euAppleHater@feddit.org 2 weeks agoWait, do you have an issue with piracy in general or an issue with the arr attack specifically? No judgement or interest in argument, just genuinely curious. Feel free to dm if you don’t want to start a whole thing, or beat your tin pan as you said, in an unrelated post.

I don’t mind stating here: Piracy in general. I don’t condemn those who do because, as I’ve said, you are autonomous adults capable of making your own decisions. You know the risks and you take steps to mitigate those risks. You and I, have both heard all the pros and cons and all the supporting arguments of both sides. Now, I know there are lots of people who rip and catalog their own DVD, CDs, etc. All fine and dandy.
The comparison was that every time AI is used here in this comm, or even suspected of use, people have a conniption and start piling on. Like moths to a flame. What does that accomplish? Nothing. It seems to just make those who are anti-AI feel superior, is about all I can get from it. To me, it’s just a tool. I’ll grant you it’s a tool that needs some heavy regulation, even as much as I chafe against regulation. It is necessary. AI isn’t going away. It’s not a fad. It’s here to stay. If using AI makes your blood boil, fine. Don’t. Although I foresee a time where you’ll use AI and not even know it.
Opinions are great too. I, like others, have a long list of them. Stating your opinions is fine too. It seems here tho, opinions turn into castigation and denigration, which is in direct violation of ‘Rule 1: Be civil: we’re here to support and learn from one another.’ State your opinion on AI: ‘I’d rather guide my pops into my mum before I’d use AI’. Then move on. Personally, I don’t state my opinion on the arr stack, because it would accomplish nothing and in the long run become tedious and obnoxious.
As far as the arr stack as software, I’ve never deployed it, but it is pretty darn amazing from what I’ve read. The dev teams that have put it all together have some knowledge to say the least. It’s just not my bag.

Ahk I see, thanks for the explanation. I assumed it was a general issue with piracy, but was wondering if maybe I had missed something negative about the software specially or the contributors behind it or something.

IMHO, we can all co-exist under the selfhosting umbrella
