You can’t kill someone in one hospital and get a job easily in the next for example.
well that’s not true.
e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christopher_Duntsch
there’s a lot of clearweb sites dedicated to subtitles… and they have different versions for different pirated files.
here’s some: https://www.guru99.com/subtitles-download-english.html
well at least they appreciate irony
if you make a new torrent out of the downloaded one’s directory, the hash should match up and magnet should automatically be the same torrent you downloaded.
although your os probably threw some hidden files in there to fuck that up.
the main filename is usually unique and searchable though… and you could start the new download, let it create folders and temp files, then stop it and copy the completed files over, then manually recheck the torrent….
you’d need a new download directory of course….
(i’ve done this one)
futurewise you can have some programs automatically save a .torrent file for new downloads (qbittorrent, at least).
yes but why is probably the bulk of it…
in journalism they teach you to only do headlines with a question if the answer is no, otherwise just make it say “piracy is justified”.
obviously this guy is a musician and not a journalist, and as such, actually thinking about things he makes….
(i like his other videos too)
no like i’ve been a computer nerd my whole life and went to college for computer science… and i control my own computer, unlike almost everyone else.
and at least with a pc you can control it… most people don’t
yeah but i actually control my computer
i don’t own a tv… just a computer
i’d rather masturbate with a cheese grater than own a “smart” tv….
imho: UX-wise.
a: marketing, the name Mastodon is not in common usage, at all… it’s named after a (very cool) metal band… i love it, but your avg chap will hear “mastodon” and wrinkle their nose and move on in the sea of infinite new apps that are shinier… i think this hurt Diaspora a lot as well… at the end of the day, it’s a social network and people have to actually talk about it…
like, regular schmoe’s who don’t love new words have to drunkenly say at a bar “hey add me on ____” and bluesky is so so much better for that.
… remember, regular sports bar types need to say it to each other… grandma’s in nursing homes need to be comfortable with it.
“federated” is a big word and concept, but still the best word for it… after decentralized….
….
b: probably bigger but Jack Dorsey is kinda touted as this super moral tech luminary, even though he quit bluesky for centralizing, he still added a lot of weight to that critical mass a social network needs to achieve to be useful at all.
….
c. actual UI: trying to tag a username and instance is pretty cumbersome… on twitter or insta or most things, you can type @username and tag anyone, on lemmy it’s not as big of a deal because it’s little forums organized around posts, instead of posts organized around users… on a microblogging or friend-network thing like diaspora, it’s just not easy enough.
like, granny in the nursing home isn’t going to type !sonnyboy@dopemastonny.federaloo.org… or get all that….
if you don’t abstract all that away, regular users will be afraid and you’ll get mostly techies and people ideologically motivated to join….
and of course, most of the ideologically motivated ones will take bluesky as close enough… especially because it’s gotten big enough….
