Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What are some cool things to do on the "deep web" using tor browser?
1·2 years ago100% not true in the US.
Unlikely to be prosecuted or sued, but not true.
What country are you from?
WTO governs a lot of global copyright issues. I would be surprised the fair use exception allows you to download copyrighted content except for a few limited fair use purposes, ie education. And with very specific guidelines as to what qualifies as fair use.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What are some cool things to do on the "deep web" using tor browser?
1·2 years agoThat is certainly not true. It is illegal. It is often civil, but can be criminal copyright infringement based on specific criteria.

Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•Elon offers Wikipedia $ 1 billion to change their name to DickipediaEnglish
51·3 years agoThat isn’t quite right. If you stopped paying the bank would kick you out and sell the apartment to someone else, but if they get less than you owe them for it, they will also send you a bill for the remainder.
And then sue you to get that money.
Interestingly, if they get more than you owe them for it, they will cut you a check for the difference.
But you are actually wrong about how and what the order of operations is.
You are buying the house, the lender (bank) writes the check directly to the seller, and you sign a mortgage agreement for that much with the bank and they put a lien on your house. The bank does not own the house, you do. The bank owns a promissory note from you, backed by your personal wealth and credit and the value of the house (that they have a lien on).
In the case of Twitter, yes, Twitter itself is part of the collateral, but so was Elon musks personal wealth and Tesla shares.

Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•Elon offers Wikipedia $ 1 billion to change their name to DickipediaEnglish
21·3 years agoThat’s not how debt works, he almost certainly pledged assets and a personal guarantee against it. This is known as collateral.
The banks take the collateral when you stop paying.

Technology@lemmy.world•Reddit is killing blockchain-based Community PointsEnglish
101·3 years agoThey’re both fucking awful. The everything-is-hustle angle is garbage.
I don’t want people trying to figure out the optimal ratio of low but not too low effort posts to get paid turning everyone into a shill. Chasing karma was bad enough. People chasing money will be worse and less valuable.
Just like Twitter, when everyone is monetizing their posts everything will go to shit.

Technology@lemmy.world•Pressure grows on Apple to open up iMessageEnglish
23·3 years agoOr SMS should just die….
And how does RCS work without internet? It doesn’t work without connectivity to the cellular IMS. RCS only works on 4G and 5G. It doesn’t work on 2G/3G service which in the US is being phased out, but still exists in lots of places.

Technology@lemmy.world•Pressure grows on Apple to open up iMessageEnglish
22·3 years agoWorks over any internet eg wifi. You don’t need to have a subscription to anything at all to use iMessage.

Technology@lemmy.world•Pressure grows on Apple to open up iMessageEnglish
104·3 years agoBecause RCS is provisioned by the telcos and the telcos won’t let them.
Want end to end encryption, have to use Google Messages, not Samsung Messages, both RCS. How’s that for interop?
RCS is a mess and not the savior.

Technology@lemmy.world•Pressure grows on Apple to open up iMessageEnglish
42·3 years agoIt requires provisioning by your mobile carrier. iMessage doesn’t.
Anyone advocating for something that isn’t OTT has been living under a rock.

Technology@lemmy.world•Pressure grows on Apple to open up iMessageEnglish
6·3 years agoIt is controlled and monetizable by the telcos. It isn’t better. And it’s barely standardized. Google sells a service to telcos to implement RCS that doesn’t really work well with anyone else’s RCS, or didn’t.
Go look at the amount of threads with people saying “my RCS message from my Samsung didn’t get to my friend on T-Mobile with a pixel”.
This is not the future anyone deserves.

Technology@lemmy.world•Samsung joins Google in RCS shaming AppleEnglish
1·3 years agoI guess. I’m American and interact with plenty of friends via discord, instagram and others. My friend group has a private discord and I use DMs instead of iMessage all the time.
Yeah… but fuck that rapist, fascist creep.
