It depends entirely on how you do it. If you’re just being a dick about it and it had no effect on the thing they were saying and you simply do the

you’ll probably get downvoted. If you’re nice about it people are usually appreciative of it.

You can get banned for voting on Lemmy.

You’re not accounting for lurkers which make up ≈80% of any social media site from what I remember. So you end up with what 50 million people actually posting as humans. That is easily outweighed by a significantly smaller portion of bots because that post at a much higher rate than a person can.

Fucking source‽ Yes companies do scummy shit with IP all the time but no companies are not reprinting books without paying authors unless there is some crazy contract bullshit.

So what should be done so that authors and inventors are fairly compensated under our current economic system? I am not in support of capitalism to be clear but we are stuck with it for the foreseeable future and I don’t want small authors to have large companies just steal their books and reprint them.

IP is important in the current capitalist world. In an ideal world I absolutely think IP would be abolished but without it there would be no way for a small company to make something and not have it stolen out from under them by a mega corp.

I do not think current IP law is perfect or even very good now but under capitalism it is something that is necessary. Even in open source it matters because without it all the licenses in the world would not matter.

People have been saying this on reddit since before I left reddit.

I used to be a huge user of all the drama subs but they started getting formulaic and obviously bullshit before I even considered leaving.

So more energy use for what the people that are into AI are calling a worse model. Is someone going to get fired for this?

Do you realize how hostile the outside is to non-adults? Like genuinely I’ve seen people call the cops because there was a kid riding a bike unsuprivized in a suburban neighborhood. Malls are dying and there’s nothing to replace them as a meeting spot.

This isn’t even getting into the seeming requirement to spend what feels like 100$ to see a movie now or any of the other stereotypical hang outs. Or how many people have parents that simply do not have time to drive them places.

I’m genuinely interested in your response because I genuinely think the world has become actively hostile to kids being kids.

I’ve been seeing enough of what the UK police does recently to belive that there is definitely some other reason that these cars were apprhended.

I can’t pay down my debt right now. I’m actively looking for a job for over a month with god knows how many applications. I’ve heard back from three places McDonalds, an entry level car repair job, and devil corp. I know I am not alone in this.

We are past the point of runaway. Even if stopped all greenhouse gasses from being added today would still get hotter. We need solutions to allow us to survive that time.

God this made me remember my parents getting me an iPod touch and a 50$ gift card. I listened to an owl city album for days on repeat lmao.

You could just be young. By the time I was old enough to start pirating Spotify had already existed for years and it’s just significantly easier than getting into a tracker. My wife has yearly playlists she’s been making since she was a teen and doesn’t want to loose those.
