Still I’d ideally like .com addresses to be reserved for commercial entities and, while we’re here, US-specific sites to more widely use .us. Just to acknowledge I know this is a very pedantic hill.

I only browse by subscribed because I don’t subscribe to communities with “memes” and “shitposts”, if a community has too many of them I unsubscribe to them.
Immediately thought of this:
A screenshot I took for whatever reason in 2006, it’s quite a relic.
Can you save it DRM-free? That’s all I ask for.
All the time. For websites that are no longer online, it’s invaluable, what’s the alternative?
Things which happened get forgotten because they’re deleted. If something like Internet Archive exists that’s no longer a problem.
Dragon Roost Island from The Wind Waker.
Hence the fight. Why do I feel like I’m being taken oddly literally here today?
I know that but it still feels like paying twice, or paying extra for something that should be standard in any sane world. Presumably this software doesn’t give you a download licence.
Paying money to download content I’ve already paid for?
Yes I’m aware of that, I assumed that a site recommended on here would have that as a main feature otherwise it’s not much use for archiving. I already tried yt-dlp and it doesn’t seem to be supported.
There doesn’t seem to be any way of saving videos there, am I missing something?
Nobody sane wants to “use” it, but sometimes someone will inconsiderately link something on there.
Sure, that should be absolutely your choice, it’s your browser.
If sites wanted to run ads and host them locally without tracking that would be fine. But since they’re tracking users it’s essential to block them for privacy and security, and if someone isn’t then maybe they don’t understand the level of tracking involved. We need a better name than adblocking.
How to install adblockers, how to detect fake download sites that give you computer aids? Show them how to use a VPN and choosing the right one (a true pirate must always choose a VPN with port forwarding capabilities, so you can still seed) I feel like this is all valuable info we all learned as pirates the hard way, and valuable information to pass on to our kids.
Absolutely, I would say whether you’re teaching piracy or not, those are essential things that everyone online must know about; it would be unethical to allow your kids to go online without that protection.
Well FreeTube never claimed to be a platform, it’s a fantastic front-end for browsing YouTube videos without having to deal with Google’s crap, but you’re still using YouTube.
.org was always intended for miscellaneous sites that don’t fit anywhere else, I think that’s the most appropriate. I mainly remember this from back in “the day” but here’s a source I’ve just found to back me up: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc1591
I’m not a big fan of the “new” generic TLDs like .world, they’re not part of my hill, I don’t really care what they’re used for but I think we could do without them. Most Lemmy instances should really be .org in my ideal scheme of things.
