I have already addressed that in my original comment.
Go to a store.
Just because you wanted to inspect people’s creations in a way that suites you better doesn’t make banning piracy fundamentally immoral.
the discussion ends here.
Sounds great. It’s honestly no use arguing with idiots.
“I really don’t understand why people think they have a moral right to other people’s creations.”
That’s a straw man fallacy. That statement removes all the always important context you just alluded to, a statement which was never claimed.
In the articles this is being claimed:
Free dissemination of knowledge that benefits the advancement of mankind should never be illegal. In fact, Z-Library being illegal is immoral.
You say that it’s immoral that Z-Library is illegal. The purpose of Z-Library is arguably to provide people with copyrighted content for free. I.E Other people’s creations.
Please tell me what important context I’m missing. To me it honestly just seems like you want someone else’s stuff for free and are just brining up morally in a misguided way to achieve that. Wanting free shit is great, I support that. Pirate all you want. But it isn’t about morality.
P.S. isn’t bringing up the straw man fallacy a straw man fallacy itself? Some people have started to say that every argument they disagree with is essentially a straw man fallacy.
That’s true but in the context it puts a very bad taste in my mouth.
I really don’t understand why people think they have a moral right to other people’s creations.
Lol
Free dissemination of knowledge that benefits the advancement of mankind should never be illegal. In fact, Z-Library being illegal is immoral. That being said, I simply use Z-Library to inspect books before purchasing them. Translations from different authors are often remarkably different. Sometimes books have horrible layout. So yeah, Z-Library has been indispensable to avoid wasting money. Case in point, part of the first paragraph of Dostoevsky’s House of the Dead, the Dover versus Penguin edition
If z library only contained actual knowledge sure, but it seems to be primarily fiction. But no it’s immoral because the author likes to save money and not go to a physical store.
I like piracy too but saying that banning piracy is immoral and comparing it to apartheid, slavery and ccolonialism is just ridiculous.

Yeah, mate. I sure wish they did.
I played at launch (and after of course) I can’t recall that the driving was that bad on the keyboard. Maybe I’m just very used to driving with a keyboard but I didn’t really have any complaints even if it wasn’t exactly perfect.
Yes, and YAML is a war crime.
Can’t you vote at an embassy or consulate?
Vote in person then 🤷
Here it’s only possible to mail vote from abroad and I have never done it but it doesn’t appear that you get a confirmation here either.
If we are talking about registers of who voted and not for whom. Why does it matter? Who voted isn’t secret at all. So why even bring that up? For the record I voted in the most recent EU and national elections.
I’m so happy that doing taxes takes a minute for me. I did it on my phone while waiting for the train. I couldn’t stand the tax system you guys got.
Lucky you. I need medication to function at all.
Why would the government know your voting history? Isn’t voting anonymous where you live?
No idea what a tax id is but in Sweden everyone’s home address, income, phone number, “personnummer” (a unique ID assigned to every citizen), and some other stuff. And for the most part it works pretty well. I’m usually concerned about privacy but I don’t mind this because it applies to everyone equally (except a few people with protected identity for safety reasons) and it’s just so open and convenient.
I’m not saying that all government documents should be public information but here most documents are.
What would that world look like?
Imo the current world works pretty well as long as I can get medication which I do.
It’s more like incompetent management. Developers haven’t suddenly gotten worse if they are given less resources and time for the tasks assigned to them.
The only reason that I have measured my server is that it has that feature built into the iDRAC. I have been thinking of buying an external power meter for years but have never bothered to do that.
Luckily I got my server for free from work. It was part of an old SAN so it came with 4 dual 16 Gbit fiber channel cards and 2 dual 10 gigabit ethernet cards. Before I took those out of the server it consumed around 150 watts at idle which is crazy.
You can do regular code blocks in Slack? I thought you only could do inline or in snippets.
We luckily use both at work.
Yeah server hardware isn’t the most efficient if you want to save power. It’s probably better to get a NUC or something.
With that said my old Dell PowerEdge R730 only uses around 84 watt (running around 5 VMs that are doing pretty much nothing) The server runs Proxmox and has 128 GB of ram, two Xeon E5-2667 v4 CPUs, 4 old used 1 TB HDDs I bought for cheap, and 4 old used 128 GB SATA SSDs I also bought for cheap (all storage is 2,5 drives).
All I had to do was change a few BIOS settings to prioritize efficiency over performance. 84 watts is obviously still not great but it’s not that bad.
Yeah, maybe Parsec.
Teams isn’t intended for streaming video games, it’s for meetings.
Have you used teams for sending code recently?
I tested it last week and it worked pretty well and even featured syntax highlighting. From the very limited one time test I actually prefer the way teams handle code since it doesn’t force you to use some kind of snippet.
Teams is also supposed to get better formatting and chats fairly soon. I will continue to use slack because I prefer it but it’s nice that teams is at least getting better.
Luckily, wildcard certs are insecure and should be avoided.
