@f13rf3k @X00001 I can see people not wanting to publicly declare piracy as something they do in the modern era. That said, online piracy never went away; it's kept being a thing all this time, and I can imagine more folks turning back to it over this particular issue.

The question then becomes whether pirating Disney content "counts" as boycotting as you're still a Disney consumer, albeit unpaid, still letting them into your heart and mind. Something for each individual to decide.

Someone said the "cancel your Disney subscriptions" movement wouldn't succeed with the Star Wars and Marvel fans.

I can't stop thinking about real oligarchs and nazis staying in power because actual oppressed people love stories the real oligarchs and nazis control about imaginary oppressed people defeating imaginary oligarchs and nazis so much that they won't stop giving the real oligarchs and nazis money for them.

I'm so old, I remember when online was the place to escape from the dumbass shit going on in the world.

Some of you protesting are far too into publicly posting identifiable pics and videos of folks in protest crowds without good reason.

If you brought a camera to the protest point it at the authorities, not your compatriots. Document and publicize incidents of abuse, but don't facilitate your fellow protestors being identified and punished for showing up. Assume every face you post will be recognized and catalogued. They're not there to be your photo op.

@mcnado The imagery of our roads and infrastructure crumbled from unwelcome military hardware going where it doesn't belong is going to be a lasting symbol and legacy of this period in our history.

Everyone take lots of photos and videos.

@fesshole While I'm sorry you're going through that and hope you get the proper help you need, as a former retail worker I'll thank you not to assign responsibilities to your local retail workers which are, for many good reasons, not their fucking job.

Hi! I'm Rob Vincent, also known as Rob T Firefly. I'm a hacker, artist, writer, performer, activist, engineer, comedian, and general-purpose nerd. I've been using Fedi since 2018. I'm part of the @2600 radio show @OffTheHook on #WBAI FM, and https://modern.technology is where I make original podcasts with my epic wife @gilahava704.

My forever home is https://RobVincent.net which is where I keep some grievously-outdated portfolios and a very dusty blog.

Hooray!
