      In Sweden pretty much anybody has Bank Id, an app which is connected to a bank account and which can function as a valid identification.

      App belongs a private company, but it’s still trustworthy and everybody can sign government docs with that.

      This is how you should do age verification, through a third party app, not like any site will get your id/picture to just end in their DBs ready to be stolen.

      Every government should create an app for the online id, I don’t get why this seems so hard to achieve.

      *so that the government can say kids won’t watch porn.

      Rule 1 of computers that everyone who has taught an ICT class learns - if little Timmy wants titties, he finds a way.

    Back to Piracy! ✊🏴‍☠️

    Really though? It isn’t necessary. Use Bandcamp, you probably have half your artists covered. The rest - one of those Spotify alternatives: Tidal? Qobuz?

    Personally I do selfhost btw. Jellyfin, though I heard of a better alternative specifically for music recently - and forgot the name again 😥 Something lowercase, like a verb… “normalize” or some such. Navidrome! Thanks @0konomiyaki@aussie.zone

    Let this be a reminder to never turn away from piracy. It needs to constantly be in the background and if any company gets like they always do, then it comes back out. But if we let the knowledge fade away then it’s impossible to rebuild it.

      Piracy preserves media.

      Piracy preserves art.

      Piracy makes sure, that future generations still have access to the creations of humanity.

      Data hoarding is a service to the public.
