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

Not even questioning the horse or the rabbit, like it’s obvious why they were banned. That’s speciesist.

Those solar panels look pretty nice…

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.

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.

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?

It’s pretty far from fine, but regardless, this is the midterms; he’s not running for anything.

Hey OP, if you don’t edit in the link to the article in question, your post is on Death Row.

This is the crux. It’s not about voting for genocide or not genocide; it’s about voting for genocide, or genocide with a side of fascism. There’s a clearly better choice. If you’re a left-leaning person and you choose to vote third party instead of voting for the less- or non-fascist candidate, you’re not only wasting your vote, but you’re directly contributing to things like we’re experiencing right now. If you think Harris would have been worse for the country, or for Gaza, than Trump is, I think you’re delusional.

I’m fully convinced that the people who promote that sort of rhetoric are either astroturfers trying to convince people to waste their vote, or just don’t understand how the voting process works in the US.

SatansMaggotyCumFart has the right of it: Push progressive candidates in the primary, but don’t let perfect be the enemy of good in the general. If you vote third party in the general because the neither of the two viable candidates perfectly aligns with your desires, it’s every bit as bad as a centrist deciding to vote for the GOP candidate. Vote for whichever of those candidates is better.

Possessing that would have immediately declared you the King or Queen of the Playground when I was a kid. Nobody would have even thought to contest your rule.

She wasn’t “my” candidate, any more than Donald Trump was “your” candidate. I voted against Donald Trump. Folks who voted third party didn’t do that. They may not have voted for him, but they didn’t vote against him.

This, really, is what gets me about billionaires. Literally any of them could have just faded into obscurity years ago, lived a life of abject luxury and never had a single worry. Or, they could have spent like 10% of their wealth on improving things for society as a whole, and everyone would have loved them for it. But no - they all had to just focus on hoarding more and more and making things worse and worse for everyone else. It’s fucking baffling to me.

Ah, yes. Because that’s the most objectionable part of that opinion, not ‘We should jail people for their voting behavior’. Can you get any more authoritarian?

Edit: But sure, if that’s where we’re going, I’ll bite:

It was a two party race. There were no other viable candidates. You didn’t vote against Trump in any meaningful way; you did nothing to prevent our current situation, and that’s a pretty wild stance to be defending.

Well, I suppose you’re welcome to your opinion, even if it’s an absolutely horrid one.

One could note that, since this man was arrested and so far none of the folks named in the Epstein files have been, they consider speaking for a few seconds past the allotted time to be a worse crime than sexually abusing children for decades.

I don’t even see how that’d be possible. Prices consumers paid were higher, but it wasn’t (in most cases) directly paying the tariffs - it’s just that the importer’s costs were higher because of the imports, so they raised their prices, too. Figuring out exactly what the reimbursement should be to each individual consumer would be functionally impossible even if they did mandate it.

Those reimbursements go to the importers, whereas the cost burden was on consumers, so really this has been a (successful) avenue for siphoning money from the poors to the rich.
