More corporations with zero responsibility and way too much fucking power. We need regulators with teeth and we need to remove the legal hand of business from the pockets of our legislatures. I can't believe someone actually burned down Studio Ghibli HQ before Citizen's United was. Wtf.

MODERATORS
The people who are smart enough to understand that corporations need restraint are also smart enough to know that burning a single building down will do nothing but give that company an insurance check. It needs to be the people who are in the c-suite, on the board, the consulting firms, etc. it has to happen overnight and with all of them.
Are we talking about revolution?

Fuck spez
Fuck reddit
Spez will happily give it if it'll increase his future IPO
I believe that the following IP ranges
- 103.231.144.0/24
- 192.31.196.0/24
- 216.176.216.0/21
- 199.248.239.0/24
- 192.198.30.0/24
- 69.12.98.42
are engaged in highly suspicious activities
furthermore I can definitely say that I found some dirty pirates hiding at the following ip ranges:
- 175.45.176.0/24
- 175.45.177.0/24
- 175.45.178.0/24
- 175.45.179.0/24
my research clearly shows proof that those people are not just pirates but also engaged in highly illegal activities such as stealing BILLIONS of dollars and hacking who knows how many servers, and that's only the crimes one can talk about online.
if you don't get the joke
no, I didn't share IPs that anyone here would ever have, I guarantee it, if you don't get the joke look up "bogon routes" and then look up which ASN owns the other set.
It looks more legit than people who use 192.168.0.0/16, 8.8.8.8, 127.0.0.1, or any other things like that because most people don't know about those.
Also bonus info:
here's a tip for you, if you're a sysadmin just go ahead and ban those IP ranges on your machines, if you ever get packets from them it's an attack 99.999999% of the time (I guess unless you have customers in north korea? in which case only block the first ones and all other bogon routes)

I've noticed reddit has recently started shadowbanning my posts when I have a vpn active so I'd say at this point it's probably completely unsafe to discuss anything on.
Absolutely. That and the recent vpn blocking changes has made using reddit absolutely unbearable.

It's reddit, so I'd be surprised if they don't cave.
Man that place. I know it's cliche to talk about it like talking about your ex on a date, but I posted there for good reason.
I found the solution to a rare bug that was bothering a group of people. I posted the solution, and my account was immediately banned sitewide for violating the terms of service, whatever that means.
I thought to myself: yeah... it was a mistake coming here. Leave it to the bots to have conversations with themselves.
What was the bug out of curiosity
It was a solution to a Lutris bug. Basically, flatpak containers can use these things called portals to gain access to specific files and directories via a file chooser rather than broad access or manually assigned access.
In this case, my wine installation was crashing because some part of it was trying to obtain a lock on a directory object, which is an unsupported feature when accessing a directory through a portal. The error message is something completely unrelated like can't draw window with a string of hex values. It took me a few hours to track down the real root cause.
Oh well. Works on my machine. Also, there's a fix on the development branch now. I made a write-up, posted it, and it's all gone. I should have known better honestly. It works great for some people but anybody can arbitrarily receive unfair treatment with no recourse at any time. I'm satisfied knowing that eventually the fix will get out to everybody eventually. It's just a shame I couldn't leave a signpost behind.
Post to lutris lemmy instead
Oof that sucks, well good to know it's fixed and life moves on
"Why should I care about their privacy policy?" If Reddit doesn't store this info then they can't give it to the film studios.
It would be great if piracy instances were hosted on I2P and TOR. Then these chucklefucks would have nothing.

I thought this was already decided by a court in autumn 2023. Is this an appeal?
As far as I understand it, the studios are trying a different angle: They are not suing Reddit this time, but an ISP and want Reddit to provide the data of costumers of that ISP.

