You described equipment for pretty much climber. You don’t have shops every corner in the mountains and sleeping overnight happens sometimes due to bad weather. Sub zero temperatures are the norm in the mountains

Hmm, it’s strange grey area. Sometimes piracy is the only way to make the book not disappear. There are niche, low circulation books and magazines which without piracy would disappear and became almost unavailable.

Sometimes the book is no longer in the print because of many reasons:

1. Author changed her / his mind and no longer wishes to publish it, at least in the original edition / version.
2. Copyrights are being taken over and the final copyright owner ceases to republish it even when paid.
3. Copyrights owner doesn’t know that his the owner of some books and it leads to the legal limbo.
4. Low circulated books & magazines don’t survive until the copyrights expire - owners of the books die and their next heirs believe the books / magazines are just garbage and burn it or throw it away.

Ethics & piracy is pretty strange combination and there is no easy answer for it

I think it would be better to replace it with “fabricated on” date

Clearly written weight netto of the product and second weight ( it can be smaller caps ) the weight netto 1 year before for the same product

I think I2P will get a new wave of users willing to pirate stuff

Pretty much like the original reason why napster has been created. It could resume downloads which in the times of early internet explorer wasn’t that guaranteed

Millions flies cannot be mistaken. Democratic mob cannot be mistaken. Mobs have never lynched anybody. How ignorant you are in your ego with your “whining” argument

Yes, exactly my thoughts on this. Downvoting is only a measure of crowd censorship based on opinion popularity. If you see some trolls, just block them but don’t hide their posts for other ones who may think on that person views otherwise

It’s vice versa. In the old good times there was a saying “don’t feed the troll”. Just block him. Downvoting is just a cheap solution for people who cannot justify their argument. Btw, I love to read downvoted comments which are by default ‘hidden’. Most of them are trash but sometimes it’s a valid point but not the very popular one

Arguing with people complaining that everything is capitalism fault is pointless. Especially with people having definition “not their perfect ideal communism” equals capitalism. It’s just waste of my time. I’m done with politics and I know many communities where politics mean an immediate ban

Unfortunately, it’s not bullet proof solution. I still see multitude comments in technology communities about “it’s capitalism (greed)”. It’s an uphill battle to block it all. You can’t block whole instances like lemmy.world or lemmy.ml :-)
