If the amount of people that just put up with ads currently instead of switching to Firefox is anything to go by, I think the number of people who truly care is less that you might think. Especially when YouTube is such a monopoly.

This is how I handle pirating. I more or less treat pirating as a demo for the game. If I liked the game enough to finish it, 9/10 times I’m going to actually buy it unless I have some personal reason not to, like the dev being a pos I don’t wish to support or something.
I’m gonna be honest, I would prefer no underwear over the same pair 24/7. Unless homie is washing this shit every day, that gets gross fast.
didn’t notice the name until seeing this, that is indeed 42 words.
Why? I feel like that would be more common on Lemmy than anything. There is an actual point in using different instances here, I don’t see any point whatsoever on Reddit.
“renting” it is still taking money from the author even if the damage is physically limited to one item.
I do see where you’re coming from, but not necessarily. If my friend has zero interest in ever buying said book (or can’t afford to) and would never become a paying customer, there is no downside to sharing a copy. In fact, if they like the book enough, they may even become incentivized to buy themselves a copy or look into the author’s other work legitimately when they otherwise wouldn’t have.
This is how/why I pirate most games. I don’t have the type of pocket money to spend on games I don’t know I’ll love, so I pirate them first. If they’re good enough, I’ll buy the actual game on steam later. Spider-Man, Baldur’s Gate 3, Cassette Beasts, etc. are all games I plan to buy when I can afford to. And I can promise I never would have bought Slime Rancher 2 if I hadn’t pirated the first one at some point and enjoyed it.
As the other two said, Librewolf. It’s basically a very privacy-focused fork of Firefox, where just about all privacy settings are on by default.
is it really Arch if you’re not going in dry?
Man, Elon really does ruin everything. Can’t even use X as a variable anymore without a disclaimer.
It's okay little buddy, you tried your best.
Calling him a narcissist isn’t really an insult either way. It’s just a fact about him. The dude only cares about himself.
