That’s interesting. I’d be a little concerned that widespread use of that might create more legal issues for Archive.org that wouldn’t be problems if it never caught on much. On that basis, I’d probably not use it.

But I’d imagine ideological opposition to such a thing wouldn’t be enough to keep it from catching on either.

I’ve got a smart TV on which the Wifi broke very shortly after I got it. I just use a Chromecast and it works nicely.

I know this is supposed to be humor, but if philosoraptor is trying to say AI is overhyped, I wholeheartedly agree.

I recently joined https://diode.zone . There’s not much content. We definitely need more content creators on PeerTube. But there is the odd gem here and there.

Did someone say pirate music sharing thread?

I Am A Pirate - Whitey Cracker

Warez Loader - Whitey Cracker

There ar enough legal gray areas still that it would take a lot of work to even figure out what “all digital piracy” even means. For instance, I don’t think it’s been tested in court yet whether the copying into RAM that your OS does when you run a program runs afoul of copyright.

Though, corporations routinely violate the terms of the GPL by distributing binaries without providing any way to get the source code. I’d say that qualifies as “digital piracy.” So I suppose if the government did try to stop all digital piracy, it wouldn’t be all bad.
