Probably the beginning of the end for that open source project.

Very interesting and a much appreciated work on that project that suspiciously refuses to act upon those blobs.
Your opinion on censorship / moderation is so full of contradictions and misconceptions it's quite fascinating.
Honestly Lemmy is way too small to be monitored and acted upon.
So even though the question is interesting I think deleting Lemmy because of the current administration is an over reaction.
On the contrary you probably have the opportunity to freely dissent here when others on mainstream socials networks can't.
But I'm European so it's easy for me to say that this is probably safe here. You have to evaluate the risk yourself but I think no administration gives a single sh** about Lemmy.
I bought OW at release and it's one of the best value I ever got in gaming.
The game was around 40€ many years ago and I had all heroes since release, plenty of lootboxes and skins. And I played hundreds of hours on it. Yes they killed their game in the recent years but that doesn't mean I didn't get any value from it. I honestly think they were pretty generous for the first years considering it wasn't price at 60€ like some CoD.
I get it but I don't really mind when it's a very old game. It's not like your copy of R6 siege has that much value many years after release.
Same goes for OW.
That's not fair to change the system only when businesses require it. I received a fuckin' letter from a government entity where I live for having downloaded the trash tier movie "Demolition".
I agree copyright and patents are bad but it's so infuriating that only the rich and powerful can choose not to respect it.
So I think openAI has to pay because as of now that shitty copyright and patent system is still there and has hurt many individuals around the world.
We should try to change the laws for copyright but after the big businesses pay their due.
They are not releasing anything of value in open source recently.
Sam altman said they were on the wrong side of history about this when deepseek released.
They are not open anymore I want that to be clear. They decided to stop releasing open source because 💵💵💵💵💵💵💵💵.
So yeah I can have huge fines for downloading copyrighted material where I live, and they get to make money out of that same material without even releasing anything open source? Fuck no.
I would argue it's a security issue not to have any ad blocking. Many scams online start with popups or fake ads.
So if you get the opportunity to talk to IT that's what I would mention.
Publisher 360 I guess with some extra expensive cloud subscription.
Well yes, if you can afford to boycott airbnb clearly you could do so.
And AirBnB is all around the world so I'm sure there is plenty of illegal things to rent on Airbnb. They just look the other way.
Is it only pirate sites?
Because if we block worldwide pirate websites before terrorists ones that goes to show how powerful the copyright lobby is...
Makes pirated content look more important than terrorist sites.
