If I stick my finger in someone else's but, will it be me with the finger stuck in the but, or that other person?

They actually get dangerously close to them, to pet them and take photos of them and feed them, then these tourists wonder why are they being attacked...
Perhaps you are interpreting their request to not use username and site name and instead use email, to instead use a long form Lemmy username?
No, I was saying to use their Fediverse username and their Fediverse password. Sorry if I got misunderstood. Nothing to do with the actual email address used at signup.
To do so, there would need to be a centralized or federated list of all accounts
Why would there be? The app would just search for the domain name first (let's say "aussie.zone") and then your username (in your case "hitmyspot"). That's kinda how email works as well. What centralized database would you need to interrogate a server on login? It's no different than the current implementation, only that you do not need to remember the website first, just enter the whole username in one go.
Email providers also have oauth
It's not really hard to type a website, it's rather hard to remember it. You remember your username. Okay. But where were you? mastodon dot what?
When you use your full address, it's not that hard to remember it.

The military-industrial complexes always have something to gain in wars (provided they manage to adapt in time). But there's no other alternative industry that can supply the needed hardware to win a war, when an invasion happens. It just seems that's all what our species can do best: kicking each other, then having a rest for a few dozen years and starting over.
There are not, and probably will never be, as they require proprietary blobs (e.g. see this issue in Catima)
No, I don't think it will go like that.
But if piracy would go away, then it would mean we live in a great world:
- Software: FOSS/Freeware/Donationware software prevails. People want to use this kind of software, and this is the go-to for any appliance. People would be deeply affected if they could not use free (as both in freedom and/or money, as mentioned before) software - gone will be the days of everyone needing Adobe products or MS Office for their professional work, and the year of the Linux desktop would be in the history books.
- Movies and TV shows: They would be available anywhere, on demand, in any format. Or there would be this website where you would go to and watch whatever you would, without ads. It would kinda be the same with music.
- p0rn: I don't have enough knowledge in this field, I just go to certain websites when I need. Guess it would be like on the previous point? idk.
As long as those points are not achieved, there will always be a need for piracy, and people will always find new ways to get their content. So far, I do not see us being somewhere even close to that ideal world, so there are plenty of reasons for piracy to exist.
I personally try to pirate things more ethically, for example I try to buy music and games whenever I can, but I know several people that pirate stuff just because they can.

I know that, and I hate it. Yet, I do not know any other way to meet hot singles in my area (or not in my area).
