I don't know how else to explain mentally disabled and barely keeping it together to you, but frankly if you want to take away my house or my weed then why would I do what you say? ... oh right, the state's monopoly on violence [can compel me to do what you say]. Sure seems like a "well regulated militia" is supposed to be a counterweight to that monopoly, to prevent people from harassing and exploiting and destroying. Too bad any "militias" I can think of tend to want me dead. like, seriously, if you live in America, you implicitely trust that your army will be able to protect you from the right-wing bozos who spend all their time drinking and shooting in the woods. Otherwise, if they couldn't / wouldn't, then why wouldn't or couldn't the right wing bozos just decide to wreck everything in spite of our past? We were a proud people once before, and we may be again. If only we fight at the last.

It means your art is influential in whatever media space that is! Frankly if they were trained to emphasize the artist's watermark, maybe give more than a few, they could give credit where credit is due. Ah alas, it probably doesn't work like that, because the software we've programmed to do whatever we want wasn't programmed to do that. like, if it can take all that data and chart a course from whatever the prompt is to... whatever the result is, then surely it should be able to scan back and see where the roots of the art came from? Then all you have to do is generate a watermark for the top 5 most influential and 5 others that had very specific contributions. Boom, solved your ethic problem ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧══════════════════════════════════════════─────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: messages/549 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════════────────────────────────────── Make a habit of this.

Even writing programs that execute whenever you're running Linux to do nefarious things like... Stream your desktop to Microsoft? Send files to wherever? Mine bitcoins? Doxx your friends? Anything's possible when you install Microsoft's software on your computer. You might not even have to run it, because it can write a program into the Linux memory which runs in the background. It's literally just bits, and all the information to explain which bits do what is just... On the internet, ready for Microsoft engineers to use as they will. Seriously, you think they're working on features? For the users? Fucking get real, dumbass. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧══════════════════════════════════════════─────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/3894 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════════────────────────────────────── "Here's the thing.

Instead you should trust a quick google search that brings up a list of 10 (but no more than 10 because google doesn't actually search across the whole internet, only the SEO'd garbage that they keep because reasons) sources which all either tell conflicting information, or if you're unlucky they give information that's wrong, outdated, or otherwise just plain false." okay but chatGPT is trained on that junk, so it's gonna say the same thing ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧══════════════════════════════════════════─────────────────┴───────────┘ |
