we are all numbers. lemmy.ca has a user number for you, your government has a number for you, your local library has a number for you.

that is just how a digital world works.

seems like there have been multiple contributors. so many clones of the repo....

well, there are quite a lot of stupid things i did as a kid. kids just need to learn critical thinking through experience.

i would guess, that a large audience of youtube is kids: except retirees, they usually have the most free time.

that mentality is probably what most ppl started with. however, youtube burnt quite a lot of bridges. i would assume, that many ppl, just like me, wont do the 3 clicks to disable adblock for youtube.

It takes 20 years to build a reputation and five minutes to ruin it. If you think about that, you’ll do things differently.

not technically a fronted. however, if you use it mainly for downloading YT content, it will run into the same problem as many frontends.

duckduckgo has an array of LLMs, which they take care of anonymity

do you need GPT4 specifically? If not, mistral has their large model for free available: https://chat.mistral.ai/chat

Yes, I told someone to inform themselves before making assumptions. Which, I think, is a reasonable expectation.

The rest of the comment was pointing out how archive.org acts like any other public library and therefore should not be treated differently. This does not carry hostility against the person I am replying to.

Please inform yourself. In these comments and on their website, it is covered that they do not provide books freely. Just like any other library books can be borrowed exactly as many times as they own a copy.

Just like any other library they sometimes provide a download for Adobe Digital Edition, which manages your lends on books. But as your friend with DRM stripping tools for sure can confirm: DRM is just an annoyance for legitimate customers, it forces legitimate users to use specific applications, while pirates get the freedom to choose how they interact with the not any more protected media. But this is a discussion for another thread as archive.org treats copyrighted books just like any other library.
