I’m not exactly neurotypical and I’m not good at in-person interviews. When I did video interview when applying for a training course, I did fine, because I wrote down a script. …What I’m getting at is that this video interview could have been an email. (Edit: Also didn’t get chosen for the course, so, meh)
I’m just a nerd girl.

US Citizenship®, now with DLC! Get new exciting paintjobs for your guns! Yeah, it’s a bit expensive, but think about how cool it looks!
To just have the most recent data within reasonable time frame is one thing. AI companies are like “I must have every single article within 5 minutes they get updated, or I’ll throw my pacifier out of the pram”. No regard for the considerations of the source sites.
If it had happened now, that figure might be accurate. However, this was originally exploited in 2022, so it’s probably pretty bad.
Colour palettes are collections of facts. Facts don’t have copyright protection and ability to claim copyright for a collection is pretty tenuous. However, copyright may apply to certain related things.
For example: Suppose you see that someone is selling a Photoshop colour palette for money, and included the entire palette in the store image. In that case, there’s literally nothing, legally speaking, stopping someone from prodding the image with a colour picker a bunch of times. But there would be copyright protection for the Photoshop palette file itself, because that’s a more tangible piece of data.
There are also other kinds of intellectual property laws that apply to colours. Pantone gets away with whatever shenanigans they’re doing because of trademarks.
Two points. I’ve never paid for anything by cheque (we have had bank transfers in Finland for ages) and Blockbuster didn’t operate here (we had our local video rental chains, and the convenience store chain that I used to go to is still in business, just, you know, not having movies for rent any more)
Technically yes, but in favourable condition the film can persist for pretty long time. People have developed films that had been sitting in a camera/cartridge for literally a century and gotten decent results.
My own objections is that, according to the proponents of death penalty, it will discourage people from doing these crimes ever again. …Hello? Ever looked at the history books? Actually, hey, look at them, the American right wing media is going full steam ahead on destructive propaganda!
There will always be people who will take bullet for the cause. And if the cause is about spreading a message, well…
No. They will do this no matter what the punishment is. And at that point, the only thing anyone can do is to use their own system of ethics. Mine says harshest possible judgement that can actually work and stop them from doing this stuff, without making them martyrs to the cause. At some point, people have to take the moral high road.
All I can say is that killing people to fight crime has never been as fruitful as fighting the mythical hydra. You can’t fix this stuff with just slashing at stuff.
“Hi, I’m an ultra boring nerd girl. I’m on several Fediverse platforms. …No, I don’t know Nicole. Please don’t follow me. No seriously please don’t.”
I’m not very good at socialising, sorry
Wikipedia has plenty of this stuff. Great photos and diagrams to illustrate important concepts.
For example, when discussing Turtles, you need the perfect photo to discuss the Turtle Mode.

The sad part about being a turtle is that you can’t really invite anyone else to your home. 🐢
In Musk logic: it’s not bad when he does it. It’s bad when people start discussing it, because they might come to a disapproving conclusion.
Short summary: Elon gives Elon some Elon and congratulates Elon for being such an Elon, that big money boy he is. Money!
That’s not how making babies works. That’s not how any of this works!
Ah, Julius Streicher. I barely had heard of him when I read about the Nuremberg trials. Dude was a propagandist. And they hanged him. He was literally edgelording until his last breath.
At first I was like “well, the other guys they hanged literally oversaw genocide, but this guy was a propagandist. Kinda harsh punishment for a propagandist. Wonder why?”
But now that I’ve watched the online hate pipeline run it’s course for a while and do its thing, I kinda get it.
I’m advocating harsh bans for the birdsite royalty, and if they don’t volunteer for that, maybe they should be put somewhere where they can be monitored to not propagandise. Not advocating for death penalty, it’s categorically wrong.
No, the 1990s didn’t smell of sex and candy. It smelled of a banking crisis and a box of 3.5" floppies.
I’m an artist / writer and I don’t see problem with generative AI when you’re at a really early concept stage. Exploring ideas, try to get over creative blocks, that sort of stuff. Maybe the AI hallucinations and fuckups can give you ideas worth exploring.
But using them as a literal basis for artwork you work further on is a fool’s errand. It’s easier to maybe take ideas from there, but work from scratch anyway. And I do realise that even that is controversial.
Also, could be a legal quagmire. Also not happy about the copyright appropriation situation or the environmental impact.
(I don’t have much against American beer. But you have to understand that this joke absolutely had to be made. There was no other possible outcome.)
