I made up that speed just to give an example. The thing about pausing/resuming is an advantage of torrents in general, for whoever needs it. Besides, when you download a file via DDL the speed also depends on the server thats sending, which is sometimes much slower than your download speed limit.

I think its a fair assumption that most people make that whatever data which isnt explicitly displayed to a regular user is not public. Having likes be public but hidden is misleading.

Assuming people use a vpn is a bit of a stretch. I dont know anyone that does that constantly.

Problems would exist in any system, but not the same problems. Each system has its set of problems and challenges. Just look at history, problems change. Of course you can find analogies between problems, but their nature changes with our systems. Hunger, child mortality, pollution, having no free time, war, censorship, mass surveilence,… these are not constant through history. They happen more or less depending on the social systems in place, which vary constantly.

Tbf you only mentioned the permissions, but ok

This is still a bit of a nightmare. This being illegal will prevent people from showing the recordings publicly, but if they record for private use, no one would prevent them, or even know…

You download from a bunch of other people at the same time. So if you have a 300mb/s connection and 5 people have the file and are uploading at 20mb/s, it gets a chunk of the file fron each of them, so you would download at 100mb/s.

Besides, you can pause and resume the download as much as you want without corrupting the file. So if youre dowloading a 50gb folder, you can turn your pc off, and continue later. With DDLs, the download link expires and most browsers cant resume downloads properly. Plus if the browser corrupts the download you have to start over. The torrent uses checksums to detect corrupted parts of the file and redownloads just that small part, and in the end you get a clean file.

Did you enable the plugin called expose filesystem?

My point is about how people trust new types of food. Knowing the name of the compounds in a food doesnt help in making someone trust it. People trust alimentary habits that are centuries old more than a newly developed method that they have no familiarity with. Im talking about trust on safety regulations rather than the actual regulations.

How would you feel if a foreign power invaded your country to spy and destabilize your government and economy under the pretext of a supposed war on drugs, using what is evidently the wrong tools and methods for the supposed job?

The world would be much worse if everybody just surrendered everything all the time

I guess killing everybody would work too :)

A scientist telling you the name of every compound of some food doesnt make you actually know whats in it. Theres a big difference between knowing the name and knowing the thing and how it affects your body.

Call it something else, rebrand it. We could say that if it didnt come from an animal, its not meat, its just a protein cake or a red pudding, or something. Could it avoid the ban this way?

They didnt ban any vegan protein source, they banned the exact one that tries to make you feel like youre eating beef. The name “Lab-grown meat” tells those ranchers that it wants to replace them, its unnecessarily aggressive, which innevitably creates a reaction.

You have to show the dog loaf now… Ive never seen one

Yeah, 200 is a bit ridiculous

The free tier still exists. Soon it will be infested with ads. But they will only make this shift after getting enough people hooked.

I dont hope to find a secure email platform anymore. If i have some info i want to protect i can encrypt it myself before sending, or send it via some secure instant messaging like signal. Email is too hard to make secure, and in he end of the day, the other person youre talking to probably has a gmail or something. Its not worth the hassle imo. There are other ways to have secure communication, outside emails.

I guess they mostly scrape it. To waste resources posting here they have to find a way to make money in doing so. They put bots posting on facebook because they think it increases user engagement. They dont want to increase engagement on lemmy (not that it would work…).

Me? The marginalisation of a group depends on my personal conceptions???

Society marginalises groups, not a single person. Its a cultural phenomenon that affects these groups whether we like it or not.
