Piracy isn’t stealing. Stealing deprives someone else of something. Piracy doesn’t deprive anyone else of access, it creates wider access. That’s copyright infringement, not stealing.

If there’s no restrictions, then how is it illegal? What problems can there be? The rest of this doesn’t make a ton of sense.

Not familiar with that one, but I’ll give it a look!

I have used photopea before and it works shockingly well, but I don’t like having to rely on a web-service.

If I can make it run on Linux that may do.

Photoshop. GIMP is serviceable, but just give me damn Photoshop circa like, 2015?

Point being, if you can’t be arsed to do the bare minimum and post a fucking link, why should anyone give your post a second look?

Or I could just scroll past it and not give them the time of day because they were too lazy to post a link, you know, the primary method for navigating the internet for decades now. Why the need to overly complicate things?

No it doesn’t. If someone on Reddit deletes there post, the comments are all still visible.

Lots of people use Lemmy via mobile. How am I supposed to scan a QR code?

Or just post the link.
