Yeah I'd personally like to see more regulation and cases fighting for privacy rights instead, especially here in the US.

Google says pause ads on YouTube are getting a very positive reaction from advertisers

Bc screw the users and their reactions ๐Ÿ˜„.

We really need a good YouTube competitor. This is beyond ridiculous at this point.

I get the sense that most people on this platform get it. It's the people that would never even be on Lemmy to see this advice that I worry about. Those are the ones that need to keep seeing these posts and comments like yours.

We're talking about instances having feed content for other instances (on totally different domains), so anything helping with this case would be a "third party service".

Oh neat! I didn't know this existed. By any chance, do you know of any RSS readers that have implemented it?

You can use openrss.org RSS feeds. They are there for this exact purpose. For example, you can get an RSS feed of /c/[email protected] by going to https://openrss.org/programming.dev/c/[email protected]. Then all links in the feed will always go to the post on programming.dev instance.

So don't use RSS then? No one's trying to convince anyone to use RSS if they don't want to. I was just correcting the validity of the original statement.

Is there one for the other sites like bbc.com?

RSS has no adoption anymore

Not true. RSS feeds are the only thing I use these days and know quite a few others that do as well. Sure some sites may not have RSS feeds by default, but there are a ton of services that auto generate RSS feeds for you.

I love a friendly debate ๐Ÿ˜€:

The statement says How can you steal something that the customer cannot own?. You can definitely steal it if "you" aren't the customer. And you can steal it from a "customer" even if the customer doesn't own it and someone else does. And you can steal if even if you are the customer, because you aren't the owner. The only time you can't steal it is if you are the owner, because you own it.

The definition of "steal" you mention seems to be proving the point I'm making. Something can be stolen if the person stealing it isn't the owner, which is the case in the first three examples I mentioned above.

The statement is an odd play on words and loaded with assumptions that are left up to the reader, which is why it's super weird to use it to try to prove the point the author was trying to make.

if buying isn't owning, then piracy isn't stealing. How can you steal something that the customer cannot own?

By stealing it? You dont have to own something to steal it. Or maybe I'm reading that wrong. Lol it's a very interesting take but I like the spirit of it... And it made me laugh. Cool ๐Ÿ˜Ž

Right but can they really not do anything about RSS readers? Seems like they can just cut the cord on their RSS feeds anytime.
