  • The Pirate Bay is “technically” not breaking any laws

    As another user mentioned, TPB hosting magnet links and torrent files. Bring down TPB site down = no access to torrent files/magnet links = you can’t download the torrent (teoretically). Sharing link to TPB site does not break any laws and is totally legal.

    You don’t have to break laws to get in trouble if you are pissing off rich people. They’ll find something, anything, to nail you on. It’s totally ok for random normal people to not want to be “heroes” to a bunch of other random people they don’t know. Heroes attract villains, and instability. And while it’s just starting to get off the ground, lemmy doesn’t need villains or instability.

    Basically “Lorem ipsum”

    Let the smaller, less visible servers do the shady but “totally technically legal” stuff.

    So you do support piracy? Or not?

    Big servers with big targets on their forehead need to be stable and drama-free.

    “drama-free” lol. This is drama. This is drama that should not have happened in the first place.




  • What part is illegal? Are they sharing files on that instance and your instance re-hosts it?

    From my understanding, discussions are legal, guides are legal, tips are legal, but actual files (aka “copyrighted content”) is illegal. There are no files shared there, links at maximum, but institutions should be after those content-sharing websites, not forums.

    I am against this decision and I am happy that I am not part of admins team.







  • Arch is customizable, like legos. It’s neither minimalistic, neither lightweight. It gives you almost unlimited amount of legos and you build something. Bad at building - you fucked. Good at building - congrats.

    You don’t require to melt those bricks from plastic tho (gentoo) or rebuild an existing OS (Ubuntu).

    Also when you buy Arch Lego© set, you also get a great instructions on how to do it (arch wiki) + recommendations on how to order additional less-frequently used legos (AUR).

    That’s why I prefer Arch. 👌



  • Left after 2.5 months in a company, had 2 weeks annual leave before leaving on day 1 after returning.

    That’s IT job and it was in large multinational company. I won’t name the company, because it was team’s issue, not a company’s issue. Also the company moved out of the country so it’s in the past anyway.

    Basically manager was on power trip - think of “everyone sucks except me”, or “I don’t have time for this shit” sort of thinking. One moment “hey my best friend!!!” sort of behavior, another moment treats you like shit with almost being passive aggressive all the time. Few examples what happened:

    • “We’ve already agrees on this” and “we already discussed this” or “you need to understand what sort of answer you expect before asking”. These were the answers most of the time to my qiestions.
    • Can say “fuck you” in front of colleagues. Yet some of the colleagues tolerated it. 🤷
    • Blames you for a minor reason. Treats like shit.

    During the annual leave, when there was around week left, I started having annexiety/panic attacks. Wake up in the morning with high heart rate, stresses, that I have to returnt to work in several days. I realised that I have to leave this job, just fuck it.

    Luckily, through friends, I found another job few days later. It’s been MAJOR upgrade, felt amazing and valued.

    Fuck that ex-manager in particular. I know where he works now, and I will never apply to that company at the same time he works there. 🖕
