I’ve never heard of anyone getting arrested for removing DRM. DRM removal tools are actively sold online with no crackdown. However people keep getting busted here and there for piracy, and piracy sites keep getting shut down.

I think at the end of the day if the copyright holders are getting paid they don’t really care, and the police cares about piracy way less than they do.

I don’t think she reads any responses or anything

What’s the scam?

Rebased

Mastodon

Akkoma

Soapbox

Lemmy

I also have Lotide accounts but I don’t use them very much. I also have an emergency alt on Nostr which federates via Mostr but IDK if y’all are counting that as being part of the Fediverse.

Also Kbin was superceded by Mbin

Ohhhh that’s right cuz she uses #Peertube and #P2P chatrooms. Makes sense, although I think Fediverse Chick is, at least, working alone if not a scammer.

What’s up with the Fediverse Chick thing? Seems like a scam with no catch. Pretty weird.

Let’s call it Frontpage

I used to see people do this here and there but they got bored after a few months because nobody watched the content. If you could get a bot to do this, I could see this being a longer term project, but if it gets big enough some folks might object as well.

I wanna say it was built into Lemmy originally as well but they removed it from the FE

Literally the only reason I log in at all is because I have the Master Chief Collection purchased through the Microsoft Store and Windows always picks up my Windows license once I login

To bypass the forced Microsoft account you can create a unattend file and pre configure the ISO to make a local account.

I should have done this when I set up my computer, I had to manually change it after I set up Windows 11. I don’t have anything against logging into my Microsoft account but having the actual account on the computer be a Microsoft account instead of a local account feels wrong. What if my account gets hacked, I’d just lose access to my computer!

I haven’t noticed the AP being that slow in comparison to other outlets IMHO

What about NPR in the US as well

I like AP News a lil better than Reuters. Axios and NBC News ain’t bad either if you’re okay with using sites that skew a lil farther to the left.

I’ve got a MASSIVE fricking OPML file I grab my news from and punch into various apps and sites like Feedly. I grab basically as many feeds as I can, except those that typically paywall their sites (like WaPo, NYT and WSJ)

I wanna say there’s Hilarious Chaos which is right wing and a lil more normie. This instance is pretty good too.

How long do you give it?

True

Don’t pretend to be surprised, this is Lemmy we’re talking about. It’s how they roll! Inclusion through exclusion or something.
