I don’t know the situation in all of the countries, but the ones I know that allow you to make a copy of what you purchased also require that in making a copy you are not allowed to break any DRM. I don’t think there are many media being sold that do not include some kind of DRM these days.

Edit: agree that people may not know how to pirate stuff but ripping something in decent enough quality also requires quite specialist knowledge.

There are so many high quality rips out there. Bothering to rip these yourself makes not much sense, unless its very obscure stuff.

I got it running on a raspberry pi and have disabled the machine learning parts in the docker compose file. Works great.

Brother was the last decent printer company, wasn’t it?

True, can’t argue with that. I am maybe a bit too pragmatic when I say, I don’t care about the difference because the outcome for me as a user is the same.

See my other comment. That is not really the solution since you will simply get banned again after a while, depending on how much you interact there. Unless admin/moderation changes, making a new account just gives you a bit of extra time using those communities.

A little, sure, but from my point of view (which you are happy to disagree with), very little.

Personally I am a big Star Trek fan. I was stoked to see there is an actual dedicated Lemmy server for it, with many communities focused around everything Star Trek. But I disagree with their admin/moderation so much I had to change my account to another server. At some point ended up blocking the whole instance because I just cannot keep myself to just reading what others are posting.

So even if I can use another server, I cannot use those communities. Similar if I were a vegan and would not agree with what some of the more extreme users are posting.

There are not many active alternatives for these communities on Lemmy.

Well, exactly the same can and is happening on specific Lemmy servers too.

One of the vegan instances bans you if you downvote anything that speaks in favour of veganism. Not that I just do this out of spite, but there was this time where a thread about vegan cat food gained traction and I downvoted some comments that were really borderline. Ban within an hour.

Same on that notorious star trek instance. Go ahead and put some downvotes on Discovery related posts, it will also earn you a temporary ban.

So let’s not pretend that it’s only big bad reddit doing this.

That is not the point of making another browser.

If you want something completely different check out the KISS launcher or Kvaesito.

Findroid has been around longer with downloads working well too. Just has an issue where it doesn’t download the images of the items, which is a bit silly.

Look dude. I got none, but I got a piece of free advice. If you had put “templates for premiere and after effects” into the title instead of just “templates”, you may have more than my measly response to your question.

You can actually still edit your title here as well.

The site doesn’t suggest any alternatives though or am I not seeing that?

So how did you attach that fan to the case? Looks like an interesting idea seeing that its powered through the USB.

Can you selfhost a sync server? Be completely independent of them?

I think the big difference is that you can use it for free without any account needed, and all your data is stored locally in a format that remains accessible to alternative apps.

So the moment they start doing questionable stuff you are not a hostage to their app. There are alternatives, they are just not as nice as this currently.

In my android client I simply switch off NSFW posts. That gets rid of most of these.

I’m gonna give you the opposite approach. I browse all but then keep blocking communities I do not care about at all. It allows me to still see a lot of stuff I would normally not subscribe to and I get to see when new communities rise up. I also alternate between sorting for hot and active.

Could be his sister.
