How do you mean they are spamming?

Mint is a good alterative. It has an xfce edition.

Mail carriers are not idiots, they just discard the thing as trash since its obviously not an envelope... Business reply mail will only ever be paper letters, so what you actually want to do is just send whatever it is back to them with useless information or if its an actual envelope you can stuff it with glitter or shred the paper inside, its still technically "improper use" but they won't know that until its at the destination.

Most likely you lose your home if you can't pay for it due to being in jail, however having a home with a mortgage and a job that pays enough and a history of paying, will all generally work in a defendants favor in terms of getting out on bail. If the court can trust you enough to be on house arrest then that's usually better for everyone.

They have some kind of revenue sharing in place but I doubt it pays much seeing as the company is bleeding money and advertisers want nothing to do with it.

4k77, 4k80, and 4k83 are the names given to the fan attempt to digitize the original 35mm film reel verisons of the star wars trilogy.

DMCA applies to all ISPs in the US, Google will forward notices just like any other isp. In theory they could ban you per terms of service, in practice they probably won't bother.

A VPN is $5 a month, and you'll never have to worry about even getting the notices, but I'm sure you already knew that.

PDA was probably the most common during the 90s and I think until iPhones and android, black berry phones were considered PDAs.

A lot of stuff in the 80s/90s used the suffix "dex" (after rolodex) so I could also picture something like "mobidex" or "pocket dex". Or there was netbooks so we might just call them netdex...

What insurance company is dumb enough to insure NFTs?

Pullpush is an alternative and free API for reddit, this threat/ban is based on the assumption that pullpush is using the official reddit API, and I guess that its using it exclusively through a single reddit account which they just banned.

It has to do with lawyers because they are trying to make a vague legal threat i guess, Youtube made a similar demand of invidious and sent a C&D to them for violating ToS of the Youtube API which they do not use.. So I dont think the lack of lawyers is the issue so much as lack of competent engineers who could explain to the lawyers that one does not need to use API to get content from a public website which requires no login to see contents.

Now might be a great time to join the Fediverse alternative FunkWhale. I've already built up a collection of nearly 10,000 songs on mine, almost all of which i downloaded from deezer.

Is there a jellyfin sharing community on lemmy ? I ditched Plex years ago but I'd love to share my jellyfin server with folks.
