It’s much more important than the ‘Obama wears brown suit’ thing. Firstly, because it’s incredibly disrespectful to dead soldiers, but secondly, and arguably more importantly, because if he wants to drive a wedge between himself and the military, we want to let him. We want them all to know - to be unable to ignore! - just how little respect he has for them. If even some of them think about that when he starts asking them to kill US citizens and reject the orders, that’ll be a net positive.

I remember playing that with other kids in elementary school. We knew the first 6 or 8 moves, then would just make it up from there… we’d end up with a complete mess of string, but we didn’t care, and we’d keep going anyway.

Already has, but loading screens are too quick now to make it worth actually doing.

That doesn’t surprise me; I think the overlap between internet memesters and people who live in his area and are wanting taxidermy done is probably very small. Ad virality is probably only too valuable if it’s a product people can buy “as a joke” and post Tiktoks (or vines, I guess, at that point) of themselves showing off for laughs.

Not exactly what you’re looking for I don’t think but you might check for local Freecycle groups.

Maybe we should learn a lesson from Inglourious Basterds. Invite them all to a movie premier.

It’s such a fucking waste, honestly. I’d have loved a new Marathon game in the same vein as the original trilogy, but this is not that. Shit, I’d even take a remake of the original trilogy in this engine. But no, it’s more live service bullshit that nobody asked for.

Unless I’m misreading the article, that’s not at all what happened here and even with encrypted emails, you’d still have been caught. They knew the email address that allegedly belonged to the instigator; they just needed to connect that email address to an actual person, not to see the contents of their emails. The payment data made that connection.

Couldn’t properly tell the story in an 80 hour show; it’s okay, though - a 2 hour movie will do the trick.

Ah man, that’s awesome! Thanks for randomly mentioning this, you just made my keyboard experience 100% better.

Wait, Keychron Assistant works on Chromium? Are you on Linux? Big if true, I thought it just didn’t work on Linux period.

I think about this a lot. So many technologies that we have, if we could trust everyone involved to be acting in humanity’s best interest, would be amazing. If we didn’t have to guard our personal data like Fort Knox, there’s so many great things we could do with extensive connectedness. If we didn’t have to doubt the sincerity of everyone who promotes a service or product, everything would be so much better.

We can’t have any of those things, because humans are shitty, and are as a whole just in it for themselves.

This is brilliant.

Applications (and websites) can definitely allow / deny copy/paste into specific text fields; I’m not sure if they could disable it for the entire browser as a whole but I can’t imagine they’d ever do so even if it’s possible.

Hear me out here: Kobolds.

What if it’s a collage of AI generated art pieces? Technically the artist did the same amount of work as someone making a collage of human-created things.

I mean, you could make the same argument for paint brushes for traditional art. Or pencils. There’s a really big difference between someone using a tablet and an Undo hotkey to draw something digitally vs. someone making something with AI. One of those clearly requires a ton of skill; one does not require any.

I wonder what percentage has to be created by a human to be eligible for copyright. For example, if someone generates an AI image and then changes a few pixels, is that human-created? What if they over-paint 30% of the image? 50%? What if someone creates something in Photoshop from scratch, but they use Photoshop’s in-built AI driven tools to enhance it?

Either anything that uses AI in any capacity is uncopyrightable, or there has to be a line somewhere, so… Where is it?

You offer no solutions, suggestions, or even counter-points - only negativity and nay saying. Frankly, that makes me not really give a shit about your opinion.

There is nothing you can say to convince me otherwise because I have reality as evidence.

Then there’s especially no point in discussing this further with you.

Well, if that’s your takeaway from all that, I guess there’s very little point in trying to discuss this further with you.
