IIRC the French reactors are all nearing their end of service life and’ll be decommissioned soon.
What definition for piracy are your relying on?
The illegitimate procurement of media.
where did you source it?
My ass.
Does DMCA even have a definition for this?
Can’t help you there, I’m not American.
I’ve not argued any of those points. Just that not watching ads on YouTube is piracy.
In the UK, piracy isn’t a legally defined term, and the way that I would define piracy as the illegitimate procurement of media.
but TOS is often illegal anyway.
Piracy isn’t only a legal thing. It’s just dealt with through the legal system.
I’m not modifying any of the content
Sorry, I was wrong. You are however circumventing YouTube’s playing ads.
I’m a pedantic asshole.
You don’t have permission to modify any of the content YouTube sends you.

Section: Permissions and Restrictions Point 2
circumvent, disable, fraudulently engage, or otherwise interfere with the Service (or attempt to do any of these things), including security-related features or features that: (a) prevent or restrict the copying or other use of Content; or (b) limit the use of the Service or Content;
Piracy is sharing content that you don’t have the rights to share.
I’d classify watching something on piracysite.com as piracy.
I’d also class bypassing Netflix’s login requirements to watch their catalogue as piracy. But I guess that’s more a semantics thing.
Not saying you shouldn’t block ads, just questioning the OCs comment. If you don’t pay for the service monetarily or through data then imo it’s piracy.
Isn’t it? You’re not paying for a service / product.
If you look at every interaction with a Redhat developer in the context of them having KPIs / set work to do. The responses to non critical issues / MRs makes a lot more sense.
Not saying that it makes it any better tho.
IIRC some of the bigger banks / financial institutions use AI for fraud detections as well.
You keep saying waste, I would argue it’s a byproduct. Like whey from milk.

I’ve never felt this offended
That is beyond what most people should be expected to do and it is beyond what people have done historically
Going to a local market to buy fresh produce has been the norm throughout history. In the past century it has changed but for billions of people, buying what you need for that day is still the norm, I know I still do it.
Someone was testing a program they made that links Lemmy / Mastadon (ActivityPub) to other services, think threads or Reddit.
When they ran the program it created all the dummy accounts and published it to the Fediverse making it look like a lot of new users joined.
But only if the hot and cold lines get cross contaminated.
That sort of rhetoric always feels sexist to me. The implication is that trans women shouldn’t compete since those with XY chromosomes have some sort of superpower that means they’ll beat those with XX.
The quote “Trans women can compete in sports as long as they don’t win.” always stood out to me.
Are your monitors all the same resolution, refresh rate and size?
