Piracy Is the number two community on Lemmy?
Does anyone else find it Odd that the number two community for Lemmy is piracy? It's not exactly a good image is it.... 😏
I mean here we are all privacy advocates fighting for the honest man's right to be private on the internet...and yet it kind of seems to validate the idea that the only people who want privacy have something scandalous to engage in 🥴
Anyone have anything to say for themselves? Or would it be true to say that the only people who want privacy online want to engage in things like pornography or stealing?

Power Loss but Still Online with Fiber Connection
Interesting experience, this has happened twice now. When house looses power I am still online now that I have moved to Fiber.
It feels a bit eerie. My network and computers, TV, media center, etc are all on UPS so they just keep going. Things just get really quite which is interrupted by just the periodic beeps of the UPS systems.
Does anyone know why my new Fiber connection does this but my old system which was bonded DSL did not? I know back in the early days of DSL I could do this, but some where along the way it stopped being power outage resistant.
Amazon blocks AI bots/crawlers from Facebook(Meta), Google, Huawei, Mistral and others, amid commerce battle
Amazon is desperately trying to stop AI companies from training models on its data. They just added six more AI-related crawlers to the blacklist from Facebook(Meta), Google, Huawei, Mistral and others. A month ago we saw that they added Claude, Perplexity and a different Google crawler.Some of those are to prevent access to Amazon at training, others to block features like deep research. The blacklist is in the publicly accessible robots.txt file. Assuming those crawlers are well-behaved, they will now stop accessing Amazon. It is notable that Amazon seems to be the only one actively fighting this - Walmart and eBay have not many any changes.
Amazon is a treasure trove of ecommerce data. I think it is too late to stop AI training - Amazon's data is already in the datasets ChatGPT and others are using. But Amazon is definitely not interested in helping anyone build the future of AI shopping. If that is indeed the future, Amazon wants to build it itself.

Replication of Quantum Factorisation Records with an 8-bit Home Computer, an Abacus, and a Dog
AbstractThis paper presents implementations that match and, where possible, exceed current quantum factorisation records using a VIC-20 8-bit home computer from 1981, an abacus, and a dog. We hope that this work will inspire future efforts to match any further quantum factorisation records, should they arise.

You do give a shit about fonts, you just don't give a shit about discussing font choices.
I assume that if the global choice was something like Papyrus, or Windings, you'd care.

in reply to WaffleWarrior • • •Sorry... are you talking about piracy or privacy? They're different things, you start off referring to piracy but most of your post is about privacy 😛
Anyways I've never considered Lemmy as a "privacy" platform so it's not really how or why I ended up here. Most Lemmy instances don't even allow Tor usage, some block VPN usage too, and most require an email to sign up and register. On top of that each Lemmy instance is going to be as private as the instance admin is willing to make it.
