"Piracy can't be stealing if paying for it isn't owning"
This is increasingly how it feels, when streaming shows disappear for tax reasons and things you "own" digitally become inaccessible.
Thank you @Illuminatus for this quote.

The deplatforming question is an interesting question to me. If we set aside legitimate targetted harassment, intimidation and threats, I cannot work out good first principles for deplatforming on social media. For one, if you don't like what someone is saying, you can just ignore them, block them, dont follow them or whatever. Deplatforming is only done to limit other peoples access to a certain individuals ideas. In the case of children I could understand having parental controls on what ideas they come into contact with since they are not yet mature in their thinking. But for adults I can't come up with a non-paternalistic reason why I should be allowed to limit what other people see online and I also don't trust other people to make these types of decisions for me.
I’m thinking of trying to learn piano again.
I played piano, sax and violin at different times when I was younger but hated practicing because I’d get embarrassed when my mom came to listen.
Maybe I can actually learn and practice some so I can play something nice for her this time
Just finished playing SIGNALIS. Probably one of the first times I took significant interest in a games world lore. Despite being short I would recommend it to any old school survival horror fans or lovecraft enthusiasts.
Fantastic atmosphere as well

Something that people don't seem to appreciate is that unless we get justice for the creation and leaking of COVID, it'll happen again. Why wouldn't it? It was so incredibly profitable, for pharma and "essential businesses".
All the evidence is there. It's like catching a serial killer and they say "well the victim is already dead, so what difference does it make at this point to lock me up? It's just more suffering." So the police agree and let them go, then later suprisedpikachu.jpg
I'd think the notion of "the next COVID" would motivate people, but truth and confronting powerful interests makes them uncomfortable.

please stop using discord for anything.
there's a (free! and open source!) federated option that is far better (sure, nothing is perfect).
if you hate what's happened to musksite and came to fediverse, you _should_ move your discord communities/activities to a federated alternative.
many clients, some choice of server software, federation, and, most importantly, nodes/instances with their own rules.