Then provide better streaming options including price and service. Piracy will always win whether they like it or not.
I'm surprised Netflix is still around at their price rate and the way they keep canceling shows. I jumped on the BF deal for Peacock, because I wasn't gonna pay the full price.
I only have Peacock for WWE, so everything is a bonus. But not everybody is gonna pay for 7 services monthly or yearly. Either put it all under one service or understand some of us are gonna pirate.
Amazon prime is gonna start having ads this month, so people are gonna have to pay more for ad free on top of prime membership or pirate to avoid ads. Before we know, they'll start putting ads in games while they load.

tl;dr: The users' comments say that a certain ISP is pirate-friendly. Studios want to use the comments against the ISP (not the users).
They asking it again? Fuck man we dont even have the right to openly discussed it.

Sure... here's mine...
🖕.💩.🍆.🍑
Is it possible a film studio, or legal agency, could set up a Lemmy Instance and then capture all our IPs?
AP protocol doesn't propagate your IP
Absolutely. One of the biggest child porn groups is an FBI front for this purpose. I’d google the subject for a link but umm…no
So basically the only thing protecting our anonymity is the relative unpopularity of Lemmy?
To expand on this. If you are talking about anything online it is not private. That doesn't matter if it's in a WhatsApp chat, a telegram chat, a Lemmy post, a Facebook feed, etc. as soon as it hits a computer if someone wants to see it they will. There's just hurdles to get it.
If you want anonymity stop using computers.
Ain’t this the truth.

Yup. About 7 years ago I used to darkweb pretty hard in the drug scene (I haven’t in years so have at it, Mr. FBI).
Anyway I used Reddit subs a lot for info on new markets and onions, reliable sellers, and news on exit scams etc, but I only lurked - never commented. Anyone with a brain in their head knew they were honeypots.

Pirates: “I’m 4 dimensions ahead of you.”
This is the best summary I could come up with:
For the third time in less than a year, film studios with copyright infringement complaints against a cable Internet provider are trying to force Reddit to share information about users who have discussed piracy on the site.
In the first instance, US Magistrate Judge Laurel Beeler ruled in the US District Court for the Northern District of California that the First Amendment right to anonymous speech meant Reddit didn’t have to disclose the names, email addresses, and other account registration information for nine Reddit users.
Film companies, including Bodyguard Productions and Millennium Media, had subpoenaed Reddit in relation to a patent infringement lawsuit against Astound Broadband-owned RCN about subscribers allegedly pirating 34 movie titles, including Hellboy (2019), Rambo V: Last Blood, and Tesla.
In her ruling, Beeler noted that while the First Amendment right to anonymous speech is not absolute, the film producers had already received the names of 118 Grande subscribers.
She also said the film producers had failed to prove that “the identifying information is directly or materially relevant or unavailable from another source.”
This week, as reported by TorrentFreak, film companies Voltage Holdings, which are part of the previous two subpoenas, and Screen Media Ventures, another film studio with litigation against RCN, filed a motion to compel [PDF] Reddit to respond to the subpoena in the US District Court for the Northern District of California.
The original article contains 588 words, the summary contains 228 words. Saved 61%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
So, okay.
Let's say these film studios DO get 'permission' or 'access' of these IPs. Haven't we already proven in the court of law that IP Address does not equal a person? How come that is? Well, it's because people can hide under VPNs, they could use proxies, they could use open wi-fi, they can change their address by ISP request .etc
They aren't assigned permanent IPs and they aren't tied to their IPs through identity.
This whole effort is just a waste of their time, proving once again, that they're desperate for anything.
On the other hand, the r/piracy subreddit is full of entitled jackasses who pick you apart for stupid arbitrary reasons. I've posted news posts on there before as a means to inform the pirating community as to what to look for in case things could go wrong in the future, as a lead. And any time, people kept commenting like "WHUT DUS DIS HAVE TU DU WITH PIWACY?!" every fucking time.
I'd spell it out for them, I get downvoted, I get my post reported and it's removed. Seriously, fuck all of those e-begging pieces of shit.

Fortunately for me, I'm too old to know how to pirate even if I wanted to do so.
However, I'm sure the fine people at Broderbund would like to have a long conversation with me from way, way back in the day.
Choplifter and Karateka took up hours and hours and hours of my elementary/middle school years.
