asking if they subscribe to other myth based beliefs, religions, etc
What you actually said:
Out of interest are you religious or subject to some other form of mythical belief system? I ask because clearly you lack motivation for the truth, preferring hearsay and urban legend that I must assume supports a wider world view. by @Hackerman_uwu
My thought: this kind of behaviour is one of things that made Reddit fucking awful and I’d hate to see it flourish here in the fediverse.
So, it’s basically 4chans all the way down.
Nominally, you’d need to go through some request process to request federation with other large instances. Then they’d vet your configuration before adding you.

Welcome to the Eternal September, Part 2: When the AIs started generating content.
So I think there are a couple of “phenomena” swirling around right now that are stimulating interest in this kind of DRM.
The first, of course, is AI. If people start using AI as an intermediary, it becomes difficult for web sites to push advertising or to even understand what views they are getting. Putting a DRM requirement on connections to your own web site would help you filter “real users” from AI and search engine bots, and potentially open an avenue to charging AIs & search engines for sucking out your content into their own databases.
Is this good? Bad? I mean, at some point, we have to figure out how to track the flow of information into AI so we can figure out how to charge for it, or every web site that depends on monetizing content will dry up. But yes, it means adding some draconian tracking & verification.
The second is the fediverse. Google makes money from advertising, and people are shifting to advertising-free platforms. The more time people spend in Mastodon, Lemmy, Calckey, Pixelfed, Peertube etc. the less time they are consuming advertising in Twitter (or whatever it is this week), Reddit, Facebook, Instagram, and Youtube.
A potential side effect of this DRM initiative might be to try and segregate the Internet into “safe” (that is, advertising-supported proper web sites that have gotten all registered with Google DRM and require it for full connectivity) and “unsafe” (those crazy nutballs running Mastodon instances), where Chrome is gonna throw up big red banners warning you that you’re in a dark corner of the Internet whose safety cannot be assured!
I wonder if Google is looking out there at a BUNCH of the big players and asking, who is gonna be around in 20 years, and what technology can be put in place to help them lock down their investment?
Exactly. Break something, and the fun stops for now, but TIME FOR AN UPGRADE!
Part of it is looking back through rose-colored glasses. Sure, there was joy, but there was that time you stubbed your toe and you got so emotionally disregulated that you cried for an hour, or the time your parents put the wrong color socks on you and you screamed a bad word at them and refused to leave the house, or… etc.
You learned to regulate your emotions. That’s mostly a good thing, but it also means that you learn to control yourself in the moment, and you don’t tend to lose yourself in joy like you did as a child.
And that’s OK. I enjoy things differently now, than I did then. Back then, when I played with a toy car, it gave me great joy but if something broke, or things didn’t go my way, I also suffered uncontrollable anger and frustration. Today, when I take my TRX-4 trail truck out on the trails, I feel a different kind of joy that is mixed with intellectual understanding of the engineering of the machine, an appreciation of the beauty of the natural world that I didn’t have as a child, etc. And if something breaks, it’s not an emotional thing any more. I know I can fix it, I have the ability and the desire.
Heck, it’s enjoyable to break things, take them apart, and fix them again. That certainly wasn’t true when I was 6.

Weather, though. Not every place is California.
I am not at all expert in the matter, but aren’t freight rates heavily regulated? That would likely put a damper on expansion – if you can’t easily increase price in response to demand, the default strategy will be to milk your existing resources for every drop. Any expansion will detract from profit margin.
The better solution on that second command (chmod) would be
chmod -R u+rwX /target
-R : recursive, affects all files and subdirectiories
u: current user (who just took ownership of everything with the previous command)
+rwX: add read access, write access for all files and directories. Adds execute (list/traverse) access for directories only
That covers existing files/directories and anything new.
Of course, if the permissions are all screwed up now, one might have to run these with sudo!
More generally, the permissions on all new files/dirs are controlled by the umask command:

Maybe add the recursive option to change all dirs?
sudo chmod -R ugo+wx "/where/the/drive/ismounted"
Yeah, that previous explanation makes no sense – the YT guy who recorded his entire session was deleting the same stuff over and over again.
