Piss off, the UK is one of the safest places to be gay and to grow up gay in the world.

hive.co.uk for my UK homies, like Amazon but not a parasite on society generally

16yrs, made an account before the Digg drama, migrated there after.

I’ve not been back since, other than friends linking to stuff there basically

I’d say that there’s a scale

‘pirating’ an abandonware PC game that has long been left by the original devs, and isn’t for sale anywhere legally - this is still illegal under most laws, despite their being no legal routes to buy it at all legally. Most sane people don’t think this is unethical.

But downloading a hacked version of an app or game developed by a tiny independent team that truly care about the product, and invest the profits back in it - I say that this is unethical, as the people you are stealing from are directly affected by your actions. If you bought this game or app, your money goes directly to them, and they are more likely to keep developing other things.

Adobe, MS and the like have billions, so piracy has less of a direct impact on them -

So yeah, for me it’s a scale of ethical piracy - and you have to draw the line where you feel comfortable

Scottish Indy movement has been put back by 10+ years after the political and possibly illegal financial fuckups of the main indy party SNP.

They still have control over most of Scotland, but their political power in Westminster is still fairly small, this might change next election though

Basically the next time they fuck something up, this will be an even better alternative for those leaving - I’m done with reddit
