school then fuck it why not. Plus its just a joke, its not that serious.

Average tradie’s advice

Does it need to be 1:1 to be considered as easy? Putting files on a cd is easy. It takes less than a min to figure it out for a new person. Same for USB.

There is a right click menu that handles all this

I do have a USB CD drive. But i had to go out and buy it. Ive only used once to get a bunch of family photos off old CDs.

Thats not true at all. Much of the work humans need to survive still requires humans.

The fact is that people aren’t going to work and getting paid by businesses that produce products nobody wants.

You are overthinking about a meme. There is nothing stopping you and 3 people from having a picnic in the park. I could do it every week. Someone unemployed getting the benefit could do this every week. Thinking that the current economic system is preventing people from this is insane.

You can mount and write to CDs like as easy as if it were a USB stick. The hardest part now is getting a CD drive.

Its hard to break into peoples minds with no advertising budget.We can’t tell people on reddit about Lemmy because reddit bans your account.

Lemmy got a ton of traffic after the api black out and it did an incredible Job at retaining a lot of those users. There were 200k active users and Lemmy was much more unstable at the time. Active users did fall off as expected but 50k stayed for 2 years. Thats great in my opinion. If we had another migration wave I reckon the retention would be even higher.

For someone to switch from reddit to Lemmy three things need to happen

1. They need to know it exists

2. They need to dislike reddit or centralised corporate controlled social media on an ideological level.

3. They need something disruptive to happen. Either a ban or a change they dont like.

what other kind of squirrels are there? Saying tree squirrels to me is like saying water fish.

Nah its good being a catchall community where people can quickly dump anything they find funny. There aren’t enough posters for us to try and neatly categorise and contain every type of post.

I would have thought they were hibernating. He must not have collected enough nuts inside his tree storage.

You’re right but i gave up on this battle years ago.

And there is 0 difference or impact regarding our opinion on the proton CEO.

Very nice. Especially around this time of year.
