Teach us then 😭

Those are urls, sobdomains are socker.piratesite.com and games.piraresite.com .

Thanks, I didn’t know this was an option :D.

Yeah, but is there a way to download flatpacks for an Install at another time?

I wanna be able to install it at a later point in time (for example when I reinstall my system)

Their git hub is gone

Anyone know where to get the most recent linux build as a .deb? I wanna have an installer in case I have to wipe my os or something like that.

That’s just false. For example I didn’t know Nebula existed before all those sponsored segments on the creators videos but I like the service now and am happy I got it…

Because I didn’t know of it before?

I know my klick on the link is counted if I am interested in the product they are selling.

Ot does if its a good ad / sales pitch and I actually buy the product which is not gonna happen if it is automatically skipped.

My nebula subscription hasn’t gotten more expensive.

I was kind of dissapointed when I read the new pipe team was having an issue with sponsor block, but tbh their reasoning makes a lot of sense:

And even thought I am using the sponsor block fork now I only skip the non-music part in music videos, because I do agree that creators have to make money somehow. And while I don’t love ads most of the time (sometimes they are really well made) my main issue with ads on Youtube/the wider Internet is how intrusive they are and them not respecting my privacy.

I’ve also used it to clone my car fab as a backup.

does that work? I thought modern cars used a challenge/response or rolling key system.

There seems to (at least theoretically) whitelist pairing-requests by mac-adress. Randomly hitting those few approved adresses consistently seems fairly unlikely: https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/50121103 (how to do it on Samsung, wish I had this option as well)

works on the newpipe fork as well

not really. In an ideal democracy you could simply vote those people out in the next election . In a well working democracy there is only so much they can do before they are not reelected.

The difference to NGOs is that in a democracy one person (ideally) has exactly one vote while your influence on non profits -especially when you are wealthy enought to afford your own- is mkreso connected to what you (can) donate, so how wealthy you are. In my opinion that makes relying on government more egalitarian whereas a system built on charities is more seceptable to oligarchigal structures.

(I understand that in many places Governments are (very) currupt or not democratic to begin with and there are many NGOs that are democratic (or meybe just plain better for the interests of the people) compared to those governments. And in those cases these NGOs are -for now- obviously better then the government. But imo with a stable democracy the government is a fairer morer stable and more equal solution.

what does it mean that europeans consider NGOs to be undemocratic?

In a democracy power should allways be held by the people. If you have a NGO -even when it does very good things- there allways is a danger that it could go against the peoples ideals or even their interests. You (as in the people as a whole) are also not as soverign when relying on NGOs for basic societal needs like a social saftey net as the voluntary donations founding them could stop any time. Thereby the power is transfered the donors (althought luckily most small-mid sized donors do not really exercize that power) who are mostly the wealthy as they just have more money to spend. A better solution is taxing fairly and using the common found gained throught that in a way the majority decides.

I recently watched an interesting video from Adam Conover on that: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Cu6EbELZ6I. Altgought I do not agree with everything said (I don’t think the Patagonia nonprofit in particular is problematic in my opinion the focus should have been set even more on the issue of something like that beeing possible) I agree with the key message for the reason provided above.

2 centuries? European colonialism continued well into the mid 20th century. There are still people alive who directly participated in them. Besides that, even thought most alive today did not participate directly they still benifit immensly from the colonial past of their countries.

And taking responsibility has been very slow/late and limited, often being limeted to apologies without reperations. The Belgian Crown for example only apologized for its involvement in forced labor and exploitation in the Congo three years ago. Germany only recognized its genocide in Namibia two years ago and refuses to pay reperations.

So yes for the shit they did (or bear a responsibility for if you wanna be more percise).

but that doesn’t scale as well so I am unlikeley to run into that most of the time
