But it’s not, they’re not doing actual piracy there, they’re talking about it, and that’s very much not illegal
20·1 year agoThis is by no means a vital service, but Imgur. Not the image hosting part itself, although the multiple self-hosted alternatives available are mostly aimed at photographs and surprisingly very few if any to memes and reactions for chats, forums and social media. On the other hand, the particular use case of sharing memes and meme dumps is not being fulfilled by anything else at the moment. Go to Imgur even on it’s current sorry decayed state and at any time you’ll find multiple people sharing image galleries, usually of up to 50 memes at a time, sometimes more. Lemmy, Mastodon and Discord servers try to fill that gap but right now they can’t.
Correct!
VPNs were never intended to make you anonymous, if you expected a VPN to make you anonymous you were very mistaken
I’m thinking of the target user for this: For us here it’s a really unfunny joke. For the people wanting to do “non-kosher” stuff like watching streaming for other countries or even outright pirating i don’t think Google’s gonna have their back. People trying to hide their identity while doing compromising stuff (like anything sexual or identity related, not illegal but not something they want in public) hopefully know not to trust Google on this. And corporate users already have their own corporate VPNs, don’t think they’re aiming for those (yet).
Who the fuck is left as potential user? My only conclusion is the terminally gullible. I see no other option. And since of course there’s a sucker born every minute it’ll have millions of users…
Likely related to that lawsuit they’re dealing with
Until Gmail/Hotmail decides your IP is a spammer and forever you have deliverability issues from then on
Oh nice!
Still have a faint hope for Relay
Password managers, people! They help!
Now I wonder about the empty intersections
Here’s a post from 2021 about this person giving some background. I recall even a change.org petition requesting them being banned.
Also, you might recall them for making the news recently after banning an artist from /r/art because they said a piece by them was made by AI, and when proven otherwise they said that it was obviously based on AI and that they should find a better style, which escalated to the point that the sub was temporarily closed
Seeing that person going down is a nice piece of justice in this shitstorm. It happened for the wrong reasons, admins should have removed this person long ago and didn’t, but at least it’s something.
There’s already multiple instances of only one user for very similar reasons, so yeah, if that’s what you want you can do it today
That’s the stated plan, wait a bit until things settle
