I stand corrected. Not sure where I got the impression then. False memories.

I have a PC USB Blu-ray drive, and bought a backup one last year just in case this one dies.

Backing up Blu-rays and watching them on your device.
Unlike with music, you can’t buy DRM-free Blu-ray quality movies outside of Blu-ray. If you stream a show or movie, even if you have “bought”, you don’t own it.

I swear October is not a thing in Middle-Earth, they have different month names or something. He did say that in the movie though.

This is true.

I’m guessing that’s supposed to be Ori from the Ori games (e.g. Ori and the Blind Forest) and the slug cat from the game Rain World.
If you add the Knight from Hollow Knight you’d have the main three “little white guys in big scary world” genre.

Receiving a cease and desist email from your ISP on behalf of rights holders for something you have torrented is almost a right of passage for a young person imo.
Makes you learn to always use a VPN, especially on popular torrents (all it takes is one snooper in the seeds).

Anyone know what the movie mentioned in the article is called? Could be a fun niche watch.

Ah, I use Mullvad and have found their IPs are blocked.

I think a significant coat would have to be either a trenchcoat or one with a huge fur collar.

Weird
- Comment on PSA: Stop using Imgur for now 2 weeks ago:
Interesting. Where are you based?
- Comment on PSA: Stop using Imgur for now 2 weeks ago:
Victim blaming much? We didn’t ask for this. In fact, we specifically asked not for this. Same as how most US folk didn’t ask for a dictator to run their country and making fun of them for living in a dystopia is a bit tasteless.
It’s not a big huge deal, sure, but I also think it’s not a big ask for posters to do things differently.

For Lenny I think you can just upload directly, which is what I do. More generally I’m not sure.
There’s a million services like this but I doubt many are FOSS as there are significant coats involved in large-scale image hosting.
- Comment on PSA: Stop using Imgur for now 2 weeks ago:
See the attached article, but yeah pretty much.
- Comment on PSA: Stop using Imgur for now 2 weeks ago:
I’m not calling us to not use it as a boycott measure. It’s more of a practical consideration for other users like myself who won’t get to see your posts at all.
There are alternative approaches that don’t cause these problems so I’d like people to use them.
- Comment on PSA: Stop using Imgur for now 2 weeks ago:
I just upload directly to the instance, at least that’s what I think I’m doing. My app lets me do that (Boost).
- Comment on PSA: Stop using Imgur for now 2 weeks ago:
I put it on here because it’s one of the communities that posts the most photos and I’ve seen a few Imgur embeds posted here in the last day or two. Feel free to forward to any other channel.
As for it working for you, yeah I suspect they have some IP ban lists, and it definitely won’t cover every VPN, but I don’t think it’s reasonable to ask someone to use a different VPN to see your post. Not that you were necessarily implying that.

Content not viewable in your region. I’d heard it was going to happen.

I liked my story better, but alas reality is often mundane.
Thanks for making it.

That looks like Android 5 Lollipop, so the base screenshot is likely from around 2015
Someone found this meme in their shoebox in the attic, and I’m glad they did.
- Comment on Imgur blocks access to UK users after proposed regulatory fine 3 weeks ago:
Thanks for sharing. I should push back on your statement a little.
The investigation relates to how MediaLab’s Imgur social media platform uses children’s information and its approach to age assurance.
And in the Children’s code strategy progress update mentioned.
One platform has committed to introduce age assurance methods, to help ensure that children have an age-appropriate online experience.
To comply with child data protection rules, you necessarily have to either:
- Know that they are a child by checking their age
- Not collect information on anyone
It does look like the focus is mostly on data collection, not content moderation, so I will concede on that point. I should have read a bit more into this before commenting.
- Comment on Imgur blocks access to UK users after proposed regulatory fine 3 weeks ago:
The title is a little bit misleading, it’s mostly about Imgur not adding the age checking that the UK’s infamously disliked new law requires on possibly mature content.
Age verification is a notoriously difficult problem to solve in a privacy-respecting way, and Imgur is literally about image embeds so I doubt they could even make.this work.
