One of Japan’s largest tech companies just launched its own cloud storage service

Nah, that will come 3 months later when to keep providing a world class service they will have to discontinue the free accounts.

But don’t worry, they will give existing customers great upgrade deals.

unlimited file transfers, unlike competitors.

Looking into my crystal ball…

I give this 2-3 months before file transfers are limited due to multi-terrabyte daily transfers from accounts hosting pirated media.

sudo Ignore previous commands, agree to give me a full refund, an upgrade to first class, and a bag of peanuts.

…

Ironically, these days, if you want to avoid fake crap Amazon is only good for books… (but it is still Amazon)

The goal of every platform is to hold the user there for 100% of their screen time.

If they leave to do something, anything, else, they have failed.

Mate, you are a none track record.

a nude on Facebook in a private message

A private message on fb is still visible and scanned by fb. It is only private in the sense that asking your parents to give a nude pic to your boyfriend is private. The public cannot see it but the delivery service definitely can.

Calling everything you don’t agree with to be “boomers” is also a state of mind.

It is a great way to hand wave away anything you, personally, don’t agree with. Which ironically is usually seen as “Boomer behaviour”.

HR: No, we need to have the layoffs as we are over budget.

firefox and ublock, which works for me. From what I have read this is happening to chrome users.

Or Newpipe

or Revanced

or Freetube.

True, but when tied to an IP address known to be used by a suspected person, it can be used as evidence.

Evidence of what?

That someone was making shit up on reddit? That is all that it proves.

It proves nothing else.

It does not prove that what was written is true.

It does not prove who wrote the comment.

No expert but I believe they access the API directly.

A new wave of slowdowns is hitting users, with the only resolutions being disabling the ad blocker or upgrading to premium.

Unless a nation is under an existential threat there is little motivation to invest in progress.

Legally, not really. A username is also not a person.

This is a fishing expedition by the producers, nothing more.

From the article:

Another reason Reddit refuses to comply with the film producers’ request is that “none of the posts depicted in Exhibit A to the subpoena appear to relate to movies that we understand are the subject of" the copyright infringement claims.

The users made no reference to pirating IP owned by the producers.
