But the Butthole Surfers said, "It's better to regret something you did than something you didn't do"

Seems like that'd fly.

From the link in that comment:

You can link to websites pages related to piracy. Linking to websites linking to your content (not with a 301 redirect, before you ask) is OK. In general try to keep one degree of separation between our collective groins and your links.

Have to say it's the right call. It's common enough that software (jdownloader2 comes to mind) will do the conversion automatically. it'd be super trivial for a bot crawling for DMCA links to add that functionality at some point.

That subreddit sucks.

Replying just to echo this sentiment.

I swear I see you trolling every single thread on here. Find a real hobby.

Must depend on the search. I just checked, and the links were still there same as always.

I've tinkered with a Discord bot using the official gpt3.5 API. It's astonishingly cheap. Using the 3.5-turbo model, I've never cracked $1 in a month and usually am just a couple cents a week. Obviously this would be different if you're running a business with it or something, but for personal use like answering questions, writing short blurbs, and entertaining us while drunk...it's not bad at all in my experience.

Now what is Google going to do with YouTube?

Run even more ads in the non-premium version, I'd wager.

I haven't seen ads in years (thanks ublock origin), but the wiki fandom pages are by far the absolute worst when it comes to the cookie consent pop up

If you're already using uBlock Origin, you can add a list called EasyList Cookie under Filters > Annoyances and also not see most cookie consent popups for years.

If you honestly would personally go to jail rather than comply with a warrant, that speaks pretty highly to your credit, but I don't think most people would find Facebook to be particularly culpable here.

This would be more compelling point if FB were a person capable of going to jail and/or did not have a history of taking the user-hostile side of privacy situations, regardless of whether the law agreed with them.

That isn't the default setting though, and it's unfortunate that the people involved here weren't aware of it.

This right here is why I personally believe FB deserves and flak they get from this situation. They could avoid the whole conversation about whether they should turn over the conversations if they made it so they couldn't. They've chosen their data mine over user privacy, and people are right to judge them accordingly.

Tech/programming stuff is exactly why I did nuke mine. Going isn't as meaningful if you leave a bunch of value behind when you do. While I'm here for entertainment now, I'm often spending my reddit time during work hours on vendor-hosted support forums, stackexchange, etc. now.

Gradually, that library will be relocated to other places. Instead of just not going, I think it's better to take away others' reasons for going too, give them reason to seek out better libraries.
