Absolutely. It’s a testament to what people that care can do.

I love it here.

NGL, I got permabaned there in October… just 2 weeks shy of 15 years… Found old.lemmy.zip, fell in and fell in love.

Haven’t missed Reddit at all.

…c/amputeesPeeingOnFabrigeEggs…

LOL! Okay. I’m in, just for the weirdo factor…

Well!

Accidents happen… Yup.

Just like when Demonoid finally went down after Deimos died in an accident in 2018. Some of the other admins tried to keep it up but the community spirt there died with his death.

Happens.

…get along with banks that would normally turn their nose up to a literal porn site…

Ohhhh, banks and big corporations have quietly had their fingers in Adult Entertainment for decades.

One of my favorite gay porn actors - who was also a phenomenally proportioned model, which was how I first discovered him - gave many interviews while he was in the business and he often stated that the public would be surprised by who the backers and investors in a lot of the studios and sites really were. Big business and finance.

Could be… but that would be a stretch, as the suit is aimed at the ripping apps. Mostly would fall under the Sony Betamax decision of “fair use” when it aplies to either “time shifting” or as in the case of the reaction videos - editorial commentary.

…So you don’t “rip” the video, you point your camera at the display and record the segment you want to use for commentary or critique, leaving a section of the display bezel in the shot so it is beyond reproach. If the use of a specific technology is the issue, go old school. A pain in the ass, definitely, but not a rip that can be sanctioned.

TY!

The fact that Anna’s Archive isn’t responding to the court tells me they couldn’t give a shit about the lawsuit.

Glorious.

NGL, I too am ready to jump back onto listservs. I used to have several e-groups that got bought by Yahoo then mothballed years later. Still pissed off about that.

Then again, I cut the cord for cable TV in 1999 when I got cable internet, and never looked back.

Hmmmm. Wonky events like this are part of why I’m glad I’ve always kept plain text hard copies of every key and password I’ve used.

Shit’s a nightmare when you get shut out of your stuff…

Good on you that you sorted it all.

That’s a beautiful shot. The colors are amazing… No adjustments - the stinkhorn really is that shade?

Nice!
