  • Except that this change doesn’t lock us into age verification at all. On its own it’s harmless. There are still steps ahead before it’s actually difficult to evade. And sure, we are heading that way and it only makes sense to be prepared for the steps towards the next steps of age verification laws. It really isn’t magic to comply with these small steps, as long as they themselves don’t present a treat, be aware of the bigger picture and still do the work to prevent the actual OS-level age verification.








  • Wenn die enshittification kommt, ist man entsprechend ausgeliefert.

    Nein. Dann beendet man einfach das Abo und sucht einen anderen Weg.

    Ein digitales Album kriegt man üblicherweise auch für weniger als eine monatlich Spotify Rate.

    Ja, wenn man ausschließlich die Musik hören will, die man kaufen würde, und neue Musik entweder gar nicht oder über einen anderen Weg z.B. Radio oder Live-Musik findet, dann ist Musik-Streaming überflüssig. Wenn man rechtlich immer im Besitz der Musik sein möchte, dann ist Musik-Streaming nicht ausreichend. Wenn man hingegen darauf Wert legt, dass man an einem Ort über die Lieblingslieber hinaus eine breite Musik-Auswahl für den Zeitraum hat, dann macht Musik-Streaming Sinn. Genau so ist das mit Abos generell.

    Musik-Streaming muss nicht für jeden etwas sein. Es gab aber auch nie einen Zwang. Ihr könnt einfach Musik so konsumieren wie es für euch am besten passt. Dass man aufgrund ungerechter Vergütung, Menschen auf Alternativen aufmerksam machen will, checke ich. Aber Streaming vs Kauf ist einfach eine Präferenz.




  • I experience Lemmy as a reflection of many of the problems in the world

    You’ve said it yourself. It’s not unique to Lemmy. This is just a smaller platform with therefore more biases. You could keep trying and show new visitors with your viewpoints that they have a space here. E.g. Lemmy is slowly becoming less try-hard anarchistic. But honestly with your viewpoints, whether it’s about AI or strict immigration, I consider it too difficult and unrealistic currently.

    Yesterday someone was murdering their dog in public. I almost intervened, but thankfully they told me just in time that they’ve already squared that decision with their conscience. Phew, haha, that was close. Wouldn’t that have been embarrassing, if I pushed my ideology onto somebody who has already squared that decision with their conscience?

    What is considered film expertise today is a joke. This applies to all mediums, but especially in cinema you see it all the time that a person who has watched popular, top-rated Hollywood movies is considered very knowledgeable. Yeah, it doesn’t matter, especially in a private group, but it’s a cringing pain in the ass to listen to these people talk about movies.




  • One of the most interesting aspects about the Fediverse is also the most confusing one in practice: the communication across different platforms. E.g. the ability to communicate from Lemmy to Mastadon is incredible. However whenever that happens, it’s difficult to even realize that it’s happening. It could an extremely useful feature, but currently, at least on Lemmy, it’s just confusing.

    In Lemmy itself I’m annoyed by (too) many things, but mostly they are related to our behavior and stubbornness. Nonetheless, with all its faults overall Lemmy is still my “favorite” social media.
